Those are cool, you have my vote....but how about a patrol machete comeback? Those were sweet.

they'll need all new tooling at KaBar for that one - far too long.

maybe in a couple years? :>

In these threads, I always have to be a jerk and mention that I already have a Brute. Neener neener!

The Brute is a great design. Nice knife. I find the sheath on the Camillus to be somewhat lacking however, and the coating on the blade is waaaayyy too soft. I've worn quite a bit of the finish off of the blade just taking the knife in and out of the sheath. Haven't even been able to bring myself to use it.

Use it!!! Thin down the edge a little and enjoy it... They are a lot of fun...
 
I'm in for 2 more... As I have said before this blade just makes me smile... With a little edge
work it will hold its own if not out perform a BK9 and it will look better doing it...

I only have 4 I'm not sure if I could part with one. You know the old saying if you have 1 you have none, if you have 2 you have 1... Well I guess it doesn't go to 4... 🙄

think of me if that ever changes. I enjoy unique knives. I suppose I could have someone make me something reminiscent of the bk1 out of .25" thick 5160 or something too.

I'm with you on unique knives. I have a Spyderco
Jerry Hossom Forester that popped up on the exchange a few years ago that always makes me smile.
I'll do some thinking about the Brute.
I have thought about making a "Tribute/Hybrid" based on a longer Patrol Machete with Brute style grind lines and a slightly longer handle.
The Blackjack/Effingham Brute has a lot more complicated grind lines.
I wouldn't want to step on Ethan's design rights and wouldn't do it without his blessings. It would be a single blade for my personal use ...

no worries. I tend to be pretty fickle. 😄

Poor form. Probably would have been better to not say anything than taunt him with your abundance.

Timmy, if no one comes through for you, let me know and I'll find my one and only Brute and get it to you. I hate to see a grown man suffer.

one is none
two is one
three is me
four is more
five is jive
six is …
seven is heaven
eight is great
nine is fine
ten is zen

I’ve heard all the way to ten, but cant remember it all for sure.
 
Folks who need or want should be posting in the "Knives Wanted" section so that this thread can remain a discussion of the "Brute" without muddying the waters unnecessarily.

That's where the best chance of success lies.
 
Back to the knife.

My guess on the ungrounded portion of the spine is that it is to aid in splitting while batoning? You'd get the best of both worlds. lighter because only that section is the full blade thickness.
