Full-tang Mora

[Tony]

looks ok to me, I probably on't get one but it looks nice enough, i'd imagine it will be £50-60 or more, they've definitely given their knives a higher value the last few years and the price of steel has gone way down, but hey, they're popular knives.

I look forward to reading someone's reviews

I like it, probably get one to play with then sell it as usual!
I'm a big fan of the Mora 2000 if they did that in 3.2mm I'd rate that very highly as a user.

That, and the general shape. It's too narrow to just put scales on, and would need a bit of grinding to handle as a stick tang. I guess you could route out the shape of the tang in two separate scales and attach them, but with that much work involved there are better options out there to rehandle.

I recall seeing someone rehandle a stick tang F1 by just putting scales on the side - I didn't understand how that wasn't just really rubbish and secretly suspect it was!

There are def better options for people who want to put handles on!

Agreed. I think the best option would be gringing down the tang a bot and doing it lik a very wide stick tang. A bit like that trailmaster you did for me a few years back, but with a bit of tang exposed at the bolster area. Will be nice to see what folk come up with.

I re-handled a stick tang f1 with micarta.
This is the only picture I have.

 

[Hibrion]

A three part handle? Hadn't thought of that as an option.

US prices were just releases: 100 usd with polymer sheath, 110 usd with leather.

Yep, either that or do a frame tang type construction like Rob has shown.

I understand rehandling an F1 (I have one in the works, and a H1 stick) but they're in VG10 steel. These won't be anything fancy so I don't see why anyone would choose to.

Mora might sell it as a blank with a proper full tang.

$100?.....thats just gone the wrong side of pricey for me

Wowzers!!!

I'm not quite understanding the multi-mount sheath. Can't work out from the pic how it multi-mounts to anything to be honest. Not like anything I've seen before. Looks like it was inspired by an Egyptian sarcophagus!

Whilst I suspect it may be cheaper than 100$ this side of the pond, still...

Also surprising little difference in cost between the sheaths.

 

[robevs73]

Too pricey for a Mora, I look at Mora's as the Stanley knife for the woods.

 

[redneck]

Crazy money.. This one will crash and burn just like the mora pathfinder .

 

[Hoodoo]

List price and actual cost could be quite different. It usually is for knives here in the colonies. I know I would not spend $100 for it, although I do like the design.

100$? Now that's just crazy. It looks nice and probably will be, but for that price I would buy me a completely different knife.
I could buy a handmade Helle for that much money.
I really hope it will be cheaper. Around 50£ would be acceptable.
By the way, Moras costs about the same here in Norway as they do in the UK.

 

[dazcon]

Mora knives are great knives for the money. But they look like what they are...cheap knives! This new one also looks like a cheap knife to me. If they over price it then it will flop. Why would I buy this when I can get a better knife for the same money or put an extra few quid to it and buy a Fallkniven F1 or similar??

$100 rrp!? With THAT handle? Nope. Sorry Morw, but I'll stick with the Companion series.
