Full-tang Mora

[Johnnyboy1971]

If the Bushcraft Black is around £35/40 and the Pathfinder is quite a bit more I'm sure this new one will be pricey.
For one I'm looking forward to it.

Mora have said they are trying to keep the cost reasonable on this. Exactly what that means remains to be seen.

I imagine a blade blank will follow very shortly aince mora offer most pf their blades as blanks anyway.

They may offer the blade blank for £40... might be worth a play?

Good point! Just makes it even more intriguing! You can't even make out the thickness of the steel from the photo. Damn you Mora marketing department!!!

They are certainly sparking everyone's interest. If funds allow i'd like to have either the knife, or preferably the blank if it is offered. I wonder will it be offered in carbon and stainless?

 

[Corso]

Just don't see the need myself

It most likely will! They will have their feelers out to see what the response is already. Looks like their marketing team have upped their game lately with the cloak and dagger mystery stunt....And it seems like it's working to me!! They want to make money. What business doesn't! I just hope that the rest of the knife,once we see it,lives up to the anticipation. If it does then they're on to a winner! They may even start offering it in fancy steels.

If I'm seeing cures correctly, it's a full length stick tang like the Fallkie F1. I wonder how many people are going to be disappointed having expected a full tang knife in the more traditional sense of, say, a woodlore.

Yeah, looks like a wide stick tang Stew. The pommel end of the handle looks like a separate cap and I would have maybe expected to see a pin or bolt in the photo. I'm thinking, with the protruding steel at the pommel, that the thickness of the blank will be way more than their norm. Would you bother leaving it exposed with 3mm steel?

There's another picture that they released with the knife in a gloved hand. You can see the side of the tang and while I'm not saying I have an accurate eyeball tape measure, it does look quite thin still. I don't think it looks thick enough to be 4mm (though the angle may make it harder to see) and wouldn't be surprised if it was 3.5mm or 3mm.

 

[dazcon]

Just seen the gloved hand pic. Still difficult to tell blade thickness. Looks quite nice in that shot! I can't help picturing the Morakniv 2000 profile. I'm probably totally wrong though!!

Got a link to that picture ?

 

[Stew]

Just go through their Facebook page and you can see it.

I don't do face book I'm afraid.....it's the work of the devil I tell ye.

Here you go Robbi.

Looks like 3mm to my eye

 

[chimpy leon]

The finishing to the butt of the tang looks a bit rough and ready. Ideal for a bit of refining and some new clothes.
Looks about 2 - 2.5mm to me in the picture, but anything sub 4mm is a winner for me.

 

[sunndog]

anything sub 4mm is a winner for me.

I couldn't agree more.

See the new post on Dave Canterbury's youtube channel : Wildernessoutfitters. A quick presentation of the new knife, but no full review yet.

Just begging for new clothes and providing the price is right, I'm gona jump on this bandwagon.
