Well eventually I'm gonna cave and pick up a mora, though I'm holding out as long as I can because I don't need it, really. I'm partial to the triflex craftsmen, seems pretty tough, differentially tempered 1095 and all; but is there a tougher model, say the 2000 maybe? Kinda funky grind, but if its tough its tough....
 
I would not pry with my 2000 but I can tell you it is one hellacious cutting machine. Cliff wrote a review on the 2000 maybe he will post it here?
 
All of them are OK. Obviously, they aren't prybars. I have a few, including the 2000, which I got from Normark with one of his sheaths. I also have the scruffy little Swedish Army green handled version. :)

ALL of them cut well, and make great paring knives, utility knives, fishing knives (you might want stainless for this).

Prybar they are not. If you plan on using it like a Busse..... wrong knife. I would say (and I have used many) the Tri flex is a good choice. Not necessarily better than the rest, but should serve you well. :thumbup:
 
Actually, if you want a really tough, durable, prybar of a "Mora" don't get a Mora or similar thin blade, get a stronger Scandinavian knife or puukko, many of which are made as survival knives. Look at the Fallkniven small WM1 or large H1, look at the Roselli or Jarvenpaa hunting knives on www.ragweedforge.com

I couldn't believe the H1 when I got mine. I knew it had a thick blade, but it's a good 1/4". With its convex edge, it slices nicely, but it's not a knife that's going to snap on you out in the wilds.

I just got one of the scruffy little Swedish Army green models, the Frost 711-G, the most comfortable handle of all my moras, love it:thumbup: Edited to correct knife manufacturer...Ericksson #711, not Frost.

Esav,
You are absolutly correct about the H1 being one tough knife, now all you have to do it get one of the H1/3G's. I have the solid VG-10 as well as the H1/3G and you will be amazed at how the HEAVY knive will hold an edge.

Long live Fallkniven!
