If you like the feel of the Master Hunter, by all means, carry it. That alone justifies the weight. If you don't like how your Necker feels in your hand, that's an equally valid reason to sideline it, or at least religate it to "in town" use.

Remember, you're gear is for YOU. Use what you like.

And I third the motion on a folding saw. Batoning is a technique of last resort, IMHO. The Vic saw is good, but only for fine work like shelter building. If you need to make firewood managable, it's a bad joke.
