I used to carry a SAK (camper's model with saw) every day. Almost every day I found a use for it. When hiking/camping I carried a SAK and a Russel Belt-Knife.

Now, I would carry the SAK and a Marble's "Trout and Bird" knife. The trout and bird in carbon steel will take a superb edge, hangs around your neck when not in use, is very light weight, and has no crannies to trap dirt - so you can use the same knife for cooking and all other uses.

Here is a photo of the Marble -- http://www.marblesoutletstore.com/ProdDetails.asp?IID=102

BTW, Jim Bureau, who owns the Marble's store above, is a great guy and superb cane rodmaker.
