Well, I'm here a little early but let's fire this Chat up. Just to let you know up front I have no new pics and no new models to introduce tonight.

Of course I will probably answer a few questions tonight, but information on the new "special" model is still tight. We have some special things planned with/for it but I don't want to discuss them until we make sure we can make them happen.

I do have somethings that I want to discuss though, mainly because I think it has been over-shadowed by all the new models and talk of new models lately.

Performance is the name of the game tonight, which might also include a brief discussion why we use Resiprene C and the possibilities of adding another handle material to some models in the future. :D:D
 
Any info an the warhawk wpuld be great. Is that a respirene(sp) c handle or what? Also, with sheath or without? regular or decaf?:rolleyes:
 
Hey, I swapped to Tea Drinking today...:)

That coffee stuff has been giving me headaches (dont say it!:grumpy: )
 
I recently got a SH badger attack in trade. I compared it to my bandicoot and noticed they are the same lenghth, but of course, the bandicoot "belly" is much smaller. My question is, is the howling rat the same "belly thick" as the old badger or close?

No the War Hawk won't have a Resiprene C handle, mainly because of the size of the handle and the skull crusher on the end. These things make Resiprene C very impractical for this model. We don't know exactly what it will have yet but we are working through some ideas. This is the same with the sheath. We get so many requests for different/special sheaths we want to make sure the majority of people are happy, this will take some time. To be honest people have a particular type of sheath that they like and if it isn't that they don't like it, no matter if it is the best available or not :D
:D:D
 
define 'belly thick'?

The coot is much shallower if thats what you are refering to...I have mor einfo on the coot later...:)

I don't have both of them handy but from memory the SH BA has more belly and a wider blade profile(slightly)

They are very close though. :D
 
From the spine to the cutting edge is what I mean. Sorry to be unclear. Gundy, I sent you an e-mail on something of topic.

Eric, thanks for the info. Care to elaborate on ideas so far? I have a Brend hatchet from ATC and it only came with a kydex cover. I personally would like a belt sheath of some sort. Maybe a drop in from the top, cover with a flap. Does that make sense?
 
Hmmm...a skull crusher on a Nuclear Hawk.....I think I'll stick to chopping his freekin' head off :p
 
This one post a min. thing sucks. Where the hell is everybody? I love my rats as much as my Busse's. Thanks for the info on the belly issue. I wish mine wasn't so thick:D
 
But I heard they are like chooks, they run around like that for hours...I guess after that, you could 'peg' em to the ground with the other bit...:D

What are we talking about again?;)
 
Good evening fellas,

So how are things going, or as my daughter would say, "Wats'up"

Sorry, I can't elaborate much until we make a final decision. The decision may indeed be to send it to a couple of the kydex guys and let them make some up and then you can choose one seperately from them. This will keep the costs down and then you get exactly what you want. BTW, I'm just throwing out ideas.
 
Hi Everyone,
The drop in from the top like a woods hatchet may be a good idea.Some sort of break away in Kydex may work better,and like you said you have to keep as many people happy as possible(I think I phrased that right).
 
I think for the battle ratchet (;)), that a back carry, pull down sheath would work a treat...Similar to how the old shians use to carry them (did I spell that right?)
 
Thats cool Eric. Don't want to get anyone in trouble. I guess we are a picky bunch. I see you have a fatty badger for trade, too bad I don't have any variants.

Do you think swamp rat will ever make a... oops forgot not to ask about new things.:D I just want so much! Spoiled brat I guess.:rolleyes:
