I was playing on the order page with this idea. Chime in, what do you think? A WSK with a 6" blade, 2" tall in a Stainless with a 5" handle. No bell, but an extended tang/pommel. I wonder if this can be done proportionally and still be functional.
 
Hmmm...sounds interesting...!


I'll try to work up a drawing...give me more details. :thumbup:
 
The extended tang I envision would be like a Busse Skullcrusher, but blunt rather than pointed. The handle would still have the same drop to it. I think the drawknife area could shorten up more than the upswept area of the blade, but not too much. I also think one of the finger holes could go if that would help in shortening. Probably the finger guard one. The guard could possibly be that, just a guard. The forward hole would still serve as a hold for the draw knife. I think the saw back should be the same size.

I'm not trying to jack your design all up Dan. I love this design, but would like to have it in a fashion that I can manage. Nothing tops that black G-10 and naked steel for this blade. If you come up with this, I'm going to have to get a new job.;)
 
now that i would be very interested in seeing, i like the WSK but a mini version sounds good, lets see the drawings Dan, please,
