Or to mess things up, you can have one large knife with sharp tip and two different edge angles. :cool:Scramasax or seax... If you aim for two knife set up, do yourself a favour and make sure your large knife really is a large. Imho anything shorter than 20cm is just too small. Talking about...

Some people consider making feathersticks "finer work" whereas finer work for others is making net needles and fishing equipment. Therefore some may say: "My seax is just as capable of doing finer tasks as my mora". For him it is reasonable but for those who do more than just sharpen tentsticks...

The answer is: It all depends on the edge angle. Many woodlore type knives have very steep edge angle, sometimes up to 30 degrees. They are for sure not fragile. On the other hand an edge of a flat ground blade with secondary edge can be very weak. Also, the edge angle defines how well the blade...

For me, it's all about the edge angle. 16 to 25 are the limits. Skandi/nordic grind or full flat.
