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

[tdog]

Boss Man,

# 7 is the obvious choice ! It checks all the boxes on .25 with convex edge. Anything else would be 2nd place

 

[Jerry Busse]

And now you see where the "Forsaken" series came from!!!!

Can you imagine the number of "Forsaken Smatchets"???

Let's Drink!

I will happily examine and test any prototypes to help, for research, and to ease any burden

 

[bikerector]

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.

 

[Leonardo63]

I'm glad you noticed that! It's one of my favorite design features!

Let's Drink!

Yes, very much the coolest ricasso/choil layout.

 

[gruntmedik]

#8, with the #11 handle. Make it .35" +/-

Maybe a reinforced tip...just the tip...

 

[Private Klink]

If I got one it would be #17.

 

[UNRL Ghandi]

#4 w/ an AALB d-guard minus the fingers, so basically a pointy d-guard.

 

[David Brown]

#9 with elf choils
.200" thick or less
slicey and dicey

a real Gut Shovel .................hmm that would be a great name

 

[MacLaren1]

#17 please.

 

[Currawong]

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.

 

[clampdaddy]

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.

 

[Stump Buster]

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.

 

[Ryker]

#9 with elf choils
.200" thick or less
slicey and dicey

a real Gut Shovel .................hmm that would be a great name

Have you been looking at MSC AR’s lately?

 

[willrise]

8 and I have way to many double IPAS and my go to Larceny

 

[Chingon1988]

What are the blade lines on 10 & 11? Mini fullers? cbt? aesthetics? never seen those before.

 

[Stump Buster]

... ive noticed the really thoughtful choil and ricasso design on the #1 drawing. Makes the smatchet Busse-esque and makes it very unique when compaired to the Fairbairn, Al mar, Boker, and Cold Steel designs.

+1

 

[sixpak1]

#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.

 

[Cobalt]

#4, #6, #8 are my pics. Great design. No choil and no CBT.

 

[Cobalt]

oh and how about some bumble bee G10
