Picked up an 840 and 860 from Ben's Backwoods to see what all the fuss was about.
All I've done with them is whittle some willow tent pegs (I've got a weeping willow out back) but I must say I'm impressed. The handles fit the hand well and they are wickedly sharp. I understand the carbon bladed one (840) will take and hold a better edge but I couldn't tell much difference in practical use. They both made a few tent pegs and still shaved hair off my arm.
I'll still trust my Fallkniven F1 more but I wouldn't feel underknifed with either of these Moras!
