Let’s revive this thread, see if anyone’s choices has changed over the years. Photobucket sucks and is holding my pictures hostage, but the two I mainly use is a Busse Basic 11, or a Bill Seigle JEST Bolo. I wanted something a little smaller that carries a little easier and have a Busse Dog Soldier 8 on the way. I think that 8” blade should pair nicely with a smaller blade.
