Big Knives vs Small Knives

[Steve]

I like a small gransfors hatchet, stainless morakniv and a couple of foil wrapped sterile scalpel blades. I used to use a carbon steel mora, but got bored with constantly cleaning it up, the stainless is nearly as sharp. Related, I have a swisscard in my wallet that has various small tools, it has been really useful over the years, particularly the excellent tweezers which have removed more blackthorn splinters than I care to remember.
