Well..I find myself without a scandi ground knife so I would like to trade for a Mora,preferably with a wood handle I can mod like I do Opinels & no guards, but a guard or plastic handle is not a deal breaker.
Users are fine too.
I have handle materials & folders to offer......
First is various antler pieces,2 sets of orange G10 scales & the chunk of Granadillo.
(Granadillo is another dense fine textured tropical hardwood from Central America. The heartwood color is a dark reddish brown. It is used for both veneers and lumber and can be figured.)

And the folders....
#1 is a 1964 Camillus I got with a broken spring for the screw driver & can opener blades so I removed the broken spring,the CO and SC/BO blades & made a single layer out of it.
It's nice & thin & the remaining spring for the spear point main & punch is nice & strong.
Scratches on the blades & scales.
#2 is an Old Timer 108OT with the main blade broken & reshaped into a sort of sheepsfoot.(very pointy.)
Very good snap on all blades with a nice natural patina.No cracks & little wear in the brown saw cut delrin scales.
#3 is a no name SS hobo knife,good for camping/hiking or throwing in a BOB.
#4 is a Craftsman 9541 Jack knife.Good snap,natural patina.No cracks and little wear in the brown jigged delrin scales.
#5 is a Craftsman 95023 pen knife with a file for the secondary.Blades are SS.Wear marks on blades & the file files.
No cracks in the black saw cut delrin scales,but they are worn like it was carried plenty,especially on the back side.
Good snap on both blades.

Email or PM for more pics and fair offers if interested in trading all or any combination of the bunch for one or two Moras.(or equivalent)![]()
Thanks lem.,email back atcha.I like what you did with that old Camillus I sent you way back in the PIF Thread, love the spear/awl single spring combo. I just sent you an email for a possible trade.
Got a handful of knives to trade off and a maxpedition neat freak. Open to any and all offers.
here is a link to the bag no shoulder strap. http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/NEATFREAK-ORGANIZER-p58.htm
Thanks Ray!I'll check my antler supply in the morning. I'd love one of your Opinels.
Thanks Ray!
PM sent Ray.I don't think these meet your criteria. Just barely in the 3/4" dia. range. Found the bigger of the 2 just Saturday but it looks like it was dropped winter of 13 and is bleached and chewed. The other little one was found quite a few years ago. Little but in good shape. Just for fun I'm including a photo of a really beautiful and near flawless 11 point set. Would be sad to cut these up for knife scales though I've yet to have ambition to use them otherwise. Also, I'm currently listing a flawless 6 point set on eBay but I think it's the wrong season for selling those on the Bay.
If you are interested in any or both of the singles let me know. I don't think that they are worthy of one of the Opinels.
