This Is One Of My First Post, The Last One Got Deleted, For Miscellaneous Reasons
But I'd Like To Share My Small Mora Of Sweden Collection, I Make These By Hand On My Free Time. If Anyone Recommends Something or Sees Are Of Improvement, Please Contribute, As I Am In My Early Stage Of Handle Making.
The First One I Made, It Has, Birch And Another Wood Im Not Sure Of,
I Do Make These Out Of Recycled Wood, As A More Eco-Friendly Way.

This Is Compared To an Unmodified Mora, As You See, The Handle Is Quite Longer For A Better Grip.

Here We Have Another One, This One Has a Swept Up Torpedo Handle, It Feels Nice In The Hand, Cedar And Birch, Again, My Favorite Unknown Dark Wood. I Think The Cedar Adds A Lovely Effect On The Dark Red Side, What I Found Is That, Without A Drill Press and Chop Saw, Keeping The 90 Degree Angle And A 90 Degree Slot or Hole For The Blade Is Hard, That's Why The Handle Is Swept up, A Wood Chop Saw And Small Drill Press Oughta Fix This.

Here We Have Yet Another Blade, This One has Cloth Between The Layers, Duck Cloth To Be Exact. It Seems To Take Up A Lot More Epoxy, Since You Need To Saturate The Cloth Fully With Epoxy,

Here We See The Hilt Of The Knife, Its Very Well Fitted,
I Heated Up A Double Bastard Cut Metal File And With The Tail Burned A Perfect Slot For It, It Ges Filled With Epoxy And Also Adds To The Rustic Look
