Here's mine but it doesn't look quite as new these days and I've re-shaped the handle to make it bit more rounded and comfy for my girlie hands.

I think it's massiveokenest: and the rest are a really good size
I'm not tiny, I'm just on the small side. I take a 6 or a 6.5 in a glove.
Besides, I can do anything with those knives that you can do with the bigger ones
Lol sorry I'm a giant anyway at 6'4"
The 2010 really does look bigger than I expected though, I usually find the Mora handles a bit on the small side!Pete
Ah well, I'm all of 5' 2.5" and that extra half inch is important......it makes me above average height for Scotswomen 
The Mora2010 is big, but it's surprisingly comfortable and what at first seems to be a totally weird blade profile is actually really useful
It's also a light knife weightwise, doesn't feel like a lump of lead in a pack
cheers,
Toddy

That's a stunner Dazcon!
I thought the blade grind was pretty weird at first too but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes - on larger knives I usually think of the end section being robust for chopping and the bottom section being finer for slicing and planing, but on a smaller knife I think it's just what you need - a thin section at the end for skinning and food prep with the more robust bit near the handle for power cuts and planing. I think I've just been talked into buying one at some point
Lol well I've known a few 4'10" scots so 5' 2 1/2" ain't too badAh well, I'm all of 5' 2.5" and that extra half inch is important......it makes me above average height for Scotswomen

These have only gotten SOME use so far
This one has got a lot of use
This one too
I've used this one some but only when it's supposed to be raining when I go.

Lower is done totally by me,but the upper one,is made by one blacksmith,from my drawings,but i finsihed the blade myself,and i also did the handles.
A few of my favourites....
Cherry on e-bay Damascus (aint failed yet...) 3mm Veg tan sheath - the firesteel has been replaced with an Antler handled one,
Hand forged Saex/Wharncliffe (on a Dave Budd course) Oak handle 3mm veg tanned with antler rings
There are a few more but the camera is packed for the upcoming trip....

nice couple of sharps john, how are you liking the B&T?
Great thread this
May I ask Sf, the B&T below, what do you use it for?
Stu.
mostly game prep and whittling, its usualy my choice when out with the airgun.
the narrow blades great for delicate tasks and slicing, however i tend to opt for a thicker blade like the northwest or my enzo when i need more of an allarounder and may need to do some heavy battoning.
PRKL, I like those knives very much. Nice work on them. 
I like to thump around with this one...
in its neck sheath...
Sometimes I take this big guy along. It'll take a thumping. It weighs nearly as much as my axe though so... usually not.

The Ka Bar BK2 looks like it could and has taken some abuse, is it any good?
