Hi Acors,
I usually carry two knives, one in bag for gutting fish, short blade, and a small dive knife. That one has a rounded tip that isn't too sharp with a good cutting edge.
They're both in the bag once I'm on land as the police get antsy seeing them as the dive knife exceeds the legal limit on blade size here, 4" with a point.
