At this point I'm leaning towards the Marksman. Even though the Code 4 seems awesome after rethinking things and reading the comments you guys left I have decided that it might just be better for me to use a fixed blade for jobs where a lot of extra meat is needed. I also think that the Marksman looks a little less 'scary' and less overkill as a EDC, even for camping. At the beginning I thought I wanted a knife like the Code 4 but after some thought I think I may want something less beefy with a smooth opening mech. Still not going to buy the knife yet though, so keep leaving recommendations Thanks again!
