Hi Guys, boy that's a great looking combo look's very traitional, and I got an idea here on BladeForum to use my Brown handles on my BK-5 with my 2Hawks WarBeast Tomahawk, but then I got a knew knife and read here a guy mentioned a Rodent 6 and I have one of them too, but I had mine modified, I had mine thinned down and now I can make pretty good curl's and I had the top gaurd taken off and it looks like a beefy Ratmandu, my regular Ratmandu is one of my fav's but for a 6" blade my modified Rodent 6 is awesome, the area where they took the top off on mine is a smooth curve where I can place my thumb for drilling into wood like for a fire board, and the way the hand fits now a great chopper with no hot spots like it was made exactly for lite chopping, but then both my Bravo ' s 1, and 1.5 work great I even think any one of my knives from a 4" make it a 3 1/2" blade to a 9"+ would work, but my fav combo I still like my modified Rodent 6 without the top gaurd and my 2Hawks WarBeast but then those knives work great with my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet, I do like compact carry that's why the Hawk over a axe, even my folding saw is a good compact one and mine is the Wicked Tough Saw made by Wicked Tree Gear because it's tough like the other gear, and I can carry it opened in the sheath and even lite chop with it, I do like light and compact but I still like a light weight to punch like a heavy weight, so I choose accordingly.
