Well that's no good ! I had heard A2 had better qualities than that. To me, that sounds like D2 (you do mean A2 not D2, right?) D2 is reputed to be brittle, Dozier is really the only maker I have heard of that gets it right consistently

To me, it seems ideal. Still a carbon steel with character and soul, but is superior to O1 in many ways. Slightly harder, slightly less rust prone, slightly better edge retention (though harder to sharpen). You will never catch me using S30V or some crazy stainless "super steel" but A2 seems...

Same with mine. Got rid of the striations and stropped the hell out of them

goodness, its a mora people! tanith, do some research, these blades are reknowned

user eh?

its the military, they want to shave costs, not up them. forget custom

well, this is the W11 pic over on ragweed forge

fixed it for you :)

im just gonna assume this is a practical joke

With the 510 gone, yah, I think the M571 looks good too. For a mora, the 510 had it all for me. Basically full tang, comfy handle, razor edge, usable sheath. I've never used a puukko style knife like the 571, used to having the tip of the blade be in the center of the handle

Thought I would throw this out there - the venerable 510 and 545 have been discontinued by Mora (according to ragnar @ ragweedforge). I know we are largely bias towards the Clipper, but the 510 is my personal favorite. Say goodbye to great model :(

who else is amused at the newbie instructing the master carver?

I just can never get over the work moras prove themselves capable of, day in and day out. I love a nice knife as much as the next guy, but man, it sort of humbles any "I need this knife to do X" arguments you might have bouncing around in your head

very nice mate. i am jealous of course! someday on my list is a 55 :)

I'll jump in. I stand on the Land Cruiser side of the fence, so naturally, I'm going to favor my cruiser. I have a 1995 land cruiser 80. solid front axle, full floater rear. center, front and rear locking diffs. can fit 35s stock. pretty amazing offroad. yes, it looks prettier and daintier than...

That's the 911. Carbon steel blade with a .098" spine. Also comes in stainless variety, the 946. If you want the rubber grip, but no finger guard, check out the 711 Also comes in stainless, the 746. I dislike the rubber, IMO it feels perpetually oily, particularly when wet. Others love it. YMMV

I am certain it will sharpen just like any other mora. the 2000 has always thrown me for a loop though, with the altered bevel. Can anyone explain why it has that shape? Also, the handle and sheath are nothing new. They just slapped the 2000 blade into this handle - The finger guard is a...

Buy a new one?

I don't want to sound vanilla, and maybe I am in the minority in thinking this, but I don't see much reason for "something different" in a "bushcraft" style blade. this is spyderco's entry to bushcraft, and i think they have a potential winner if the price is reasonable through retailers...

Why do you say that? Wetterlings purposely leaves the rough finish on the axe head, as does GB. It is something of an aesthetic trait of many Swedish axes
