I feel like larger blades are somewhat under-appreciated. Sure they’re a bit more to carry, but they can do some things smaller blades can’t. Other tasks that might be possible with a smaller blade are completed more cleanly and efficiently with a blade that is just a bit bigger.
So, the challenge is this: For the month of June, carry and use only a knife or knives that have a minimum 4” blade length. Fixed or folding, traditional or modern, all are welcome.
Of course, no one should risk legal trouble or their job, so if the only place you can carry and use a knife this size is your own home/yard, it would still be great to have you participate.
Use the AKTI Protocol for Measuring Blade Length (link below) to determine whether a given knife meets the minimum 4” blade requirement.
https://www.akti.org/resources/akti-protocol-for-measuring-knife-blade-length/All the other usual challenge rules apply. (If anyone is new to the forum and or new to challenges here and would like a full explanation, just ask.)
If you want to participate but don’t have a knife that qualifies, there are serviceable options out there for under $30, under $20, and even under $10, and of course you would have until June 1st to acquire one.
If there is sufficient interest, I’ll ask the mods to add this to the official challenge list and see about a badge.
