Well, I own both the CS Trailmaster and the Ontario Helles Belle and my take is just about as the others.
If you are looking for a trail tool, for hacking and chopping, the CS would be better. If you are looking for a modern version of the early fighting bowies, Helles Belle all the way. I tend to like my Helles Belle a lot more because it seems to scream Bowie! But I do not need to use it as a field tool, since I have other items beter suited for those chores. It is owned for the pleasure of having it, and its ability as a fighter. Good luck in your search.
