Out of curiousity, what is your favourite size?

In the woods? My 7/7. Otherwise it would be a toss up between 5.1 & 4.7.

I just ordered a choilless GSO 6 which will complement my GSO 4.7 which I hope to be receiving in the next few of weeks or so. The next two to add to my repertoire will be a GSO 4.5 BC knife and a Necker II. I will preorder the 4.5 and hope to snag a Necker II during a Monday Sale. So to recap: 6 / 4.7 / 4.5 sliver & Necker II

I'm liking your logic :thumbup:
Last year I pre-ordered the 4.7 & 6, then just placed an order for the 4.5 BC a few weeks ago

Welp, this one is going to derail this thread a bit but I'm posting my prognosis in the hope that it will be a lesson to others and maybe the Kevlar gloves which you had mentioned, sounds more of a factual suggestion than off the cuff!

The hand surgeon I had to visit at Kaiser told me that they were concerned about some permanent nerve damage and recommended surgery to graft some nerves in that index finger and if the damage was too severe to the tendon, to also perform some repairs, but he wasn't too concerned about the tendon! The way it was explained to me, severed nerves are like live wires being cut and they can wreak havoc causing Digital Neuroma which can become very painful and the pain is akin to getting electrical shocks!

I have very little sensation on the inner side of my left index but it has only been 10 days since the ER visit and IMO the index has made pretty good progress, although it is pretty weak and I can't make a proper wrist (the darn stitches are still in) Anyway, he wanted to schedule for surgery tomorrow but I balked and said that I had to think about it. Thing is with the surgery, my left hand will be in a splint for 4 weeks for grafting nerves and up to 3 months if tendon repair is required. Then I will have to be very careful that the newly grafted nerves don't get all torn up by me doing something too strenuous. It will also take a full 2 years to see if they surgery was successful.

I don't know as I am sitting now, I am resigned to letting it be and to live with this electric eel of an index finger I've created for myself.

This sounds horrendous. Best wishes for a fast and complete recovery!

I second that, especially the complete recovery part. Hang in there man.

Thank you all for the well wishes. Truly!

I have noticed that since I type a little differently now because of the injury, I am making some mistakes which the darn autocorrect is changing the words I am typing fast. For example, the GSO 4.5 was meant to say that it is a slicer not a sliver or a silver! I can't make a full fist not a wrist! LOL! This is making me look like an under edumacated buffoon! Jeez!

I picked up on the wrist, and guessed fist (it only made sense). With so many people posting nowadays from phones, phablets, tablets, etc., with autocorrect, a lot of the misplaced (not misspelled, per se) words I attribute to autocorrect's lack of vocabulary.
