Thank you, Jerry!!!
The "only" basic that never was : p
Id like one with an elf choil. Just scored a 10 user without choil and considered sending it in for a small sharpen notch. Would do it myself but sounds to easy for a ninny like me : p
Must resist : p
Elf choil would be good.
Jerry, bring on the B-8!!!:thumbup:
This will be my last post on this thread, Most importantly to bring it back up top and keep the pressure on, and second to BEG/PLEAD/GROVEL for a thicker option... I have a particular stump in the forest that I harvest fatwood from and although I can use my .25" B10, my DOGFATHER at .275 is WAAAAY better/comforting at prying the strips off the tall stump. That's the niche it will fill. THE ultimate indestructible mid length basic woods combat survival camp knife.
As to the weight concerns, my full height grind B10's at .25 are Super light as if they were infused with helium, so I think cutting 2 inches off the length and adding it to the thickness would allow it to balance very similar to the B10 while giving a fuller grip to the handle. I guarantee they'd feel a heck of a lot lighter than the SOD's from the yard.
So I have pleaded my case and with that, I'm off to celebrate and spread some holiday cheer.
Merry Christmas All and please remember those away from home this Christmas and New Years.

Here's dericdesmond's photo (IIRC) showing all four "even" numbered Basic prototypes at the Blade 2011 debut. Basic 8 is the left-center knife, between the Basic 10 and Basic 6:

IS THIS KNIFE DA BOMB OR WHAT?
Above is the choiled version. You can see my photoshop attempt to approximate a choilless version in Post 23.
FSH with a resC handle.
I can't believe these are still not out. This is the one knife I truly have been in love and most excited about since we seen the pics from blade last year or year before. Figures the one knife I want most and it's taking the longest to get. BRING IT BOSS !!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!
That will be the king of all that is resiprene, IMO. Pair that with an old Howler...YOWZAA!
