Hmmm, This is getting interesting. Getting back to the rifles, How is the recoil of a 45-70? and the muzzle blast? I know I won't hear it when I need it but just to know it's nice. Something else to think about, how big of a knife would you need to gut and quarter a big game animal like an elk or griz? Would it be any bigger than a whitail knife?
