Thanks Will!

Can't wait to try this Zombie Dust stuff. My buddy just picked up a few cases from the brewery and shared the wealth. Have some chilling in the fridge right now. 🍻

So... What specs are you all hoping for in this almighty HOGB8?

I know she's a fatty... But what, what?

SPECS???? Did someone say SPECS?????

Hmmmmm, let's see.... the short answer:

"HOG B-EIGHT"

We have bantered about thicknesses ranging between .270-.358 (with .308 being pretty popular for obvious reasons) = True HOG territory!

Blade Length - If we stick with the .308 thickness, 7.62" from the Res-C handle should be about right and still be close enough to 8" to be called a B8.

A Saber Ground Blade would be grEIGHT for chopping, battoning, prying, climbing, wrecking and hammering. A chunky slab-o-INFI would also be an old school, classically influenced BUSSE bombproof blade that would be reminscent of the time NOSS' hair turned gray from frustration after trying to destroy a FFBM. This BEight Pile of INFI would be even more NOSS proof!!!

If I had my druthers, I dream of a choiless blade (with the bottom edge of the ricasso flat and even with the guard section of the Res-C handle).

The icing on that dream cake would be SAR 8 style jimping on the spine, a clip point and an unsharpened swedge (But... I LIKE Cake, icing or not)!!!


The release of the HOG B-EIGHT would be the release of a BEAST of EPIC PROPORTIONS (just like this thread that Will started soooooo long ago).

The demand is there!!! Want Proof???.... We're over 503,850 views and 7,295 replies as of this typing. PIGLETS, Soldiers, Adventurers, Campers, Survivalists, Collectors, Dreamers... i.e: Good Folks from ALL walks of life..... WANT THIS BLADE!!!:thumbup:

The Bossman knows this, and if he decides to release the Beast, he knows the order backlog would put the OTW waits to shame and he'd probably have to hire a bajillion more employees and build another new wing onto "Compound Wauseon" to keep up with demand!!! The other problem is the number of e-mails would probably CRASH his server and he'd have to get secret federal agency to recover the lost e-mails.


Dreamers will Dream & Droolers will DROOL....
 
:eek: ... :eek: ... :eek:

Stumpy... YOU ... ARE ... AWESOME!!!!
That was gr-EIGHT!!

I see you've thought about this just lil' bit. :D :p
And I like what you're sayin' :thumbup:

HOG B-EIGHT... Release the beast!!!

:cool:
