New Mora Neck Knife

[Blackhorse]

Just talked myself into yet another new knife. This time a supremely practical neck knife made by Mora of Sweden. They call it the Eldris. Sandvik 12C27 Stainless, Scandi Grind. $23 and free shipping on Amazon. Feels really good in the hand, very solid and secure. Blade is just 2.2" long.

It comes in about 5 or 6 colors. I liked the red best, so that's what I got.

Want to know more? Google it or do a search on uTube.

That's a pretty slick little number!

 

[Blackhorse]

That it is. It cannot be beat for the price.

It reminds me of the hard working Roselli knives from Finland made from proprietary high carbon steel. They have a number of designs with that very short, thick blade. Good as a carving blade too.

Here is one of those Roselli knives...

And the Roselli page from Ragweed Forge. I LOVE these knives. I buy the blades to use in the knives I make.

The Knife Center is near where I have restaurants in VA. I've visited a few times to pick up a knife, a very cool place!
I rec'd the same email this AM...must resist.....too many knives...

 

[Blackhorse]

The same email?

 

[riff raff]

The same email?

They send out an email newsletter weekly (or so).  It's a great way to lighten your wallet...
The email this morning featured this Mora neck-knife.

Ahhhhh.

I'll bite: what does "neck knife" mean?

 

[Blackhorse]

Neck Knife = small knife carried on a lanyard around one's neck...so as to be instantly ready for use when needed. Frequently used by fishermen, hikers, farm workers, boaters, Starbucks baristas...etc.

I have one, though I can't stand to wear it. But I can see how the name might have other connotations.

My neck knife is called the Mountain Man Knife made by Daniel Winkler, the blade is Damascus, the action is finger lever and the bolsters are Elk Antler, his wife makes the sheaths out of Bison hide.

Nice knives on display here. I for one, could never get used to the neck knife carry concept for my work as an LEO. It just didn't seem to feel right under a shirt or even over the ballistic vest.

Banjo, I'm a knife guy, thanks for sharing the picture of your neck knife. From what I see in the picture it's not only a looker but a very functional knife. Because of the 15n20 in combination with a good high carbon steel most Damascus blades can be sharpened razor like and hold their edge well. Just keep a fine coat of oil ( I use Rand CLP ) on the blade and you'll have no rust issues.

I wish more people on this board would post pictures of their knives, not that anyone will comment....lol.


KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Although made to be worn around the neck by Mountain Men, and Women, at Rendezvous Navyflake, it has a belt loop and the neck lanyard is removable.

Here is a neck knife I made a long time ago, it was a kit where all the materials you need to create the knife was included. I did an acid wash on the blade and made a small Kydex sheath. Knife locks well in the sheath. Small blade but comes in handy. Sorry, not the best lighting.

KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Very nice knife Lonecoyote and I truly like smaller knives, as a deer hunter I get a chuckle over some of the knives I see others carry but that's what makes this blue marble interesting.
