i'm a big fan of Fallniven. they're great stuff. i ALSO like Mora, Helle, and EKA. fantastic knives. i have more than a few of those as well. yeah, shock? i don't just collect Beckers. i know, right?
a couple of the larger Helle belt knives typically adorn my hip at all times, esp the one with the fancier sheath, and handle trimmings. a gentleman's knife, that tends to disarm by looks alone. it's not black, or tactica lookingl, is warm and friendly, and the sheeple tend to leave their sheepdog alone more often than not. course, they don't know that for every knife (or velociraptor) you see, there's six hiding here and there. hah.
And going from a 1/4" thick BK2 to a 7" BK7 leaves a BIIIG gap where most mid-sized Bushcraft/Survival knives fall into. Thats what I mean by "Limited"
as for "limited", i see what you're saying... at least if you measure with a ruler, but in practice, i do not REALLY see or feel the burning need to have that option. i've been going from large khuks to smaller pocket knives for so long, and hitting the middle with Beckers and such, that i don't think in term of inch by inch, but more like palm widths :>
i'll happily use a BK5 where some people might be using a mora. just a matter of what i have on hand, and am too lazy to go fetch, or have brought with me.
probably the best kit i have is a combo BK4 Machax + BK11 classic-necker with micarta + BK13 Remora. Covers many bases. I don't feel like there's a gap of note between the BK4 and BK11, as the BK4 is my do all, except for say, fine tasks. needing a specific 4.95 inch bushcrafter never occurred to me before i saw all the discussion
