Never been a "big knife guy." To me, the BK16 is ideal, and pretty much all I'd ever need. BUT... i have the bug. I want a larger knife for general camping, wood processing, and all around big knife kinda stuff. I live in the northeast where we have a good combination of soft and hard woods.
So the question is, where does each knife excel and which is better at which tasks when comparing the two. Thinking of things like minor chopping (I have axes for heavy stuff. Not looking to fell trees here), and all around bushcrafty/camp type stuff (think stakes/notches, draw knife use, feather sticks, light batoning). Not looking for a specialty knife, but really a versatile jack of all trades.
Obviously each design will sine over the other in certain ways. As Uncle Ethan has said, each knife is a series of compromises. I know from reviews they are both great. There just isn't a whole lot directly comparing the two.
So what say you?
