We have had some small knives medium knives and large recently.
How about a fighting utility type blade for the JYDs? Something for the zombie apocalypse or Armageddon or whatever you have a BOB for.
A modified spear point type blade. Light enough for CQB but with the strength that makes yard knives so famous.
About a 5 to 6 inch long blade. 1 3/8-1 1/2 inches tall 3/16 inch thick
Full flat or saber grind.
And add either the full size handle or the regulator handle.
Then add color selection. Tan/black. Old yard logo. JYD on the blade behind the logo or on the opposite side. Number optional. Not a bad idea, or set of criteria Mike. BUT  personally I think it should be 7 inches from tip to handle and about 1.5 inches edge to spine.. Basically an enlarged Wardog, .200 -.250 inch ffg blade with Mudder (or a version about half again as big (circumference) handles. But an enlarged Wardog handle would work fine as well. That Mudder grip is awsome! AND while you're at it (yes I know, added cost) put a penetrater tip in it!

P tip sounds good. The reason I went with the spec is I want a knife that can still be handy for light tasks such as skinning. Also for a fighting utility I see to much weight means less control in the movement of the knife due to inertia.
My blade still has the ability to reach all vital organs for CQB but will still be short enough to wear vertically or horizontally on a tac vest in a pinch can be a IWB or belt knife. Strapped to calf

If it was made of infi, specially or considering it was FFG or DEEPLY hollow ground it wouldn't be all that heavy I don't think.

The reason I picked the larger of the two handles is for a sure grip. I find the small handle and the traditional muddy to be to small.
THE BEST WOULD BE TO INVENT A NEW TACTICAL MUDDY HANDLE DESIGN.
one that would allow for many grip types and fighting styles.

.200 would be a good comprise in strength and weight.
For a blade shape idea check out the gerber LMF II infantry.
I have one. The handle and blade are great but the hammer pommel is hardly functional and it adds to much weight. But I can assure you the blade design is sound. In my demensions I added a little blade lenght.

How about a rerelease of the classic blades open only to JYDs with their numbers engraved? DF SOD SS5 SS4 Scrapper 6 War Dog etc. And issue them at original factory prices
