No its a double post, sorry. My not-so-smart phone has difficulty with these forums sometimes. Will try to delete it, if not perhaps a nice mod could clear it up for me? :)
 
Master a cheap kitchen knife first, how to pass the knife safely to another user and all the different grasping of a knife no shorter than 3 inches for the blade, (cutting part), then learn how to sharpen the knife properly. Then moved on to a mora knife, then after a few years,you can spend as much as you want for a good custom knife. But in my humble opinion, the best knife for a new rookie, would be the one you are holding in your hands. Also buy a good quality first aid box. You bound to cut yoursel, if you are thinking of playing with knives, happy mastering my friend.
Cheers the interceptor boy.
 
Another +1 for a mora. I also have a Laplander saw and a spoon knife.

Can't go wrong with a Mora. If you wreck it you lost a tenner. Same principle with axes, mine was three quid so I can 'learn' with it

So pleased I read this thread, I need a good knife as I have been bashing the crap out of my leather man wave for too long now! Off to look at the Mora now :)
