First Mora :)

[cut it out]

Well I finally broke down and got me my first Mora. The Mora 2/0 classic with finger guard to be exact. First impressions are great. Gonna take it on a camping trip this spring and see how she really does but I have zero concerns honestly. Been a long time looker of these but just never pulled the trigger till now. It arrived today so only have fondled it so can’t give any impression other than feel and fit and finish. All good so far.

Mora 612, a good little knife. Current versions are ok. If you can find an older Frosts laminated blade with the O1 core they are better.
Look up Randy Bagwell. He can make you a nice bit of kydex for it.

My first Mora was a 612. There is a photo of it somewhere in my musty archives, but it’s not coming up today. Dog chewed up the handle, so the tooth marks are covered with a bit of inner tube.

Great choice- my first was a classic #2. It’s blossomed from there. At the price you just can’t beat them. I love Moras. Get a companion after this high wears off. You’ll be happy you did.

Oh I’m for Sure gonna get a few others once the new wears off this one. But I wanted the classic for my first

Took it out for a hike today scouting for turkeys. Did some minor whittling and cutting just to get a feel for it.

For such a “big” knife it is actually nice to carry around the neck. Barely felt it all day.

I really like the smallest 1/0. I like to pic up old models and restore them. The smallest model is 14cm and is a great little knife to have in the glovebox, bottom kitchen drawer and so on. Whenever I need a blade for dirty work like scraping the label of a jar or sharpening a potato stick

All mora knives are good,for price theyre best!They outperform most higher price knives for any outdoor activity too.

Mora and Opinel. All else is vanity.

I've been dancing around picking up a new No. 10 Carbone for a few days now. I believe you just forced my hand!

I have so many Moras it is silly. I love them all, great design, execution and price!

My first Mora was this Clipper, chosen because it has the thinnest blade. Like and use it a lot.
Its cutting ability, ergos and cushy grip are all notable. The sheath is well-designed, light, practical and surprisingly excellent in use.

After months of both outdoor and kitchen duties, I wanted a stainless Mora and selected the Basic for its shorter blade and extremely low cost.

Overall, it'a a very satisfying little FB. I can now agree with Henry Beige , "...all else is vanity".

My only one is a Companion, very comfortable to use.

What have you done to the blade, it looks like its made of beer

The 125th Anniversary Original Classic in 14C28N is slightly larger than a No.2

My first Mora was this Mora 120 with carbon blade under 2.5".
(It's also my only Mora so far, but I'll probably pick up a Basic 511 sometime soon.)
