[AUSSIE]

MORA 2000's are the most underrated budget outdoor knives on the market. Simply awesome for the price!!

While we're at it about Moras, what does everybody have to say about carry? I figure that the wilderness contexts we're talking about would be more likely than most to see the user dangling at odd angles, falling out of trees, getting hit in the face with a Jeep airbag, etc., etc., etc. I've just read what must be at least the second reference I've seen to an on-a-cord-around-one's-neck carry. I'd be just a little nervous about suspending a blade that sharp that close to center-chest--on a rig that allows a foot or more of play in most directions--which relies on friction alone to hold the knife in place--and which has potential to turn the wearer into a cyanotic yo-yo if the cord gets caught on some kind of snag. I see Lundin using this carry in 98.6, but I'm curious: what mishaps, if any, have people experienced or witnessed or heard about using this kind of carry? For Moras or other neck knives, for that matter? Any non-obvious advantages of neck carry, by the way?

The only time I carry mine around my neck is 1.during the winter when I have extra layer. I hate mulling through layers to get at my belt knife. 2. when I have my pack on. My pack has a waist strap that smashes any belt knife to my waist. Other than that I made a leather belt sheath for my Frosts to carry and my Eriksson 22 came with a good leather sheath from Ragnars.http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html
