Is there a more useless belt knife than a great honkin' Bowie with a 10" or greater blade?
It's too big for daily chores that require a knife, too big for a camp knife, useless for slicing anything, weighs too much for it's utility and not big enough to clear brush or split firewood. They also make sitting down in some chairs uncomfortable and awkward.
I see a lot of city hunters coming and going at the General Store these days. There are always a few that think it really cool to come into the store wearing a huge belt knife. The locals snicker, most of them wearing folders or "Leatherman" tools on their belts as part of the dress code. They'd no sooner leave the house without one than a hat.
I've got several smaller Bowies, some of them Sheffield blades picked up at swap meets and 'junque' shops. They reside in my hunting pack while my gutting knife is a Gerber folder with a 4" blade. Any more and I get into trouble inside the body cavity of a deer or bear.
