Out of all my outdoor blades (none are safe queens) why is it my Mora is with me more than the rest? Price.... if I loose it it won't hurt as bad? Maybe. I do love my Mora. Just seems to fit my hand well, easy to touch up, and take a razor edge. I know it's been said before. It just amazes me that out of all these choices:

it's my Mora that is around my neck, or in my rucksack most often. :confused:
 
To me it's simple...MORAS WORK!

It never ceases to amaze me how they work as good as and even out perform much more expensive knives!
 
You can't argue with success. BTW that is a nice image! Who is the maker of the Nessmuk style kinfe?
 
I found myself carrying my Mora far more than any of my other knives, including my Fallkniven F1, Ranger RD7 or RD9, Swamp Rat M6, and a few others. It takes a much sharper edge than the others, holds it well, works much better with wood, and even though it's only $11, I have never been worried about it breaking.
 
Because that scandi-grind shapes wood like crazy! Probably cuts better than all those others and can Mors Kochanski be wrong?
 
Mora knives may be so popular and useful because they represent an evolution in design over 1,000 years or so. Light weight, efficiency and durability are among their virtues (not to mention being dirt cheap... one of the best cutlery bangs for your buck IMHO). I would cheerfully take my Roselli carpenter's knife as my only fixed blade, provided I had an ax for heavy duty chores. The Roselli is a step above the Frosts and Eriksson blades and it's prettier, too.

I'm in the same boat. Common sense should tell us to stop at the Mora, yet we trudge on searching for something better:D
 
Perfect size, good handle, SHARP blade, easy to clean and sharpen, and cheap. Can't go wrong with a Mora.

I'd like to complain about the sheath, but I can't for the price I got the knife for:D Has anyone bought/made a good aftermarket sheath for a Mora?
 
What's the orange handled one right under the Mora, it's looks like a Charles May or Gene Ingram???
 
I can only take a wild guess: because you have found that it works FOR you and FOR the tasks you most commonly perform.

Another with other tasks . . . . .

And thank God. It's the basis for the advance of civilization.

Advance of technology maybe.

Do you really find city dwellers civilised? :eek: :D
 
Good point Thomas. It was meant tongue in cheek.

You are right. I do find though that citydwellers are less polite and caring with each other.
It is not who they are it is where they live.
 
I have heard nothing but good things about the Moras, despite Kevin consistantly trying to change the topic of this thread. ;)

A Mora is on my list of knives to have around. Just hear too many good things about them to ignore them.

Nice picture, a great collection and good variety!
