Cheapest combo to cover all your knife needs? More suggestions is welcome

[The Zieg]

I met a guy who haves just three very affordable blades:

Glock 81
Mora 511
Schrade SCHF57


Glock is his garage/forest knife, Mora is his garage/garden knife, and that Schrade is his EDC.
Glock is around 30
Mora is around 10€
Schrade is around 20€

He covered it all with just around 50-60€, all three of his knives have seen plenty of use in last few years (schratches, worn out coatings, patina and so on...).

What's your ideal cheap combo?

There are people out there who don't want to spend too much, or are just poor and can't afford to spend more on a knife, and yet they need a good quality yet affordable tool.
I mean, if this thread can save at least one person from buying gas station junk - I'll be more than happy.
Let's try to do our best to help all those who want or need a good quality blade, but can't afford to spend a lot.

All the Mora, Opinel, and cheap chopper solutions fit me well, too. I've posted many pics on BF of my Moras and Opinels indicating that whilst I have many others to choose from, I still come back to them every week for real world tasks, both robust and delicate, outdoors and indoors.

The Moras I use most are a 911 Quicksnap that I rehandled after the dog chewed up the rubber and plastic and a black 510 in its original plastic sheath. (Used to be a Robust Pro, but that went to the nephew who needed a knife.) The Opinel of choice is almost always a N°10 in a pocket clip sheath. Chopper or "big knife" is a bit squishier for me. If it must be a knife, on the cheap it will be a 3mm thick Cold Steel machete. For an axe or hatchet, it will be either a Cold Steel tomahawk, Fiskars hatchet, or hardware store axe. Sure, all of these will require some tweaking or customizing to run the way I like them, but I do that with all my tools.

Finally, all the above are in carbon, non-stainless steels. I have much better success sharpening non-stainless alloys. (If I were to change any of the above, it would be to insert a Victorinox or a pliers-based multitool for extra versatility, and that means some stainless there.)

Check back later for possible pics of this trio.

Swiss Army Explorer, Buck 110 folder and MAYBE a Gerber Multi-function tool (but the Gerber is optional).

I've got them all and I think I could survive a long time in the "wild" only w/the Explorer and 110 provided that I had I proper clothing. shelter and a source of water and the means to forage, trap, kill the food that I need to survive.

These cost a total of $50 when I purchased them. Victorinox Farmer and Mora Companion.

My budget but still reliable setup would be:

Kershaw Camp 10
A Mora of the user’s choice (Companion, Robust, etc.)
Spyderco Resilience
A decent kitchen knife

There are nicer knives in the collection, but the above mentioned definitely fulfill my needs just fine.

Mora Garberg
Victorinox Hiker (maybe Fieldmaster)

With the above pairing, the only problem that I see would be filleting a fish. Even the Mora Companion isn't great at that, and the Garberg is quite thick. Other than that, those two are quite useful in many, many situations.

I might swap the Garberg for a hatchet + Mora Companion, but that might get expensive.
