I have just ordered the Morakniv 2000,  and was wondering if anyone knew how the knife is,  having owned a Mora knife,  I'd say theyre pretty good,  I was stupid enough to throw away my blue handled Mora knife,  idk why I did that it twas a great knife....

---

Well, they are my favorite knives. I really like the scandi grinds, easy to keep sharp, and I find that the mora´s I own keep their edge incredibly long, especially in the light of the abuse I submit them to...
Ehm, you threw one away, on purpose...?

umm yeah on purpose... :'(

... sounds like there's a story there.

Weren´t you the one cutting yourself pretty bad during a whittling session recently? Was that maybe the reason you threw it away... ;)

havent got cut seriously with a knife for a long time,  soo no

Looked up the thread, it was xxxkid123 that needed the three stitches. So the mystery remains, why does someone throw away a fine knife...?

ehhh I don't really wanna talk about it,  its one of those stupid things,  we doo stupid things once in a while if not a lot,  idk

was alcohol involved by any chance ? :-)

That knife at the top of the thread looks pretty solid.

For the price moras are great knives I have the mora 46G (I think) with an oversized green handle, I used it to field dress my first deer and help make my first succeful bow, great knives.

That mora knife is good, that edge grind makes it great for slicing.  I tend to prefer standard blades, though, as I  often do some detailed stuff with the tip, like splinter removal.  
In fact I tend to get a lot of splinters :)

Many people throw away old mora knives when they become dull as they consider them junk due to their low price.  It`s just the chosen few who know they are worth resharpening.

that was me :)

i carve with a mora SL-2. cut down 3/4 of an inch down. didn't feel it at all till an hour later (might just be the stitches though) it was definitely one sharp knife.
