Just like the title states. Is one of these Mora's preferred over the other?
All I seemed to find on the net, is that the Mora 2 is slightly larger than the Mora 1.

I'm hoping to get a little more in depth info. Like if one is stronger, thicker, sharper, etc. than the other?
Honestly looking at pictures online, I can't seem to tell them apart?

I can def. say that this is a solid solid bushcraft knife. Plus it's got history, a huge plus in my book!

Ok, so if you had the choice of the two which one would you choose and why?


By the way, I'm still a knife newb. I've Literaly bought my first knife just a few days ago.
It's already starting to snowball! Lol

One thing I forgot to ask, was if these were full tang?

Just saw a vid on YouTube reviewing the Mora Clipper and the person said it was 3/4 tang?

I might just end up with the Clipper. I like the idea of having the finger cards on the handle.
It's also priced about the same as well.


EDIT: I settled on the Mora Clipper (Miliatry Green) There's just Tony's of good reviews on YouTube of this knife. I picked this one over the Mora 2 solely because of the grip. I like having a finger guard.

I saw a HighQ Allround carbon for $10 & stainless for $11 and bought 1 of each (it would be wrong not to at those prices) - I really like them! The handles are rubbery and grippy and comfy, the blades are so very easy to get crazy sharp and the tang extends a reasonable way into the handle.

The carbon is out of stock but the stainless is available - still the same prices ($11 for the HighQ stainless).

It's just crazy how good a knife you can get for under twenty bucks, I love my Mora knives!

These knives aren't full tang and to be honest, for the use they are designed for they just don't need to be. These aren't choppers but they will cut stuff and when you need to sharpen a stick for use as a tent peg or carve a stick to make a trap - you realise just how good the scandi grind is for tasks like that! I'd have no hesitation to use them for a variety of food prep tasks and all sorts of other general knife use, I have a full tang knife I can take into the bush with me for crazy hard use if I want to do that (BK2 or BK7 or BK9 or Esee Lite Machete) but I would still bring a Mora or 2 along for tasks that are easier with a smaller knife.

If you want incredible versatility & great quality for very little money then how about a Condor machete + Mora knife = just about every bush task covered! Add in a Victorinox Ranger (can opener, bottle opener, file, saw, scissors, blade & lots more) and there isn't much you couldn't handle and you have only spent about fifty bucks in total for the 3 tools!
