For some reason, my dogs have always been attracted to Mora knives. A few years ago, not long after I had taken delivery, one of my Aussies got hold of my first Mora 612 and gnawed the handle to the point where it was uncomfortable to hold. I salvaged it by covering the damage with a length of bicycle inner tube. Even though I have bought other Moras since, that 612 has always been my favorite.

This year, just before the holidays, Charlie the poodle got into the box of assorted Moras I had picked up to give as Christmas gifts. He went unerringly to one of the 612s, and then managed to gnaw on an orange-trimmed Companion. As a result of no-shows at the various family holiday functions, I found myself with two knives left over. My son had chosen the dog-eaten 612 so he could have one "just like Dad's", which left me with an unmolested 612 still in the packaging it came in. This knife is the same size as a Mora No.2, with a red painted handle, carbon blade and a single guard.

The other is the Companion, slightly gnawed on the belt clip and tip of the sheath. There are also tooth marks on the pommel and rubber handle. This knife has a stainless blade. This knife has never been used except as a doggie toy, still grips comfortably and doesn't look too bad.

The lucky winner will get his or her choice of these knives. The remaining knife is destined for a GAW on a gun forum which, like this one, is the best, friendliest forum on the internet. Please be a regular member of the traditional forum. Post to say you are in, and say which knife you would prefer. If you have never owned a Mora, just say so, and post again to give yourself another chance.

I've never had a Mora. I'm in.
If I win, I think either one would be great. So I'll leave the choice to you.
 
I'm in, and I've had several Mora knives. If I win, I'd take the Companion, it would be a nice re-handling project.
 
Not an entry, because I've been making a pig of myself with all the GAWs running at the same time. Also, I bought a carbon 510 yesterday.
Otherwise, I'd be in for that 612.

Thanks for a great GAW.
 
Cool giveaway, with a nice back story :) Not an entry for me please, I have had, and have, lots of Moras, be nice to see someone else win :) Thanks, and good luck to everyone :thumbup:
 
I'm one of those odd members here that hasn't acquired a Mora yet either.

I'm in for that classic red handle!

While I certainly think that it would be hard for one to have too many Moras, I would like the knife to go to someone who doesn't have one yet. So I am not in.

But if I were in, it would be hard to pick since I both knives are attractive in their own ways. Nice GAW.
 
I'm in and thanks ! Never had a Mora so I'll post twice. Doggie one for me, please, or612
Thanks, Neal
