An aside: Do you guys really carry those large knives? Are they uncomfortable? Full disclosure: my edc knife is a 2-3 inch folder that gets used often, but most commonly to open packages.


I don't carry a big knife on me every day, but I often do, if I'm hunting, fishing or working on my property. I always have one handy in my truck.

The knives I posted earlier are a couple my brother and I sold to people that fully plan to use them. We have sold a good many over the years, so I guess a "Stabby cutty" knife is a popular thing to have handy.

I have carried this 6" pilots survival knife from Camillus off and on for 30 years. It is handy and fairly easy to sharpen and while I don't field dress much game with it, it has done the job in the past. I do know that it will go all the way to the bottom of a jar of peanut butter. The saw teeth aren't very useful to me, but the knife was made for a different purpose than I use it.

Lately, I have switched off to this 6" hunter that I have pretty much within reach every day. I like the size and I guess a fair comparison would be to a 6" K-bar. I just wanted one that had a little better steel and a stag handle. I also wanted one that had a more "sporting" look but retained the "Stabby, Cutty" functionality of a large knife. It does this very well.
