Everyone seems to love their mora clippers for the sub £10 you get em for, but if you could (if anything), what would you see changed about the design to suit your needs better?
What would you change about your mora clipper?

Nowt!! Brilliant things that they are!!!
That said, i've just got a MIKI and reckon I'm gonna try my hand and rehandling it (first such project undertaken

It doesn't have the rubberized handle that the clipper has and the sheath is terrible, but at that price I can make new handles and sheaths, even if I ruin a few in the process.

looks like they sell the sheath as a spare part you could ask to buy just the knives and they can put the sheaths into stock get a Quit off

three things, first that curved bit at end of handle, i always trim/cut off that part at the end of the handle that droops down (the bit of hard plastic on the end of handle that droops down on underside), second as a lefty i would like the factory sheath to be available for left-handers, i have never seen a factory-made left-handed sheath so presume they don't do them, thirdly i would prefer the sheath to be not a clip-on but fixed at both ends, i put some rubber inner tube on sheath to keep the open clip-on part held firm so the sheath doesn't get accidentally pushed off when pushing through undergrowth. If i was really picky a fourth thing would be to have a slightly shorter length as i have small hands and a little shorter length would be preferred.
The only thing i have changed about mine is to drill a hole in the top of the belt clip and thread some paracord through so it ties onto the belt and is completely secure and then added some more paracord as a retention strap sort of thing. i might post pics of it one day to aid in describing it but we'll have to wait and see.

I made a leather sheath for mine not that it was needed.
I would buy a blade with a longer tang rather than rehandle a Clipper or Miki.

I would like it to be a little thicker blade, longer tang and a more secure sheath.
Other than that it's a really nice knife.

why a full tang?? Ive used mines doing all sorts of things that i shouldnt really be doing with it and the stick tang has never entered the equation.
The only thing i would change is a lanyard hole, that is it. Anymore additions would make it cost more and that is not what a clipper is about, cheap and does the job that many more expensive knives do also.
If it aint broke, leave it bloody well alone ( my parting remarks to a freelancer i fired on site once)

I have a clipper in green, I drilled a hole in the end of the handle, to fit a lanyard
also drilled a hole in the belt clip on the sheath, and attached a small karabinor, to clip it on a belt loop, this mod means it can also move when you go to sit down.
Other than that I wouldnt change a thing, great knife.
