What do you call a knife with a 5"-6" blade? I call these a field knife or a hiking knife. It's meant to be a general-purpose sheath knife that you would take into the field or camping/hunting/ or whatever.

This is W-2 blade, 5-1/2" from face of guard to tip and 1-3/16" wide at the heel, with 416 Stainless guard and sub-hilt and stabilized black ash burl handle. 416 SS pin.

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.
