I know it's not Thursday, but hey, I'm a rebel!

Anyway, I would thoroughly appreciate a desert sand/tan handled version of the USMC Fighting/Utility Knife. Just change the color of the olive drab handle and sheath. I've never really liked greens.

I would go as far to say that this already exsist as well.

How about a BK-34....3 1/2" hollow/sabre ground blade, 7 1/4" LOA, glass breaker pommel and can opener, bright stainless steel.

Had another idea last night. I had my Navy MK1 and my USMC F/U out and I was think how much I would like a 5-5.5" blade on the standard F/U handle, probably a drop point with a high sabre grind. Or maybe a modified clip point like the MK1. That would make a nice woods knife. Preferably with a guard and pommel like on the D2 extreme knives but if they went this the standard guard/pommel I'd like to see the spine-side of the guard trimmed off.

Is this what you are thinking ?

A hack saw can fix the guard.

No. On the standard (fullsize) handle. A fullsize F/U but about 2" shorter, not scaled down. I would settle for the traditional clip point but I think a drop point would be better.

a 5-5.5" blade on the standard F/U handle, probably a drop point with a high sabre grind.

How about a Warthog XL. Same blade shape, same thickness, same wide width, just longer/more of it ? I think it would sell well.
