Taliwhacker?

Anybody have a user? What do you think about it? Is the handle bigger than the old school Res C on the Camp Tramp and Battle Rat?

I have seen a couple pop up the last month or two and was tempted.

wowza! somebody has to be beating on that bad a** knife! I know not many were released but still...

I've got a couple and one is a beater, as it was designed more for fighting than field use it's a bit hard to do design specific beating but I have used mine for fighting drills, practicing cuts, stabs and slashes etc on a few different mediums. Card, plywood, foam and issue clothing.

As a field knife it works well, not much of a chopper but does most tasks adequately.

I've never handled a Camp Tramp or Battle Rat but I do have a SYD Yard Keeper. The Tali has a bigger and thicker handle which for me is a plus.
