Big Knives

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

Big Knife is one of the oldest recurring references in the Homestarverse. This inside joke was invented by Strong Bad, who seems to have a particular—albeit unexplained—affinity for it. (Although it's probably due to the knife itself, which is "looking great.") The big knife even appears on the Strongbadia flag.
