Moras Good Or Bad.

I love moras. But I was curious what others thought about them.

The single wide bevel results in a thin cross-section. Generally less durable than a two bevel or a convex grind, but much sharper. Therefore, the need for exceptionally strong steel.

Good news. I learned that the Polish Mora that I'd not found online is a product that is sold via a magazine (or catalog) in Poland. The person I purchased the knife from doesn't believe it is distributed elsewhere. It is still not known who manufactured the finished knife. When I learn more, I will share it with you.

Some shots of my current EDC. Meaning I carry this rig daily around the home place and in the woods. I carry a smaller mora on my belt in town. In the pocket, I carry either a Coldsteel Spartan or Gerber Combat dagger. This is a Mora Robust 10315 knife with a Mora Craftline HQ Electrician knife. The Robust has a 1/8 inch thick blade that I really like. The sheath is designed to allow another Mora knife to attach to it very securely. The short blade of the HQ is used more than the longer blade. I use it when I need to choke up on the blade, or make shallow cuts. Both are very tough and very sharp. I like the composite plastic sheaths with drain holes for working in the rain. It may appear cumbersome, but is quite nice to carry. The knives snap into the sheaths hard enough that there are small extensions on the sheaths to push the knife out with the thumb. Very secure set-up.

Robert, the Edgemark that you gave your cousin may be a different brand from the Edgemark associated with Mora.
These images are from ebay.

I didn't know that. Mora made blades for Edgemark? Years ago I gave an Edgemark Buffalo Skinner, with a stag handle, to my cousin. He loves that knife. I tried to find out more about Edgemark but I came up empty. It's stamped Soligen Germany but that doesn't mean that the blade comes from there. Thanks for the info.

Have ya'll tried searching for them in Finnland?

It's a feel good thing.

Staring a fire with a Mora.

Good news from Mora.

Come December, Mora of Sweden is planning to release a larger version of its popular Black Carbon Bushcraft Knife. The blade will be 6 5/8" long, and the thickness will be increased to a very robust 3.5mm. This is definitely looking to be the stoutest Mora ever, and it appears that they are taking aim at the large-bladed survival knife market.

Clay, I don't know about that Edge Mark. Maybe we could get someone involved that knows the history.

Moras make wonderful neck knives in my opinion, you can't beat that edge, and keeping it handy at your chest saves a lot of time no matter what the task!

There a re a couple of firms making copies/knock-offs of Mora knives now, Be sure the knife you buy is actually a Mora.
