Bacpacjac,

It depends on where I am going and under what conditions. For day hiking or where I will depend primarily on a stove, the saw in my SAK is more than enough. If I am going to use a little firewood, I take my Spyderco (like the Laplander or Kershaw discussed above). I use a Sven or Sawvivor for trips where I will want a fire regularly. If I am going to the deep woods, I carry Trailblazer (the big one). Of course there is an axe (also sized to the trip) along too.

Respectfully,

Jerry
