Good point, I like to build fires, primitive shelters, traps and the like on my camping trips and this is where the need for a big chopper comes in. I really dont like hatchets or axes for this because big knives have proved themself so much more versatile and less clumsy to swing.
How about the other characterists of these knives? How do they compare in sharpening, stain/rust resistance, edge holding, flexability? etc....
