I want one of those. I like the fact they do some slightly eccentric versions but that's about the only one I'd really use.Neil

you mean the pictured one is the one you would like?
heres also some odd looking electricians mora´s,frost´s etc.
Trust me £50 quid is still a SUBSTANTIAL sum to me , but there my hobby, so I don't mind spending a little more for them As for losing stuff, everything I have, from Mobile phone to Farmer is lanyarded down
One of my favorites is not a Mora...the Finn M571 is a plastic handled Puukko with a forged carbon steel blade.
Do any of u want some moras,frosts or another branded knives like that,here theyre way cheaper.all the hardware stores here sell mora´s like bread and they dont cost alot at all.
this one is really good bushcraft blade too,and it sure aint expensive to get.
I'm beginning to feel another trade coming on Neil

A Mora (stainless or carbon) is about £10 here, which is bloody cheap in these parts, considering the average kitchen knife you'll pick up for a tenner in tesco will be absolute crap. I've been thinking of picking a stainless one up for a while now, my carbon steel one is still amazing but it tends to pick up rust spots here and there so was thinking about ordering another couple, including a stainless one for cooking
