I have three different MORA knives.A model #1,Bushcraft Force and the Bushcraft Black.As Roarmeister said the Bushcraft Force/Black have longer tangs but are also the widest of all Mora's.The Force model is in stainless and I plan on using it for boating and fishing.The BLACK is carbon steel and has the thicker blade.It will be my back up hunting backpacking blade.My primary knife is a Randall model #5.I wouldn't say the thicker blade is better but it is stronger of course.The edge geometry is just different.The BUSHCRAFT series handles are some of the most comfortable I have used.Yes the ROBUST Mora's are better than the others.The bushcraft Moras are better than the other Robust line....
