[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 2570271, member: 34065"] For shear weight alone, a Havalon is hard to beat. Problem is they’re either too sharp, too dull, or the blades snap too easy. I carried a Havalon in my kill pack for archery last year and this year. Probably stick to my small fixed blades. I’ve heard mixed reviews on the Altitude. Seemed cool but sounds like a lot are not impressed. For me when I carry fixed blades, I always carry a good steel with me. I like to have 2 or three blades with me to keep them sharp as I go, or if you have multiple people helping on an animal. I’ve become a fan of small knives (1-1/2”-3” blades), It’s amazing how much you can do with a tiny knife. The two I usually reach for to throw in my pack are Bark River knives. I have 4 Bark River knives and are simply awesome. 1 is a Canadian Micro W/ black scales. Scary sharp and a hollow ground blade.

It is a small traditional style point with about a 2-1/2” blade. The Bark River Ringtail looks like a sweet little minimalist style I’ll probably pick up too.
