What is the best all-around survival and bushcraft knife for most people?

Across verified-purchase reviewers, the Morakniv Companion stands out for the largest body of positive feedback in this pool, combining a comfortable Scandi-ground blade, a grippy handle, and a very low price. It is widely treated as a default starter and do-everything bushcraft blade, though its plastic sheath and partial (non-full) tang are the most common criticisms.
