Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Oh pack it in Stu. I grow tired of your constant nippy little comments. You've clearly got an issue with Trev and or his work so in the spirit of the forum if you have nothing nice to say then perhaps you should man up and refrain from commenting.
"As an engineer" would you be willing to show us your attempts?
Constructive criticism is one thing, but constant bitchyness is another. His work might not be up with the high end knife makers but it is clearly improving, and very well done.
And for the record I do not know Trev, we've never met and have only the one interaction from the Thor's hammer/ stamp swap. He seems like a very genuine "bloody northerner"
@Trev, the lanyard hole is excellent mate. I don't know why Mora haven't thought of that...
Andy
Thanks Andy for the kind words mate they mean a great deal .
And for the record lol I'm not a northerner I was born in Essex for my sins (oops did I just admit to being an Essex boy)

Thanks for the comment fella.
It's noted and I'll make the nessecary adjustment
As a novice, how would I go about adding this lanyard hole? Drill a hole, cut a bit of brass, and insert - that all, or do you need to do a bit of filing of the brass to make it flush with the handle?
What size hole did you drill - and what size brass?
I'm itching to try this on my Mora.
Yes my friend just drill a 6mm hole and 6mm brass insert into the hole and file and sand until flush with the plastic .
Simple as that bud hope this helps.
I also used a countersink to remove the bur on the inside edge of the brass from where it was cut,this also stops the lanyard being cur through aswell

I must admit I had noticed the repeated 'constructive criticism' myself but just assumed it was dished out to everyone.
I wonder if a .22 shell casing would be a suitable source of brass tube? Got plenty if someone wants to experiment
one of the neatest filework jobs I have seen in a good while.
Great job mate, superb knife!
Yours sincerely Ruud

That's not getting lucky, that's losing a potential market for custom modding Mora knives

Noooooo not really who would pay to have a hole drilled and some tubing put in. Realistically not going to happen. But if mora do take on board the idea I'd be happy with the prototype or the first issue knife as a keep sake.
The same people who would pay for engraving, re-profiling, sharpening, filework, custom sheaths, etc etc. The people who have neither the time nor skills to do these things themselves.
