That is why I have an OSK-1 model on order from Charlie May in Mississippi, he is a friend of Gene Ingram's there and the custom "Lite Combo" hunting knives I had Gene make me are the finest knives I have ever owned/used and that is a bunch.

A GOOD medium fixed blade knife is probably the single most versatile tool you can take backpacking, far more useful than a gun and much more portable than an axe.

Sometimes, doing without a tool to save weight is actually counter-productive, although "fighters", "Bowies" and SURVIVAL knives in tricky synthetic sheaths affixed to the offside pack strap, upside down of course, for that "tactical" draw, always make me snort.......
