A Mora Robust and a svord peasent. The mora is great and was only $12. It came pretty dull but I got it scary sharp with a little tlc. This is the first scandi grind I've owned and it is no challenge at all to hold the bevel when sharpening. I can see why they're so popular. Now on the other side of the coin I'm pretty disapointed in the svord. It cost over double the price of the mora and the workmanship is abysmal. The blade is warped from heat treat so it sticks in the scales, the handle scales feel totally unfinished and are not even sanded enough to meet, completely lopsided crap grind, crap edge. I was expecting it to be at least as good as an opinal. I don't know why these things are popular. As a group we ostracize chinese knives that are made 10x better than this thing. This is literally like a pakastan special only with decent carbon steel so it may be salvageable. I am going to see if I can take this 1/2 done knife and make a usable blade out of it. but to be fair to the consumer these should be called knife kits lol.
