When camping or out in the "bush" I've tried the larger blades for basic tasks and for me it is a bit cumbersome. Smaller blades are less tiring and allow for the job to be finished quicker making the experience that much better. Also, blades with serrations are okay when cutting through fibrous or tough material but for basic skinning/cooking tasks a clean edge like the one on the Muk is ideal.

Who here hasn't been on kitchen duty and when someone asks "Who has a knife?" hesitates because either the one you have is too big and mean or more of a looker and not a user. Thanks to MC and some of the other guys I got hooked up with the Mora's and I was well pleased with my purchase. Still, the desire for a really solid camp knife was begging for a Muk and I would have gone Koster but the Yard has done me one better.
