So I have managed to get by with just these two knives/tools since I started this challenge. Even going on a hike, i resisted the urge to carry something larger (because I knew I really wouldn't need it). The Hera does about 90% of the cutting chores. The Charge usually is used when I am either using the tool for something and need a blade to strip a wire or something or I want to use the serrated blade for fibrous material. I think the Hera gets the nod so often because I have really grown to appreciate the bayonet grind on such a small knife. It's counterintuitive, but it actually works better on a smaller knife. The jimping gives me a place to choke up on the blade, obviously. Also, I have kept the "false" edge (though it is fully sharpened) a bit toothier and robust. The primary edge is polished smooth. Having that little hard use edge saves the "good" edge for cutting finer things. Being so close to my hand makes for some really precise cuts.
I forgot about what I carry in my boot... yep. Under 3"
