The blade is a little over 4 inches give or take.  The handle works perfect.  The antler came off the first buck my pops shot so he made blades for my brother and I.  I got the right antler so if you imagine riding a deer like a horse the curve of the antler goes perfect with your grip and the shape/texture of it makes it so even if blood or water gets on it your hand wont slide.

And so far I have never used it.

Amanita, those paraframes are good little beaters. I know a couple folks who carry those a lot, one of which is a real old model that's seen better days. It's really cool seeing all the years of abuse, I need to snap a photo of it.

That's really awesome that your pops (father of grandfather?) made those blades! I knew they were handmade, but by family is even better. I imagine he burned the tang in? You need to ask if he'll make another if I send an antler to y'all!

Hex, that Mora IS a real nice knife. You honestly couldn't ask for much more. Their carbon steel is unparalleled, especially for the money. Is it one of the red handled ones?

red handled. don't get me wrong, it's really fucking nice in my eyes. but i see people spending hundreds on knives and i got this for under 20, so i figure there's gotta be a reason people are spending so much more than me. as for the one i got i am perfectly content.

The red handled ones are classics!

You can really get sucked into the different blade steels, and handle materials, and the historical significance of different blade designs, and their uses. I've spent my fair share of money on knives in all price ranges. But at the end of the day, a knife is a tool, and it's only use is to cut things, and they all do it more or less equally. I've found that the novelty is gone with the ones I've got, and I plan on selling most of them. I'm keeping a few that I use the most, and a couple sentimental ones that'll sit in a drawer and that's it.

Your red handled mora is going to do anything and everything you ask of it, and you'll more than likely have it the rest of your life. If you're content with it, be content! And with time, that Mora is gonna be worth more to YOU, than the $400 folder that some guy got because of the marketing of tolerances and blade materials and all the rest of that crap.

:thumbup: seriously appreciate that.

i hear the carbon steel that mora uses for their blades is prone to rust. can you recommend good practices for taking care of it?

Keep it oiled, and keep it dry. You can use vegetable oil if your going to have it around food, or the fat from cutting meat. If you're just running around outside with it, a drop of 3in1 works fine. But food grade is always best, just in case.

Carbon steel develops a patina, which is that grey/black corrosion you'll see on older knives. This is perfectly fine and is going to prevent the metal from rusting. Orange is bad, black/grey is good.

You can force a patina, which some folks will do with various acids, or food products, like sticking the blade in a potatoe for a few hours. This gets the patina started for you and you can get some cool results. But if you just cut some food with it you'll build a patina naturally over time. Up to you.

But that's it really, just keep it oiled, dry, and sharp, and you'll have that thing forever.

That Mora is a scandi grind, you know what to do to sharpen it properly?

You're a scary chick. Why not like a diamond pendent or something similar around your neck?

That looks like it probably isn't too handy for cutting cheese or whittling...

Do you live in a particularly dangerous neighborhood?

Haha! Scary chick! I think she's the opposite! Matter fact , that IS a diamond pendant. Just look at the shape. That things more useful than a shiny rock anyways.
What a badass little "stabber". Would you elaborate on how you hold it though? It seems like you'd put your finger through the hole and grasp it in your fist like a knuckle duster, am I right?


Hex, I think that's something you'll have to research on your own, but your definitely going to want to get a whetstone if you don't already have one. There's a whole lot to explain about edge bevels and sharpening that I would rather not do here, especially when there's a ton of videos already explaining it much better than I ever could!

Asante said:
Given the blade style chances are you would probably LOVE the Fallkniven F1



Its a legit Swedish Air Force fighter pilot knife, so a modern combat knife. It has VG10 steel sandwiched inbetween softer steel, its convex (opposite to a straight razor) so it has a LOT of blade strength, people use it for bushcraft, literally stick it between two stones and use it as a step-up. Very good all-weather grip.


I'm gonna get me one of the Fallkniven knives at some point. Love em.

My father.  He got the knives made by someone else from the point the antlers were removed from the deer.  I wish he knew knife making because that would mean I do to.  I’ll ask him who made it and pass that info along to you, he apparently has ‘options’ because my pops got a letter stamped in the blade and a symbol engraved into the butt of the antler so it may be like a tattoo scenario where ya’ll just bullshit and whatever you agree on is what it is.

As far as those paraframes they’re like custom fit for me.  There’s a big one and a small one and the big one seemed ackward for me.  The little one tucks away perfect and Gerber’s been good since the old days.  My first knife was actually a Gerber lockback my dad gave me.:cookiemonster:

I think Asante was looking for more specific information about this particular knife.

He asked who sells them. They're called neck knives and I linked to the biggest seller of them in the USA.

I think I answered his question pretty well.
