So, I grew up the 80's and after seeing the above scene I think it was burned into my growing brain that really big bowie style knives are cool.
Over the years, I have ended up with a bit of a collection of them, Buck 119, Buck 120, several Muela bowies from Spain, a couple big Bear & Sons Bowies, even the "Space Force" Ka-Bar, plus a few swords too.
But when I go hunting/hiking, I usually don't feel like carrying anything bigger/heavier than about a Buck 119 (which has a 6" blade and weighs about a half pound with sheath).
I even sometimes just carry a very lightweight Spyderco folder.
I am curious, do any of you actually carry a really big bowie knife as your hunting knife, something with substantially bigger than a 6" blade?
OR are these bigger heavier blades just too much extra weight and/or too ostentatious to actually carry in the field for you?
