Buy an inexpensive mora knife, stainless unless you use it often/take care of it, throw it in your pack along with a lighter. You will thank me, internet person, later.

I have a fellkniven A1, I regret the purchase. Great knife, but at that size, why not have an axe. Learn axecraft and be a happy woodsman.

We can be Bros, extra stout, and can discuss the finer points of axemanship and making a fool of yourself on skis.

I will disagree with you on the plastic axe handles in one instance, a Fiskars splitting maul is surprisingly nice and low maintenance.

Also, learning to sharpen your own knife is easy and makes life better. Something like a hoodoo hone is light weight, cheap, and will save you frustration.

Start with a carbon steel scandi-grind knife and learn the basics, takes 5 minutes.
