I agree entirely....it is when you want to fell a tree with a Kitchen knife you might struggle....that's why I said it the other way round....but it is easily lost in translation. I may have miss understood what Unsub was saying....but I thought he meant using the large kitchen knife as a chopper as well.

If you like these knives you can find them here.

You will need to scroll down for the knife. ( I hope this is OK with the forum rules...if not my apologies....I would always say a Bussekin for a large knife though and my expected to be favourite is the DFLE.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
