Mora knifes
« on: July 17, 2011, 07:25:00 PM »
Have you guys and gals tried the Mora knife line yet ? If you have not check them out , they are tuff as crap , very sharp/easy to resharpen , perfect for about any use in the outdoors I can think of  . Best of all the price of one will run $20 and under and you cna get them from tradgang sponsor Two Tracks . This knife is one of the best deals you will find period .

The C223 is a big camp type knife, I mostly have hunting/bushcraft types right now. I maybe placing and order soon and that is one I need to look at. I would have had to wait for a week or so to get it with my last order and that would have made me miss having the knives for the show we went to. I will make a post when we get the website updated and running,please just PM or call until then. Thank you.

I must have about a dozen mora knives scattered around the place.  Great knife for the price!  Not always my go to knife but many times an extra in a kit,  in a tool box, anywhere yea might need a knife.  If yea ask to borrow a knife I'll likely hand you a mora...

I always keep one in the glove box and the Scamp trailer. For the price, buy a few and scatter them around. They come exceeding sharp right off the bat.

I just had to go for a quick countup; I've got 17!
In the toolbox, 3 on the boat, glovebox of the truck & The Wife's car, toolbox on the truck, several in the office, two in the kitchen drawers, one in each of my hunting packs & 3 in my 'bug-out box/camp kitchen'

Disgustingly useful piece of kit!  :D

One thing I do notice (moreso in the US than in the UK, for some reason) is that a lot of folks don't know how to sharpen a Scandi grind properly.
When you sharpen a Mora/Frosts/Helle blade, you really want to be sharpening with the entire bevel flat to your stone. A Scandi grind shouldn't have a secondary bevel on the edge.
Once you get your head around it, it really is the easiest kind of grind to sharpen & generally speaking, the toughest edge to blunt.

If anyone's interested, I did a tutorial on sharpening over on the Knife Maker's forum, that deals specifically (In the first half) with sharpening a Scandi ground blade.....

Mora are well known here in Scandinavia for making tough and affordable knives. I don't think there has been a household without at least one, where I come from. I think they even made a filet-knife with a cork handle, that my father and grandfather used when in the boat at sea. At least I think it was Mora..
