I’m looking for a general-purpose hunting, camping knife. It needs to meet all the following requirements. The idea shape would be a clip or drop point, full flat grind, full tang, and have a synthetic handle. The blade needs be 4”-5” in length and be made from some type of carbon steel. No coating on the blade, the knife needs to have a satin finish. No convex grinds, no scandi grind, I want to use a spyderco 204 sharpmaker to sharpen it. Any idea as to what fits the bill? I’m not looking for a debate; just want to know what is available.

Thanks in advance.
 
Trekker, how much are you wanting to spend on this knife? From what you have said, a Bob Dozier Master Skinner would work great. However there is a 10-12 month wait and they are about $225. Tops has some very good knives made out of 1095 that are reasonable, and the Randall Adventure Training "TAK" is a great knife made out of D2. :)
 
I'll second the Grohmann. The model 1 flad grind is a nice, compact slicing knife. Take a look at the model 4 as well; it's larger, still a great slicer, but better suited to other tasks that might crop up around the campsite.
