Mora Knives

Anyone here own a Mora knife?
Wow, the Mora #1 carbon steel I ordered just came in today. Initial impression is that this is one very well made, yet inexpensive, knife. There's nothing tactical about this knife, just a good 'using' knife. Biggest complaint about it is the cheesy plastic sheath that comes with it, so I'll be getting out the leather and stitcher one evening to make a better sheath. The blade is very cleanly sharp, it makes a clean slice through paper on every part of the blade.
Hopefully it will hold up well, I'll find out in a few days. Yup, a few days...feels like the birchwood handle has no oil or protective coating on it, so it's getting a gentle rub-down of tung oil for the next few days.
