I have a Mora #1 that I use in the kitchen. It hones nicely on the yellow Coticule .

 

"Coticule" and I are strangers. I use diamond stones by "Sharpal" to sharpen my Victorinox kitchen knives.

THWACK!

 

Today, just for the Halibut

Halibut, but what's the Porpoise?

 

Shad if I know...

THWACK!

 

That's all nice and dandy 'till you buy the Eldris… That's when you noticed you've left the "useful to fend off a bear" phase and entered the "fanboy" stage.
I have one in green.

i love my eldris,now that i figured out how to sharpen it,lol

 

I am now on another computer - so here's the Mora inventory:

 

I own a few Moras. I think the Kansbol was the last one I picked up. Good weight to it. I’ve got a black Eldris. You know what though that thing is a good little carver.

 

Excellent quality control.

THWACK!

 

I’m stuck following this thread and can’t get trout of it! Ugh, laughing so much makes me feel eel.

 

I don't know, I thought this thread really smelt.

 

I somehow fell into that deep rabbit hole of knife collecting which was another passion of mine,both pocketknives and fixed blade knives, some are pretty expensive for what they are but I do have quite a few Mora knives as well for they are very practical and do their job well. Why I even have one Mora out in my little log cabin by my backyard pond that I use for cleaning my fish that I freshly caught. Don't let anyone kid you, they can fillet a fish right with the best of them even with their scandi grind. Yea man, I can almost smell that process of cleaning a bunch of fish now.Like roses in the air.

 

He felt that he smelt dem fishies.

THWACK!

 

Just after I bought my first Mora knife, I had to go out and find something to sharpen it with.

 

Nice!!!

I used to collect ancient and used straight razors which I learned to hone and use. I also use the stones for touching up the edges on knives. I have learned that for me, I prefer carbon steel like those used on Mora and Opinel. My EDC knife is a $20 Milwaukee Fastback with a tanto shaped blade.

 

The mora on the far right is one of my favorite neck knives. The knife on the far left is not really a neck knife size but it is my field dressing knife for whitetail deer, a Frontier Valley by LT Wright.. I use it often while on stand so I like it handy around my neck when I have heavy winter clothes on. Knives on the belt are a pain to get to when you need them at that time of year.

 

I am often asked if I have my knife with me because my family knows it's a habit I've acquired. A friend once asked me if I carried a knife. I said no and asked why I would need one. He said, "you might want to cut something". What I do not like is a baggy pocket and prefer a knife with a clip.

 

Same here and that's why I most often carry either a Spydeco or Benchmade with a clip. I have also enjoyed wearing my Swiss Farmer with an added clip so that it just hangs in my pocket. I can't even tell you how many times that the saw in the Farmer has seen use in the wooda or around the farm.

 

I need to lighten my knife load a little bit. Collecting is fun but I’m starting to learn the wisdom of “Less is more” too. Also “The more you know, the less you need”. I can thank Cody “barefoot Hippy” Lundin for that little gem.

 

Oh you are so right. If I only knew then what I know now.
