Poll : Big or small ?

[AllenETreat]

I know I'm gonna get "tecnicians" here with

"well what's the Calypso classed as"



Big - blade length 2 3/4" - 4"



Small - 1 3/4 - 2 1/2



I'll take my prejudiced "small" - as the SE

Cricket & other's of it's ilk ( MeerKat, etc ) Fit that "street legal" definition, cut almost as good as a larger size, and usually don't cost over $50.

“Pole”, huh?

Agreed...

Mind, since the shortest distance between 2 points is a STRAIGHT line, a "reverse 'S'" or curvy blade, like the SPOT or Cricket, fits more cutting edge into a shorter blade...as does a serrated blade...so a short serrated and/or curvy blade can actually be more cutting edge than a long plain blade.

My favourite Spyderco is the SPOT, with its 35 mm blade.

-I'M- not trying to compensate for anything...still have my eye on a serrated Temperance, though.

[CKE]

Both...just to be difficult<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> One big and one small so everything is covered. Take Care!!!

I prefer Spyderco's small knives like the Navigator and the Mouse.

Bigger is better. Here big means anything over 3,5&quot;. Doesn't mean small isn't good but big is better 95% of the time.

Welcome back Allen. Why did it take you sooo damn long? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Speaking for my part, though I'm into small knifes, I oftenly find the need for a bigger one for my cutting chores. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I have a couple chainsaws. I want a 6.5&quot; serrated Police Model.

[Tbirdjoe]

Small, if I need anything that requires a blade of &gt;3&quot;, I usuually go with a fixed blade.

Medium <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. Doesn't get better than the Lil'T. Squeezes the last fraction of an inch of usable length out of a 3 in blade

[thombrogan]

I prefer Spyderco. I don't care if it's my Meerkat or my Perrin Bowie, it'll do.
