Ish, you will regret not getting a 911. I don't often say that about any offering, but the really large knives aren't as common as everything else and are more heavily sought after.

I understand the frame of reference, but don't really consider whether something is desired by the market as my own measure of "need".

I sold my B-11 (after quite a bit of use), and my BattleRat (kept the B-11 instead)....primarily because they were too "heavy" for my purposes in the field. I couldn't clear a trail with vines / thickets / thorns everywhere worth crap with the B-11. Chop a tree...sure, but I don't need to chop trees on a regular basis. They are both great knives...but just not sure the big ones fit me.

I'm loving the machete at the moment (and not a huge one...only 12"). Fits my needs very well when paired with smaller 4" knives. Maybe I'm just weird, lol. Maybe I'm just making excuses because all of my money is going to diapers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Getting all practical since becoming a daddy!

Yeah, if you already let the B11 and BR go, you have been there/done that.

Machetes are awfully practical. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Practical doesn't help too much....that is an awfully gorgeous blade. I wants it sooooo badly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Dan nailed this one.

Is this the first big knife since the DogFather? How many years ago was that? 4? 5?
