A big-type knife is better than a small-type knife.

Big Knife is one of the oldest recurring references in the Homestar universe. This inside joke's featured appearance was in the email i love you, although it appeared earlier in the Theme Song Video. Strong Bad seems to have a particular—albeit unexplained—affinity for it. The big knife appears on the Strong Badia flag, among many other places.
