Bad knife for skinning because of the lack of belly to the knife..

For hunting or camping a fixed blade is a better choice.

For skinning, you need a big "belly" on your blade. Plus, even if you had that, good luck cleaning the pivot area without disassembling the knife.

Why would a fixed blade knife necessarily be better for camping? jw

wood carving. It can be messy so the pivot cleaning comment applies. For instance, last time I took my tent out I had forgotten my pegs. It was late and dark so I had to make some and all that was close was green wood.

Shit happens when you're camping.

The lock on a locking knife may occasionally fail, and the pivot can be a major point of weakness on any folder.

This is not a problem with fixed blades, which are generally suited for more hard use than a locking knife.
