Looking for a big camping knife. Similar to Kodiak SK85

Aside from those mentioned… Skrama 240 is a fantastic knife that chops well above what one might expect due to the handle. Great steel, ergos, sheath and price.

Although more costly, you might consider reaching out to Crag the Brewer and David Mary to see what might be a good chopper they could make for you.
 
The Kodiak SK85 is an impressive knife, all right. I've found a light ax (Snow & Neely 3/4 Hudson's Bay single bit) more useful for chopping firewood.
 
This one is still up for sale.

Thanks for the call out, and Love....haha.
I was working on Big Ones last night.
That middle one is actually going to be a real 2-Hander

“Little One” 😂. The 53 does look a bit dainty amongst its peers.

I wanted to push the levels of Obscene.
I think I'm doing that....
Funny, as of now. The third from the left - I Could imagine this feeling almost well balanced?
I know, it's Strange....

Those blades look awesome! Love the handle shapes. It is nice to be able to relax your hand a little when swinging multiple times or when your hands are very cold.

Yeah, that natural micarta one was my first "Bowie-Type" handle that I made, and I was surprised just how much I like it. So now I got a few versions of the handle length.
