I don't understand why some would bring a little knife when weight isn't an issue. They won't be hiking far. Possibly bragging rights if they win. Also wonder why someone would being a shovel? Looking forward to the show
Because a small knife simply works better for the majority of tasks you actually need a knife for. The only benefit of a large knife is to passably perform the tasks that another tool does much better. And in this case most have axes and saws.
Otherwise the benefit only comes in that one is used to the big knife. And there are cultural reasons for people liking big knives.
I don't understand why anyone would bring a big knife unless they also had a small knife.
