I have a small collection of knives in the sub-$200 range, including one Mora and a few others in the same price range. The ones I like and use the most tend to get sharper and stay sharper than the less expensive ones. They tend to have better ergonomics and better edge-holding than basic Moras.

I'm not anti-Mora at all -- they're good blades and many are phenomenal for the price. However, since I can afford a knife that is qualitatively better, that's what I use.
