Those knives have been around since I was a kid. In fact it was the first "mail order"knife I ever buoght. Even the price hasn't changed much. Don't even recall what happened to it, but I do recall it was a nice little knife. The Laminated blade held a pretty good edge, and the way it was set up, made a good whittling knife. I understand, from articles I've read, that the mora is often issued to students who attend outdoor/survival/woodcraft training classes. So, I suspect its still a pretty good little knife.
