I re-wrapped it once about 10 years ago, and I’ll probably do it once more when I retire (probably this yearJust wondering...do you re-do the wrapping every now and then or just let it "soak"?
The simplicity and the versatility coming from the blade length and the handle shape make Mora Classic 1/0 hard to beat for an EDC. The blade is thin enough to minimize the scandi grind's limitations for cutting certain media. Anyway, I put a micro bevel, invisible with naked eye of course, because excelling in cutting wood is not the highest priority for this knife of mine,Lately for me I've been carrying a Mora Classic 1/0 around with me. It's like a 3 inch, narrow blade.
I've carried up to 4" blades, but the letter of the law around here is about 4", so I prefer to generally carry under.
A 3 inch’ish fixed blade my preference is wharnies...
I always found it very un-American to think someone in an office could dictate what length of a blade I could carry. I suppose lots of law could be looked at like that but this one seems very much like my own business.Yeah. Nobody is getting arrested, but it’s a dumb law. Knives I carry are usually between three and four inches long. Fifteen years back, I made a point of wearing a fixed blade whenever I went to court to protest this nonsense.
(Edit: I’m an attorney. I was not a defendant bringing knives to court.)
Fixed blade carry in Michigan is no-go unless a hunting season is open. Coyote season open year round. Dumb law but at least qualified with a hunting season.I live in a Western state, Colorado. You can only carry knives this big for sporting purposes. Dumb law, but 3.5 inch limit is it.
Very nice knives but the ZEV's caught my eye.
Yeah, and yet walking into the office with a katana would really raise some eyebrows. Compromise is a very American concept.I always found it very un-American to think someone in an office could dictate what length of a blade I could carry.

Wow...I always found it very un-American to think someone in an office could dictate what length of a blade I could carry. I suppose lots of law could be looked at like that but this one seems very much like my own business.
