The pattern, steel, heat treatment, and the grind. The scandi grind is very newbie friendly as it is dead simple to sharpen (zero learning curve).

Also, pride. Much like a SAK or Opinel, I bet a 100 years from now you will still be able to buy a Mora and the quality will be the same or better, and the price will have remained low.
