Chad Love: Cut Down a Tree with a Ten-Dollar Knife

So say you're stuck in the woods, the temperature's dropping fast and you need shelter and fire, quickly. There are trees all around but you have neither saw nor axe. All you have is your knife. It's not even a big Rambo-inspired, serrated-edge survival sword with a picatinny rail, but a twelve-dollar plastic-handled mora with a litI admit, I'm a knife junkie just like the rest of you. Customs, semi-customs, high-end production models, even plain-jane knives speak to us with their seductive blend of form and function and we respond by purchasing them without regard to reason or budget.

But in terms of absolute bang-for-buck, is there anything out there to compare to the lowly mora? These simple, inexpensive wonders aren't made of the latest super steel, they aren't a quarter-inch thick and there's nary a tactical, special ops-inspired doodad on them anywhere. They just work when you need them to. If you shop around you can find them for about the same price as a super-sized extra-value meal. And if you want to make your own, you can buy blade blanks for about the same money as your kid's happy-get-fatty meal.

If there's a knife out there with a better price-to-performance ratio than that, I'd like to know what it is.
tle four-inch blade. Hey, no problem.

i have a mora with the orange hande in each of my glove boxes.

I keep one in my truck just in case I don't have my folder on me, great little knives for the money

they are great for the money, and if you lose it or break it, it's not a big deal.

They ARE a good knife for the money! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have MANY in my rigs- houses etc- [censored] hard to beat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Where do you guys get your moras? They are cool little knives.

When I was young a mora was the first "real" knife most of us had.
They used to be the best knife for the price but I think some of the asian knives nowadays are as good.
I just gave my last one to my oldest daughter to put in her trucks emergency kit

slow on here today

The sportsmansguide has them for pretty cheap.

The Mora's that I get are sold at the local hardware store, and the last one
I bought was sold at one of the parts stores I go to.

Between my brother and myself, we've had quite a few.
