We need catagories. These catagories can be used to determine the final style the entrants designs will shoot for.

Titles for fixed blade catagories, say 9" blade length and under?

If you fire them off I will compile and post them. Right now I am going to bed

Fixed

5" blade

fighter

urban carry

Scott, if you're describing one single category, it sounds cool. My only comment would be we should up blade length to 5.45" for the same reasons the Sifu was made that way: it's under the TX limit.

Other than that one tweak, I agree. It would eliminate situations where we're comparing "apples to oranges".

Jim, just let the catagories come, we will sort it all out when we vote, only one will win. If someone wants to say 1" re-curved hawkbill tanto... thats fine but it won't get any votes. Lets go free form and I will make the list. What ya think?

1" re-curved hawkbill tanto

Scott Evans · Nov 14, 1999

Jim,
Yes the above in my mind is one single category. If it turns out that a 5.45 blade is developed for the final piece I would, in my mind, still consider it a 5 fighter. Greater then 5.5 I would probably think of it as a 6 and so on. That said I count me and you, making 2 for the 5 fighter category.

chalk up another one for the 5" fighter.

Spark, stop chuckling...........

The idea here is to get a list of catagories and vote on them LATER. So far we have the

1" re-curved hawkbill tanto
5" fighter
5.45" fighter
