Really Rob?
Its a £15 Mora with a poorer blade shape and a bit more tang.....but that bit of tang is not worth the rest of the price.
And why would you pay for one, when you can make much better, for much less?

Thing is, I love knives and I like to try stuff out, I'm not going over £250 these days as there's plenty of good knives out there at reasonable prices.
I always go back to the bushtools for a bushy knife as I make them how I like and they are very strong.
It's nice to have a play with something different, last two knives I bought were a DPX HEST folder and a fallkniven S1 pro, both excellent utility knives, neither of which I could make.

Out of interest Mark, if you were to make that shape and style as a blank in 01, what would you be charging?

I'm not even going to look at it... It's obviously aimed at the American market!
they love that sort of thing over on bcusa. Mora should just stick to what they are good at.

Fair enough mate. I'm the opposite one of the scale to you then i guess. I won't pay for knives anymore, i just make em. Only bought one in last 6 years, and that was from here... old school Schrade folder.
For similar to the FT Mora, blade blank? Standard 3mm/4mm 01 prices mate. £50/£60 plus post.

Lamina have the polymer sheath version listed, for €99... so somewhere around £75

Some nice and good views here, so I am trying not to repeat it, but I cannot avoid it 
I think Mora made this mainly for the US market and tries to compete with Fallkniven and Essee etc.
It is a survival knife not a bushcraft knife.
Al that black plastic does not make this a bushcraft favorite.
I have to say that the design is very good though. I prefer this above Essee and Fallkniven. The 27 degree latest version of Sandvik14C28N and Mora's upgraded heat treatment will make it very very good. The very smart and Multi (and safe!) carry sheath (all Mora sheaths are really poor) also adds to the cost.
The sheat style is discussed rather nice here: https://www.lamnia.com/nl/p/13690/messen-en-vouwmessen/messen/mora-of-sweden-garberg
Fact still remains that my Mora Classic 2, The Sandvik Companion, Companion Heavy duty and Bushcraft black combined , which I own and use still, still cost less then this knife alone...
ps the Mora Bushcraft Black is really well suited for every bushcraft task.
Again I class this as a first class Survival knife, maybe my first choice on the market (but I do not need a survival knife, since I alway carry a Mora Bushcraft Black out n about and in other places (not illegal that is).

Expected to be around the pricing of the current 3 & 4... so $110-130 ish... so it has stiff competition in the US imo.
(Obviously needs stripping of the horrid coating though)

I've never had a Mora, never really liked or wanted one but I like this full tang one, it looks useful and able to take a lot of abuse, I might just try one.
A lot of my foraging and fishing is done on the shore so stainless and plastic work very well.

No thanks! Double or treble the price of my Companion for a Quids worth of extra Steel and less plastic needed? Retooling aside (anyone know how much this could be?) it should be £5 more than the short tang knives!
