I just saw on Ragnar's Ragweed Forge that Mora of Sweden has a new line called the Mora Bushcraft series. Does anyone know much about these new Mora's? Do these have the longer tang of the Erickson Mora's, or the shorter, thicker tang of the Frosts? Of the four knives they offer under this series, three are stainless, while the fourth uses their tri-flex carbon steel. Any good?
 
It's the exact same blade as on the Mora 2000, save one edition, being the same blade but with a full scandi grind on it. The tang is just as long as on the 2000. I was at the yearly wilderness exhibition here in Stockholm just a few weeks ago and got to hold all the variants and I must say that it is an improvement. The handle is much more ergonomic and is far safer than the previous 2000. This new knife is often nick-named "2010", but it's unofficial, since I asked Mora at the exhibition and they called it something else and had never heard the term. Great knife, but it's not for sale yet. I wanted to buy one then and there, but they didn't want to sell them as of yet. The price will be 150SEK, which is about 21USD.

I'll be picking up the Force, and the Triflex models. Love that handle shape (I have a 911 as my shop knife), but never really liked the M2K blade. Glad to see they now have a big scandi blade (in triflex no less!) protruding from that comfy handle...
 
Looks like these are now for sale on Amazon with free shipping. The Bushcraft Force model looks really nice.....might have to pick one up
 
Don't know if the tang is any different between old and new but I can say the new Bushcraft Triflex is very nice comparing it to my older 780 Triflex. The finish is a lot better, handle is comfortable and the sheath is nicer. Still love my 780 though:) If I had to pick just one it would be the new Bushcraft.

 
I have the Mora 2010 which is actually the same as the Bushcraft Forest variant.
The blade features the same dramatic grind as the Mora 2000. It is in essence the same blade, but a bit shorter if I remember well.
I read somewhere that the tang is as deep in the handle as in the Mora 2000. Hence it will be very stable.
 
For those of you who have the Mora 2000 style blade, how does it compare to the blade on the Clipper and Triflex?
 
I recently got the Bushcraft Triflex and it has become my favorite Mora. I always likes the 911/946 handle the best, and this has that with a carbon triflex blade that's 1/4" longer. Also, the spine is finished and works well with a ferro rod. Unlike most Mora sheaths, the sheath for this one has a belt loop that fits real belts. Definitely a winner. :thumbup:
 
My friend and I just each received the new Bushcraft Triflex and it is one awesome knife. That new handle really takes the Triflex to a level that matches the blade. We each had the old black plastic handled version and while we loved the blade we felt the hard plastic betrayed the usefulness of the knife. Between the two of us we have pretty much every Scandi pattern Ragnar carries (and some he doesn't) and I think we agree that with this new handle the Triflex pretty much surpasses all the rest for usefulness.

One of the other impressive characteristics of the new handle is that whether I have it edge in or out in reverse grip, that front finger groove fits my hand really well.

I found it interesting that as I compared our two and then my old black handled model there were very noticeable variations between the three. Each blade is different in width, length of clip, sweep of the belly, height of the grind and narrowness of the point.

I have the 2000, but for my purposes, EDC as utility and self defense, I much prefer the point of the Triflex. It seems to me that the blade design of the 2000 is more specialized than the Bushcraft, Clipper and Craftline while these three are more general, which is what I prefer.

I especially like what they've done with the sheath and belt loop! For me, it carries perfectly inside the waist band. Up until now, I've bought a number of extra Clippers, cut off the belt clip and repositioned them just under the swell of the sheath for a high ride carry. No need for that with this new sheath. It's really great for IWB with reverse grip edge out. Repositioning was accomplished by scuffing up the sheath and the clip with a sponge nail file and then a liberal application of super glue.

The only complaint I have is with that light green color. It's way too bright and noticeable. I've been trying to darken it up with a permanent marker. The jury is still out on that one.

IMO, this new handle and sheath have finally matched the wonderful Triflex blade. I will be ordering another one I'm sure and I would heartily recommend it to anyone who's interested.
