I considered getting that Bowie style. It makes a little better spear, you could put a back edge on it if you want, and it is a little heavier for chopping.
That wider blade also makes a better shovel or paddle...
Was thinking about adding a gut hook.
That shaft is too thin. You want a sturdy shaft. At least 1 1/4” diameter, preferably 1 1/2 or 2”. Whittle the end down to make it fit.
