Mora Knives are famous around the world as these are made in Sweden, are sharp, great quality for the price of 10USD or 13€ imported here in Italy.
I got a 780 Triflex in my BB order (see link) to try these knives as I often read of their quality and utility as camping knives, I am impressed with the quality of this one, Swedish steel is great.
The triflex steel is best described as a material between laminated steel and plain carbon steel hardened to HRC 59-60 with a softer surface that improves the tensile strength considerably.Though it will not allow bending as laminated steel.
It is a bit less sharp than the 740, may be just mine.
It has a 4in\10cm long blade, the handle is Black plastic with a Frosts stamp, tang is 50%, has a lanyard hole.
The sheath is good quality but horrible, it is made of plastic and does in fact protect the blade but not the knife which may fall off easily, the belt “loop” is crap, put a carabiner through the hole as I do and it’s OK, has a water drain hole.
Will replace the sheath with a better one when I find it
11,98$+SH
