I've never heard of Morakniv until a few weeks ago, and since then have done a fair bit of googling and watched more than a few Youtube videos on them - they seem to be almost universally well-liked and highly-praised, and even the low-end knives starting at under 15 Canuck Bucks appear to be as well made as some of the more expensive ones.
Many of their cheapest knives all look identical to four of the ones in this video, and the only variation on the theme is blade width, breadth, and length. Another neat thing about these knives is that just about every design gives you the choice between stainless and carbon steel. I chose the latter, and they came plated so I'm sure that plating will wear off before long - but that's OK since I know how to care for a carbon steel blade (basically keep it dry and clean). Another variable is that for an extra couple of dollars you can buy one of the models with the rubberized compound on the handle - the extra grip you get with these is definitely worth the few extra bucks you pay for them.
The knives are razor sharp out of the package and their handles are close enough to symmetrical that you could use the knives in a "backwards" manner drawing toward yourself if you absolutely had to. I'm still getting used to this new style of plastic sheath but I think I will before too long. The funny bump you see on the front of four of the sheaths is a special clip that clips into a groove in the back of the same type of sheath so you string your knives together. I'm still trying to think of a real practical use for that, but I'm sure there must be one out there. It is a cool feature.
