The SAR4 just looks like it might be a good all around hunting blade. I have a little knife that looks like the miniNorthdar with a guard that is great for most of the cleaning duties, great for boneing, but too fragile to pound though the pelvis.

The GW was great for everything but didn't have enough handle to really latch onto when cutting through the ribs/sternum. There was that snagging choil issue too. Also, even though it worked a little more blade length would have made things easier.

I'm just trying to not have to bring three knives into the field with me.
