The "Nessmuk" style blades always seem about right to me. While Dan did a good job on the ScrapMuk I still find myself looking for thinner alternatives that are less expensive. I know some people see the wide/tall blade profile and think "skinning" but in the right hands it makes for several types of tools. I crushed plenty of garlic and cracked a few nuts on the side of my ScrapMuk. Yes, some pecans shot across the room but nobody was injured. And I can't say I would bother to try that with any other 4" or 5" blade that I own. I also found the bumped blade to make for a decent little light hammer. I dont remember what all I've hit with it but again my other knives don't quite offer the option.

I think if I had to be doing bushcraft stuff all day a "nessmuk" style blade would be my choice.
