I use a knife very little when backpacking my tiny Gerber has got me through every trip . But i could use something that held a better edge - or i could be more mindful of not abusing the edge .
Sort of a contradiction! If you use it so little why isn't it holding an edge? That little of abuse should be no problem.
Three inch blade has done the job for me no problem. When I am burning wood I carry a Silky Zubat. Light and small enough and can cut anything I need cutting.
