I recently picked up this knife for camping/paddling.
It's a Kershaw American Hunter. Made in USA.
Little longer than a neck knife, more suited to belt wear.
I got it with the Orange G-10 scales figuring it would be easy to spot if dropped.

Comes with real nice fitted black belt sheath but I found a place that makes custom Kydex sheaths for any knife. I carry my knife in my right side cargo pocket of my canoe/camp pants. They offer different mounting options, I'm going with a clip that you could attach/detach to webbing, or in my case, carry the knife with sheath IN pocket, clipped to outside.

Full tang Sandvic steel at 58-60 rc. I got mine from  A. G Russell but you might find it elsewhere or cheaper? Under $40.

I just stab mine into my thigh - handier that way, and I don't have to carry a sheath

;D That's a good one! Must be dicey on your solo elk hunts, all that blood and grizzlies in the bush ;)

Actually with the Kydex sheath, its very safe. I might bruise myself falling on my right side, but unlike a leather sheath, the Kydex won't cut thru. That' why I'm ordering the Kydex sheath and why most combat troops carry their's in Kydex sheaths instead of leather.
