Average lenght of your fixed blades, and how long will the next one be?

I like a five inch blade for actually carrying everyday . Ten inches over all. My knives are not usually over 12 inches overall with 7 inch blades.

I tend to like them either:

1. Under 4.5 inches (for most chores)

or

2. 9 inches or over (for bushwhacking)

All mine are around 8-9" overall. These are used for processing game(deer & hogs). I feel shorter blades/knives are best suited for this purpose. I hope to buy a large 12" blade bowie next year.
 
My average is 11.5 with knives running from 15.5in. to 7in.. My next will probably be about 10in.

averaging folcers and bowies puts me at like 7.5in or so. 7-8 is my ideal length anyways.
 
Average OAL is 10.25". This is brought up considerably by one being 18.5". Once that ships off next week, the average drops to 8.5".

The next I hope to acquire is an 8.75" Talonite Tracker.

My blades have a average of 3" to 4" blade length with overall length between 7.25" to
9". I make one knife that's 11.50" overall and 6" blade.

Average is 14-15 inches in length. Waiting for a 17inch RTAK and a 9inch Kanji. Next blade I buy that I haven't already paid for is probably going to be be about 9inches or smaller. I need some smaller blades, more useful day to day and such.

thanks and take care

I don't own nearly enough knives. I do have a few Bowies, in the 13" to 14" OAL range. I'm currently doing some drawings for my first Custom, this will be a Hunter, blade length just under 4", OAL under 10". I would also like to buy a Randall Smithsonian Bowie sometime this year, I believe the OAL is over 15". After that, what I would really like is a Loveless style "dropped point" Hunter, with about a 4" blade. I like BIG knives, I would like to add one nice Bowie to my collection a year, and add a Dagger and Fighter to a display I'm doing in Stag.

Overall length 8.5 inches. Awaiting delivery of Spyderco Moran as next purchase, guessing the length at 7.5 inches?
