Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Right now, go with a Mora, cheap, effective and simple. A few other options I'm sure the guys on here could give you a long list of good knives.
Hello Mattw4466, it really depends on what exactly chores you want to accomplish in your area of the world. Skinning/field dressing game, carving a spoon, batoning/choping wood, removing a splinter etc... Blade size and shape will accomodate a lot chores many more efficiently than others.

Fallkniven F1 as long as you get on with a convex grind. Good tough all rounder in my opinion. ATB stu
As other people have already said, a cheap mora is a lot of kinfe for your money. Get the carbon steel version, or the laminated one.
If you intend to spend more money, I can't recommend a leuku enough, seldom bother taking an axe or saw with me anymore, the leuku can basically do what they can, or whatever you might need. Make sure to get a 9" blade though. (Strømeng is a reputable brand, link here). Maybe a big bowie can do same work, but I don't like how they perform in carving.
As a general advice I would say that carbon steel is prefered. Keeps an sharper edge than stainless.
