I think you meant to post in this thread:

When is a small knife, too small?

Is it when you have a pinky hanging off? Is it when you have a hard time opening? Where do you draw the line in a small knife being... "too small"?

Back when my wrists actually worked, a Sargent M3. Fantastic knife.

Oh no; my pick was designed for Office Bushcraft. You will not find a better example for the price.

LOL.

Ok, fine.

Becker BK9.

Excellent answer, good sir. I’m not sure if it is the correct one, but I digress. What is the far left knife in the second picture of your first post? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks

I have an SP5. It is less of a chopper, more of an all around design. It even says "survival" on it. I haven't spent any time with it, so I won't nominate it as my BST ("beast")

That is the Commando Jungle Knife, from Chris Palmer (Scorpion Knives).

Well if you had a CS Trailmaster then I'd say you have the one to rule them all.

This one’s pretty good at your specified tasks, with the possible exception of fool-shanking, though I feel I could make do in a pinch:

Think this would do a lot better at "fool shanking" than most believe.

It’s a really, really tough choice between these two. If I had to choose one, it’d probably be the Scrapyard. Only reason being I’ve actually used it for outdoor purposes.

I have dozens and dozens of knives that can do any and all of those things.

Is this another "you can only choose one" thing???

Here is just a very small sampling of what I own....YOU pick one, they'll all do the job....

That’s a pretty sick line up.

Tops Prather War Bowie for my standard sized knife choice

Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri if I was gonna choose a real monster.

I still haven’t used my PWB yet.

I love the way the PWB feels in hand. The Scrapyard keeps all my attention, severely underrated knife.

Kitchen survival.

Wenger Loki - Can do most things a knife can do, and more.



Martins - very well rounded knives

Holy crap, that hawk cost over $500! It's very cool, though!

If hawks are in play then the ATC Model 1 would be my choice.
