Have you ever broken a Mora? I've heard this knock on them before, but have yet to find anyone that has actually experienced the problem.

I have a few knives I use. One is the Blind Horse Tiger Knapp.



Gossman PSK with a whistle, Fenix light, compass and fire staring tool.



Older model BK11 also with a survial kit rigged on the lanyard

Here are my Moras. I have a ranger band rigged to the sheath so that I can secure a firestarting tool and compass.

I love the look of the Tiger, Muddy. Looks good and looks to be a good solid blade.

It's a good knife. Weighs in around (less then?) 2oz. It's tool steel and is prone to rust really quickly if not taken care of.

Check out the bark river bravo necker and the rat izula.

I realize this is an OLD thread, but since it's been resurrected I thought I should point something out.
While I am a big Mora fan, they do not have sheaths that are adequate for being carried upside down, IMO. Unless you make(have made) a sheath with better retention. Some are better than others, but all of the ones I have, will fall out with a good jarring.

Also, someone commented about the tang length of Mora's. Some models are close to full length, while other do have very short tangs. personally I like to stick with the original and the #510:

You don't need to be that worried about "breaking" a mora. You are more likely to severely damage the edge to a point where it would be a huge hassle to sharpen in the field. Scandinavian grind edges can be fragile.

That looks like an ESEE Izula 1 with a custom orange sheath. Am I correct?

I think that's the Becker Eskabar (however it's spelled). It's the becker necker blade with the izula handle collabo between ESEE and Becker

No wonder I was confused by the slightly non-Izula blade profile and the impressed logo between the blade and the scales. Thanks!
