>>683996Ran out of text, also bear your sharpening ability and ease of sharpening of whatever knife you buy. Recurves can be tricky, equally long edges can be tougher. VG10 is an okay stainless to sharpen (not as bad as CMP3V and all those super tough steels) but it's no where near as easy to put a razor edge on it as a simple carbon steel like O1.
BTW pics related is what I'd consider perfect bush knives. I believe in the right tool for the job so a <4'' knife coupled with saw, axe and/or machete is the way to go IMO.
