I have recently obtained a Mora Clipper 840MG (suggested by many here) and it is great!, for my birthday I will be getting a DC3/4 stone, but anyway should I get a Mora Bushcraft Survival on my birthday? This would be my main knife then.
Is this a good knife?

hi mate, is the mora bushcraft survial the one with the sharpner, and fire steel, if so i think you would be better spending the 50 quid on a blank and make your self a better knife, i love all my mora's but that one is well over priced in my opinion.
No need mate, the clipper will do just as much for a fifth of the price. You certainly wouldn't be getting more knife for your money
Hmm OK then, I really don't want to make my own knife handles etc, can you recommend me a knife around this price range (higher or lower) that is very good, and also has integrated firesteel (not so much for a integrated sharpener)
I've also been interested in the BG ultimate knife, but it seems bad. Maybe I can glue a firesteel on a clipper lol.
Buy a leather sheath for your clipper with integrated firesteel loop and a fire steel, that's all you'll need.
People that would do them are Lukylee, Rancid Badger, Topknot, G4GHB or Decorum to name a few leatherworkers on the forum. If I missed you out then I apologise

very good idea and a perfect solution to "customise" your Mora.

Accepted.......
I think Mesquite is right. You're probably better off just getting a quality sheath for the mora you've got that'll have the firesteel loop on it. I'd stick with the Mora you've got now and use that for a while before looking for another knife. Once you've used the Mora for a while and done a variety of different things with it, you'll start to figure out what it's missing or what you want to add/take away/change about it, and then you'll probably have more cash to buy a custom blade if you so wish.
As has already been said, you can get the core components of the Mora bushcraft separately and still have change left over instead of spending £50 on the package. That said, some people love the bulshcraft package. It's up to you of course.
I can't really speak for the "stick with one knife" though... I like getting and using new knives. All of mine (except the woodlore) see a lot of use though so that justifies it in my mind (not that my mrs agrees of course!)

Thanks for the replies.
I will stick with my Clipper. Test it out and see what I like, although I've always wanted serrations on the back on the blade, don't know why though.

I'm too young to view any forums, but they were stupid enough to not restrict me to sign up.
Ahem the internet is a small place as you may be about to find out
There I could be a teacher
Many of these 'stupid' people are members here, including the forum owner, a sharpish bit of editing and a pm'd apology might be a good idea.

In answer to your question, a clipper is all the knife you will need, if you have money to spend, spend it on something else or save another thirty to sixty pounds for a nice custom knife.
Edited to add:
Why do you think you need to have the firestick and stone attached to your sheath? Not being cheeky just curious to know if you've thought this through.

I was just saying it was stupid to let me sign up but then not let me view.
