There's a fair few fans of Mora on here, I think they're great for the price. I know some aren't keen on the plastic sheath but there are some mods you can do on youtube with them that are interesting. I usually take one up the hills with me but like yourself I wouldn't carry one about town, I'm too pretty for prison. :o
I dont really mind the sheath at all, it does its job. I dont clip it to my belt or anything its mainly to stop me slicing my hands to pieces while rummaging around in my bag or jacket pockets
I'm the same, I don't carry them on my belt, its usually in a rucksack pocket so not an issue. If you're interested here's a simple mod, there are plenty of vids (natch) on youtube

Cheers Deeps, I haven't seen that before. I know there are Mora models that come like that as standard (see below) but looking at it I actually would prefer the paracord version.

So a little update I got the gerber paracord mini, good little knife although it does lock, that's quite disapointing, I am still going to use it as an EDC knife though as I don't go out in built public spaces and police can only search on suspicion so I should be ok and it will be concealed. It's a great little knife and I'm putting my review on another thread later on.

Up to you mate but you'd be breaking the law. For a small knife you'll probably only use occasionally, well its up to you but remember it doesn't have to be your fault to end up in a situation where the police can search you, if someone has a pop at you and they get involved.....

There are plenty of folk who know more about them than me (I'm a SAK cat) but there are a number of legal carry knives that others use, we've discussed it plenty times on here already, have a nose around.

I picked up a Lansky world legal EDC knife last weekend, not exactly something you'd put in your pocket and forget it's got a bit of weight to it but I prefer my knives to have a bit of meat to them.

Not the sharpest out of the packet but nothing I couldn't sort out.

I killed mine but emailed the warranty arm of lansky and they replaced it having seen the picture
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Blimey that looks pretty solid, how did you manage to kill it?

looks like the blade was over hardened causing stress fractures ...... either that or you put it in a vice and belted it with a hammer lol

I was looking at one of these, but then I seen the TBS Boar and fell in love with it, but the price of the Mora is very tempting indeed!
