Blade height preference in medium fixed blade?

[pitdog]

I prefer 1.25". On a 4" knife, 1.5" can be a bit extreme. Here is my big-paw at 1.37" and I like it. Wide blades offer the advantage of greater rigidity (stiffness) for a thinner thickness. They are also much better slicers when it comes to food prep (provided you have a full flat or full convex design).

I like that one buddy, great looking blade !!!!:thumbup:

1 1/5 X 5 seems to be my favorite, just feels right.

I agree great looking knife.

That one had a 1 3/4" tall blade, and probably the most comfortable handle I`ve held.

Here is the start of pitdog`s design, 2" tall blade!

I guess it depends on what tasks you are faced with more often. For me its a 1" to 1.25" blade height. Like stingray, 4" X 1" is ideal.

This is money for me too. Aurora is a LITTLE to skinny - but is just fine. Kephart is good. Fiddleback is nice too. Walt's knives were comperable. 4 x 1 is about perfect. Give or take.
