Haven't used the Woodman's Pal, but it ought to work quite well. I stopped arguing about blade shapes a long time ago; what works for you, works.

One reason I love this little folder is that it is a single bevel edge, so I only have to sharpen one side.

For working with woody plants and digging, one NEEDS a Woodman's Pal, first designed and used by the US Army. http://www.woodmanspal.com/ Made in the USA by people with names like Smith, Johnson and Lopez. Accept no substitutes. Gerry N. A kukri is good for inflicting nasty wounds.
