Been looking for a while for a quality fixed blade that can be used for backpacking (prepping tinder sort of thing) plus can be used to gut a deer for dragging out, and gutting a trout.

I’ve got a Benchmade puukko I’d let go for $100. Comes with a kydex sheath as well as the factory leather. This knife is 3v steel.

Without having it in hand I think the Spyderco looks great, but I'd want something thicker for wood prep. I know I can sometimes roll an edge or even put small chips in a thin blade. But there are definitely other ways to break or split wood, if you know you're more careful with blades go for it.
My gutting knife is about the same size and shape made from elmax, very happy with it.
