>>210707>blade way too thickI see no problem with the thickness provided it is robust. EOD even lightens the weight.
>stupid guard is in the way all the timeThe guards this size aren't to difficult to maneuver around, (and would make very good anchor points for a spear). Also see image.
>hole in blade gets dirty all the timeCleaning the hole really doesn't seem like a huge deal. I'd keep a small cloth on the sheath.
>useless secondary edgeThe secondary edge is actually good for ripping, sawing, and chopping believe it or not.
>too big for any kind of food prepC'mon man, there is no way you can say you cannot prep a fish with this knife (unless pike then yes, its hard), provided you have sufficient skill. I have skinned rabbits with knives larger and bulkier than this, and I'm sure larger animals would not be much worse. I'd prefer a filet knife and a hunting knife, but you can't necessarily get what you want if all you're carrying is your daypack and you get stranded. Also I carry a leatherman at almost all times, so that covers small finer work.
