#6-4 1/2" for fishing or kitchen chores...or "other". Of course there are more than a few that (allegedly) "cross". For me, a "camp knife" never has a top bevel sharpened. A fighter never does not! Hunting knives, by my true definition, are sporting an "upswept" or a "drop point" blade shape. Also: Trout & Bird models (either one) are a good fishing knives...but not "great ones". That's my personal experience and I've fished a lot...all over the world. Model #10-5" or #10-7" are excellent fishing blades as well. For large freshwater and saltwater varieties of fish the #6-9", carver works well also. I can go on & on but the 4 categories were an example of how we could proceed and nothing's carved in stone... to be continued... Capt. Chris
