Honu
lost on the mainland
I used to use a opinel as a small personal knife cheap but nice 
awesome for dinner use etc... and small things
Ironic I have a Mora I got from my grandfather in perfect shape still I have had it about 45 years now
just like this one

don't use it much since it was a gift not sure when he got it exactly but neat knife
my main large camp knife is a blackjack 1-7 about 30 plus years old amazing knife holds an amazing edge and has been all over the world with me they used to be reasonable price I
and then something like the opel to go along with it but the blackjack is not even something I wear really ? more just with me and pulled out if needed when I lived in the islands I used it more since I would often have little on me and open coconuts it was great and things like that otherwise a machete is better suited to chop things but around here never even pull it out most trips ? but nice to have in case
otherwise I use a regular pocket knife the most my daily cary I pretty much grab every day is a Walter Brend 600 folder works for everything cut steaks to hot dog stick making
I just don't use larger knives much anymore
bought enough nice knifes in my younger times never had to replace them yet
some really nice knives these days but I still like nice but reasonable for the most part
almost all my purchases have increased in value by buying decent knives
cheap knives like the new mora or opinel etc..... are great but are throw away at some point but at often around $20 up or down they are the most used in some ways
otherwise spend a bit and you will do OK in long term
IMHO have both cheap and nice
when you get into the high end the nice thing is you can use them and often get more than you paid if you buy well
