favorite mora? and number

I love them all. I have 30 or so. I guess the Number two Laminated and the 501 and clipper lead the way.
 
I've owned most of them at one point or another. My favorite right now is the Frosts 106.
 
My favorite is the 510.
I have the following...
Eriksson 2000
Eriksson #2 (4.12" carbon blade, wooden handle)
Eriksson #612 (4.12" carbon blade, wooden handle, half guard)
Eriksson #S-1 (4" laminated blade, wooden handle)
Eriksson #510 (3.75" carbon blade, red plastic handle)
Eriksson #511 (3.75" carbon blade, red plastic handle with half guard)
Eriksson #521 (4" carbon blade, red plastic handle with half guard)
Frosts' Clipper #840 (3.9" carbon blade, red trim handle)
Frosts' Craftsman #740 (4.12" carbon blade, red plastic handle with half guard)
Frosts' Craftsman #740-MG (4.12" carbon blade, OD plastic handle with half guard)
Frosts' #760-MG (4.12" stainless blade, OD handle with half guard)
Frosts' #760 in stainless with orange handle and sheath
Frosts' Craftsman #780 (4.12" Triflex blade, black plastic handle with half guard)
 
I'm old school. My favorite is the classic #1 with red wooden handle. Probably gets the most use as my general purpose fixed knife.

Only own that one and a #780 triflex (until it was stolen), but I have at least another dozen scandi knives. Will probably get a few more when I buy an axe from Ragnar.
 
I only have 4. I really like the 510 and the MK2000.
Clipper in carbon, 510, 780, and MK2000. I haven't got the chance to use the mk2k, other than making fuzzy sticks, so I can't comment on it to much. I'm sure someone on here will make some comment on it.
 
I have a #510 and two re-handles that I did. My favorite is one of my re-handles, but before that it was my #510. The re-handles are basically the same blade and tang as the #510.
 
510 and 2000, both are exceedingly good field blades. They also both do a lot of work compared to the weight. You won't be batoning them point first into hardwood, etc., but they'll take care of you just fine.

Woops! I hammered this one right through this hardwood, point first. No damage.

Hi Horn Dog-

That should have read 'I wouldn't' rather than suggesting that the knife couldn't handle it. I've seen just a few too many examples (especially lately for some reason) of various Moras failing after having been batoning or driven point first. I've had one of the 760-series begin to come loose myself. I will say that the 510 and 2000 are easily the most 'robust' seeming of the Mora family, though.

Either way, this is more of a positive 'favorites' thread, rather than a rehash of what we've discussed a lot recently.

No offense was intended, amigo. :thumbup:

PS- Who made your sheath?

I wouldn't recommend batonning with the point either. I just did that one time. The Moras are all pretty darned tough for the money. The sheath was made by Rainwalker Creations. Jeff Law is the maker. He does most of my sheath work. Well, ALL of it lately.
