well, the Model 5 Camper/Camp and Trail was primarily sold as a heavy blade general purpose outdoorsman knife, such a knife normal duties being food, game, and fire preparation....longer versions could be called upon for brush/limb clearing of site or blind/hide, or other heavy chores if one was caught accidentally without a good belt axe readily at hand...to those who try to make do without a good little axe/hatchet, only comments being "why?!" and "more power to you"....

.....so, the knife is great on a cutting board, and certainly can be called on to do basic firebuilding chores such as fuzzsticks, shavings, skinning bark, etc....for anyone dying to use one but never has, CLEAN wood will do no harm, nor will CLEAN veggies on a wooden cutting board...skinning dirty bark and whatnot totally different deal, guaranteed to spiderweb blade with uber-fine scratches.

i own quite a few new ones, put away for resale at a later date, but any personal ones get used, although i have no problem seeing keeping a mint specimen to admire and cause regret over the used ones....wink!
