I agree with most of the others....I like the DF as it is and I don't really have any use for a longer/thicker DF. That would really make it a uni-tasker (chopping). It would be interesting to see how mudders work on a knife that large but I'm not sure they would work...maybe some over-sized mudders? Mudder magnums...? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I did vote however : 10" 1/4" w/mudders
