I just picked up a Fremont Farson Blade. Check out the below video. You can either ignore or pay attention to the fact that is is a survival video. I used it to see the usefulness, weight and pack-ability for touring and also my backpacking. While backpacking and bike touring (bike camping) I do take a fixed blade knife and a small folder and find all kind of uses for it. For a few trips I am going to take this Farson blade in addition to my normal knives and see if I can replace anything.
