It'll do just fine on big game. I watched an Idaho Wildlife officer field dress, cape and quarter a mature elk cow in the snow with his Wave. I didn't see where he was at any disadvantage compared to what I'd do with my "hunting" knife. If you know what you are doing, something sharp is all you need, and a big blade is actually a handicap most of the time. He did it all by himself too. Last time I field dressed a spike elk, I had two people helping me, and it took just about as long.

After all, you don't see or hear of many doctors these days performing surgery or coroners doing an autopsy with an 8" bowie or tanto blade.
