I am not a fan of file work myself, and not a thing I would do, saying that, one thing I notice is that the half rounds are not quite even, one is deeper and leads into another, and one looks like it has a land left between the opposing ones, just something I notice as an engineer,
Not a bad effort, its a hard skill to master..
Is that bit where you drilled the lanyard hole all plastic, or was there some of the tang in the way?
Oh pack it in Stu. I grow tired of your constant nippy little comments. You've clearly got an issue with Trev and or his work so in the spirit of the forum if you have nothing nice to say then perhaps you should man up and refrain from commenting.
"As an engineer" would you be willing to show us your attempts?
Constructive criticism is one thing, but constant bitchyness is another. His work might not be up with the high end knife makers but it is clearly improving, and very well done.
And for the record I do not know Trev, we've never met and have only the one interaction from the Thor's hammer/ stamp swap. He seems like a very genuine "bloody northerner"
@Trev, the lanyard hole is excellent mate. I don't know why Mora haven't thought of that...

The third scallop on the left hand side is off by 0.0000000000000001 of a mm, but I will let you off with that other than that top job, I really like it ,keep up the good work
It is solid plastic my friend no tang was present .
Yes my friend just drill a 6mm hole and 6mm brass insert into the hole and file and sand until flush with the plastic .As a novice, how would I go about adding this lanyard hole? Drill a hole, cut a bit of brass, and insert - that all, or do you need to do a bit of filing of the brass to make it flush with the handle?
What size hole did you drill - and what size brass?
I'm itching to try this on my Mora.

one of the neatest filework jobs I have seen in a good while.
Great job mate, superb knife!
Yours sincerely Ruud

Maybe I'll get lucky and mora will take on board the lanyard tube as a design feature and produce it
That's not getting lucky, that's losing a potential market for custom modding Mora knives
Noooooo not really who would pay to have a hole drilled and some tubing put in. Realistically not going to happen.
