I tell ya, MP, in my every day life I have no particular use for a knife that I would carry with me, never have. I also do carry a fillet knife when I'm on the water but I would never use it for anything besides filleting.  The only purpose I can conceive of for this new knife, other than to give to someone else as a gift, would be for canoe tripping, either to replace or augment the Russell I already own.
