as always I'm finalizing my trio setup....Always with me is my vic sak....(freaking awesome) another typically fixed part of my set up is a 12 inch ontario machete.... together this could handle just about anything (if I can't make that work I should pack it up and go home)...but food prep/game cleaning and misc cutting I thought a small - med fixed blade would be usefull . just because getting the workings of my folder all goobered up sucks and there's alot of places in a sak for gunk to hide.... I've narrowed it down to the ag russell woods walker or a frosts stainless mora clipper ... I have several of each knife As I think they are both great for the value and have alot to offer,,,The woodswalker is light, and thin (like a paring knife and would I feel lend itself to game and fish cleaning and might allow for some more detailed woodworking...and is razor sharp....but it is thin and flexible and seems "more fragile than" others....it is also easy to stow on your person without attracting to much attention (and even if it does it's so small no-one cares) the mora is proven...it is stockier and longer (probably more durable) and my understanding is that the scandi grind is easier to sharpen... the grips on both are comfortable and the spines of both do well with a ferro rod....the blade of the woodswalker is similar in length and thickness to the main blade of a standard SAK but it has a bigger belly...now I'm starting to ramble....well just wanted to get some opinions thanks
 
I'd say the WW but that's because I've no experience with the Mora. If you carry a larger fixed blade, I wouldn't see a reason for the Mora. The WW can do everything the Mora can, I speculate of course, so I wouldn't see a reason for a medium fixed blade. I'd say try the smaller one first with a larger fixed blade on standby and see if it works for you with the WW and an SAK.
 
I love my Mora, so I would have to vote for that, however, I have never even felt a WW in person, so it is your call.
 
If the Woodswalker blade is similar in size and thickness to the SAK, then it would be redundant. I'd go with the Mora for the woods. . .

. . . unless you get that Mini Canadian you were considering.:cool:
 
I would take the mora,the ww is a great little knife but for me the sak serves it's purposes and more.

A mora makes beutifull fuzzsticks,and is good for cleaning game etc.And going with the stainless mora it is easy to keep clean and is maintnence free,I just sharpen mine once or twice a mounth.:thumbup:
