Recently I've been getting inspiration to make another handle for a Mora. I've done it only once before. I am interested in seeing what you guys have done.

Here's my one and only custom Mora:

And plans for my next one:

Lemme see what you've done with your blanks!
 
Hey cool, awesome and inexpensive little knives. I have this one that I did a while back and really needs to get used more than it does.

Do the Moras have a full, half or a rat tail tang with the original rubber/plastic around it?
 
The tang is a rat tail and they had no handles,Ragnar sells either the whole knife or just the blade.

They vary from Mora to Mora. To my knowledge, the classics have a rat tail tang. Mine isn't full tang, but I wouldn't call it a rat tail tang either (it's a little little bit thicker). I'd call it a 3/4 tang. The blade I used is the same as the Mora 2000, and I bought it from Ebay as a blank. Here's a picture before I glued the handles together:
