All valid points. Unfortunately for me I still work in the so called "civilized" world, so while I would like to carry either of my two favorite camp knives, that would be an instant ticket for departure@jscusmcvet I haven't really seen in what capacity you are planning to use this in. Living in the sticks like we do I think yours and mine idea of what a bushcraft knife should be capable of might be different than others. So are you looking for an all purpose Chopper/skinner or more of a chore blade? You know like shaping stakes for trap lines, clearing shooting lanes, chopping the head of turtles kind of steel. The task at hand plays a huge role in the shape (tip/belly/draw) of the blade and the thickness of the spine. I personally do not like folders for the tasks above but like a solid tang straight knife with a thick spine and slightly arched belly profile. Also I like a hammer pommel on a woods knife.
So what I am looking for is a quality folder that can serve many of the duties of a bushcrafting solid blade, but also be carried discretely in a pocket, with just the clip showing.
