I've got a hunters element pocket knife, its about a 3 or 4 inch blade. Had it for over a year and no real signs of wear. Holds it's edge pretty well considering how many times I've accidentally hit bone when butchering. I recently got a set of butchery knives and took them out to cut up goats. Pocket knives don't even come close to how well a proper butchery knife glides around joins and all that IMO. Hunters Element knives are pretty good fat solid blades.
