Mora 510 and 545 Discontinued

[UCBerzerkeley]

Thought I would throw this out there - the venerable 510 and 545 have been discontinued by Mora (according to ragnar @ ragweedforge). I know we are largely bias towards the Clipper, but the 510 is my personal favorite. Say goodbye to great model

That is a shame, great wee knives

I have one almost the same but with a finger gaurd, did you cut yours off??

There is a version with a guard but these come as pictured

Hmm... With these knives gone and the clipper only available in stainless now, I'm guessing they'll be losing some sales from the bushcraft community (though that probably isn't a lot of sales), or have they come out with some better knives yet? If they do (or have), let's hope they're good ones!

Hultafors does a nice carbon steel one, orange handled, you "need" to get rid of the small fingerguard but at least you need not to work on the shoulders of the blade to use it with a firesteel!

A stainless one too with a blue handle...

Cheap as chips in Sweden.... dunno about webshops/exports....

The 510 was my favorite model too btw!

I bought a carbon clipper a few weeks ago! since when did they stop them? I might have to treat mine a bit better, if there are going to be no replacements!

There was a thread about it a while ago, I bought a carbon clipper after that news came out too but it was probably just leftover stock. I think Asa Samuel tried to buy a carbon clipper recently (don't remember where) but they sent him a stainless model instead, I think because they don't make them anymore... It's what I've heard anyway!

Woodlore are still selling them.

The Marttiini M571 Carbon Puukko is I think a good alternative for the Mora 510 and it costs all most the same.

With the 510 gone, yah, I think the M571 looks good too. For a mora, the 510 had it all for me. Basically full tang, comfy handle, razor edge, usable sheath. I've never used a puukko style knife like the 571, used to having the tip of the blade be in the center of the handle

Those are my favorite moras. They will be missed.
