A very expensive knife is worthless if your not comfortable using it. Size and design is useless in the wrong hands.
As a long time cook and survivalist I’ve seen people do amazing things with the right blade. Huge hulking men with pairing knives doing huge cuts and little itty bitty women using clevers to perform surgery.
Get what your comfortable with.

Mora knives are for Bush craft… great blades. Cold steel or an Esee 5 ate more for survival. The length and thickness, and the tip pie of steel on those bigger knives make them better for survival due to their edge retention, flexibility and durability.
