I should have known Ford thrust a sword into something. But Ger, I can appreciate the dissertation on the Hirschfaenger or ornamental blade & but when one is in pursuit of wild game & it is thick bush that would make Cambodia look like Kansas. It matters not which blade I pull from my kit, when the gundogs tie up w/ bobcat, badger, feline, raccoon, etc. & even the Opossum, as long as it be a Puma, etc. to dispatch the issue @ the moment. I fancy the jadgnicker but any long blade would suffice in close quarters. And then there's occasional auto-deer collision where like a group of Coonasses we quickly neutralize & salvage what we can for dinner. This requires a couple of pieces of sharp cold steel.

Cheers,
