Darkaether,

Well, I have already sort of abandoned my large fix blades. Let's see. I lost my RTAK and didn't both to buy another one. I also stopped carrying my FBM. I have found a folding saw is much lighter, quicker, and more usful than a large fixed blade. That and I usually carry my RMD or my Puukko these days.

So, in a way, I do practice what I preach.

That and I usually don't recommend anything that I haven't used, tried, or have experience with repeatedly over several outings.
