what would be your EDC? I'm talking about for field dressing large and small game, butchering and just the knife you always had on you.
I believe mine would be my new ESEE semi serrated 4.

(No batoners please, thats what an ax is for)

he distinctly said "no batonning" can't tell me that you'd would be able to live alone in the middle of nowhere with only one woman as your companion without hitting her over the head at some point in time.

oh, and I recon one of those fiddleback bushcraft knives would do the trick for everyday living.
 
I generally prefer the female be the one doing the hitting, but the point is made either way, I suppose.
 
I spent a couple weeks in the bush in the Yukon Territory last summer. My EDC was my buck 124. Maybe a bit large, but it was also my last resort knife...
 
The Indians will use whatever they have on them and not give it a second thought.

Thats a good looking knife. Once you upgrade the handles for the ESEE it's almost a wash plus it comes with a high saber grind and stonewashed.

Not really even on the same planet performance wise for what YOU want the knife for.

If you are talking about butchering you would have a very dull knife in a real hurry especially on large game with that 1095 unless you plan on sharpening a lot during the butchering etc.

1095 vs CPM 20CV, that's not even a contest when talking about edge retention and CPM 20CV is stainless.

Frankly I don't see any point to carrying a fixed blade if batoning is off the table. I read an article from Tactical magazine a few years ago about a surveyor in Canada who would spend months in the bush. He carried an Estwing axe, a SAK(I wanna say rucksack but can't remember) and a Buck 110. If you're carrying an axe, you really don't need a fixed blade IMO.

A small fixed blade would be fine and easier to keep clean. :)
