I apologise as I realise this thread must of been done to death by now. Though I am looking for a new knife.
Blade wise I generally carryout most tasks with a axe or hatchet. I only really every use a knife for gutting and filleting fish and wood carving it's very rare I need to skin game. I have always leant toward a skandi grind as I have always been told it's the best for working with wood. Which is the majority of the work.
Now I have been looking at the ESEE 4 with a flat grind as it lends it's self not to be as delicate as a skandi grind but I am rather torn between this or going for a skandi grind knife of a similar price.
