Hey Jim,
I have used a Mora Clipper a lot and really like it, I use it much more than the traditional oval wood handled Mora.
Mora recently came out with a knife similar to the Clipper but with a slightly thicker blade and grip, it was called the Craftsman Allaround but I think it is now called the Top Q (SS) or High Q (Carbon steel). I have used the stainless version and it does feel a little stronger than a regular clipper.
Both versions can be seen at
Workwear Canada along with a short video by owner Paul Robinson.
I am sure they are available in many places in the US also (Ragweed Forge?).
Very high quality, functional knives for the price.
I know what you mean about a knife being too nice to use, I have a first run Dave Canterbury/Blind Horse Pathfinder Knife that I cannot bring myself to take in the bush.
I have started carrying a very nice Fallkniven F1 though.
No ownership in any of these businesses ...yada, yada, yada; just a happy customer.
Good Luck, Mike
