New Mora coming out soon! "HighQ Robust"

[baldtaco-II]

Apparently in Sweden they do! It's consistent throughout their site. Seen it on plenty of sites that use Euro currency, but it's true that I made a broad generalization.I agree with Shotgun in that I find thin Scandi's preferable, but lots of folks seem to like the thicker ones. Could be fun to put a full-height convex on it, though!

The decimal thing is a bit of an odd mashup....... Depending on whether they command a realistic price here then yeah that could be a fun project. The biggest incentive to me is the handle. For starters that sticks them above the Hultasfors or the 3 for £10 regular Moras that I mostly ignore.

On their site they state its use
AREAS OF USE
Construction and DIY

So it looks like they are aiming for their domestic market
Who else uses a fixed blade on a construction site?

I do everyday. I carry a MORA 511 in my tool bags..sharpens pencils, back cut cope cuts and miters, makes custom chunks of wood for whatever, clean out rabbits, cut shipping bands and boxes. That sort of stuff.

This one sounds pretty cool. I think I want one.

You always make broad generalizations.

Yep, and as a rule we don't do that. ;-)

I see what you did there.

How am I going to chop down a tree with a Mora #1?!? Obviously I'm not going to bring an Axe into the woods with me...come on, that would just be dumb. Do you have any idea how often I need to chop down trees when I'm in the woods?!? Literally all the time

You mean that you don't know the Mors Kochansky methods for taking down up to 4" saplings by slicing? -Or the method for taking down larger trees? The methods exist and are quite simple, the latter even requires a true batoning technique.

And then you can stand on the handle!

I don't know what the specs are, but my 911s (I think they are discontinued now) seem like they are a little beefier than the other Moras I own or have owned. This one looks similar.

Admittedly, that is not something I'd be willing to try.

Looks like a nice knife. You can pre-order it on a Swedish website for about $21 USD.

I wouldn't want to either, but I've seen a video of a guy do it, and the knife was only a third of the way into the tree. He even bounced up and down on it a little.

Personally, I find it kinda sad that Mora is jumping on the "thicker is better" bandwagon. But I suppose they need to meet current demand.

People can pretty-much do everything they'll ever need with a basic & skinny Mora #1, -if they knew what they were doing.

So if people use a #2 they don't know or if they use a #2/0 they know more?

edit.

Carbon mora clipper is thin but the High Q Carbon is just as thin (Mora#1 thin) but the blade is less wide. Cuts like crazy. So if people want a Clipper handle and thin blade there are options. If they want a thicker blade there are now options. I see this as a win for those who like Mora knives.

The 911 is a great knife. Not sure what Mora was thinking?

 

[Bo T]

Looks like a nice knife. I have the 911, an older 511, and the bushcrafter triflex and the are all at 2.5 mm (0.098") thick.

 

[Harayasu]

Nice knife. I should really add some more Mora's to my fixed blade options.

BTW, here in the Netherlands we use both the comma and period. The period to make numbers easier to read and the comma to seperate the decimals, like in 1.234.567,89.

Didn't they just absorb it into the Bushcraft series? Or are the blades different?

And the laminated blades are 2.7 mm
So 3.2 is not far off...

No I think the 911/946 has the same blade as the 711/746. My Triflex is on top, 911 in the middle and 746 on bottom.

911.

Triflex.

The only carbon Bushcraft model is the Triflex and near as I can tell that is a 780 blade with 911 handle. The rest are 12c27 and based on the larger Mora 2000 blade even for the pure scandi ones. I gave away my 946 do to a preference for 1095 over 12c27, not that this is a bad stainless. I think the triflex is progressively tempered with a softer spine and would be a negative for use with quartz and chaga/charcloth. I have tired 12c27 in a Mora 546 G and couldn’t get a spark on a rock.

I also prefer the 911’s sheath because it clips on my belt like the older clipper. I need to take my belt off to remove the Triflex. The 911 was ½ the price. IMO it’s a better bushcraft knife but 100% happy with the Triflex. I also like the Mora # 2 and have a big soft spot for the #1/0 used as a necker.

I look forward to the new beefier Clipper/Companion Mora.

 

[facablade]

I need one of this is one of the best MORA handel/blade combination.
Where can I buy two ;-)

 

[WhiteOwl]

Meh...I hate thick scandis.:barf: I don't see what's wrong with the thin ones that needed fixing personally.

Exactly. There is no reason for a thick scandi. They should make a full tang 510 or clipper in a premium or even just different steel. Maybe have a kydex or leather option and keep it under 50 bucks.
