My preference is a small blade and big handle, and is easy to sharpen. A 1 inch blade is great for carving. Of course, have a little bigger blade comes in handy for other things as well. I wouldn't go over 4 inches. I would recommend a small bladed (around 2-4 inch) Mora.


Again, just my preference. I am sure others have different views.
