I've been using Mora knives for over 30 years. They are cheap, easy to bring up a razor sharp edge, light in weight, with ergonomic handles...they are time proven to be top performers. They come in Stainless as well as high carbon steel. Up to this point none have offered full tang construction. Soooo. Now, what's not to like?
This drop is for the new upgraded Version of the standard Mora Knife. It's the only knife in the product line with a full tang that runs from the tip all the way back out the end of the handle. A huge upgrade on a knife that was great to begin with.
In over 40 years of working on ships, the waterfront, hunting, camping, and the Commercial Fishing Industry, I've never seen one break. (It's hard to do, but it can be done. usually using it as a pry bar works) Sea Urchin Divers use them (stainless) to pry urchins loose off rocks. It's not uncommon to see one strapped to the ankles of scuba divers, they're found on work boats, pleasure boats, on dockworkers and working piers piers, as well as campers, hunters, fishermen, construction workers, and bushcraft enthusiasts. Even your grandma's knife drawer.
So, you ask what isn't perfect about them? IMHO, The sheaths are terrible, for any use other than keeping the edge safe in a drawer, or tool box. There are plenty of sheaths out there to suit your needs. All Mora knives take a razor edge. The stainless blades don't stain or rust, but you can dull them faster than the high carbon steel blades. the high carbon steel blade, does take more care and maintenance to prevent stains, and rusting. Guess its its a trade off based on your needs.
This knife is an improvement on the other Mora Knives, but Mora's $100. + price tag makes you wonder if Mora isn't engaging in a little price gouging.
Massdrop has brought the price a little more into line. It's well worth joining this drop.
this knife will last you a lifetime.
yes the pommel extension has 90 degree edges, good for starting fires with a fire steel, breaking car windows in an emergency, and cutting your hand. Then there are guys who have used it to carve out wooden spoons. So I guess knife is what you make of it. It's not a toy, its a tool that should be used and cared for just like any other in your tool or takle box.
I have no association with Mora Knives or Massdrop. Just an everyday long time user sharing my experience for what it's worth, I have lots of knives most are a lot more expensive than these. They all have their purpose and things they do best.
This is a near perfect all round everyday knife for fishing, hunting, camping, and as an EDC, and a good candidate for inclusion in your bug out bag.
Hope this helps.
