Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I 2nd the idea of the rough spine being a good thing - just saves me getting the file out to make it rought for use with a fire-steel.
Will be fine with a go on the stones but "as is" there is no chance of a spark. The square of the spine is completely rounded.
Just looks like they forgot to machine the back is all.

quoted from the site it tells you about the un polished finish
As with Mora's Companion Knife, the HighQ Robust is an excellent knife to use whilst learning basic bushcraft techniques (being sturdy enough to withstand harsh treatment), while still being of a high enough quality to use once you are more proficient in knife work. Indeed, these Mora knives are used throughout the year by Woodlore's experienced instructors and assistants. The blade features a single flat bevel and a half tang, which is double-moulded into a large handle for improved strength. Furthermore, the high-friction grip has been ergonomically designed, making it an efficient, comfortable and safe knife to use. Please note that the back of the blade features an un-polished finish.

Must have been a Friday afternoon one this

i didnt read the small print and wanted to give them as gifts. id rather get my money back and get something finished
Should be pretty easy to put right. Will give it a quick blast on a friends belt sander then square it up with a stone.
For the money its hard to complain. Seems strange that they didnt bother to finish it? Wonder if these are seconds of some description..
I wonder too if someone said to alter it in some way to make a sharper edge for a firesteel, who knows.
If you look at the tip of the knife where the burr sticks out it will and does catch your skin.
But the verdict is too cheap to pass by.
