I like knives and have a bunch. For kitchen knives I use Dexter-Russell because they are decent quality and cheap.
You probably don't want to hear what I have to say but just file it away for use later.
Nobody needs a fighting knife. We can always tell the new guys by the Rambo knives they are carrying. Most of the special op guys carry something practical like a Swiss Army knife or a locking folder.
One knife is all you need. It can be something like a locking folder or a fixed blade skinner. The mora that you folks developed is an excellent knife.
If you only have one knife you gotta make sure you don't lose it. I carry a small (tiny) Gerber LST clipped to a D ring on my pack with a mini-caribiner. You might want something a bit bigger with a 2 - 3" blade.
A hatchet is nice to have but heavy. Gerber/Fiskar makes a small one that has a hollow plastic that I carry when weight is not a concern. I have a short Machete (18") that serves the same purpose that I ocassionally carry. The plus side of it is that it is actually a short sword that would serve better than any fighting knife.
As far as SOG knives go, they are O.K. but overpriced and made in China.
