Mora kansbol and new range of knives

[Mike8472]

Has anybody got one of the new mora knives recently. I ordered myself a eldris and saw this

It looks pretty cool. Has anyone had a play with one. It looks very similar to the old mora 2000

Yeah mora 2000 with (imo) a better handle and sheath. I'll probably get one at some point

I don't get the thinner front section towards the tip, looks a bit flimsy!

A lot of people comment on it. It's like the grind on the Mora Bushcraft, it's very usable and easy to sharpen.

I have been using a couple of 2000' for a couple of years. One of the jobs they have done is some heavy cutting incl. battoning on my house rebuilt.
All blades are still intact. The thinner tip might be a weakness in theory, but in practice it is strong.
I have been cutting cables, prying out tacks, nails, stuff like that.

I've seen them in stores and they seem just as tough as the normal mora knives.

Plus they butter bread, and slice cheese and sausage better than a normal narrow bladed Mora.
It took me ages to get used to this shape, but it is growing on me, and I have one of the neverlost ones in brilliant orange and black.

Tempted to drill a lanyard hole in the top of the handle for when working round deep water.

Still love all my other Moras though.

Regards, and best wishes for the New Year,

I have one. It's an updated 2000 (which I love) An improved handle and sheath, square spine and non glare finish. Don't be put off by the thinner tip section, it's plenty strong enough for use as a knife. If you want to baton through 4" logs I'd suggest putting the money toward something more suitable, like an axe.
