Hey I like the look of that cord wrap, and it might just be the thing to make the Mutt's little handle fit better in my massive paw. Thanks for the idea!

-C.

That just sounds funny when I read it and then look at your avatar!!

The Mutt would definately be my choice.

If I had to narrow it down to just one I would pick the DM or Scrapper 6 for urban, FBM for Africa and DF for the American wilderness.

The FBM because in Kenya we don't really chop for our firewood as we just use 3 logs and push them close for a large flame and pull them out to lower it. So I can have my chopper but not really need to chop logs.

The DF is tip heavy so if I am supposed to choose one blade (not even an axe) then the DF is the perfect choice for chopping.

Well, since I don't have a DF yet I'll say my Battle Rat. Hmmm...or maybe my Rat Mastiff.

I guess I'd have to say my FBM, I am a larger individual with large hands (6'1" 245) so the 10" FBM fits me very well. It may be harder to carry/conceal in certain situations...but you cant have it all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Plus, I am a sucker for big blades <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm a larger individual as well. I was wondering how hard it would be to conceal a FBM as a necker with a loose fitting shirt?

Just don't use the Fatty. It will make you stoop over too much. You could have Rainwalker make you a Dundee rig for it! This is a knoife!

I didnt exactly mean deep concealment like a neck knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
picture the set up Cold Steel has for their Laredo Bowie...that is a 10" to 10 1/2" blade with the belt peg mounted on the leather sheath for in the pant carry, and many do just that.

Or standard carry on the belt for those times when concealment just cannot be obtained as much.

SPEICHER, nobody can tell you what YOUR best choice is. That FBM and small SAK can handle most anything!

Oh, I know HD, I just like to explore my options. Most of the 4" to 5" blades dont fit my hand as well as the larger knives like the FBM. The smallest I would go is a Yard hook or Mini Mojo, those two sizes would also suit me quite well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm still a touch leary of the recurve of the hook. any opinions as to whether this improves cutting or not?
