I wandered into owning three Mora knives. So far for what I have used them for (cutting stuff) they are great. Good size, easy to manage, light weight. I usually trust the opinion of my father-in-law on knife issues, and he absolutely loves his Mora knives. I also have (and can't wait to use) a Cold Steel Bushman. For it's size and supposed strength it is reasonably light, and inexpensive.
