Yea, he doesn't.
Sometimes he is away for a rendezvous or a fair, and that might add a few days to the process, but most of my orders arrive in 3 days too.:thumbup: :thumbup:

I ordered a #1 a sheepsfoot,and tradsman a few weeks ago,They came in 2 or 3 days as well,great guy to do buissness with:thumbup:
Yep, you guys were right. Not only did HE communicate with me directly, (and promptly too) the knives were here FAST. This guy must not ever leave his shop, to be able to do everything he does, and do it well. He's like that commerical about the comcast internet. (you know, they pour a little 'speed' from the internet cable onto the guy, and he goes like a million miles an hour for a few seconds? I don't know, must be a michigan thing lol)
He has to put in 65 hours a week doin this. I'm impressed.
Well I ordered the #S-0125 "sport fishing" knife, and a triflex craftsman.
I always knew about moras, but never used one, or really looked one over really well. The only time I ever handled one, is when they were selling them on this table at our gun and knife show. They looked really cheap to me, and I put them down. I knew they were tough, but that's about it.
Well after I got mine, I noticed they were very small, insignificant knives right off the bat. Very cheap looking and flimsy. But after I started messing around with them, I noticed they were very nice cutters/slicers. The sport fishing knife was thinner and cheesier than I had anticipated, but I ordered it for a kitchen knife. I soon found out that it was a perfect size, and not too stiff, but not too flexible either. It was razor sharp, highly polished, and cut thru everything like butter. It's blade and handle is impervious to anything you could ever throw at it. It has a bit of a belly, which I really like. Overall, I think she's going to outcut anything I currently have in the kitchen. With ease. Not bad.
The triflex craftsmen is a bit thicker than I thought. This is a serious blade. It's not flexible at ALL. It's like a 'real' knife if you will. And BOY is this thing pointy as a pin and sharp as a razor blade. Shaving sharp. I mean like light sabre sharp. I wouldn't want to get cut by this knife. It's sharp from the very point, alll the way down to the hilt, and that's squared away. When checking the edge with your finger, be careful, as it will shear the fingerprints right off your finger in a hurry. Believe me when I tell you the edge on this thing is no joke.
It's on the small side, but albeit a very handy sized belt knife for hunting, or plain old camping. For serious camping, that you'd find yourself roughing it, like I'm sure most of you here do, I'm not sure it would have a niche there. As for the size, it's the same handle length, blade length, and overall length as my spyderco military. Plus my spyderco is a touch thicker too. If I were to carry this, I mind as well just carry the spyderco instead. It's more portable due to being a pocket folder. And for a belt knife, I'd always have either a kabar or a ranger knives RD9. So if you really look at it, it's size makes it a bit obsolete for me. But for just plain old campin with the family, or a few friends, I'm very sure it can more than handle the typical campsite tasks. This knife seems very tough, lightweight, chemical/oil proof, silent, and theres a hole in the handle to dummy cord it to your belt as well. The sheath is quiet and easy to use, and is secure enough for civilian campsite activities. If you break this knife, then you must have been doin some stupid stuff with it.
I'm quite satisfied overall with the knife. It's actually a serious chunk of carbon steel, and for 11 bucks, it was WELL worth it in my opinion. And to be honest, I think this knife is decent enough, to render a traditional drop point hunter from say al mar, or marbles, pointless. Why spend 400 dollars on a 4" belt knife, when you could just buy a carbon mora, and do the same exact things with? If you're a plain old camper/hunter, and prefer just a basic multi tool and a 4" belt knife, this knife would MORE than foot the bill. For the money, I'm very impressed, and now see why people buy 5 and 6 of these knives. You don't need to worry if you break or lose one, and they're just as sharp and rugged as almost any knife out there.

This is one of the more popular Mora sites, if not the MOST popular. Nothing but good reports about fast shipping, and super service.

I really like the Triflex Craftsman. I prefer the carbon knives to the stainless, they just seem to take a sharper edge and hold it better. Now that I have the SBT the Triflex is going in a kit as a back-up knife. Moras don't weigh much and they are very compact. I have more than a dozen Moras now but I was very happy with the Triflex. It takes a wicked edge and feels sturdier than the SWAK. Mac
