Goodbye Mora 510

[kawasemi]

Well, it now looks like the Mora 510 is now gone for good. It is part of bushcraft history along with the 740/760 that many of us loved. I have a 510 and it is a cracking knife. I know progress is the thing and the new Moras are great knives but perhaps even they are getting 'fussy' as the prices start to creep up.

Here's the info on the last batch from Ray's site:

Thats a shame, i have one and its probably the best mora i have used. Much better than the clipper imo.

That is sad, the 510 is my favorite Mora. I am so glad I bought a couple when they were available. You can still mod a 511 to be like the 510 but the sheath to the 511 is not very useful of you cut off the fingerguard.
The knife that is always in my daypack is the 510 with plastic sheath and a paracord neck cord. 3.5 ounces of fantastic knife! We should start a petition to have them brought back!

I totally agree with you.I'm kicking myself for not buying a few while they were still in stock

Damn, if Ebay still allowed knife sales, I'd be minted within a few weeks of selling.

Bugger, missed out there. Clipper it is then, I suppose.

just buy 511's and chop the finger guard off, not had a problem with the 511's sheath after the guard has gone as the knife is locked into the sheath on the side of the handle not the guard, well tis on all 12+ of mine

 

[mrcairney]

Oh, there's 511's? That's ok then...

I believe the clipper is being phased out as well. The Companion model with a longer tang and slightly different handle seems to be the replacement. I have some of each but I cannot get the carbon companion to sharpen up like my old clipper. Don't understand why that is.

Got my personal Viking on it, since I feel left out now.

Well, er.. actually.. just the one. Because Ebay damned well stopped me from pre-empting and capitalising on these opportunities!!!! And I knew this would happen, although thought it would be much sooner. I'd of bought loads last year if knife sales were still OK with the Bay.

I only bought one and thought i'd get a couple more if i liked it,but when i came round to buying more they'd sold out,and i'm gutted because i really liked them,once i sanded the handle a bit
