Good on you again Lonewolf!
:shock:
Still yet, I betcha you be able to find a good use for it.
Big, huge, heavy, knives are just that, but they do have a purpose, and when you need that big, heavy, knife, you really need it, and you'll flat-out ruin the smaller knives trying to do the job that the big one will.
My favorite hunting carry knife, and by "carry" I mean carry all the time I'm in the field, only has a 4-3/4" blade and is very useful around camp for simple chores, and even preparing food.
However, in my haversack I also carry a "whopper of a knife" and it's purpose is chopping, cutting kindling for the fire, and breaking down the pelvic of the animal I just shot if I'm going to have to quarter it and pack it out.
The knife is right at 15" in overall length, with a blade length of about 8" it has a 2.5" blade width, and is a full 1/4" thick. weight is 22 oz.....pretty hefty knife.
Getting a bit old for packing out hind quarters any more, but there's times when there's no way I'm going to get it out unless I am the one doing the packin,
Since it's a pretty big knife, I can carry it three ways...on the belt, on a left side shoulder carry, or in my haversack. It's getting a little old but it has held up good, and still holds a razor shape edge.
