Unlike Unsub and pitman, I usually prefer a folder to a small fixed blade. The HC, MP, Fallkniven F1, and Bayley BG are my smallest. I think I would like the 4" HC even better than this one, but I just don't like little knives enough to bother getting another one. For my actual real world uses, I have found that all I need is a folder (any of them) and a machete. I don't split logs that often, but that monster FFBM can handle that. As small fixed blades go, this little HCLE is among my nicest. It is quite handy and with the kydex, easy to carry.
