What do you want to cut?

Green wood?
Dry hard wood?
Meat & bone?

For each there would be a different answer. If you want to have one in your pack that will do all of the tasks quite well, I prefer the Bahco Laplander.

In picking a folder, the ruggedness of the hinge is my biggest concern.

The lanyard hole and a 550 cord to your pack is probably the absolute most important accessory.
