Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
It's showing as 1600 x 1200 pixels, is there somewhere on your blog page that you can tweak it ? It's probably getting reduced from the original somehow ?
The first time you open it from your blogg it's only 897 x 693 which would work better, not sure how you do it though.
Lovely job on the handle by the way

I know this sounds really stupid lol but im not the best bushcrafter in the world still a newbie lol but how did you get the old handel off ?
Not that hard really, just used a hacksaw and cut along side the blade, and a bit of elbow grease to tear the horrid rubbery plastic off!! My pals have de-handled some Mora clippers, which I guess is a bit messier??
I owuldnt bother rehandling a plastic handled Mora unless it failed like this one and then I would shorten the blade to lengthen the tang a little bit.
I would buy a blade or kit like THESE
Yeah! got something called a 'Surform' from my work.. Made short work of it! I wouldn't have the patience to just use sandpaper. Best woodworking tool ever! Then finished it with 2 grades of sandpaper.

I did contemplate shortening the blade, but I would rather do a proper job of it and use a proper scandinavian (pukko?) blade.. I must stress this was a first attempt, I understand a lot of you have strong feelings about Mora's.. Now I know I can put a knife together, next time I'll source a sexier Swedish (or Finnish) model!!

I I think you have done a good job on your knife and I will be hacking one to bits soon and it will get shortened as it will suit my Scouts better and its damaged in such a way that will be better sorted by shortening.
For a Scandi blade I recomend HERE and HERE I am a fan of the true Scandi style
