I still see some on the bay and checking the Mora site, yes 4-5 of the woodcrafting knives are still laminated. I was thinking of the Classic Laminated Series knives like the #2, the 137 and the 2/0. The 137 was renamed the Morakniv Original 1 and went up about $25-$30.

That increase is the amount I paid for mine a couple of weeks ago.
Also, you can still get a new Mora Original Classic #1 Laminated on line for $34. Most other places they are about $40-$45. Prices came down.

:thumbup: That was a good buy!
The last new birchwood handled Mora I bought was listed as an "No 1 Classic Original" but turned out to be a discontinued laminated #2 with the 4 1/8" blade. I was a happy camper for $25. It's an earlier Morakniv edition as it still has the wider blade of the old Frosts Classics. See the difference?
Earlier top, 2013 model bottom....
Here is a 90's era Frosts (top) with the wide blade for comparison...
The sizes below it are #1, #1.0 and #2.0.
And finally a 60's era Frosts with an even wider blade (and a repainted handle from the previous owner)...

I have made several custom handled Mora knives using their blade blanks. This one is probably my favorite so far. I gave it to my brother last Christmas.

Not yet, but the thought has crossed my mind. They take me so long to complete in my limited spare time that I think I would have to charge astronomical prices to make it worthwhile!!! I doubt anyone would be willing to pay $200 for a custom Mora, and even at that price, I would only make about $20/hour.
