Bush Brute - Bushcamp but bigger

[bikerector]

Good morning folks, there has been several comments of people liking the design of the bushcamp knife that came out at a prototype recently. I was wondering if there are people that might be interested in a larger version.

Think same design except the blade would be about 5.5" long and 3/16" thick. We would adjust the grind a little to make sure it still slices adequately given the thicker steel, going with a slightly higher convex grind.

For size reference of the current bushcamp, here is the prototype with a SAK harvest (same size as farmer). The 2nd picture is the initial sketch for a profile view of the current bushcamp.

The increased thickness and length would aid in chopping and I could see some people interested in a more robust bushcraft knife, or dare I say survival knife, finding this useful. Or, a person wanting a hunting knife that can do some chopping to clear out some branches for a stand without getting into big knife/chopper territory. The belly will still perform well for cutting up an animal and the bigger size will allow more cleaver-like utilities out in the field. It would be more brutish, thus the name if people think they would be interested.

I'm surprised there is little interest in this. I think the Bushcamp is a good design and a slightly larger version should make an excellent all around user.

I had one guy say he thought it would be cool via PM because of a different knife of mine we were talking about but I agree, I thought it would be more interesting. Maybe it's bad timing. I do have a bunch of new prototypes floating around so I'm kind of holding off on this one a little bit along with trying to get my own subforum together so I have a better company landing space for customers.
