I want one now to try it  but skint and off work with this Ankle so no spare cash ,plus think I've enough Moras 

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.  I've got absolutely no justification for buying another Mora.

Too be honest Gareth I would be happy with a few #1 

Here is what Thomas said. Triflex Steel is O1-steel that got the surface "de-corbonized" (to little carbon to be affected by the heat treatment). Eventually the vendor got out of business. Since then no more Triflex knives ...

So that would make the surface really soft like I originally thought. Now Im even more confused

And the collector in me screams: get one! Its discontinued!
But the Moras I already own are already competing hard to be used, and loosing to the Garberg for bushcraft work. I really dont need the Triflex.

I don't think of Moras as collectable as they need to be used  plus can't see it being over valuable in the future

But what if the Triflex is the most amazing Mora ever made, and if you dont get one now, youll never be able to...

Hmm    Luckily being laid up with busted Ankle and no sick pay stops me feeling this way  but you go for it mate  and let us know

Triflex-steel is a high alloyed carbon steel, were the carbon in surface has been reduced (not enough carbon to harden the steel).

This makes that the blade surface will not be hardened (depth ~0,1mm) and you get a knife that will resist bending and (hammer) hits better than a ordinary high carbon steel knife. The surface of the knife blade are in other words more soft and flexible, but the edge is as hard as any carbon steel knife.

We have been using Triflex-steel in decades on knifes that has to suffer hammer hits and other heavy duty.

I remember some probs with the Triflex blades several years ago....I can't remember now exactly what (too many meds, advancing age and love of beer) but will see if I can find it.

It seems I understood it right the first time. Thanks for clearing it up Zed!


And yes, I ordered one out of curiosity.

I wonder if you file down the spine a little throug the soft outside, it will work with a firesteel.

   at that price I don't blame you Grathr    see what the spines like as possibly rough?  look forward to seeing pics and how it works out

Good detective work Paul. 

I'm not sure that the ability to strike a ferro rod is the defining characteristic of a good outdoor knife anyway, so this wouldn't really put me off buying one.

Mystery solved

[Grathr]

Would anyone be interested in a passaround of the Mora Triflex?
I would play with it for a few  weeks after it arrives. Then send it along to the next one who play with it for a few weeks, takes some pics and post it on the forum, and then send it to the next one and so on, until it ends up back here.
