I would never argue that they are not a good value in the under $20 price range, but that is not an attribute of the knife, just an edge in marketing. I'm sure there are cutting jobs which a Mora does well and others for which it will be adequate. However, the Mora knives I've used didn't feel good too me. The handle sucked and the blade had too much flex. Maybe I was expecting too much given the hype from Mora fans, but I was really disappointed.

When I'm looking at knives which I will trust my life to, a cheap price point never enters the discussion. There are way too many to list knives that I would select over a Mora, they just cost a lot more. BTW, the AFSK I have in my accumulation of knives cost me $15 at a gunshow. That was a good value.
