I would buy and use the crap out of this blade.

4 - 5 Inch Blade (handle length unknown) - Makes it easier to carry and lighter. Just the right size for survival/bushcraft IMO
1/4'' or 3/16'' Thick Stock
Full Flat Grind
Full Tang Construction
Convex Edge
Polished w/o Coating - Save some production costs and you guys don't offer any polished blades ATM plus black and polished sells
No Choil - Get as much "blade for your buck" as possible. To me a choil isn't needed on a smaller sized blade. More to baton with!
Black Canvas Micarta - Not the linen and there's nothing in black yet. Black sells.
Hammer/Digging Like Apparatus - designed for hard use survival/bushcraft needs.
Lanyard Hole
Flat/Sloped Pommel

Here's an idea of a new design taking from current models. People love the RC-4 and the RC-5/6 handle, so why not combine the two? Sorry for my photochop in advance. I give you the RC-4XL prototype design:

Specs:

Overall length: 9.75"
Cutting Edge Length: ~4.10"
Blade length: 4.5"
Blade Width: 1.56"
Maximum thickness: .188"
I added the bottle opener on the pommel, guess it doesn't matter if it's there or not.

The knife is essentially the RC-6 without a choil and the blade is the same length as the RC-4's.

I have named my submission La Reina (The Queen). Basically, it is very similar to the Izula, only scaled up about 141%- to make it more of a conventionally sized bushcraft type knife.

After using my Izula this past summer, this would be the perfect addition to the izula to make up for its shortcomings.

I didn't want to take away from designs that were already so effective. I took some of my favorite things from different RC knives and added some useful features. Starting with an enlarged Izula shaped blade, removable scales for storage (thanks HEST!) and a mean pry bar pommel. Here ya go!

something ive been trying and making

A tactical style but modified for UK Bushcraft use based on the RC-5

ie Pommel is now 2 hammer flats the top one is perpendicular on the point and pommel mid center line so you can easily hammer it in point first etc

20mm saber grind 4 degree to give a thick profile with 30deg secondary ie a large flat on the secondary better for general bushcraft use

Will change the scale front profile to that of the Machette to give a more fwd thumb position

spine scallop has a 80 deg bevel to give a scraper edge also supurb on a Ferro rod

both made from 3/16" thick

machette is heavy and has a variable grind ie a steeper flat grind for the first part and an axe convex in the heavy front part going steeper in the tip

Make a simple foldable Izula that can be carried in a keychain, more or less like this:

If the blade needs to be shrank, keep the same proportions. Make it all the same metal, if possible.

I hope more than one entry are allowed.

How about a safety tool based on the Izula, with seatbelt cutter, pry bar, and pommel? More or less like this:

The sketch of the Izula is shown on top, for comparison. Sorry about the poor drawing skills.

Edit: Allrighty, then. After some thought, perhaps the pommel and the pry ends should be swapped. But I'm not going to do another sketch...
