Title: Help me ID my vintage Frost Mora please.
Post by: herbeapuce on June 08, 2015, 02:46:58 AM: Hi everyone.
I just bought this used knife. it is in good condition. I would like to know what exact model is it, and how old is it please?

It says Frost Mora Made in Sweden Laminated Steel.
it has a 6 inches ( 151mm) blade and a 4.5 inches (112mm) handle
the handle is wood and the blade stopper looks like brass. the knife end cap looks like aluminium.
the sheath is black leather with a hunter and a rifle in sliver
it has metallic stitching ( non ferrous )

it looks a lot like the ForestExclusive 345 but longer.
w ww.moraofsweden.se/morakniv/jaktkniv-exclusive-345-50.0.194.2

what do you think please ?

if you know the right person or place to ask, please let me know.
thank you
Stef, Montreal.

I do like the handle material,the brass hilt,the brass and wood spacers and the aluminum crows beak butt cap.

Altogether a nice looking knife,congratulations.

Post by: herbeapuce on August 06, 2015, 08:43:03 PM: one thing I noticed, on the flyer it says high carbon steel but they don't mention it's laminated...

another question. can these be send back at Mora for reshaping the blade to almost original shape ? or elsewhere. my knife has a bit of wear in the front and no wear at all on the last inch toward the handle...it shows on the picture.

thanks
Stef
