[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1614302, member: 229"] If you're going to use it like an axe, you might just look at getting an axe or hatchet. No one knife will do everything you mentioned as good as the individual tools that are designed to do those jobs (hammer, axe, machete, large knife, small knife), and more importantly, most of the knives that will do all that won't work well for food and intricate cutting. I have a machete that I take out some times and a camp-axe that I can use for serious chopping or hammering (back side). Outside of that, I'd look at an ESEE 3, 4 (if you really want a beast, get the 5) and just plan on taking a smaller pocket-sized slicer. I end up using my Spyderco Delica or other smaller knives more than anything else when hiking/camping (cutting rope/para-cord, food-prep, intricate cutting of threads in clothing/packs, whittling sticks, bandages/mole-skin, opening packages for food/meds, digging out splinters, etc.) and use the larger knives for bigger jobs and/or self-defense should a wild animal or other threat make it past my side-arm.
