I have had both the Muppy and the SS4 as a hard used modded not worth half of what it would have been knife. The Muppy can do everything the SS4 can other than being easy to sharpen.Put a decent thinner edge on your muppy and have a sheath with a diamond EZ-LAP on the sheath instead of a firesteel to keep it touched up and you have a fantastic bushcraft knife. A Muppy will actually fit in a fitted kydex SS4 sheath it is so close.

My Ss4 has no coating and a very thin zero edge(no secondary edge like a skandi)
and the same thing would work very very well with the muppy. The 154 steel can be run very thin safely.

The BAD's look like decent bushcrat knives.

I bought a SAR5 as one but it was to heavy. A anorexic Sar5 would rule though.

I don't like the big choil but my Desert Jack would make a very capable knife.

Don't discount the DFLE and Steel heart. Both of mine make great hard use choppers. The DFLE is also very light for the amount of blade.
