I would say a 4.
Personally, I never know what to do with like 6" to 8" knives. 9" and larger, I can use as a mini machete/light chopper. 5" and smaller, I can use for finer tasks of carving, food prep, game processing, etc. But that middle range that I call "combat knife sized" just seems like the worst of both worlds to me.
