This is the typical BCUK contradiction in advice.
Buy a low priced stick thang they are great strong etc
Then as soon the price goes up OH NO you cant buy a stick tang it has to be a heavyweight lump that is the fulltang
Though do agree with the Mora purchase first then think about something pricier if want something fancy. Never rule out a stick tang IMO they are great and strong enough but also look better

I have a finish wilderness pukko stick tang and its had some real abuse and not let me down, i have also had an Enzo trapper tang crack in the past.
haha this is going to get interesting..
So 2500 miles in 80 days thats 30+miles a day ,with what is looking like 30kg +pack on your back ,,,I would have a good think about this because i think you might hurt yourself with that much weight .
But good luck to you anyway

In the OP you say you will be out for 80 days. Can you explain a little more about where your going and where you will be staying overnight and the other gear your gonna take, because if you are gonna carry all that metalwork you arnt gonna have room for owt else.
Just looking at the kit your taking ,,so what weight do you think it will all add up to then ?
Jason
Ah dont forget the Gerber will be strapped to his leg so will keep the weight of his pack down a bit.
I am not turning on him if you read the post you will see that i am only asking him serious questions about his kit
Tarp, sleeping bag, 1 person tent weighs 1,5 kilo, omnifuel ti stove, the gransfors small forest axe, the multitool, the katadyn pocket water purifyer, steriipen adventurer, maxpedition fr 1 pouch which has some emergency gear in like some 100 grams of brass snare wire.
Widemouth nalgene and possibly a maxpedition nalgene pouch, gotta check out the new war belt thats coming tuesday. A Few torches,
Need to find a descent small packing fishing rod too.
And a couple more pouches. And hhave my netting needles and some garden cord too to help degrade. If I need to make a net and ditch it.
When people start talking about carrying a fixed blade knife on there leg and possibly for protection that rings alarm bells.
