The keep the "design thread" uncluttered thread

[texastonydobbs]

me personally not a big fan of the Khukri, I had a few thru the years and well,I let them all go for one reason or another, Earlier BK&T khuri Reinhart ?, BK4 close enough and a few Khukri's themselves... for me not an everyday item or something I would pack on a camping trip,remote or car camping.... great chopping abilities and if Jeff/Mike/Shon and all invovled did do a RC version,I know I'd pick one up but it would be the less used RAT of the pack. IMO

Yea, no fan of kuk's here. They feel really wrong to me when chopping, never liked them. Now a recurve like the Becker Brute, I could get behind that.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

Not a huge kukri fan here either. Too light to be an axe and too thick to be a machete. The only way I'd buy one would be if RAT or Condor made it.

cap_chau, your Rat Folder looks AWESOME. I love that concept

 

[R.A.T.]

We have actually thought about making the RC-3 a folder for a long time. In fact, I think Shon's son has been working on that concept for a while.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

I'm a huge fan. :thumbup:

 

[Deere Man]

That folder concept is awesome. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. :thumbup:

 

[MustardMan]

So I guess I won't get my rat khuk then huh??

 

[Carolina River Rat]

Doesn't appear so. That's a shame too. A khukuRAT would be awesome.

 

[TheGame]

RAT seems to me, to be the more simple type. Not getting into any fancy schmancy designs or anything. Which is, IMO what a Khuk is.

 

[GhostWolf]

Holy crap I like that wharncliffe Izula!!! Also the leuku. It seems like a design that would work quite nicely.

Another vote for the wharnie Izula. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

+1 on the Rat folder! Now if you could only make it a frame lock....

I'd like to see the lock at frame lock thickness, but be a liner lock. I'd prefer both sides to have those lovely lovely canvas scales.

 

[Deere Man]

I carried liners for a long time with no problem, but I think a lock back or frame lock would match RAT durability better than a liner.

A man of excellent tastes.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

I'd prefer a lockback myself, but it wouldn't be compatible with the design from the thread. It has a flipper.

 

[hwpaintballer]

I like mp510's larger Izula design.

Thats great. I think it would be a HIT, the only major problem would be the locking mechanism. It would have to be a framelock or lock back to match the RAT durability.

p.s. I can't wait to see these clip points at Blade today.
