Hello I agree with you I have one Mora clipper carbon blade,Mora clipper Inox and Mora T steel.
All of them are fantastic cutters and very handle confort.
My only disconfrom is from T steel that really rusts fast.
If you want a cutter go for Mora if you want a cutter+survival knive go for Fallkniven F1 has thicker blade and really very good cutter to.
Enjoy

grant,
the technique is called batoning. You place the knife on, say, a 4" tree. You then take a stick (your baton) and smack the back of the knife, driving it through the wood. Mors Kochanski describes this technique in his wilderness book (Northern Bushcraft). I saw a video of Mors using this technique and I was amazed how well it worked.

I have to agree with you guys that those knives are good for everyday use/misuse. I hate them though since they are the main reason that Finnish Puukko culture had it's down fall.
They are so cheap in Scandinavia that people don't often sharpen them, they just throw them away and buy a new one. Main users, like house builders, hunters and such did not bother to use "good" Puukko's since those Mora's were available for 1.5$ or even less.
It's getting better tough, since Mora's are not considered good enough for hunters anymore. It will stay anyway in most toolboxes waiting for the day that you need to misuse knife. You can beat the living s*it out of it and if it brakes... Go and buy a new one...
Older days they were moras that one could bent to 90 degree and then back without breaking the blade. Now days it's not possible. Not even with laminated blades.
Mora stays in top with kitchen knifes when talking about using knives in crimes.
That's why it's sometimes called:" the Swedish silencer"

batoning mean holding the knife, cutting edge down, where you want to make the split then you tap or knock the spine of the blade until the desired split is achieved.
I do this with firewood and my little Opinel. Only problem is that the locking mechanism comes a little loose.
