I actually bought the Ritter folding knife last year. Love it. Put it through some tough chores and works like a champ. Holds my hand well, solid locking mechanism. Its my EDC knife.

I have a pretty extensive knife collection and never appreciated cheap. Cheap is usually flimsy, breakable, dull. Like I said never owned a Mora, heard good things, but trust study, thick blades over cost. I'd take a buffalo skinner over a Mora, though its 10-20x the cost.




The Mora is more of a woodworking tool than any of the knives you mention(including the Ritter).
I love my Ritter fixed blade and folders, but they are NOT the first thing I reach for to make a fuzz stick.
Must woodworkers have something very similar to the Mora in their toolkit.
The sabre grind on a Mora is just much more useful for woodcraft.
If you want to see high end, MUCH more sturdy example of the design, just do a search for bushcraft knives.
