light bush sickle

take the NMFBM format and heavily skeletonize the handle, shave it down to sub 3/16", make it with the boney configuration (maybe), and gut the bottom side of the blade to give it enough curve. keep the start of the choil where it's at, then curve almost up to the spine dropping back down to the middle of the belly. it would shorten it to about the length of the standard fbm, and have a much heavier curve then the custom done in a similar style out of a fsh.

if done right, it would be fairly light and thin for use on light brush.


edit to add:
mini sickle - same idea, a -heavily- curved (boney) version of the sus scrofa.

The Return of the Old School Badger Attack, via a shrunk down version of the ASH-1. I knew I had a good idea with that one! ;)
 
I'll chime in and hope that I might get my first busse and a really great story to tell...Eh doubt that will happen but its still fun to try! (Thanks for the opportunity from a long time lurker)

First and foremost the name "Devil's Toothpick" isn't actually a knife that's out, but rather something I made years ago when I was young(er) and had a bunch of free time on my hands...The name itself was just a nickname a friend gave it that made it stick.

I say a nice devils toothpick design. Its not technically a knife so much as a hybrid but what the hay.

In a nutshell its a wicked little thing, round handle just large enough for you to hold in your hand with a small fuchi-gane to prevent your hand from slipping up to the blade. The handle itself would have some bite from a standard groove pattern in it. A loop (ala karambit) at the end could be added to allow for a quicker draw. (Think of a wratchet or screwdriver [screwdriver handle only thinner])

The blade itself is what gives the devils toothpick its name and reputation. Its a three sided blade, think of a piece symbol without the circle around it and that would give you a good overhead view of the blade. Sharpen each edge (line) and add a point at the top and you've got a nasty little blade. Blade length would be 3-4 inches long or shorter if needed.

The blade is mainly a last resort item with the three sided blade designed to promote blood flow, a stab from the devils toothpick is quite difficult to stop the blood flow without some quikclot or other advanced medical items. It also can be thrown in a pinch and from personal experience I know they are quite the fun throwers.

As I said not exactly a knife, but more so a little dirty trick you could keep handy for a tight moment. I loved mine until it broke during a throwing session.


And if all else fails how about a Busse-Song? (Bali-Song) I know more then a few Bali forum people who would do unspeakable things for one of those! Mmmm....Snakeskin [Or just G10] handles and a nice clip point hollow ground bowie tip...

How about a nuc EDC with NO CHOIL!?! That would be a sweet little knife.

Make it anorexic, too, while yer at it :thumbup:
 
i wish i had seen this post earlier today. i'm just glad the the yard is involved now because i was about to post in the other forum that my idea latest idea would be great for Scrapyard.

i'm still thinking mojo but it tured into this!!

my newest idea is a 10"- 12" khukri that's modeled after the mojo/mofo line.

thin sr101 sr101 infi... i'd like to see it thick but i love the mojo and think a thin blade would be nice on a knife like this.

since SYKC is now involved the name even fits better!!! half khukri and half mojo... KHUJO!!!!!

if you look at the tip, belly, and recurve of the mojo that sucker is perfect to extend and curve with maybe a little more belly to create a khuri style blade.
 
Id like to see a 4 inch or so "cop tool" like blade with a squared off tip designed for prying. The bottom of it would be the blade and the top would have a seatbelt cutter ground in. Coated blade and Micarta scales. Also like to see the tang extend through the handle end into a glass punch.
 
I would like to see a scaled down version of the Sarsquatch. Blade around 5.5" and a little narrower. Handle the same. Like a little brother to the original.
 
Here are some suggestions for the yard:

#1
~2.5 inches of SR101 sheepsfoot blade with plenty of belly, no choil, comfortable blaze orange res-c mudders that are similar in shape to the S5 handle. Imagine if the MUK and the Vex had a small, orange lovechild (with a straight spine)..

#2
A SY version of the ASH-1 with mudders.

I'd like to see a GrooveMaster with a mini-choil and having a Wharncliff blade, although I'm not sure it would sell. I think it would be a very useful knife, but it would look very strange to most folks.
 
I dunno about anyone else, but aside from wondering if my suggestions made an impact - I'm just excited to see what all four teams come up with. I hope the other teams will give us updates like Amy... whattayasay Garth, Bubbles, everyone?

Spill the beans!!! I can live with a description, I don't need a completed prototype. I don't have to know, I just NEED TO KNOW! :D
 
I reckon we'll hit 500 posts before the teams decide on the designs they're going forward with.

Hope i'm not letting the cat out of the bag here but i'm kind of keeping my fingers crossed that Jerry has a secret eye on this thread or has hatched a cunning design of his own that he will enter into the comp at the last minute. Just to add a bit of spice to proceedings and show the rest how it's done.
 
@ Soulrack: I know...

Spill It and Bring It, the new Busse mantra (or not). ;)

and it's funny, I'm surprisingly sort of proud of my suggestions - like, I think they'd actually be pretty cool and useful (and I'm no knife designer nor do I play one on TV but still). I mean, who wouldn't love: a Boney NICK, or a SHSJ-sized Culti, or an UberToughRuck, or a NM Bushwacker Mistress in NMFBM length? Those would rock... :D

in any case, I can't wait to see what they come up with. :thumbup:

good observation Royal. I thought for a moment the other day about Jerry not being on any of the teams but then was distracted by the coolness of the contest as a whole. It would be cool to see Jerry bring it once again. :thumbup:
 
I've always wanted a straight handled steel heart II but with about a 15" blade. Something about that straight blade with the spear point was always sexy to me. No recurve, no clip point. Just a 2" wide 15" long single edged spear point with a choil of course. If it had a 10" handle it might be the badest shortsword the world has ever seen.

Oh yeah... and at least .25" thick. Perhaps more.
 
How about a FBM with a hatchet/axe head on it.
Fusion handle, hatchet head and inbetween the head and handle, a six inch blade with sawback patch on the spine.
Ultimate Combat Mistress?
 
Old school Satin Jack, .27"+ thick, full convex, Nuclear meltdown treatment.
Thants what id love to see.:eek:
