Thinking about trying a Mora

[MathewLinder]

I’m just looking for something relatively cheap I can use around the house, on the boat, etc. I actually like the plastic sheath, it seems like it would be a great knife to carry as I usually wear overalls.

Am I on the right track or do you guys have some others I should look at?

Thanks!

Look at the PUUKKO as well. I tend to carry a large folder instead of a small fixed blade; the net effect is about equal but for me the folder is easier to carry. If you get a Mora, you will have a good knife.

Go for it! Too cheap to fuss about. The Companion model is a good start. Or the Robust, if you know you'll use it hard.

It's cheap. What's there to think about? Just get one.

Wanna go for a little more? Try the Terävä Jääkäripuukko from Varusteleka. It's a very strong knife in great steel with great HT, all for under $50 (but the sheath will cost extra).

How can you go wrong with a basic stainless Mora @around $10. We keep a bunch of them stashed in all the vehicles, fishing bags, hunting bags, boat box, yard shed, etc... For around double the price I got a nice heavy duty carbon steel one too, pictured below. Just get one and don’t give it a second thought, you will be happy with it.

They are great. I have half a dozen of them. Just bought a Kansbol as well . . . lovely.

Good thing is, you won't beat yourself up if you lose it . . . unlike if you lose a Bark River or Fallkniven.

I wouldn't try to order by phone !

 

[Ruukuu]

Yes . . the Terävä knives are excellent. I have the Skrama 240 and 80. Together you never need another knife.

Yeah but when I use enough dots over the letters, people assume it's real!

Do it! I have a Mora classic #2 and I love it.
Will it be the last knife you ever buy? probably not.
But it could be if you wanted it to be.

Mora Companion, including plastic sheath, permanently inserted into an ebay auction sheath. About £25 all together.

Perkele! Finns actually speak English well, just with funny accent.

I've never owned a bad Mora. Dollar for dollar they're amazing knives. You really can't go wrong.

 

[tknife]

Every knife lover, or even anyone who just needs to cut stuff should own at least one Mora. They really are pretty amazing, and punch well above their weight.

Mora - best bang for the buck on the planet.

Mora - best bang for the buck on the planet.

You mean, best bang for the buck in the universe.

Inexpensive AND good. Buy several.

Think about a Marttiini Condor Timberjack.

Yeah, good luck with that philosophy here.... or did I mean to say heresy?
