A Mora is a functional cheap knife that is very sturdy compared to any folder that I know of (US nerds tend to want folders). Maybe it's less sturdy than more expensive fixed blades. I don't think they'd be any good as table knives in normal circumstances though, because of the blade profile. As I see it, a small knife is for cutting, it's not a pry bar or axe, so making it out of inch thick steel indicates confusion about its function. There are bigger knives you can chop with though.
