The wood handles are full tang, the plastic handles are only half or 3/4 tang, so the wood handle should be as strong or stronger than the plastic handles Moras. On top of that the laminated blade wood handles are some of the best outdoor blades on the market.
I have seen guys drive the Moras into trees and use them as steps to climb the tree. They are not going to fall apart half way through skinning a deer and I do not plan on stabbing any sheetmetal with any of my knives so the distruction test has little influnce on my choices.
Carbon steel/stainless steel? You kids need to keep in mind that humans have been surviving outdoors, working in the kitchen and fighting wars with carbon steel blades for close to 5,000 years. All you do is wipe the blade off and put a bit of oil on it now and then and you will be fine.
Any Mora you pick will be twice the knife that cheapa## Ozark Trail you are carrying now is. Just shell out the $8 and get one!
