Between Mora and Puukko knives, I gotta give it to Europe for making some of the best quality and price friendly knives around.

    There are inexpensive knives made all over Europe and the world. I prefer made in the USA for my normal pocket knives, Europe for my traditionals, when I need/want something for a specific job I tend to look for something made in Taiwan.

    You can buy a perfectly fine and decent Mora knife for 10 USD.

    You cannot get a high end Swedish knife for 10 usd.

    A perfectly fine and decent mora is all one needs, beats the pants off a “high end” James Brand.

    Mora 2000 is perfect. But I do like my Strømseng Sami knife and my benchmade.

    My biggest surprize was a Petzl Spatha folding knife (that have a large hole for attaching rope) made from Sandvik steel

    wtf is a "high end" knife? it's a bit of sharp metal with a handle, what could you possibly do to make it better?

    As @Cetan states its usually the metal, but also the material in the grip and the sheath. I have hadde several basic Mora knives with plastic grips and sheaths. Perhaps most satisfied with the Mora 2000, should have gotten the orange one as the green was lost to the forest.

    For forest use I can reccomed knife smith Strømeng 8" sami knife with finger guard. (Cant get the 9" with finger guard). Not a nimble knife tho'.

    Strømeng does not have English web page https://samekniv.no/

    I love Morakniv. Can tell you first hand, those are the best damn survival knives anywhere. I have a Companion that never leaves my backpack, it is such a damn useful tool.

    I used mora knives for soil pits for ages. They're cheap, tough and have a thick blade. Razor sharp. I had to actually dull mine to reduce risk of cutting myself when working.
