Middle ground is probably the sweat spot. A $200 dollar benchmade may be great but 3 $65 Ontario knives might be just as good if not better. I agree in the you get what you pay for argument in most cases but at some point there is a diminishing return. Is a Jag really any better than a Volvo at 1/3 the price. Moro's seem to be pretty decent for the price...Sharp and good steel but handles and sheathes aren't much to talk about.
