>>959390ESEE 3HM if anything.
Resist the urge to get large knives - they're far less useful, than a more reasonably sized blade.
Esee are indeed very good quality, but you want a knife that's somwhere between 3 inches, and 4.5 inches tops - anything more is going to be too unwieldy.
Some options to consider:
Skookum bush tool
LT Wright genesis
LT Wright Lagom
Esee 3HM (modified handle)
Esee RB3
Helle Temagami
Numerous woodlore variants like this one here:
http://www.tlim.net/602.phpSome general specs:
4'' straight back, drop point, or spear point blade (including kephart).
1/8'' thick
high carbon steel (A2, O1, 3V, 1.2235, 52100, 5160, 1095 or similar)
Simple, comfortable handle with no guard, and no finger grooves, or other "pseudo-ergonomic" features.
If you are comfortable with it, you can go as low as a 3'' blade, and 3/32'' thick.
The only caveat here is that for camping, you might want a 4-5'' blade for slicing food, but you can just get a $10 mora, or an appropriately-sized Opinel for that.
Pic related (2nd from the left) is the general style of knife you want. I could also recomment the jessmuk (great knife), but only if you don't mind spending $235+ (the other options I mentioned will run you anywhere from around 80 bucks, to about 170).
