Moras, on the other hand, are knives I can't have enough of. I probably have a Mora in every room of the house, a couple in my truck, one secured to the frame of my Goldwing, and several sitting in boxes waiting to be placed. I also really like the Swedish Fireknife by Light My Fire. Take a Mora knife, put a Swedish Fire Steel striker in the handle so you've always got a way to start a fire with your knife, and you've got a winner. Granted, it is $4 over the limit for what we're talking about in this thread, but I hope this can be overlooked.

I am, as of yesterday, in receipt of my first Fire Knife.
Scored for $25, shipped, at auction.
There's a secondary grind near the tip, kind of along the lines of the Mora 2000 secondary grind, but less pronounced. The blade is a little narrower than a regular Mora blade, and just a shade thinner.
The handle is nicely ergonomic, and the fire steel integrates well with the handle. It has a positive twist locking action that assures it won't be falling off and getting lost.
I guess I was kind of expecting a bit of cheese on this, given that marketing is often a bit overdone, but I have to confess I was pleasantly surprised.
There will be more of these for me. One of them will replace the Mora Clipper in my "portable kitchen" box. Others may replace Moras in my Bags of Bugging.
I'm impressed with this one.
I'd be okay with one or two, but the darned things come in something like six colors, so naturally . . .
