I've been curious about these knives ever since Mora announced at shot show 2015. There's not question in my mind that Mora understands how to properly construct a knife. So even if they blades are stamped instead of water-jet cut or forged, I'm sure they are still properly heat-treated (which nullifies the negative effects on the grain structure from stamping). I think that people sometimes get too caught up in steel types and forget the huge variability the comes from the heat-treating. Again, based on the performance and reputation of their other knives, I trust that they have selected a good quality stainless (Swedish steels in general tend to be very pure and very high-carbon, which is why many Japanese makers will also use them), and that they have heat-treated it well.
Both the handle design and construction are based on a classic design that Mora has been using in their outdoor line for LOONG time, so, again I'm confident that they know how construct it properly ( with good fit & finish ). The simple design is also not too different from a traditional Japanese shape, so I'm also confident that these will be both comfortable and offer a variety of grip options. However, it is important to note that wood handles are more sensitive to abuse / poor knife care habits (so no submerging in water; certainly no time in the dishwasher torture chamber for these!).
The edge profile and blade shape also looks good on these: the "double drop point" is a bit unconventional, but their thinking seems sound: it helps with tip -to-handle alignment so the tip is not too high, it also makes the tip (the area most frequently bent or damaged) slightly stronger, while also reducing the severity of "poking" injuries. It will also delay the time before the knife starts losing much blade length as it's sharpened and worn down.
The real unknown for me here is still a big one though: it's how the blades are actually ground: - how thick are they directly behind the cutting edge? -how do they taper from heel to tip? -are the sides of the bade dead-flat or properly, progressively tapered or convexed? @MASSDROP, I've mentioned this before: some additional photos from the direction of spine, tip, and choil would be super useful in getting a better sense of these things.
Based on Mora's experience of putting thought and cutting-performance into their products, I have hope, but I also know that there's a big difference between grinding outdoor and cheap industrial food-processing tools and grinding mid to high end kitchen knife blades.
Still, the price for this drop is actually really smokin'. The price for all 3 knives seems only about $30 over the lowest price that I saw for the chef's knife alone.
For those that care, here's the steel info: http://smt.sandvik.com/en/products/strip-steel/strip-products/knife-steel/sandvik-knife-steels/sandvik-14c28n/
here's the original shot show booth video that also offers the most info and views of each blade that I've found so far:

I haven't personally used these particular Mora knives but I have used 2 of their other ones and I got to tell ya. They are PHENOMANL knives and you CAN NOT go wrong with one.

Yeah the shipping restriction is stupid. These are kitchen knives. They do not experience import restrictions anywhere in the world.

TinyPhreakBecause the vendor ships them all to massdrop then massdrop ships them out individually to the buyers.
Alternatively the company that sells the knife has them shipped from the manufacturing facility to wherever and has no setup for shipping back. (Don't know anything about this company so I can't say if they manufacture themselves or source that off)

They use The Sandvik 14C28N Steel. Greetings from Sweden :)

"Swedish steel" generally means Sandvik 12C27 or sometimes Sandvik 13C26 (very similar to AEB-L). Since its already been confirmed to be a sandvik steel its probably one of the two.
Officially though the only statements I can find are "The actual blade is made of carefully selected Swedish stainless steel that is hardened and tempered in a secret process – a well-kept company secret for hundreds of years" and "Working with Sandvik, they use Swedish cold-rolled stainless steel (hardened to HRC 56-58)."

Are these forged or stamped? Can't seem to find much information on them anywhere.
