Mora 511 mod

on: August 06, 2015, 10:19:29 PM

Howdy

The 511 was silly sharp but obviously a bit cheap to not use. Had an idea and tried to build holders for the mag bar and ferro rod with duct tape, but that didn't work out.
Cold blued the blade.
Re-shaped the rear part of the handle for my xxl hands, lanyard hole drilled but as yet unoccupied....
The ferro rod is a Coughlans, and the first one to break while I was drilling a hole for the shock cord.

Very happy with the end result, and just for the record - those aren't "ranger bands", just strips of bicycle tube holding stuff onto the sheath

Rigged for neck carry.
