9 ай бұрынDespite all of the modern, polymer handled knives that Morakniv produces, the Classic line remains a popular choice. What keeps this classic line of knives in the forefront? For many uses, whether it is bushcraft, wood working, wood carving or just collecting, the Mora Classic line with it's scandi ground blade and wood handle is useful and enduring.
Here is an Amazon link to their current version of this knife: amzn.to/48lovhl

That was an excellent presentation, sir. You reminded me of the shipwrights that taught me to listen to the spirit of the wood if I wanted to build a proper boat. Thanks for the book recommendations. I'll get them ASAP. Best wishes. Oh, and I just subscribed. 👍

I didn’t even know the wooden handle Moras existed, I’m used to seeing the ones with plastic handles. Great video!

You don't see the wood handled versions in stores much but you can buy them online. Thanks for watching!

Love the classic mora. Really just a high production puukko, used for everything and anything all over scandinavia.

my buddy and I back in the 90's bought the blade and made our own handles; mahogany and antler, LOVE this blade. I gotta go strop it now! LOL

Was the mahogany and antler together on the same knife? Either way, they sound cool. My local Rockler store stocks blades. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for watching!
@ed5042 9 ай бұрын
yup! cap of handle and index finger location near rear of blade is mahogany, handle is antler which curves for a right handed use! trying to figure out how to send you a pic~@@workbenchknifeandtool

Great knives! I use the new classic 1/0 for carving and its perfect size, a tad bit smaller than the 106
@workbenchknifeandtool 3 ай бұрын
I have been considering the 1/0 size. I may have to get one!
@manguydude905 3 ай бұрын
You won't be disappointed! Note the handle is quite a bit smaller but I feel it's great for control!

@@manguydude905 my Classic is old enough to have a smaller handle than the current knives like my 106 and 120. I also have a vintage Scout with a tough size handle.

Remember a cold winter in the 70s. Grandpa and I in the car on a dirt road, he suddenly stopped, having spotted the perfect christmas tree out in the snow. Looked in the trunk and said a few nasty words, since he left the hand axe at home. Found a steel pipe. Walked out and cut the small tree down with his red Mora and took it home to my parents. Said it could endure everything short of Soviet nukes. ;)

@@workbenchknifeandtool Still have it in my toolbox, after he passed at 97. That was also the very one he used to teach me to make flutes out of Rowan or Sallow in the late spring. Back then the red Mora-paint was glossy and a bit slippery if having cold hands. Still have two very faint scar marks ;)

Also another connection with man and wood, there would be no childbirth without a man with wood, historical speaking 😅
