Looks wicked! Seems like it would need a bigger pommel for balance though?
 
how about the pommel shaped like a crescent moon? flaring out each side...

I agree. :thumbsup::cool:

It mostly needs a larger pommel for grip security.

Note that the enhanced fuller will be approx. .060" deep on each side which will pull a lot of weight out of the blade. :cool: :thumbsup: :cool:

That's nearly 1/8" of material removed from the center of the blade!!!:eek::eek::eek:

It should have excellent balance for such a large blade. . . at least it will when we get done with it!!! :eek: :thumbsup: :cool:

Let's Drink! :cool:

If you take that fuller idea to the extreme and make elongated holes in the blade. Would prolly look neat.
 
I’m liking 19 and 24 the most. I like how the flat surrounds the fuller on 19. I think it would be interesting to see that on 24, or perhaps just add the CBT to the primary bevels on 19’s design.

I like number 23 a lot.
Maybe with 19 enhanced fuller.

But quick question, what's the role of smatchet? Never used one and I'm kinda curious. Looks pretty cool though.

Its a double edged billy club :D
From what I understand, its a simple fighting knife thats relatively easy to use effectively.
 
@ ^^^^^^^^
Say SMATCHET out loud and make a forward wave motion with your arm and you can kinda picture how it’s used.

Oh & +1 for 19!

Think bastàrd love child of a machete and fighting dagger.

It's Multi purpose
 
Yeah I think #24 looks a lot more like an original smatchet than #17. With that enhanced fuller too! :)

I really think you should keep the length at 16.5" to pay tribute to the originals from WWII. I love that kind of detail thing.

I think all 24 needs is to just widen the pommel, not a huge rounded one, just widen the flare that already exists
 
24#,may remove cbt treatment near the tip,and......0.32”thick:D,fan of fatty.
