Apologies for the delayed response, buddy! I meant, "When you get tired of this one [knife], just let me know
But after hearing your story, I'm not sure if I'll be a fan of the scent it carries!
Seriously, major props for what you're doing out there! I hope you still manage to find some time to soak in the mountains and enjoy those last warm days...
By the way, how's the M4 holding up with all that IWB?
Ah, I see...

Sorry, but I don´t think I´ll ever get tired of the Goddard. Absolutely love it!
If I totally had to decide for "only one" it would still be the Endura - but the Goddard comes really close. In the way it carries (really thin and light in pocket) it even "beats" the Endura.
For me the Goddards M4 generally is even better than I expected, especially in edge retention.
And no rust problems whatsoever, despite as you say a lot of iwb carry. But then it is coated, right?
And I am cutting stuff frequently enough that there is not a lot of chance rust could build up on the actual edge.
