Jay I only found out after being a member of this forum for a goodly while that,*yes*, a man can have a knife that's just too dayumed big!!!!!!!
Now that's hard for me to admit, but then we're not talking the everyday kind of knife here either.
I have always been and almost always will be of the thought that when it comes to knives bigger is indeed better!!!!!!!
The reason for that is because there's been many the time when I have taken a smaller knife out in the field and come across something I needed a larger knife for.
On the reverse side of that coin, when I have carried the large knife I prefer to the field it has always came through for me.
There's almost always something I could have used a smaller knife to do better and more efficiently but I got it done with the big knife I had with me.
In other words a Big knife can do anything a little knife can do, but a Little knife Cannot do everything a Big knife can do!!!!!!!
So when it comes down to having a choice always opt for the larger knife, but within reason, or you're liable to be trying to skin a squirrel's head with a GRS!!!!!!!
Not really because the advantage to having a khukuri is that one also has the little knife as well, the best of both worlds IMO!!!!!
Get the 18" WW II by all means!!!!!
Pssst, Hey Jay, Psssst, don't get Uncle Bill started on squirrel heads.
He claims they're one of his favorite foods and that he likes to suck the brains outta fried squirrel heads. I guess it's different strokes for different folks and even if it is an old ndn tradition to like fried squirrel heads some things that are traditional,
should be, are, just better be left alone.
(But I don't think Uncle Bill is eating them properly. I sure haven't told him the proper (traditional) way and don't know that I should. It's pretty gross.
