Is there still a need for a fixed blade knife in Big Army?
Does anyone in Big Army carry a fixed blade knife and if so what kind(s)?

This thread has evolved around a fixed blade hunting/fighting/Bowie/bayonet style..
Like the others I prefer something like your new Tactical Trout,, BUT there is a need for something a bit bigger..
I carried a WW II folding Machete in Nam,, way to heavy,, but it was convenient to tuck in my ruck. The Plum model 1917 and Ciso Bolo was also popular. Short blade 10" to 15" blade with good weight to whack bamboo and light to moderate chopping.
I think there is still a requirement for something in this class.
Not crew served and not a neck knife.
