Mora Companion

[eamo]

i probably have a few bricks laying around somewhere but i think i'll give that a pass

ok, right now trying to decide between the Lansky turnbox LCD5D and the Fallkniven DC4 both about €25 ish or so with shipping, give or take a little . . . . . i'm think the Fallkniven DC4 . . . . . . 

[Grathr]

I have the DC4 and its good.
I have never tried the Lansky Turnbox so I cant help with wich is better.

thanks Grathr

nice video here from Ray Mears showing it in use -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=225&v=D4y8u_iJf1M

the lansky system looks like something I could easily master - the DC4 looks more fun . . . . . .

[firiki]

I have the Dual Sharpener from Vic. It's quite useful I'd say. Great for SAKs and Vic kitchen knives, it will help with other makes too...

If ray mears approves, then it must be good

The V feature is for when the knife needs a new edge. Otherwise, the ceramic rod is easy to use and works well for touching up the existing edge. I think the Dual Sharpener is a good way to practice on free hand sharpening, at least as far as SAKs are concerned.

thanks Firiki, i dunno will it do anything my blade medic doesn't cover though ? i'll have a think, i'm in no rush ordering something, though right now i am definitely leaning towards the DC4.

It's quite handy and well suited for SAK blades.

To be honest that blademedic seems interesting... 

Edit: So does the DC4

Sorry. Using the spoiler tags would be pointless though since the attached picture would show anyway. I'll just leave this here then  http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,34888.msg564357.html#msg564357   ( bad firiki, bad )

'Tis a good little knife, that Fireknife. I have one, I'm thinking about getting one for the wife, too. Not ideal for peeling fruits but quite useful otherwise.

[eamo]

( bad firiki, bad )

yes. very very bad Firiki

[Gerhard Gerber]

Used to be once upon a time I had a green Mora Companion, next week I'll be ordering the following mostly to test the SA Postal system:
Mora Pro S (Since I have the C)
Mora Companion FF
Mora Companion HD Orange
Maybe:
Mora Robust HQ
Mora Chisel

I'm looking to order 4 knives since that equates to only about 2 bags of groceries, so if the smurfs steal it, it's not the end of the world.
I would like to order some more AHTI's from the same place, so this is a trial run.










 

[Grathr]

I never got one of those. Looks good thoug.

[kirk13]

I'll get some posted at the weekend

[magentus]

Another vote for the DC4  - I've had one for around 12 years - nice and compact, easy to use and comes in a nice leather sheath.

I also use a chefs steel because that's how my dad taught me, and I carry a little ceramic rod I got from our local scrap store. It's super portable and super easy to use.
See pic below for ceramic rod, and just below my Spirit you can see the DC4 sheath;

the reason i think i like the DC4 more then a rod is that it's easier to get the angle right with the moras. the lansky system is even more foolproof, but i think i'll be getting a DC4.

I also must order one of these for my niece -

how do i do multiple quotes in one reply ? - it'd save my doing so many posts . . .

Just got another DC4 in today....I bought it after reading this thread....it's a stone I never want to be with out.

Love them!!!

If you "quote" the first reply you'll get the normal window with all the quoted post already in (as you have already done).  Scroll down a bit and you'll see the other replies in the thread with a "insert Quote" in the top right of each post.  Click that and you get...

....this.

I've got both the turnbox and the DC4 and while both have their uses I'd say the DC4 is going to be more useful for your Mora knives as the turnbox guides you to too steep an angle IMO.

thanks Gareth, yeah, I've decided on the DC4

[magentus]

DC4 is great for sharpening but terrible for kickin' out the jams. For that you need an MC5. I'll get my coat.

That's US$44 worth of knives, the shipping is not free just risky, so you have to balance risk with eventual unit cost.......
