Cody Lundin uses the Mora exclusively as does Mors Kochanski; both teach survival skills. Sometimes people want something that is sturdier than the Mora or they think it looks "cooler." Here's the skinny on any good knife that you might like to use in a survival situation:
A good survival knife has the following:
1.) A good blade that can hold a decent edge but will sharpen easily under bad conditions.
2.) A full tang, or one that has a partial tang but works well anyway like the Mora.
3.) Fits into your budget.
Also, please note, this can also apply to a kitchen knife like a butcher knife...they make great survival knives. It's not rocket science and the term "survival knife" is misused a lot. A true survival knife is the knife you happen to have when disaster strikes. If you're one of those who can afford an expensive knife and are lucky enough to have it on you at the time, well there you go....
