Good to see you finally got around to these! I have been eyeballing a thor and idun combo for some time, and since I am selling off everything I own to travel, maybe now is the time!
Yes, that Thor NL1 is a big one, but actually none of them feel 'too big' in your hand~I think because the balance is good. But thats a heafty piece of steel!!!!
Actually, the 10" blade has a lot of uses. When It comes to wood prep, a large blade can be your best friend when an axe is too heavy to carry in the bush day in and day out. I always carry a 10" and a 4" blade when I am out, plus a few others just for fun.
@Quoiyaien > I totally agree there " Quoiyaien " a knife that big could do a lot of taskes in the Bush. But you would never catch me in the woods without my Axe, lol. A knife can not cut down a Tree, no matter how big it is. Handles are always way to short to get any leverage. Saplings, i agree a big knife could do with building shelter's. But here in British Columbia Canada, you must carry an axe, a premium Axe that is. But i must say i would still like to have that NL1, a beauty !
@66yurt Ah, your in BC too eh? Nice area I must say : )
Re. the axe, couldn't agree more. I actually picked up one of those Bark River Modified Wetterlings and it is just amazing! My current woods rig is a Fehrman Hoodhunter, Fehrman Peacemaker, Silky Zubat (from Paul) and the axe. Haven't run into any difficulties with that setup... IMO a saw is the most undercarried piece of kit.

Gets a bit addictive buying these knives!. The 3 is a good one, the 4 too, but not much different to your 4.
