@Janne, I guess that's because all outdoor knives you have seen in Scandinavia have a Scandi grind???
The Scandi grind is nice for carving, the flat grind is nice for cooking, but weak, the concave blade isn't so easy to clean after breakfast.
Convex is good for everything but not so easy to sharpen.
So, I voted for Scandi, but usually use a flat grind, Victorinox or Opinel, because I eat 100 times before I carve something.
The perfect travel and trekking knive has a flat grind, the perfect bushcraft knive a Scandi grind in my opinion.
The Fjellkniven F1 is phantastic as long as you don't try to slice vegetables with it.
Surely the perfect survival knive it is a bad kitchen knife. The blade is simply to thick.
German boy scouts tent to use flat grinded knives with relatively thin blades. Carefully used they work for carving too, but they are fine in the kitchen.
