I double checked the link, it looks like the browser appends the ref=cm_sw_su_dp once it's loaded. It's not actually in the URL of the link I posted. Not sure what it's designed to do, but I don't think the referral link does anything in this case, I tried deleting it and entering a random string of characters mashed onto the keyboard and it still loads the same item:

For $40 you can probably get two Mora companions. For it's size/price point the Mora is a pretty damn good knife but it is a knife, not an axe or shovel or pry-bar or hammer or anything else.

As such, it should be used mainly for cutting tasks. You can baton with it but it's not a heavy duty chopping/splitting tool since it's not full tang and the blade construction is thinner than most 'survival' knives. In a way, this may be preferable for learning bushcraft skills as it will force you to use good knife technique vs. smashing through stuff. Just be aware of the tool's limitations and you'll do fine with it. Don't be shy about bringing other appropriate tools either. A combination of Knife+hatchet or Knife+folding saw can serve you better than just one big bulky knife.

Edit: Check out the Mora "Adventure" product line. I'd recommend the safety Orange handled ones so you can find it if you drop/lose it. The 'Survival' models are more expensive ($65 on amazon) but have slightly thicker blade (3.2mm), a diamond sharpener built into the sheath and a firesteel attached as well. (Bonus: The video on that page actually has someone using the knife for it's intended purpose, not hacking at sides of beef or chopping rope some 13 year old who's angry at his dad. I'm looking at you, cold steel).

Edit edit: Damn... Now I want one too.
