Initial Sketch Of SARsquatch. . . Check Out This CAD Drawing!!!

Yeah, Jerry did an amazing job of translating all the chatter into what looks like an amazing tool for the things we do. A thinner blade will be cool. All my knives are brutes (.27 or thicker). I think .187 to .22 will be sweet. I might lean toward .2 to .22. It's amazing what a couple 1/100's do to feel. I too trust Boss HOG on this. I can't wait to get one :)

While I entertain the idea of carrying my CGFBM, a knife in the 7 to 8" range is perfect.

A cool thing about seeing Jerry's process is seeing how he was really playing with all our ideas. For one I am a nut for the smaller choil on the BATAC and FBM. Partly because I hate working with my gloves on. I can tell Jerry played with the smaller choil but it's really smart to go with the larger radius for SAR. A leather glove is real snug in the smaller choil and an insulated glove we may have to resort to at times would get chewed up for sure. Having gloves on during missions and training is really important and something I do try to stick to during these times.

Also, I was asking for a straight spine to the tip. What he did in his design gives almost ALL the benefit of that yet adds the penetration I felt we needed to for splitting smaller wood. Keeping the point on centerline is a nice touch. You can see the different lines he played with. Those are some wicked CAD skills Boss has.

I think Jerry has it right here. I don't see anything I disagree with.
 
maybe jerry could do a SARsquatch Special model with a hi vis handle or two, say red, yellow, or orange AND a SquatchHunter model (for hogs who want to put meat on their table) in a diff color like Green linen, snake or Sasquash camo?

damn, i just pissed myself again :mad:

what do you think?

I think my spider sense is foreseeing Company Store special editions.
 
I think 3/16" would be fine. I've got access to a truck full of goodies for prying. From the Halligan to the Holmatro, we've got it all, except for sharps. I need to bring my own. :)
 
Oh golly, a SAR model with a yellow handle... Where have I seen that before?? Oh ya.... In my Rescue Vest!!!

Halmatro... Hope yours isn't the hand pump model.. What a worthless piece o' crap. We've got one on ONE Engine, and it's worthless. (quick, tap out the truck moneys!!) I hear their hydraulic spreaders and cutters are nice though..

Give me the marriage any day.

Ours is on the fire rescue truck. It runs off a Honda generator. Man, hand pump? That sounds barbaric.
