Someone will fall for it, they are better quality than most "collectable" knives anyway!
I went with a mate to look at a knife stall last year, he wanted a useable knife but didn't want to order a mora off the net I spoke to the seller who assured me he had sold knives for 30 years and knew all about knives. I told him I had bought a mora for £7 and apart from never having heard of mora or frost he said "it can't be any good for that price, look at these hollow handled survival knives they are good!" He also assured me that a proper swedish steel knife would cost at least £40 or £50 and I must have been conned with cheap chinese junk. We left without buying anything!

I know the feeling, someone at a flea market tried to sell me a 16 (or so) inch Croc Dundee style bowie as a camp knife

Why not collect Moras? I've seen plenty of stuff that sells for silly money to "collectors" that I wouldn't have given bin room to let alone house room! At least with a collection of knives you've always got something useful close to hand !

I have one of the orange handled ones already. I had bought a swedish trauma kit and it had one in it. Only problem with the medical supplies in the kit is that all the instructions are in Swedish! :bluThinki

Yeah, gets confusing sometimes when the name is already French sounding..
