The new Mora 2010 model, pictures.

The handle is the same as the KJ Eriksson #911 and #946. #911 (carbon) is bottom left, and the #946 (stainless) is bottom right:

I find the handles have a great feel to them. I prefer these handles over the other Eriksson rubber handles, and over the Mora Clipper and Allround handles. Adding the Mora 2000-type blade is a nice touch, but I do not think the price should exceed that of the Mora 2000. I will wait for Ragnar to acquire the model before I consider a purchase.

which knife is the one in the top left?
it looks like a longer mora, and this (to my mind) sounds like a good thing.

and then I read the last two posts, and realise the thread has only just been resurected. :foot:

It looks like it might be a Mora C-223.
 
Top right looks like a C-223. Top left appears to be a carbon #731. 5 3/4" blade.

actually, I'm glad you didn't, the c-223 looks even more interesting. although at first I thougt it looked like a cooking knife....
and neither seem to be available in the UK :grumpy: (although this is probably a good thing for my bank balance, there are allready too manny things I'm having to stop myself buying)
 
The 223 is pretty much a kitchen knife. It's big, but has a thin blade. Great for slicing, not enough mass to do more than snap cuts at thinner weeds/branches. I initially got one hoping it would be sort of a modern Leuku but it didn't have enough mass for that. Great slicer and camp kitchen blade though.

fair enough. ragweed forge where advertising it as being suitable as a camp knife, so I did have visions of something capeable of doing a bit more chopping. oh well, the 731 still looks nice.
I think I might have to lock my wallet away.

Yeah, I usually agree with most of R's descriptions but I dunno about that one. To mew it was too thin. In fairness though, a couple other guys in my outdoors circle got them and seemed happy enough with them. I think they basically treated them like light machetes.
 
I love the 2000 for food prep - it's great :thumbup:
But for outdoor stuf I prefer something with a stronger tip - the tip of the 2000 can be bent during batoning...Especially cross-grain batonning :(
