Dang, the Moras are like candy, I've bought several more since my first one. I wound up selling all the new ones to a coworker who runs a sharpening service on the side, and sells knives as well. LOL I wound up ordering yet another one, a new model:

It's the Bushcraft Black, featuring a 3.2 mm thick blade. I intend to keep this one.

Since my last post, I've used the Carbon Clipper a bunch at work. I used it to cut a 1/2" thick nomex blanket, which is very tough stuff. It took several passes, but did a great job. Also cut a thick rubber/composite conveyor belt for splicing, it made short work of that as well.

Looks good. Well wear! I like the dayglo ones too - those have the great advantage of not turning into a blade of grass or a stone when you put them out of your hand for a second.
