For $40 you can probably get two Mora companions. For it's size/price point the Mora is a pretty damn good knife but it is a knife, not an axe or shovel or pry-bar or hammer or anything else.
As such, it should be used mainly for cutting tasks. You can baton with it but it's not a heavy duty chopping/splitting tool since it's not full tang and the blade construction is thinner than most 'survival' knives. In a way, this may be preferable for learning bushcraft skills as it will force you to use good knife technique vs. smashing through stuff.
Just be aware of the tool's limitations and you'll do fine with it. Don't be shy about bringing other appropriate tools either. A combination of Knife+hatchet or Knife+folding saw can serve you better than just one big bulky knife.
Edit: Check out the Mora "Adventure" product line. I'd recommend the safety Orange handled ones so you can find it if you drop/lose it. The 'Survival' models are more expensive ($65 on amazon) but have slightly thicker blade (3.2mm), a diamond sharpener built into the sheath and a firesteel attached as well. (Bonus: The video on that page actually has someone using the knife for it's intended purpose, not hacking at sides of beef or chopping rope some 13 year old who's angry at his dad. I'm looking at you, cold steel).
Edit edit: Damn... Now I want one too.
I like my Mora Bushcraft --- like this but in black and a carbon blade. I have a Mora Garberg but I actually like the Bushcraft better. I collect knives and I'm a Mora fan girl. 😊
Sold directly by Amazon, prime enabled, no known clones.
Lowest price since Black Friday (same actually).
As for the knife itself - great option for bushcraft and camping, has blacked blade which prevents rust and the ferro rod is attached to the sheath which is a big plus.
Orange Bushcrafter and the blacked Mora Garberg are also on sale.
