Eriksson seems a much more common brand name than the higher end Frosts.

I strongly feel that nothing on this page is promotional, but I suspect some wikinazi to come in and delete the page. Good luck with the article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.172.19 (talk) 08:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds promotional to me. The language is just on the other side of informational, and sounds to me like it was read off a Mora Knife box. While it is interesting, and may contain kernels of truth, I'd prefer a more neutral tone, with an awareness of how Mora knife-making compares to other (mainstream) methods, specifically. Until there are sources other than the Mora website, and until some indication of notoriety has been given, this page needs to cool off. The phrase "excellent tool" bugs me in particular. I've marked the page to be checked for neutrality. Isaaclyman (talk) 04:36, 26 September 2011 (UTC)isaaclyman[reply]

This reads like an advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.25.87 (talk) 05:30, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well,it is an exellent tool. Simple,sturdy and cheap. I've used a mora knife on the job for the last 6 months and it has stood up against a lot of abuse. I've cut tubes of caulk,cardboard,electric cable and even batonned trough small rivets and faulty spot-welds. Do I hear Mora fanboy? Not really,they're ugly things. It's a tool. I see nothing wrong or incomplete with this page. Could add the bit about Ugly though. Most people seem to agree on that.

It is baseline copy. And when I say copy I am referring to promotional copy. That is a fact. This is not purely nuts and bolts analysis. Saying excellent about a product is a personal viewpointthat is obviously subjective. Copy, as in retail rhetoric. Why would there even be this discussion, it is plain as day. It may not be exaggerated like most copy today but it is pure product promotion for sales. There is a wide array of information available on the www so this page and others should always be approached with this critical thinking. Simple and effective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.250.38 (talk) 00:10, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds OK to me, since Mora tools are well regarded by bushcraft experts. It's a simple matter of fact that they have a good reputation: they are relatively well made and of good quality materials. I'll see if I can find anything in a travel or camping magazine. The references that come up first are self-published by independent bloggers and websites: BRIK Bushcraft review of Mora Bushcraft Triflex; Woodtrekker's review of Mora No. 1. knife: "The reason I chose the Mora No 1 is that it has been used by many in the bushcraft community for a long time. It has been thoroughly tested and reviewed and is endorsed by many respected woodsmen." --Monado (talk) 19:14, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I feel it would improve the artical if there was further discussion on forge welding process that forms the laminated blade which is what sets this knife apart from other kinds of knives adding a tough layer to the out side of the knife while maintaining a hard but less tough middle to do the cutting work. This could then be linked to any articals dealing with the topic of blacksmithing or steel in letting which would improve the over all informative nature of the artical as it would describe some of the uniqueness of the tool in a structural manner instead of a more qualitative manner. If there is some unique history to this forging process that would be interesting and not have and advertising feel. -- Tony Beers August 2013
