How good is the Mora classic 1? I saw that there is a 60 dollar version where the birch handle is not painted red but just treated and the steel is laminated instead of carbon.the carbon classic 1 is like 15 bucks on amazon . Thoughts?
The laminated will hold the edge longer. It can take a bend and be bent back to true without breaking. The #1 has a small handle and I personally prefer the #2. You will find the regular carbon classic to be very useful and easy to sharpen unless You are spoiled by using supersteels. My favorite is a more than 30 year old laminated #2 with my own handle. Still going strong. in the sheath Regards Mikael
T thank you for sharing! So you think the carbon version would last me for years and years like yours if i take Care of it?
Yes absolutely! I have an inherited Mora #2 in carbon that belonged to my Father In Law. Still in very useable condition. Regards Mikael
I like everything they make, get the $15 version first - the value is excellent, if you want a more fancy version later, go for it : )
