Big Knives vs Small Knives

[Scythe13]

Just a quick question really. I'm hoping it will develop into a deeper discussion.

I'm looking more towards fixed blade knives, and large ones at that. Not because I'm a knife guy. I'm really not set just on knives as a survival blade (still testing out my first tomahawk...all weather testing is required) but the more I think about safety and versatility, the more I lean towards fixed blades.

The same goes for the size of the blade. I'm not looking at defence, more for outdoors camping and survival skills (think bushcraft style) use.

Would love to get some other people's thoughts and ideas on these kinds of knives.

For me, a large knife is different from a machete. Think blade lengths 20cm-30cm long.

Got a Cold Steel TrailMaster Bowie on order. When it's here, I'll do a full review for everyone.
