It's true that they aren't known for their durability under hard use...but for hard use I have other knives I can use in it's place. I was just feeling nostalgic and wanted a superior cutting tool that I can give to my kids if taken care of properly. It won't be any less durable than a carbon steel Mora I'm sure.

I've looked at the Cold Steel version many times...but buying a knife named a 'Canadian knife' from a US company never sat right with me. I'm sure it's a sturdy knife though as most Cold steel knives are.
