An Ethan Becker And Bill Siegle collaboration would be too cool!

Like a BK-12? Only thing missing is the extra bit of thickness....though you'd have to grind off the thumb ramp.
Hell, yes. Though from what I gather, the Esee collab sets didn't sell that well. Dunno why, bought a couple myself (as gifts) and they were most impressive both in function and value.
A lot of great ideas, so far. My fave would be the Siegle collab. Or the huge barong (or something) Jim Bensinger did....I don't have a pic but perhaps he'll chime in with one. That thing is/was a beast.

The lkitchen knives looked great, other than the red inerts on the handles, killed it for me...

Yeah, a BK12 length but 1/4" thick, rampless and the blade shape/grind of the BK2.

The bk 2 is too short for such a stout thickness
I would be very interested in a bk2 magnum with an 8 inch blade !!!

I have always been a proponent of a BK with the thickness and blade shape of the 2 and the size of the 9.... I think without the swedge on the 9 it would baton better and chop better as well as it would have an increased front heavy feel both from the thicker stock and the lack of swedge...... as far as a bushcraft large chopper goes, it would be just about my dream knife.

i'd like to see the current models stop being discontinued honestly.
i'd also like to see the brute or patrol machete come back. i think i read somewhere here on bf that the dies were too big for kabar's presses(?) i might be completely off the mark here. but if that's the case, at 18.75", it's bigger than the brute, 1/4 smaller than the patrol machete. what gives? i don't want excuses, i want results!
and also the 2/9 mashup would be great.

I would love a Becker Bolo. The Machax reminds me a bit like a bent bolo.
I also like the idea of a production JEST like Siegle's below.

Then again, I have current Beckers to catch up on before I go pining over something new. Don't get me wrong through. I would beat the snot out of a new BK6.
