I'm realistic, cutting brush, wood, flipping burgers, cooking on the blade if you door have a pan, digging if needed, deadman snow anchor in the winter and poking things. A general all around camp tool.
If you cook on your blade, it'll probably not hold an edge until you get it retempered based on the fact it'll 'normalize' the steel by going through slow cooling, essentially turning it into 'slab' steel.
