Changing the handle on my knife

[R Doull]

Hi all..

I'm thinking of changing the handle on my Frosts Mora.. I really don't like the plastic one that is on it and can get ahold of some nice timbers..

so basically.. before I remove the old handle.. can anyone tell me.. is it a full tang? is it worth my while?

thanks

I agree its worth changing, I,m about to change the handle on a clipper ,will post pics when it,s finished

I don't think it is worth it. It's definitely not full tang either way. I think you'd be better off buying something like a cheap Lauri blade from Dennis at Brisa and handling that.

A Mora is cheap enough to tear apart, practice on and not worry about. After you've made a couple of those you will want better though.

Buy a blade from Brisa or The good stuff. Stick tang - a damn sight easier and probably stronger.

Then you still have your Frosts.
