Back in the day when I was frequently posting in the Wilderness & Survival forum at BF, this topic was unending. Some folks just hate wasting cutting edge on choils. I have knives with and without choils. I prefer no choil on a small bushcraft knife. But on a big knife like a M9LE, it's nice to be able to choke up a bit for detail work. My two cents in this endless debate.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
