MORA Forest Blade

[iboga]

Hi!
I got the Mora after catching some impressive reviews on it (including a destruction-test video on youtube!). It arrived promptly by Heinnie Haynes and I took it with me when I went wildcamping in the Lake District last weekend. It performed superbly. However I noticed that on the spine of the blade there seems to be jagged edges and maybe some splitting (?)
Just wondering if this is normal for a blade spine to look?

Heres an extreme close-up:

What do you think? Is this normal or should I be sending this back?

Perfectly normal, just the way they are finished.

It's a result of the manufacturing process, where blade blanks are stamped/punched from a massive steel sheet. They don't bother to clean it up because that would cost money. You can clean it with a fine file or a stone if you want, it does help when sparking a ferro-rod.

I´ve seen only one Mora until yet, that was finished at the spine and it is the Mora Bushcraft Triflex I bought the other day!
All other Mora´s are look the same as on your pictures - so stay with it!
It won´t make the knife less working or is a problem when using!

Mora have to make a decision - should they stay up with cheap "workhorses" or should they do a nice looking collectors item!
I think they´ll stay with first!

All the best and have fun with your Mora - that´s what it is designed for ;-)
cheers
