knifes,, Which One

So Should i go for the wooden or plastic handle

Thats really a matter of personal taste.... some peoples hands fit particular knives better than others. As they are both £10 or less, why not get both and decide for yourself .... you'll then have a backup knife to keep in your pack just in case

The plastic handle has a small finger guard, very useful if it is your first knife.
The tang, for non knife person like myself, is the bit of the blade that goes into the handle.

So if you were to choose beetween the mora or clipper what would it be?

thanx

mora but I might get a clipper as a back up

 

[Goose]

Not used a clipper, just the mora, from what I have read they sound good though. I beleive the difference is in the handles.

 

[Ahjno]

I find the Clipper a bit more comfortable. Not much difference in the 2 IMO, just the Clipper handle feels better: rubberised (ish) and a good profile on it, instead of a plasticy Mora ... Or are we talking wooden handled Mora's?

That's true, Scandinavian grinds are very easy to sharpen. Is it because they have no secondary bevel? Or am I wrong on this statement?

A few of my students have taken to putting a length of bicycle innertube on their mora handles to improve the grip.... it gives excellent grip when wet. (thats on a plastic handled mora, not the wooden one)

My experience with the Scandi blades is that they come both ways. All three of my Mora's have a minute secondary bevel.

Sharpening is a breeze with W/D paper, steel, stone or charged strop. I put an initial razors edge on the blade and then touch it up during use with a strop.

As said earlier
www.baconsdozen.co.uk/knives.htm. Gives you both clippers and a plastic handled one. Plastic £5 Carbon £6 and SS £8. Postage is £1.50. I bought Carbon and SS and postage was still £1.50. Think this must be best prices in the UK. Plus there are a lot more knives on site including folders. More than worth a look.
