A small hatchet for example would be far more preferable than a big heavy knife for processing wood to make a fire.....
In your case, not for others. And who says the knife has to be big and heavy?
Space was limited on a camping trip where I flew out and spent the time sleeping in a small camper van staying at various state and national parks, buying their firewood that everyone is familiar with. No sticks to be found on the ground either as peak season has a million campers picking them up each day. This one tool did all the work I needed for the week, knife stuff and splitting down wood for kindling, no small hatchet was needed so I could leave a 2nd tool at home.
The knife is designed to do this specific job and it worked just fine with no more effort than I would have used by setting a small axe head on the log and using another piece of wood to baton it
