   Yes, I remember with my 110 I received it and it spoke about how   
   important Christ was to their company and that they see him as a board   
   member.

   I find knives that are not too good a good thing. That means that if it   
   gets damaged, I can always buy a new one, and I won't worry about using   
   it hard. If I had a 500 USD knife, I would perhaps refrain from using it   
   as much as I would use a 100 USD knife.   
      
   That's what I love with the Moras, use them, and if something happens,   
   buy a new one for 15 USD.   
      
   I also bought a Garberg as a birthday gift and that thing feels as if it   
   could survive a nuclear blast. It was more expensive though at around 70   
   USD or so.
