5th change I would make, lol. F%$# the SR101 steel(kidding)
I will say though, there is one thing that will stop me from buying a new one, which is if the new blade shape has a top swedge(swage?) on it. I baton like crazy, and those things destroy my batons ten times faster. I'll redo the list for all to see.
1. Smooth, wide, rounded/circle---> choil....... Not the thinner more uncomfortable current version.
2. Different color--->Tan, Grey, Brown, some other color besides black.(No white please). Could even be army green, though I don't think it would be popular.
3. Satin finish----> No paint.
4. Drop point--->(No swedge), but make the tip tapering longer for better stabbing ability.
5. Complete Full Flat Ground---> not even a hair's lip on space on the spine.(maybe just aesthetics, but that's what I think looks best and batons best.
