Brett,
Speak for yourself, I'm still into the "uber expensive semi custom"s and the more uberer(?) expensive customs. ;)
Which actually don't always have to be much more expensive, but I'll save the secret knifemakers with top quality cheap blades for myself so you guys don't drive up my prices!
I've used and abused a few moras in my time, but as good a value as they may be, they just don't last long enough for me, and I prefer a convex grind. That being said, they can't be beat on a "for the money" scale in most cases. Although if you compare them to the few options out there with "no questions asked" warranty, and you find yourself having broken 5 or 6 decent Moras, that may no longer be the case.
