From a marketing standpoint, it occurs to me that to create maximum buzz, what we may see is a completely new branding of Stump's description. Midway between 7 and 8 inches of INFI with a Basic handle, but thicker than any Basic, with a swedged clip on saber grind, jimping, and choilless--all fairly "un-Basic-like" refinements.
The word that comes to my mind when I think about those specs is "domination" -- both of any task that might come its way and of any challenge or situation its owner may face. Might qualify for a whole new identity.
We've had the Regulator from Scrap Yard. How about a Busse Dominator?
