Well, I see nothing wrong with the Chris Reeve and/or Bill Harsey knives mentioned above.
I prefer a larger blade for chopping tasks, so of the list, I like the GB knife best. You can do most small jobs with a bigger knife, if necessary, but it is not easy to do big jobs with a small knife.
A machete, axe, or kukri is nice, depending on the environment, combined with a smaller fixed blade and a Swiss Army or quality multi-tool.
Avoid Chinese made products.
