Dave Canterbury on Cutting Tool Choice
Good video from Dave, talking about "one tool" option knives and the commonality of multiple tool sets throughout history. Basically, big tough "one tool" knives are a compromise--they're not an axe and not as good for finer wood work as a dedicate carver/slicer or a skinner.
I've been leaning more this way--different blades for different tasks. I think we too often look for the one tool that will do it all, and end up with compromised performance.
