Alan,
I am working on a "way-cool" project right now that will involve a #3-6" & a #4-6"..."BOTH" with # 6 grinds and custom hi-ride sheaths! 7" is too long for any practical hunting use, as I have experienced, with the exception of partially half-ass efficient at butchering and processing meat.
6" on the other hand, different story..."BUT"...traditional RMK (& other) sheaths make them cumbersome to carry in the field and in any vehicle....I'm working on it!
...to be continued...
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
