Moras are probably the best bush crafting and survival knife out there next to Opinels. You can get a decent Mora and a decent Opinel for $30 together total. I love mine.
I love Opinels and have several, but I discovered a problem with them. If they get wet, even a little, the wood swells and you can't open them with your fingers.
I always used to carve the handle away beside the nail nick so I could get a better grip to overcome this. Also found the more I worked them, the less often they stuck - don't know if they loosened up or it was just wishful thinking.
But carbon steel and wood in a simple design is always going to need a little TLC
