Biggest fix blade you carry

So I took out the BK4 this weekend, it's more versatile than I expected, now I can't decide between it and the 9...

Pirate, I always love a good seax. These blades were made by Kevin Colwell. Hundreds of layers of hand hammered, pattern welded steel. The Langsax is 22 inches, with Walnut and Copper handle. The smaller sax has a 1o inch blade.

I bought my Schempp Rock for camping and yard work at 6.75 in but I kinda regret not getting something heavier like that. The spyderco is nice for hiking but it could use more heft for hacking though saplings and whatnot on our properties

Yeah, the Schempp Rock seems like a very solid and sturdy knife, but it's not long or hefty enough for heavy chopping. It would pair up really well with an axe or a hatchet, though. The BK4 is nice for chopping and such but doing delicate tasks is a bit tiring because of the heft of the blade. Still, the narrow part of the blade is perfect for making feathersticks or sharpening a stake or such, can also be used as a draw knife.
 
I think I'm in the 4.5-5.5" crowd with a hatchet/hawk/axe to supplement if needed. And that only because I like playing with knives that size, I really could just take a puukko and an axe and be fine. I bought a 6.5" busse ash-1 and I'm really wondering what the point is.
 
Lon Humphrey made pig sticker.

It is the perfect tool and slices through pigs in order to get as clean a kill as possible.

I could not have asked for a better tool for the job.

I'm making up my mind if I 'need' anything bigger, like a BK9 or a Junglas.
But can't justify buying one (yet)... I'm afraid anthing bigger than 6" will become to bulky and heavy to carry along in my daypack.
Love all the outdoor big chopper pics though
 
Here's the biggest knife i play with outside, just to break up firewood, via batoning. It'll handle it fine.
 
The biggest thing I carry is an E-Toh. It's a Thai made coconut knife/machete with a 5/16 inch thick spine and high carbon steel. I call it the Beast.
