I just read a really good article on the Becker BK 9. I have both large survival knives and smaller more compact fixed blades as well. Large survival knives are always the best survival knife for chopping and battoning wood but sometimes they are impractical to carry. Here is an exerpt from a great article.
Why Choose a Large Survival Knife?
Some people like carrying a large survival knife and some people don't. It is purely personal preference. I for one would rather be stuck in the wilderness with a large survival knife and have to carry the extra weight of it, than have a knife that is easy to carry however cannot handle the heavy-duty cutting chores like the BK9 can.
This knife is phenomenal for large chopping and cutting chores. The 1060 Carbon Steel blade keeps a strong edge and is easy to sharpen. When I carry this knife with me camping I never have to bring a hatchet with me because the BK9 does equally as good or better than any field hatchet that I have split with. Having a large knife like this actually allows you to carry less gear and therefore less weight.
The Ka-Bar Becker BK9 is super impressive and you will see this in the arsenal of the most experienced outdoor survivalist.
