Whats so great about Mora's?

HEY RELAX.
For most of us the knives are just mere entertainment are just expensive toys.

Yep.

Seriously though, say exactly one thing that a $200 knife can do that a Mora can't! The $200 knife MUST be of the same style, (thin, scandi, partial tang) as otherwise you are comparing apples and oranges.

That's the point, because a Mora is like an apple and a $200 knife is like a full course meal. Sure you can eat apples just fine but sometimes you have the money so you go for the full course meal. It's biggest weaknesses is the fact that it's thin, partial tang, inferior steel, and scandi grind. That's like asking me to find a full course meal that's completely made of apples to compare to an apple.

The steel they use is a fantastic value for the price, the scandi grind may be polarizing but it's certainly not weak, the partial tang is quite strong and will survive every knife-related task you can throw at it, and the blades are as thick as you want since they offer multiple thicknesses.

Those are not weaknesses, they are just qualities that you don't like.

Also, resurrecting a 5-year-old thread simply to crap on a brand is not a great move on your first day, you should really read the guidelines of the forums.

Sorry, bad wording and forgot to look at the date. But yeah the steel is good for the price, and the partial tang is good enough for most anything you're going to do to it, the thickness is also good enough for pretty much everything, and a scandi does have it's upsides. I was just trying to bring up some things a more expensive knife offered me that a Mora couldn't.
