    @C_Claycomb you are spot on with your assessment - I don’t have experience and therefore don’t know/understand what I want. I may go m4 magnacut and skrama combo.

    I may leave Puukko 200 then, as it's discontinued now and play with handle scales/grind later if needed...

    £250 survival knife...

    I did see this previously, but it's a bit confusing. Corrosion resistance on my newish Surge 420hc should be 8 according to graph, but after light use around house and trip to Spain where salty water wasn't involved I see already rust specs. It's always stored in a pouch and kept dry. Strange...

    @C_Claycomb If chopping would be my only purpose maybe I would get Skrama instead or in addition smaller knife, but I would like to get something that is rather good in all areas instead of brilliant in one and in smaller package. M4 magnacut is a very nice knife, but am I right in saying that...
