In the very first post of this thread, the Capt. did state that this was a build for the use as a fishing knife.

The Model 7 Fisherman/Hunter does stay true to this idea. The original blade design must have had the fisherman in mind. What can we do with the original blade to make it more Fisherman than Hunter without changing the design????

Being an Engineer, I still think if it isn't broken don't fix it.
