Really curious to know how large Mudders would look and feel on a big blade? I'm sure I can't be the first to think of this but I can't find a thread covering it.

Far as I know, it has only been mentioned in passing a few times now and then.

Wonder if Dan has ever has ever tossed the idea around? The extra volume in the palm might feel a little awkward but I would like to see how functional and aesthetically pleasing they could be.

Biggest I think we've seen is on the Bog Dog and the Scrapper 5. Seems fine for that application. How big are you talking?

I guess I was thinking large enough to accommodate a six or seven inch blade. Is this crazy thought?

If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
