Attn. All Smatchetorians! . . . Wanna Help Design The Busse Combat Smatchet?. . . Start Drinkin'!!!

Boss Man,

# 7 is the obvious choice ! It checks all the boxes on .25 with convex edge. Anything else would be 2nd place
 
I liked 6 until I realized the difference between 8 and 6, 8 wins it of that group for me.

Would it look too much like a sharpened penis if you convexed all the way across and skipped the fuller? Including a convexed tip? Think old school Kephart, but leaf shaped blade, way the Frick bigger, and the backside convexes all the way to an edge.
 
#8, with the #11 handle. Make it .35" +/-

Maybe a reinforced tip...just the tip...
 
I will need one of each in hand to really be sure. If you'd like to send me the prototypes I promise to send them straight back. I'll pay for postage.
 
I think #17 would be my first choice as an actual user, but in the more traditional shaped ones I would kinda like to see the CBT reversed on #10 and #11 so they run in the same direction as the veins in a tree leaf or the fibers of a feather.
 
Like #2 so far, but no fuller and punch the scales all the way to the angled points/ends of the guard for thrusting comfort.


Busse KISS Smatchet.
 
#2 fully convexed, .22 stock, "slightly" modified fuller For The Win!

*slightly modified fuller is similar in shape to #8 but allows more flat to apply the nuclear treatment to. :cool:
 
#4, #6, #8 are my pics. Great design. No choil and no CBT.
