I just can't do food prep as easily with a longer blade. Never could. Maybe I sacrifice a tad in other areas but for me the shorter blade just works.
But if I'm camping out of my vehicle I have a whole slew of tools to help me out.
InfiRatweiler.
Granfors Bruk Wildlife Axe
Martindale Golock
Larger Axe I inherited from my Dad
Brush Axe (I have GOT to get y'all a pic of this one)
These are all fun to use. The Kephart? I look at it as a potential lifesaver. I won't be carrying an Axe when I'm on a hike.
Interesting, I'm the opposite. I really like a big knife for food prep and often use the knife life a spatula for moving food around. I do like a low, pointy tip but I can do pretty well with a santoku style kitchen knife too. My main kitchen knife at home is nearly a wharncliffe so something like a big Kephart with a lot of flat edge feels right at home.
