I carry a Chris Reeve 4-inch folding Sebenza...

I looked it up and I am not that impressed.

1. Titanium grips sound really cool, but when you are up to your elbows in blood, they are slippery.

2. A gothic arch grind is much more robust than a hollow ground edge.

I have dressed out a few deer and helped with an elk or two. My go-to folder is a Benchmade Griptillian. This is more like the Ford pickup of knives, not the BMW.

But, it has the best grip I have ever found, it opens smoothly enough, and once it has been resharpened a few times I always end up with an arch grind, which holds up to hitting bone a lot better than a hollow grind.

To each his own. As the prophet said, "In Allah's garden there grow may kinds of radishes".

I only have two Chris Reeve knives, the Sebenza, and the second a 7-inch "Yarborough" for the woods. Hard to justify strapping a Yarborough to your leg for grocery shopping.
