This thread is partly in response to Pitdogs of today. Just to sir up a little size envy and because after handling a battle mistress today I became intrigued.
What I wanted to do is provide a list, of what is available for current production (customs too) in the BIG BAD chopper knife selection. Okay - we can do Kuk's too! But this is really a knife thread!
So specifications: 8" - 10" blade. 3/16" or thicker. Big, bad, chop-o-luscious knives.

2) Scrapyard dogfather (still made?)
3) Ranger RD-9 (Available via Ontario/Ranger Partnership)
4) Ontario RTAK II
5) Marbles trailmaker
6) Fallkniven A2, Odin, Thor
7) Kabar Large Heavy Bowie
9) Ontario SP5, SP6, SP10
10) Cold Steel Trailmaster
11) Browning Crowell/Barker Competition
12) Fehrman Final Judgement & Extreme Final Judgement
13) SwampRat Knives Chopweiler & Ratmastiff
14) Himalayan Imports: Kukri's Kumar Karda, Chitlangi Bowie, Cherokee Rose Bowie, AK Bowie
15) Becker BK9; Becker Brute BK1; Becker Machex, BK7 (Not available now but perhaps in future via Kabar?)
