An honest to god fighter
this is my idea of a fighter, and i don't think it could be done because of warranty issues, but if we're talking dream semi-production run why not. basically, I'm looking for a thin combat grade grand piano (choiless). The grand piano was a handled 6" pbf with a slight modification to the handle, there was no skull crusher spike and there was an index finger cutout. What I'd be interested in would be a the same handle shape as the grand piano, but with the skull crusher spike still installed, or at least with a slightly extended pommel, with no choil, and very thin. at least 1/8", preferably 1/16". a "fighter" is a butchers knife, it's not a combat knife, so everything about it needs to keep that in mind, thin hard edge, reletively acute tip, indexable handle thats grippy when covered in blood and held by a weak hand. preferably standard size textured black canvas micarta, no g10. I would not be adverse to replacing the full blade catch with a more basic ramp, something that puts pressure on the hand when you stab something hard, but not large enough to impede the thumb being placed over it. 3/4 flat saber.
The reason I say no g10 - there are certain things that should not be on a knife designed for fighting:
-thick blade that isn't heavy enough for chopping
-slippery handle material
-non textured scales (same reason as slippery handle materials)
-choil of
any size.
-weak or compromised grip (needs to fill out the hand, and keep the fingers alligned in close to a fist pattern, the farther the fingers are stretched the weaker the grip becomes when torqued in the hand)
5 blades in from the left is the grand piano
