knife size

[Cobalt]

Oh, no, I didn't mean seven as opposed to a stout six or maybe five inch knife - I bet the scrapper six would have done fine if I owned one. I kind of consider it in the same general camp as the "seven inch standard" which I arbitrarily lump all the BK7s, RAT7s, Ranger six or eight or whichever into. All the "mini-choppers" which seem to get built on an approximately seven inch blade pattern.

To get the wood out, I would have made a few chops with a stout knife, and then probably broken the last bit. But of course you can't chop with a Mora - there is just not enough mass there. Any stout knife would have done, I guess. But my usual combo is so specific - super slicer and super chopper - that I just didn't have any middle ground tool that would do this medium task.

The reason I mentioned the Scrapper 7 isn't because I REALLY NEED a seven inch knfe, specifically - I just missed the 6 and I hear a new design is coming out soon, so I hope it's something like a scrapper 7 that would do me for defense and middle-ground bush work.

PS: Thanks for the thumbs up there, Fonly - this sure seems like a friendly place!

when I checked the site the other day the 6's were in stock. I was surprised/ Not sure if it was by mistake or what

I believe it was a mistake - I think they are sold out of everything. But despite my rather large teeth I am not the horse's mouth so it's totally possible that I am wrong. I would like to be wrong in this case!
