Yep...
My Dear Friends,
Mora Knives are a well-kept secret. I have kept one on hand for years now.
Get a carbon steel version, force a patina on the blade with vinegar or mustard, clean and oil the blade, touch it up on a fine stone and it will be good for years. They're cheap enough to have one in every bug-out bag, vehicle, etc., and you're less likely to cry if you lose one.

780 Craftsman is real nice if you can find one. Kid you not, it is the sharpest knife out of the box I have ever gotten. Hate to say it, but that even includes my Spydies. Got two at the same time, both were equally sharp.

So these are not so easy to find? I'd rather get one that's easy to get but thanks for the recommendation.Simple Man wrote:780 Craftsman is real nice if you can find one.

I think this particular one may be disco'd, look into Triflex steel though.
Carbon steel with differential heat treat best I can tell.

I was looking for some cheap knives to give away as presents and was recommended the moras. I ended up buying myself about 12 of them. They are great knives. The High Q and alaround are nice because it has a finished spine but all of the ones I have bought are excellent at every task I have thrown at them..
These are the easiest knifed I own to sharpen and I can get them scary sharp..
The no1 I use in my kitchen and it's my main steak knife

In the first pic, the sec knife from the bottom is the topQ allround and IMHO has the the best grip. My pics suck but it has more texture than the compaion and I use it the most. I do have a compaion around here somewhere and the topQ handles are way better then the compaion, and it has a finished spine, which is nice.. My sec choice is the 711g which is the forth knife down in the first pic. It has a little wider grip but it is very comfortable. I have small hands and thought I would not like the 711 wider grip but it really does fell nice and it is very secure....357 mag wrote:Which should I get?
The all around or the companion? Both are in carbon,the companion looks like it has a little bigger handle, and a 1/4 more blade.
The companion is like 14 shipped and the all around is like 12.50.
