New Mora Craftline Allround knife

[North]

I just received a new Mora knife, one of their Craftline Series, the Allround. At first glance it is similar in appearance to the 840 or 860 in that the handle has the same general shape and the blade is Scandi ground. Comparing it to my 840, the rubber covered grip area has a different texturing than the Clipper series and I find that the new handle surface has a “stickier” or more secure feel. The stainless blade is thicker than my carbon steel 840 measuring .100” thick at the spine while my 840 is .079. Also the spine is nicely ground while the 840 spine has a rough, unfinished appearance.

From the same internet auction seller that I got the knife from I purchased a leather sheath that will fit this knife or my 840 Mora. It is heavy leather, well stitched and fits the new knife snugly.

I am looking forward to trying the new knife out, till then here are a couple of pictures. You can see the difference in the spine thickness, blade finish, and the handle texture.

Very cool, I like that one. Where did you find it, if you don't mind my asking? I like the leather sheath, too.

moonwilson, I don't think I should post a link to an internet auction here but if you want to pm or email me I'll be glad to let you know.

Just ordered one. Had a real hard time resisting the Neverlost Clipper, though. Probably would have bought the Neverlost M2K if they sold 'em. Maybe Ragnar will have them soon. Moonwilson, I sent you the link in a PM.

Ooh, I like that. Wonder how deep the tang is.. happen to have a good magnet?

 

[raindog101]

Will,
I can check that for you when it gets here, if someone else doesn't do it first...

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Cool man, that'd be great. :thumbup:

 

[ZombaiO]

Cool ! I want one

 

[GhostWolf]

Can someone PM me that link. Please.

Nevermind, I forgot my gold membership expired.

 

[JD Mandrell]

Just ordered one myself!

 

[Kiah]

Someone shoot me a link too. I always need more Moras.

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Where's the source for these, mates?

I just ordered one from a big on-line auction site that I really hate. It's the only place I found one. BTW -- the seller had three more for sale, I believe.

I really like the looks of this one! Thanks for letting us know it's out there, Bill. Everybody get busy and start stimulating the knife economy!

Stay sharp,

Yep, just do a search for "Mora Craftline", and it should come right up.

i contacted the mora distributer in the united states and they have the new moras in stock.

Oh yeah, if anyone has a magnet handy and wouldn't mind getting a tang-depth, that'd be sweet!

 

[j williams]

Man, I actually like that one... Im gonna have to score me one..

Just got mine today. I'll echo what North said in his review, pretty much to the letter. The main differences from your standard Clipper:
thicker blade with finished spine
grippier handle
slightly wider scandi bevel, to take into account the increased blade thickness
nicer sheath than your standard Clipper (esp the belt clip: nice and sturdy)
slightly heavier
And darn, wouldn't you know I can't find my magnet, to see how long the tang is (sorry, Will). Anyway, for $15 you can't really go wrong, now can you?
