6HM Modern Take on a Trade Knife
The 6HM is what I look at as a good all around knife. Not too small and not overly large. I've used mine mostly outdoors in the backcountry and done everything from processing small logs down into useable fire wood to carving notches into sticks for pot hangers and the like. It's not overly thick or heavy, but has done all the tasks I've given it well. Not the biggest fan of the coating on the blade, but this could be removed if desired. To me it feels like a modern take on the historical French and English trade knives. The 6HM is definitely a solid knife to take with you out in the bush, and in my mind could easily fit into the "one tool option" category if that's what you're looking for.
