Just bought a clipper from EDCS and awaiting its arrival along with a lanyard that I need to order from Ash tomorrow, glad to hear you like your bushcraft! I was thinking about the bushcraft but I knew I was just going to be doing light duty stuffSent from my own private Idaho

(Top Gear fan here as well )
Nice review there mate! It always pleases me to see Mora being praised outside of Sweden.. Sure, there's Fällkniven too but Mora is just such a humble little knife that tends to be found somewhere in almost every home around here. Well, not their bushcraft series, but their regular models.Been wanting to pick up one of these but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Very cool mate. One that I picked up for a friend is the Hultafors Heavy Duty Knife. Again it's a 3mm blade though a little shorter than your Mora Black. A very good bushcraft knife that cost next to nothing.
P.S. that's from my favorite episode the one were they ride bikes across Vietnam

You simply cannot buy a better knife for the price, and frankly.. most people shouldn't ever need to. The regular $12-15 USD models are the best ones too. Simple, ergonomically sound, well designed, and cheap as it gets? This is what makes a great product. Who says inexpensive has to mean junk? Maybe it just means "nothing you don't need".Fallkniven blades are drool worthy though. Consider me jealous that you can buy both Mora and Fallkniven for much less than I.
great review, at just the right time sir. I have been looking at the 'black' mora since before the holidays, and now armed with some residue cash i was thinking of making a purchase, I hate buying on the inter-web because you can't see/feel the product before parting with the folding stuff so could you answer me a question ? " will the 'Black' (blueing) effect sharpening as it is a scandi grind ? " i may not have explained that well, i'll try again, "if you sharpen the blade in the 'normal' way will the whole 'bevel' of the blade lose the bluing almost immediatley?"

Which I think will make it look even better.. I think blackened blades with sharpening and signs of wear just look awesome.

After massaging Dave Canterbury ,he said how the BB is his chosen mora for his classes, with so many moras to choose from plus being the U.S ambassador for More that's a pretty good recommendation hope you enjoy your BB
