Cheap Knife vs Expensive Custom

[Steve]

I like the Frosts Mora, it's cheap, sharp and strong enough. If you need more chopping power then a Gransfors hatchet is excellent and will actually take an edge close to a good knife, you can use the back as a makeshift hammer, although they say you shouldn't.

I reckon a smallish knife and a quality hatchet are better than trying to use one big knife for both.
