Right, understood....I'm just speaking about "field work" as well. Gutting, Skinning, and Meat Retrieval.
Maybe I'm spoiled with my Gene Ingram's. DT, have you ever tried a thin, 3-3.5" blade? FFG?
An RMD would seem like a BEAST for me to work with...
The beauty of a 5" blade is in how fast it skins and--in the case of the RMD and the WD--how easily it takes apart joints. I've used 3-3.5" blades. Used to be all I used. Now I have a hard time with anything under 4". who knows how I'll feel in another few years though
