Yesterday, I decided that me and the wifey would like to have some Sheeshkabobs (sp?) for dinner last night. So I decided what the heck use the Mora 2K for slicing everything just to see how it performed.
So here are the pics(sorry about the quality. I used my cell phone camera)
The specs for the Mora 2k- 4.5" of stainless steel with a scandi grind, .095" thick with a distal taper, its roughly 7/8" wide at the handle, the handle has a kind of like a rubbery coating to it over a plastic handle(very comfy and grippy to me).
A shot of the knife and sheath. The sheath I think is ugly as heck, but it's better than the other mora sheaths that I have used.

Now off to the to victims for dinner.
The steak previously cut by the Mora marinating in good stuff.

Everything sliced up and ready for the Bamboo skewers.

Here's everything ready to go on the grill for grand finally, dinner.

Impressions: I felt very confident when I was using it to slice everything, especially when cutting the meat. Even when my hands were full of slime and juices the grip still felt...well grippy. Cleaning up was easy and straight to the point. The stainless is a plus when it exposed to water. However, I did have to replace the sponge because I darn near cut it in half cleaning it. OOps. I know that this is no way to test the egde retention of it, but the edge never even dulled when cutting everything on the cutting board. Would it replace any of my kitchen knives? No, but it will do fine at a food prep in the bush.
I know that this isn't the best review for it, but I tried. LOL. Hope you guys enjoy this small review. Hopefully I will do another when I get the chance doing camp chores in the near future.

thanks for the review, good to hear that it did well.

did the blade bind in the onions at all? i have had that happen to me with a mora before, but mine might be a bit thicker, i'm not sure.
 
Thanks, It binded a bit when compared to a regular kitchen knife, but I think it might be from the suction on the side of the knife.
 
Good review GEC; the Mora 2000 is my wife's favorite camp knife. I actually got a Kydex sheath from Normak, but my wife likes the standard one as she uses it to blow (from the top out through the two holes in the bottom) on the coals to get a fire going when it's just about out. This allows her to keep her head (and hair:eek:) out of the fire pit.

I know pdog will be disappointed in me :rolleyes:, but I only have 4 Moras so far, none of which are a 2K. I have to pick one up one of these days as all the reviews I have seen have been positive.

yea, yea great knife... What kind of marinade you got going on over there? That looks good!
 
I have had a box of the Mora 2000's for several years. Great knives for the money in terms of performance, quality, and comfort. Yes, the 12C27 is a pretty decent steel to work with, too.

If one slightly rounds and polishes the shoulders on the grind, binding issues will usually stop. With the higher ground Scandi knives, binding is not a problem because they lack the prominent shoulders.
