Pit impressed with Mora !!!!

Easy.They use fast assembly line methods to make these suckers. The blanks are stamp cut, probably in 4-6 layers to save time and money.They are not full tang, they uses robots to grind & finish the blades and the plastic handle is the quintessential shortcut. The key is that once they got the steel type , blade profile and grind just 'so' it then just becomes a cookie cutter process :D Oh! No fancy packaging advertising or many returns for warranty repair help keep the prices down. They may also be subsidized as in Swedish Government Subsidized ;)

People who have been on here a while will know that I often have cheap cracks at Mora's. Truth be told Pit Jr and myself do often use a Mora for cutting up fish and stuff but I have never really tried it when it's been real sharp !
Anyways I thought that I would get the Mora shaving sharp and then compare it to a couple of my other bushcraft type blades.
I tested them all at various wood whittling tasks and I have to be honest and say that I was really impressed with the little Mora:eek:!!! My Koster Nessie still kicked it's butt, although not by much, but it out cut my Temperance !
Anyway here are pics of the knives next to the fuzz sticks they made.....

So I guess I'm eating a little humble pie as those Mora's can really cut. I would stil not trust carrying one as my only fixed blade but with how little they weigh, they are perfect for tossing in the pack as a back-up blade or even to use for all those finer cutting tasks !!!;):thumbup:

What's that cleaver looking knife with the micarta grips?
 
Everybody should have a couple of Moras! I've got my share of friends and relations who aren't very knife-aware, and Moras make great loaners. The guy who asks to borrow my knife is always eying up the nicest one. Fool me twice? No way! Here's a Mora...and a free bump.
 
Best $11 I ever spent! I use the heck out of mine.

Moras might be "throw away" knives in Sweden , but I'm keeping mine!

They can be used hard & still be able to do some finer work:
