It means that I'll have to mainly cut wood, rope, fabric, all kinds of food, possibly animals... but not much aluminium in the backcountry, for all I know.

If your planning on serious back country exploration take a full tang knife as suggested and a machete or camp axe. This will allow you to save the knife for specific tasks and reduce wear. There are dozens of quality camp axes avaliable just remember to pack a stone with you too keep it sharp. Its also good to note that carrying a multitool along with these options will help you keep everything segregated into its proper roles.
