A Mora Overhaul!

A week ago I returned from Montana having used a rehandled Mora made by a friend of mine. He volunteers at Walter Reid shaping carbon fiber for veteran prostetics.

He made me this:

It still cuts like one....

The handle material is a carbon fiber (black) and kevlar (yellow) weave that is very light but quite strong and rigid from my experience.

Have you customized your Moras recently?

the only change i made to a mora is the sheath. i couldnt stomach the plastic sheath for very long, so i made a leather one. great looking knife.

Thanks guys! He will really appreciate the comments! Did I mention this is his first time doing this?

In fact just the other day he sent me some pics of a Kershaw Needs Work, rehandled in a material similar to this!

That is a whole lot of handle! You definitely need a new sheath though!

WOW a Mora even I would like. Fantastic looking handle.
Please thank your friend for his work for the troops. I have a friend with a prosthetic leg and I really see a need for his work.

MMMotor...

How did he attach that lovely to the blade? Epoxy, JBWeld? I understand that moras only have about a 2" tang. Does anyone know how the mora tangs are shaped, do they have notches or holes for epoxy to grip?
