I'm trying to fit "Mora knife" and "$99-109" into my brain at the same time.

I'll be in the market for one just as soon as my rat tail models wear out. I've had one since about 1975 or so - I was cutting with it today.

Ainīt gonna happen.
Mora = decent (not excellent) quality for a low price. If I would want a high price knife I go to some other maker known for top quality.

I watched Dave Canterbury's Wilderness Outfitter review on that channel. Ridiculous price.

At $100 it does open up a lot of other options.

Well manufactures have known to be able to move from market segment or add a marker segment by having different lines for different quality/price points.

It takes some use to, that the budget brand now has more expensive offering. I have not seen this knife in real life, but if the quality is up to the $100+ quality point, than it could be a just another new option.

Mora knives are truly excellent values. When you consider more expensive knives, you don't have to go very far up the price scale to realize you are in "bling" country. Frankly I think it is hard to justify spending more than $100 on any knife, based solely on the utility of the instrument.

Many times I have seen items listed on a company site. They are listed a "MSRP". It stands for Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. After a while you will see them at a much lower price on Amazon and such. Wait a few months and you will see them much cheaper....

Good Point! Toyota will sell you a $15,000 Yaris and a $120,000 Lexus. Why can't a manufacturer produce different qualities of goods?
