When looking at the models with 8-11" blades... what is you individual philosophy's/uses for these knives?

In other words, why them? Why not a 6-8" Busse?

Before I share my thoughts, lets see some of yours.

Thanks! :)

I agree with Rich. They simply chop better. Here are a few of mine over 8'' from over the years...

You can do alot more with an 11 inch blade than a 7 inch blade.

The bigger the knife, the more the fun :D
 
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a...HOG.

;)
 
Apparently your guys don't know how to use your tools well:) :D Medium size works just fine, in fact I find most times everyone appreciates the extra effort it takes to get the job done. We are still talking about knives right?
 
Well, my thoughts are this - big knives serve multiple purposes, some being - awesome chopping power, long cutting edges for BIG slices and the coolness factor. :)

So, what are your thoughts?
 
It all goes back to the mass of the a, uh steel yea the bigger it is the more work performed and generally the easier it is. The smaller it is, the longer it takes and sometimes you just can't finish:D. You know, sore muscles from overexertion.

LOL! Well said Russ!
 
How close do you want a zombie to get to you before you chop it's head off? That's the question.

Let's hear your thoughts now
 
I use to have alot of medium size knives and well I hated them to be honest, so I sold and traded them away. I fell in love with the NMFBM, long blade and very handy as a knife and a chopper too! So I have found that the large blade and a very small blade combo works best for me.
 
I figured it was about the chopping. But for a good chopper, I LOVE kukri's! I just might pony up the $600 for a KZ one of these days.

Nice pics with the swords...something I never tried was using a sword to chop. How do they do? Exponentially better than large blades?

Thanks
