I had a dream about a Kabar sword

I was thinking more like the Hanwei Banshee but Kabar style. 21-22 inch blade 1/4 inch thick stock, slightly upswept blade. Think Chinese saber with a hand and a half handle ..... YUM !
 
I looked at Hanwei Banshee and I think it is very nice. In my dream there was one that was a one handed sword and another that was a 2 handed sword. I think if Kabar makes them they should have one that has removeable grips and then make a few different style grips. Some of wood, micarta, grivory or whatever. I would say to keep it American looking because there are so many asian looking swords. The black coating would be good. One handed should be a fatter blade and two handed could be similar to the Hanwei Banshee. The other thing is if Kabar makes it to not skimp on the sheath or scabbard. I have a few Kabar knives where the knife is great but the sheath is kind of bad. Many Americans like asian stuff but since they are not asian they don't want an asian sword. If you make something that is American looking then we will be more comfortable using it. I know it sounds funny but I was in US Army and I cant have the Marine Raider Bowie or the Kabar USMC fighting knife because it is USMC and I wasn't a Marine.
 
Not necessarily Ka-Bars, but something akin to a sword in Becker fashion. Elongated BK5's.

I was thinking something like this. The blocked off section on the guard is a single "D"-shaped side ring sort of like on the guard of the CS Grosse Messer. :)

Thanks! Here's a version of the pic I uploaded to Photobucket. The tiny thumbnail when uploading direct is a bit of a comparative pain to view, isn't it? :p
