I have to second this. Since you stated that you are looking for a large blade, Busse's are pretty much tops on my list. But they are spendy.

The CS Trailmaster has served me well also, if you don't want to spend as much.

well here's mine cold steel trial master. cold steel shovel. leaterman. and a small spydco .some time I'll take A cold steel SRK instean of the trial master but the shovel is alway with me

I have a custom made one, that I recently had shipped to me. A bright orange handle. I havent field tested it yet, but plan to, maybe even this weekend. That said, it is a fairly small fixed blade, made with tool steel. The bright orange handle kinda threw me off at first, but it slowly grew on me. The sheath I had made allows horizontal carry-something I like, particularly when kayaking. I really look forward to abusing this blade soon, just to see how it handles. I will post pics perhaps this weekend.

I like my CS SRK for outdoor work. i'd like to add a Trailhawk but i'm flat broke at the moment.
