I hear alot about Mora's on bladeforums, but I have never seen one. I am interested in getting one but I don't know where to find a good one (are there any bad brands that I should stay away from?). So, where is the best place to get a Mora? Also, could you tell me a little more about this knife (history, blade steel, variations in design,ect.)? I appreciate any help that I recieve.

I've been very impressed with the Frosts laminated steel knives, also the stainless Erickssons ... these are a lot of knife for very little money. Also Ragnar is a totally class guy you'll really enjoy doing business with.

Top to bottom, frost s/s, frost carbon, eriksson s/s, ericksson carbon. All fun knives for the money.

Yet another vote for Ragnar, he is great. Also, Canranger is a more dealer and just as great to deal with.
My favorite Mora is, by far, the Mora 2000. It is a little pricier than the others, but well worth it. See the various reviews on point.
Aside from the Mora 2000, the Swak, as posted above is a nice model (especially the triflex laminated one), and just a regular ho-hum #1 from Frost's is just fine.
Before using, check out Old Jimbo's page on tuning up the edge with simple abbrasives and you will be good to go.
These knives will readily outcut knives multitides more, espeically the sharpened pry-bar type of knife.
Don't expect to do any significant prying, these are cutting tools. Used with in its intended scope of work, these are a fine blade at modest price.

In addition to IUKE's photo, here's my favorite model, the Frosts Clipper:
Best. Handle. EVAR. And weighs only slightly less than nothing.
If you don't like the olive/black color, it's also available in blue/black in stainless, or red/black in carbon steel. Or if you tend to lose things, like, say, me:
The photo doesn't do justice to the orange color. If it was any brighter, it would need batteries.

ive been using many different moras and i think kj erikssons are better cutters, i really like the blue and red ones with plastic handle, much better than frosts which have a hollow plastic handle (it just doesnt feel right).
but as gryffin said the frosts clipper is the shit, very good handle. get one

another vote for ragweedforge. ragnar is a top notch fellow. erikssen and frosts are the same company so you can't go wrong whichever model you choose. the major differences are blade length and the handle. i like them all but suggest you buy 2 or 3 different ones to try if your budget and wife will allow it. there cheap enough that it shouldn't be to hard convincing her. btw mora stainless is as good as there carbon blades. i believe its sandvick 12c27.

The wooden handled ones with a slightly rounded shape are extremely comfortable. I'd make sure to pick one of them up in a handle size that you feel would suit you.
The large main bevel with no secondary bevel is a good alternative to grinding a knife flat to the stone and removing steel from the entire blade face while retaining the excellent cutting advantadges of such an acute edge.
