Classic old school Mora

I use the factory sheath as a liner and overlay it with scrap leather. I cut the old plastic loop off the sheath and install a lined leather one (30-minute job).

Removing the knife handle, burning off the red paint, reinstalling the handle with epoxy, modifying the sheath, usually takes me slightly over an hour. Time well-spent? Well, on those cold winter days, it can be something to do. :)

Time spent with knives is ALWAYS time well-spent! Thanks for an excellent idea, I have to try something similar! Good tip about the blade too.
 
Regarding the question of it being laminated steel, thes pics from earlier in the thread makes me think it is. Look carefully at the spine and note the darker center section. Anyone else think the same?

I think all carbon Mora's are like that.My Classic was polished when i got it and wasn't like that,but the others i have saw,were like this one on the picture.
 
Ya, usually they polish up the sides real good but don't touch the spine, so you get that bit of metal pushed up on the sides, and the center is dark. I don't know how you would tell if it laminated, but I know that even the plain carbon spines have a darker middle, until you file them flat.
