Big Sneaky or Duke?

[lmalterna]

I have been looking for an ideal Duke for awhile and now the idea of a BS is creeping into my head.

Can anyone that has used both give me some inclination how they differ in hand and in use? Shooting for 5/32" and TT if I can.

Thanks,
Bill

not sure I've ever handled a BS but the Duke is an awesome design, especially the Pro-Duke

I prefer the Big Sneaky...but I tend to like knives with some "intent" to them...

Based on looks and specs, I’d go with the big sneaky. I think it just comes down to personal preference.

Does the Big Sneaky have the same handle as the Sneaky Pete, or is it a bit larger?

They're both sneaky, so it's hard to tell.

They've felt essentially the same to me, though Fiddleback does tend to tweak things a bit over time, so Andy may have to clarify that one.

Its the same handle with a longer blade.

This choice is all about tip and belly. If you know what you like wrt to that, and you are still confused about which to get, then it is a simple case of just wanting both. We will sell you both, so dont let that worry you....

Andy nailed it above. Two pretty different knives overall, BSP is a fighter while the Duke is camp knife.

Both models I have enjoyed handling. I feel the Sneaky Pete handle lends itself better to the 4" model and variants. The Duke handle and blade shape are, in my opinion, better suited to the longer/5" blade length. No wrong answer....
