Sort of cool he's selling a cheap mora on his site instead of some sort of pimped out signature blade.
I'm not a real fan of Cody Lundin for two reasons: his insisting to wear shorts and go barefoot. The only reason the primitive tribes go barefoot is because they didn't have the technology & materials to make good boots... IMHO.
I do like his bushcraft skills. That's why I was wondering what knife he used.

Going barefoot isn't a very smart survival tactic. It is a gimmick. Evidently it works.
I don't understand why people get hung up on this to the point where you wouldn't like him for it. Even Cody will tell you it's not for everyone or even most people. Why do I care if he doesn't wear shoes? As to the shorts, that's nothing new. Ever see a ups driver? A lot of them are in shorts year round.

Great commitment for him to keep up a gimmick for 30 years though.
... I know a couple people who have taken his courses and they comment on how knowledgable he is while remaining humorous and down to earth. He is an expert in the field, but does not act like a pompous ass.

He also doesn't plaster his name all over merchandise and fancy gear and shill it to people, even though he easily could. That speaks volumes regardless of his clothing choices.
He pockets $4,740 for a 24 hour course for twelve people. $395 to spend the night outside sitting by a campfire...pomposity indeed.

Hmm $400 to DIY by a campfire? I think there is a bit more to it than that.
It's not my job to sell him to you.
