I would be so lost without my EDC knife. When I am out hunting usually have a small pack. That's where the skinning knife goes. And it's a good one so can generally get the job done by itself.

I carry a 4" folding on my belt……but, have a large Buck Sheath knife and a Swiss Army knife in my day pack!
Oh, I failed to answer the purpose part of the question. Answer: to cut things!
Your 12 pound rifle should consider going on a diet! Entirely too much weight for long walks…….unless the terrain is very mild! memtb

A good sharp - small knife on the hip weighs nothing. And so versatile. Boy Scouts 101.
Perhaps, but there is always the opportunity to clarify it.
Why take a knife? I forgot mine and had to field dress a buck with broadhead. That was about 40+ years ago. Yes it was steel not flint. Now I have prob 3 on me hunting. Gerber tool, old Buck fixed blade and buck folding one.

Why did my mind go straight to flint before you clarified? That would be a lesson not soon forgotten.

Or, carry a smaller, lighter knife!
Me? I hate carrying much in my pocket.
My EDC consists of a Benchmade Carbon Fiber Bugout. It weighs nothing and is high quality steel.
About a year ago, I added a Streamlight rechargeable flashlight to my EDC. It's very small and plenty bright, and, it gets used almost as much as a knife.

My Dad gave me my first Case three-blade pocket knife when I was 9 or 10 years old. 50 years later, I've never been without one since. I carry and use a knife every single day. Other than if I happen to be flying, my knife is on my belt every day. Since I wear gloves at work, I needed a knife that could be accessed and opened and closed with one hand and went on the search for one a couple of years ago. I found this one and it is hands-down the most useful knife I've ever owned.

If you have to ask what is the purpose of carrying a knife, you probably shouldn't have one.
