Survival Guru's~ Help plaese?

its allmost unbelieveable the amount you get from a mora, soo mch worth the money.
 
2 Me, Ugly is Fugly is Beautiful.The artists have a name for it... 'Kitch'. The Kitchier, the better! We used to say 'funky' in the 70's remember? It's a funky pice of art that gets the job done on the cheap.

I like Mora's but that 2000 is UGly. I bet it cuts nicely though.

+1 more on the Ontario RAT-7( I dont own one but will in a couple of weeks) Currently i carry the Cold Steel Military Classic it is a good blade as well.
 
Get two knives for camping use.
One for cutting things that you are not going to eat and one for things you are to eat.
That way you doesnt end up with tomates tasting TufCloth or sausage tasting tar.
Get a Fallkniven S1 for things not to eat and a Mora 2000 or Fallkniven WM1 for food.
Keep the WM1 in a neck sheath and it will not get lost.
In my youth my parents etc was not knife nuts and brought a plastic handled Mora knife for outdoor things.
That knife could have been used for about anything before.
Now I bring a Fallkniven F1 everywhere, I would like to have an S1 or A1 but in Sweden you mostly use a saw or axe for cutting stuff.
I think that you get quality no matter brand if you buy a knife for about USD100, as long as the knife is not marketed with words like "special forces-swat-kill-rambo-extreme-hero-combat" and have a compass in the handle :)

If I didnt have about twelve Fallkniven already I would get a S1/Wm1 or A1/Wm1 combo.
 
RAT-7 in D2 or standard Ka-bar . The shorter Ka-bar Utility / Fighting Knives (5.45" blade) seem to be more practical for general outdoors use than the 7" blade.
 
You all ready have a great knife for most things with your mora, so if your going to add a larger knife why don't you go all the way and get one in the 9" range. The chopping power with just two more inches is incredible. Will work as a short machete, light Axe, etc. There are some good deals available if you shop around.
Here are some of the knives I have bought in the 9"+ in the last three months.
Ka-bar heavy bowie #1277 9.25" blade .25 thick flat ground 1095 steel $45.00 with shipping
Kershaw outcast 10" blade in D2 steel less than $55.00
Becker combat bowie 9" blade .21 thick flat ground 1084/5 steel $86.00 with shipping
Ontario spec plus 10" blade $58.00
My only point is you don't have to break the bank to get a decent big blade. There are a lot of other realty nice knives I just wanted to point out some that I thought were great values.
 
Very, very sound advice indeed.I actually have an S1 coming. I guess I'm going to compare a few similar sized blades in the 'Outdoors' / Bushcraft category. The two small Moras I have here are outstanding- you're right, other than prying, they can do anything much better than many other knives costing many times more. The ergonomics on these grips are amazing!
