Marauder (random thought)

Bring it back with Satin Finish and wooden handle….get rid of that secondary finger guard.

ya talkin the sub hilt? I'm okay with that. kinda like it.

id like to see it come back with metal guards instead of the rubber plastic. that would be pricier though.

for the wood and metal guard, i expect a big price increase would happen....might not be so interesting to me anymore if the price point is what I think it would be.

What is the purpose of the sub-hilt….I honestly don’t know. Is it to protect your hand from slipping by keeping finger in place?

strong grip and more blade control basically. it works well as in fighting knife uses...outside of that its not really all that useful. I dont mind it though.

^ Exactly ^

Also, Sub hilt would allow your grip to break free if the blade got in a forceful bind as compared to ringed grips...although some might consider this a bad thing.

Personally, I'd prefer dropping my weapon but keeping all my digits un-dislocated <located? > and unbroken, as always, mileage may vary from user to user.

I've always thought that a beefed up Marauder with G-10 handle scales with steel guard and sub-hilt and a thicker blade with a sharpened swedge like that on the Natchez or Laredo in O-1 or A-2 would be one bad mamma jamma!

Or a downsized Natchez with all dimensions of the original but with a Marauder blade length of 9".

I'm not sure how well it does it with the Marauder, but another thing the subhilt does/was supposed to do with Loveless style knives like the Big Bear was keep the point in line with the wrist, forearm, and upper arm on the thrust to add accuracy and power.

Or a downsized Natchez with all dimensions of the original but with a Marauder blade length of 9".

I like this idea, I like the idea of an upgraded Marauder too.

Metal guard (rubber is fine for the subhilt) and AUS10a, and keep it cheap (although obviously a bit more than the current one). Thank you.

Another inexpensive alternative to the current rubber guard and sub hilt would be to use polypropylene like that on the guard and pommel of the Tanto Lite!

From Cold Steel:
The Tanto Lite resembles it's more expensive counterparts in many ways, (with similar blades, guards and pommels) but featuring sub-zero cryo-quenched German 4116 Stainless Steel blades, and newly designed handles. The handles are made in two parts. They feature a Polypropylene guard, pommel, and core section, which envelopes the knives full tangs. The core is then over-molded in a deeply checkered Kray-Ex for a non-slip grip thats easily cleaned with soap and water.
