This is my favorite combo based on spending a lot of time with it in the woods of Northeastern Ohio during the late fall, winter and early spring.
The kuhkuri does all the chopping I'll need, can split and baton larger pieces of wood than a hatchet, can be used to cut a wider variety of things than a hatchet etc. Very tough and durable. Great for getting to dry wood in the rain or snow, constructing shelters, making boards for firedrills etc.
The Mora is taped in its sheath to the Kuhkuri sheath and adds no noticeable weight and extremely little bulk. It handles all the cutting outside of chopping and batoning for the most part. Cutting open fish, food prep, whittling and shaping wood and things along those lines. It's very light and the thin blade cuts with little effort, so it takes a while to feel fatigued using this knife.
There are other knives that are very good and extremely versatile, but this combo suits me the best. If I were going to replace either knife with something different, I'd go with a machete and SAK Farmer. I like the kuhkuri over a machete for better chopping and wood splitting ability, which is what my large knives are primarily used for, and I prefer a fixed blade to a folder when outdoors, especially if my hands are cold, hence the Mora over the SAK. With a chopper there isn't as much need for a saw, and the screwdrivers and awl are almost never used on my SAK.
If I could cheat and add a third item to this, I'd include a small knife like a Buck Hartsook neck knife or a Stockman. I like having something with tiny blades for doing more detailed wood carving work, whether for constructing something you need or whittling things for the pleasure of it.
This setup is kind of overkill for the summer, so what I like better for this time of year is one of my puukkos and a SAK Farmer. I'll usually take the one in the middle, which has just enough mass to do some effective chopping, is long enough to baton should it be rainy out etc. The SAK's saw is a good addition to the Brusletto because it's not the most effective chopper. This combo is a lot lighter and more practical for this time of year.
It's 1/8" at the spine, a little under 6 inches in length, has a scandi grind and about 4 inches of stacked leather / aluminum handle. I'd prefer different handle materials and a slightly taller bevel, but it works. The one on the bottom is an extremely good cutter, having a thinner spine and more acute bevel. I carry that a lot in the summer as well. All five knives looked a lot prettier in these photos than they do now.
