My wife and I both carry these as lightweight fixed blades in our day hike bags. I've batoned reasonably thick wood with them with no problem, and as many others on here have mentioned cleaned deer and small game with them. They take a good edge, hold it through quite a bit of work, and are pretty rust resistant. They are cheap enough (even at the regular price) to stash in vehicles and various emergency kits.
I've got "nicer" knives, but only because I'm a nerd. If these were the only fixed blades I owned, I would not feel impoverished.
