Recommendation? Choil vs. Larger blade

Unless there is not enough handle for an ultra compact folder(such as CS Tuff Lite), then it may make sense to sacrifice cutting edge just to have a better grip.

Other than that, I really don't see there is any point of having a choil on a folder, especially when it is ill placed.

Choil/large ricasso on a long fixed blade is a different story, it does reduce fatigue somewhat and provide better control for finer cuts/making shaving.
