Howdy folks-
I received a real winner in the mail today! It's a blade Brendan have been discussing on and off for a few weeks, a Mora 2000 with a beefy handle! I do love my M2K, but the handle has always been a teensy bit on the thin side for me. This new one rectifies that and then some! It's very well rounded and rotund, but not too much so. It also has a more distinct swell that's located closer to the edge, to really push your hand into a secure position for optimal control. There is a slight taper in the profile towards the butt, which also aids in security.
The material is natural canvas micarta, which came out great. Very warm, soft feeling in the hand. I've tried it in numerous grips and was very satisfied. And as usually the M2K blade makes for awesome slicing ability! Almost silly. This one, like most that I've handled, has a couple of small chips in the edge. Obviously not to do with Brendan, they must not care for this too much at the factory.
The sheath is a piece of work in and of itself of course. Brendan does a unique blend of new and old, but it never abandons an 'authentic' feel to it. Instead of a long the rear, a firesteel holder sits high and to the right on the sheath. There is a very ample belt loop that's been securely riveted in. The blade fit is extremely solid, I would be very comfortable carrying it upside down even! Very handsome, very functional.
