Big Knives

From Homestar Runner Wiki

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

Big Knife is one of the oldest reoccurring references in the Homestarverse, dating all the way back to email number nine. This knifely 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.
