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

SPYDERCO knife Centofante 4 VG-10
Well I've been wanting to try a wharncliffe blade for a while, I think these are easier to sharpen than spear or drop point blades as you don't have to curve the blade on the sharpenong stone.

Peter Atwood Prybaby tool
The prybaby is a keychain item created by the american tool maker Peter Atwood.
It's primary use as its name indicates is to pry things, mine is made of CMP154cm stainless cutlery steel.
The prybaby can lift a lot of weight before suffering any deformation, you can open doors with it!Besides prying things the tool comes with a bottle opener,a scredriver tip on the other end and a wire stripper\v notch.
The tip of the tool can be used to remove nails, scrap paint, etc.
The number of real uses for a prybaby depends on the user, the longer you have it the more uses you will find, Peter said it and I can only say i'ts true!
now it has been discontinued and a G2 is available.

CRKT Koji Hara ICHI pocket Knife
A few days ago i (finally) received after 2 moths of wait my all black CRKT Koji Hara ICHI knife, wich means "one" in japanese.
It measures:
Cutting Edge: 2.50” (6.4 cm)
Thickness: 0.096” (0.245 cm)
Steel: 420J2, 52-55 HRC , black TiNi coated
Closed: Handle length: 3.25” (8.3 cm)
Open: Overall length: 5.625” (14.3 cm)
Weight: 1.9 oz. (54 g) nothing :-)
This small knife is really great, i love it, it features the patented OutBurst assisted opening technology wich makes it open VERY FAST, the spring can be disabled so you can open it like a normal folder, uses a elliptical thumb ramp wich is very nice.
The blade is very tippy making it a nice utility cutter, I use mine as a backup for my main folder wich isn't small and taking it out in the public may rise eyebrows, it comes very sharp.
It's nice to have a smaller blade for daily cutting tasks.
the handle is made of "air stepped" zytel and kraton G, very grippy.
lastly the liners are thick and 420j2 steel like the blade and the clip.
it has no lanyard hole.
Bought it for 21€ from ebay, great price for the quality, I suggest it
