I think too many people buy into the "One big Blade" mentality, and then later find that it's just not as "useful" as a smaller blade, and another tool or two.
When I am in the woods on purpose I carry 2 tools most of the time. A Fixed blade knife, either my BHK Woodsman pro, 4" blade 5/32" thick. Or my Cheap Mora High-Q. I also carry a Baco Laplander folding saw.
The Baco saw weighs nothing, the Mora weighs nothing, so why not throw them in the bag??? If it's not hunting season my good fixed blade may stay at home, and I'll carry the other two plus maybe my small forrest axe, or even a leatherman Wave. Just depends on what I am doing.
I'd take a pocket knife and my Baco folding saw over a Huge "Survival" knife everyday. JMO
opps in my rant I forgot to anwser your question about the blade type. yeah I like drop point blades myself, just a good all around shape.
