A choil on a larger blade might be ok.
I like that I can choke up on my 711 and it is really well balanced when I hold it in that grip.. but I for one would rather use a smaller blade for fine work and leave the larger blade in itīs sheath. Unless I for some reason opted for the one knife solution that day. How often do you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Handles are also important.
On a smaller knife I like a handle option that lets me get close to the edge. I would be more likely to pick up the vex than the cabs.
I guess it also depends on how you use your knife and for what.
..most days I think that choils are a vaste of cutting edge.
..on the other hand I find the Chopweiler with a large choil really sexy!!
/P
