Mora knives are awesome. They're ugly, and the sheaths are nothing special, but they'll shrug off a beating and keep going. Check out YouTube, or watch a couple episodes of Dual Survival, to see the abuse that Cody Lundin puts them through.

I keep a Clipper (predecessor to the Companion) in each car, and it's my go-to camping knife.

Your kids are getting tools they can be proud of.
