Tbh, it would be cheaper to buy a new Mora, than to restore that one.

Are you coming to the Moot?

Failing that if you offer @Dave Budd sufficient funds and copious amounts of alcohol to overcome his hatred of Scandi grinds he might agree to put the edge back for you

Scandi grind blades are really, really easy to sharpen. Get yourself a diamond block, find yourself an hour to spare, and I'm sure you'll be able to learn how to do it.

And what you learn today will be useful for the rest of your life.

Agree with the others - this could be your 'sacrificial' knife, both for improving your sharpening skills, and also to practise any new sharpening equipment you get. I've got a Hultafors OK4, which was my starter knife before I moved onto something bigger, but I still keep the OK4 as it's helpful for me to get my eye in when sharpening before I move onto my other knife.

I snapped the end off the awl on my farmer but managed to repair it with a file.

Moras get to the original sharpness just by stropping on the leather for a few minutes, unless suffered some unusual damage on the edge.

No need to use any stones or other sharpers into Moras for sharpening. And Moras are the work tools which don't need to be immaculate in the looks. The more battered they look, the cooler they look.
