Should have had that when my oldest boy was growing up...
Some folks may see a 4.5' blade as being something less than a working knife, but not me.
For years and years I carried a knife that was simply too big to be practical.
If it had a 10 or 12" blade, heavy enough to make you walk sideways, and hung down to my knees, I had to have it!
It had my name all over it, and I didn't rest until I either got one like it, or satisfied my thinking that no bear was going to attack me at night, and Sir Arthur was not in need of someone to fill a place at the Round Table....still yet, it was a lovely journey and I enjoyed it for many years.
I still like big knifes, but my heart for the past 30 or so years is really in those knives quite similar to this one. I can not envision any job requiring a knife that that one couldn't do...except perhaps some chopping chores, but that's a whole 'nother ball game.
Great job....per usual.
