Mora tang

[Johnnyboy1971]

Now then i need a little advice.
Which model of all the Moras has the longest tang, stainless blade prefered.

My aim is to try and rehandle in wood and have the best of stainless and traditional wood finish.

I have one of the Mora bushcraft models and find it a fantastic knife but not keen on the handle.

Just buy a blank and work with that it will at least be designed to handle.

Mmmm maybe. Do you know the length of the tang?

Believe only 3/4 tang.

The tang on that rather small knife is full length

There is no point in faffing about buying a knife to pull apart just buy a blank blade.

Dont get me wrong I have rehandle some of these things

Also dont get too hung up on the tang length as when you get it wrong when gluing one together you will out how much effort it is to get apart.
