I got mine as a package deal with the Garberg. Very disappointed. The back of the blade looks unfinished. Lots of dents and pitting. I requested an exchange. Hopefully the replacement will be better quality. If they will even send me a replacement.

Lt.AldoRaineThat looks aweful, pretty sure you’ll get a new one though.

TspeelNaw they said they were "out of stock". So they gave me a $15 credit. I've had bad luck with massdrop recently. I will just buy from Amazon from now on.

Lt.AldoRaineHey there! The backs of the blades are unfinished by design. First thing most folks do is grind the back flat for use with a ferro rod. But, yes, they come "ugly".

GhostinragsOh, I didn't know it was supposed to look like that. Yeah, it's pretty ugly. Thank for the info.

Lt.AldoRaineI have several Moras and the spines on all of them save the fillet knife look a bit rough. I take a file to them until they form sharp 90 degree edges on the spine. Filing gives a good surface for scraping magnesium rods and ferro rods. Never use the cutting edge for those. For the price, you really can't expect a flawless product. Moras are meant to be used hard, so looks aren't really important.

WolverinesAgreed. Nothing about these knives is supposed to be pretty (I mean just look at them). They are great knives for the price point intended for hard work and easy field sharpening. If you want aesthetics go with something else. These are purely for function.

GhostinragsThat’s correct! This knife is how it should be and it functional. Test its sharpness. Mora is no joke.

Lt.AldoRaineAll carbon blades by Mora have unfinished spines...it's not a defect.

Lt.AldoRaineJust to add some reason behind the unfinished spine, the Mora website says the following: This knife is designed and intended for Scandinavian construction workers. Here, our priority is a sharp and durable edge with a good grip, which means that the look of the spine isn’t a high priority feature. You are more than welcome to use any of our knives for your intended needs, but keep in mind that the spine will be “raw” (not grinded) on most craftsmen and construction knives. Therefore, it’s not compatible with a fire starter.

CracktowerSome of their carbon blades from recent years do have flat-ground spines: see e.g. the Garberg Black Carbon and Bushcraft Black.
