Short version: For fixed, get a Mora Companion. For a folder, get something you think looks cool. If you want a recommendation for a good outdoor folder, then I recommend getting both the Buck 110 LT and Opinel 9.
When I was your age, I found a Buck 110 described in a Herter's catalog. I wanted it so much, I got a paper route to earn the money to buy it. In many ways it was too much knife for my early camping/scouting/fishing stuff I was doing and it was years before I could sharpen the 440C but I loved that knife, took it everywhere and I still carry it hunting some 40 years later. My point here is that if you buy any reasonable quality knife that you think "looks cool", there's a chance you'll own it and appreciate it for years regardless of what you want to use it for. In this sense, what looks cool to you might be more important than being used for bushcraft.
This said, the dirty rotten secret of bushcrafting (and hiking) is that inexpensive (but still quality) knives do just fine. These knives are often very uncool looking and are typically not too expensive, but they're rugged, work wood well and are easy to sharpen. Personally, I really like the Mora Companion and recommend it very highly but others to consider are Condor and the new Schrades. You can very easily pay several hundreds of dollars on stunning bushcraft knives with more expensive steels, but I would strongly advocate buying several different knives with at least one being full flat grind and one Scandi grind. Learn to sharpen both and use both for your wood working skills and that way, you'll develop your own preference.
You will note that I've recommended fixed blades, not folders. There's bushcrafting and there's bushcrafting. If all you're going be doing is making feather sticks, shavings for fire and notches in wood, then a folder is fine. But, if you're going to be splitting kindling, you really want a fixed blade, not a folder.
This said, if by "bushcraft" you mean things like scouting, hiking, backpacking and general outdoors use, then a folder is fine. For hiking, I strongly prefer lightweight folders with blades around 3.25 give or take. I'm also less picky about the blade grind but I'm much more instant on a knife handle that will fill my hands and allow me to hold the knife in many different holds. In particular, I strongly dislike the ergonomics of most modern knives (I've tried many) and I strongly prefer more traditional styles like the Buck 110 and the Opinel. IME, the secret to these knives is that the grips are wide (allows for a comfortable strong hold) and lack finger grooves (thus allowing multiple holds).
