Where did you find full tang Moras? I would like to buy one too.

Thanks RescueRiley and Noss. I like the tang of Mora 2000 although not full it is the closest aproxination to full tang.

All the wood handled ones have a full length tang, just not full width.

Actually I think Frosts makes fulltang "lapplander" moras.
Also available as blanks

But they are quite expensive compared to all basic designs and AFAIK only available in stainless.

Wonder what they worth.

I'll be D-testing a Chris Reeve Green Beret in about 1 week also the Ranger Rd-7
very soon. I'm going to test the CR first.

So you'll be doing field testing before the D-tests as well?
Cool, I'm looking forward to the next vids!

hmmmm.....
Have you considered testing one of Chris Reeves hollow handled knives?

Ravaillac: Cool !! I found the blanks on the net.

tholiver: I'm not going to field test the Green Beret. I will test for function like always at the beginning of the test. Cutting,chopping, batoning.

I want to test a Chris Reeve one piece. I hope to get to one eventually.
