    Making your own knife, now that's cool!! But I gotta say that some of you guys make the rest of us feel kinda inadequate at times...

    The 8" is far more useful for everyday chores my friend. No question of it.

    there were too many people there for me to get any help. It's a long drive to not get any guidance. I'd love to go back. Let me know when it clears out.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    It's a good choice for you Mickey.  Not many of us know how to handle something bigger than 8".
