knife

Well I must admit I nearly didn't read this thread but I'm glad I have, and I do agree with Hoodoo that the standard responses tend to dull the interest rather more than the repeated question IMHO.

Plus I would always rather get an up-to-date opinion - and if you don't want to read / comment then you don't have to. It also is quite a nice 2nd / 3rd post for someone new to the site to make - to break their duck so to speak.

I never considered myself to be a "knife person" but meh gawd Hoodoo has all the nice shiny shiny - I'd love to see the look on a burglers face if he broke into your house and was confronted with all the sharps

Well, he's more likely to be confronted with something more tubular.

No idea really.

Sorry Chance. It's just that, "Get a mora" and "Use the search function" are classic conversation killers that I get a little tired of.

As the person who more or less said "use the search function" I feel obliged to respond

it took 7 posts to get to the answer we always arrive at for this question and no doubt they'll be 100's more comparing clippers, 747's et al.

If you want a discussion about alternatives to the Mora then that's a different issue, but it's all too easy for everybody to get the answers spoonfed to them when a little bit of effort could reveal the same thing and show some sort of interest. "give someone a fish etc. etc."

It still seems to read like "can't be bothered to help ,find out for yourself" not very welcoming.

Normally I'd say get a Mora too, but having just got an Old Hickory knife, and assuming they're all of the same high standard...

Get an old hickory knife

Still love my moras but it's nice to have a change once in a while

In my tenuous defence, I'd made the same new-to-site = new-to-toys mistake. Hence the suggestion of something proven that's easy to source. It's the advice I would have liked to have been given before I bought a Spanish version of the old RM/WS survival knife a long, long time ago. I still haven't managed to put an edge back on it.

I wouldn't have taken the advice ("What, I only need to spend £4; that can't be enough"), but I would have appreciated it.
