No mention of saucisson in the original brief, that completely changes the game.
What about the Opinel Explore if you can accept the handle design?

What about the Opinel Explore
Nice suggestion. That handle actually looks pretty sensible for use with cold wet hands! Definitely the sort of suggestion I was looking for. Thanks.

There's a half-serrated Opinel #8 if you don't mind using one half of the blade for sausage & clean cuts, and the back half only for emergency hacking:
Stonehedge
useless
Mainly because they tend to come at quite a brand premium and most knives can easily be clipped to a harness if it has an eyelet.
Serrated blades cut rope fractionally faster than non serrated but as a downside, they cause too much fraying to use on cutting rope and cord in a non emergency situation. IMHO, for my uses, I'm happy to lose a little speed of cutting (and it really is a few tenths of a second) if it means that I can also slice cord/rope safely and not tear up my saucisson.
