Did the swamp get a patent on the Mega treatment?

I was daydreaming earlier and got to thinking about the battle mistress. More specifically a MEGA Mistress with the hybrid grind, that lovely rounded spine (JH10), and skelly handles (as seen on the nekid MEGA RMD).

This would surely be epic.

Going tip to toe with a 1311 is pretty MEGA, imho...

I do love the Forsaken Mistress... but how is the JH10 not already almost a Mega Mistress?
10" Blade, hollow grind that turns into a flat grind towards the tip, swedge with reinforced tip, rounded edges, with protruding tang...
It's basically there, just without the mistress name!

It's got the grind, just not the waistline(d)

Close, but it's a Jackhammer not a Mistress! It's more than a name, the handle (angle of handle to blade), blade height, sand hape,are different. The Mistress is a chopper, the JH10 seems like a longer fighting/utility blade. Swedges are no good for batoning, the weight distribution is different, and I have no use for that extra pointy pommel. Also It's not .35 at the spine with the hybrid combo grind. :)

I imagine the already great Mistress design would be over the top in chopping performance with the slicey and bitey edge with a splitting wedge for a spine.
 
I'm not sure if it would scratch the same itch as a Mistress but maybe we'll get a Mega Rat Mastiff if the Mega treatment is only found in the Swamp

Agreed! A 1311 is pretty mega in how it gets the job done. A mega 1311 with the same grind as what's on the Mega Swamp Warden, or maybe an ASHBM style would be really cool too- maybe the extreme hollow grind would allow for an interesting balance.

A newer mistress that defies gravity like the old SHBMs would be pretty dang irresistible!
