Will if you don't currently have a CT get a Scrapper 6 on the next run, it'll be so much cheaper and it's a great all round carry. It (S6) can certainly be used for building a shelter or chopping wood for fires.. At $90 plus the cost of your prefered sheath nothing else will touch it!!
If you want the last word in economy chopping get a DF when they debut in the next few weeks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
