So much of this is a matter of personal experience. A good heavy chopping knife ( I use a Dartmoor but a Kukri or similar will certainly suffice ) gets jobs done effortlessly. Yes with the right technique you can fell a small tree with a Mora but this can be done with a few swipes of my big unfashionable Dartmoor.
I will happily split kindling from a log thicker than a Mora's blade length battening with a Dartmoor. For a campfire I feel this is adequate and I never feel compelled to use an axe.
However whilst I could, I'm not so comfortable gutting small game with such a brutish knife. I want a small blade for this probably smaller than a Mora even. For preparing food a Mora is probably as good as any kitchen knife in your drawer and my Dartmoor certainly isn't good for buttering toast!
The fashion certainly is for a Mora, Laplander and small Gransfors Axe but you have to put quite a bit of effort in with these and I think the Laplander and Hatchet particularly are a big compromise on their fixed blade and larger brothers.
Every choice comes with a set of compromises. You just have to work out what's most useful to you in the kind of setting you will be in.
For me this is often my faithful Wilkinson Sword Dartmoor and a Fallkniven F1 or S1 but my Mora has not been replaced long. These work brilliantly together for me covering the majority of tasks I need with just two tools.
My Mora Bushcrafter is a superb tool. I'm not in love with my Laplander and I don't feel my GB Outdoors Axe adds much to the mix but it's a lovely thing.
