What would you change about your mora clipper?

[tytek]

Why change perfection???

Anything else is pretending!!!

 

[Longstrider]

As if I'd stir things up Only three things I'd change with them really.. The blade, the handle and the type of grind

Who says I don't like 'em ?

 

[Rob_Beek]

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?

Why whats up with um?

I love clippers as a general purpose knife, I prefer a blade that is less deep for many things, but as a general knife to use and abuse the clipper is perfect. I use them for cutting plasterboard, wire, opening paint tins etc. just the tasks they were designed for. For woodcarving and much bushy type stuff I prefer a sloyd 106 or a mora classic.

Since I managed to snap the blade on my first one, I'd vote for a 3mm thick blade so it can take a bit more abuse.

i'd need to buy one first. lol.

really should get around to doing that.

Thats a good deal, pity there are none of those stores over here..

There is one in Swindon and one in the Manchester Arndale centre no mail order though I have a Viking too great for the money

 

[procee]

Maybe a slightly thicker blade. Haven't managed to damage my one yet though so the current thickness is probably Ok for my use.

I did get a new sheath for it though, one that it sits quite deep in and which has a firesteel holder as I never really trusted the plasticy one it came with.

All in though, if you take into account the price, it's none too bad.

I like them, I just think they feel too light in my hand. I suppose it's down to the plastic handle. If they had a bit more weight to them they'd be perfect. I'm even happy with the horrible plastic sheaths they come with, I did my first sheath as a result of my mora. Regardless of my complaints, they're a great knife for the money in my opinion, you don't get much for £8 thesedays...

i just bought the miki mora & the plastic sheath has too go...lol...atb shogun

wonderful knife that it is, ide like it if it didnt taper quite so fast, and if there was a shoulder before the handle just dosent feel right rubbing all that orange plastic up against my wet stone.

by the way there is a whole in the bottom for a leg tie just knot some para cord and drop it through.
belt clip is fine even sitting up and down in a canoe but i have worn away the notch that secures the knife in the scabard reulting in my son cutting himself when he picked it up, upside down.

sad to say the sharpest knife i own and im looking at 23 knives and axes from where i sit lol

does anyone know what the thing looks like if you grind the handle off ide love a picture if anyone has one.

I'm considering putting a convex edge on mine. Not sure why- probably because I’m bored. Is this sacrilege, or would it be a worthwhile thing to do? I have no illusions of turning it into a clone of my S1 though!

i have had a few moras but my favorite by far is the mora 510/545 design. the blade is slightly thicker but not exesivly but it blade isn't as broad as a clipper. also there is no finger guard which is much nicer.
these knives are very underrated imo but with the pupularity of the clipper over the 510, the 510 has gone out of production
