Buck vs Mora - my cheap knife experiment ended one way

I picked up a Buck 110 and a Mora Companion last year to see which one could handle daily abuse better. The Mora was $15, the Buck was $45, and after 6 months of cutting cardboard and random yard work in my backyard in Boise, the Mora won hands down. The Buck's blade chipped on a dry branch, while the Mora just needed a quick strop and kept going. Anyone else find that price doesn't match performance with these two?

72 bucks for a Buck and it chips on a branch? That stinks. I feel your pain on that.

Oh man, that's rough. For 72 bucks I'd expect it to survive a light breeze, not chip on a twig. Probably made of the same stuff as those cheap pry bars that snap if you look at them wrong. Guess it's a "limited edition" now with that custom notch.
