Details about the Mora Mors Kochanski uses??

[DavidEnoch]

I saw a small picture with a caption about the Mora knife Mors Kochanski uses. The picture showed a standard red wood handled Mora with a forward lanyard loop through the handle, said the blade guard was ground off, and said the tip of the blade was re-ground to a modified tanto shape. Does anyone have a good picture and better description of how Mors modified the Mora?

Thanks,

Not exactly what you are looking for but here is an article in Field & Stream then did on one of Mor's moras.

That's the same article I saw. I looked for it again and couldn't find it. I was wondering if there was any more lengthy article about it.

Thanks,

Does this help? He did chat about "oh, I really must kncok the guard off this...ah well I've been saying it for two years"

He really didn't seem over stressed about knives tbh

I think the red-handled knife is either a 510 or a modified 511. The blue handled one is 546.

Does that help?

Mors brought a whole garbage bag of old Mora and -like knives to the course I attended. My impression is that he really does not give much about them - it just needs to cut very well and keep an edge. He used the skookum a lot during the week - since 3 of those came in fresh from Rod. But he just as easily switches to something else that works well.

What does Mors use - anything that works - or so it would apear....
not a man for designer labels but one who likes practicality!

I wonder if he searches BGs site and RMs books to see what he "must buy"......

Swedish bushcrafters -- probably even Lars Fält -- was wearing M59 shirts, bandanas and white snow suits before RM was even born, and it is obviously the reason he wore (and still wears?) them. Obviously RM is a fashion victim!

I'm led to believe that these are some notes from the man himself on what to look for in a good knife, no mention of guards and how he'd modify one on a Mora though
