This is my final report on the Mora 2000 as submitted to Safe Zone LLC.
Mora 2000 knife
As a backcountry guide in Alaska I rely heavily on my equipment. A well designed rugged knife is one of my most important tools. After hearing a lot of positive comments about the Mora 2000 knife I decided to put one through some test to see how it held up.
Upon receiving the knife and examining it the first thing you notice is it’s light weight and unique blade geometry. Then the comfortable rubber type handle. Doing some reading I found that the blade is composed of Scandinavian Sandvik stainless steel. This steel holds an edge well and is fairly easy to re-sharpen in the field.
I used the knife for the following tasks:
Whittling fire tender
Making sparks with a ferro-rod
Skinning game to include splitting the brisket of a deer
Slicing vegetables and meat for meals
Chipping ice for water
Whittling triggers for traps
Cutting fabric and leather
Cutting cardboard
Cutting rope, twine, string etc,
Stripping electrical wiring
Cleaning my fingernails
A multitude of other tasks suitable to a light utility knife
The Mora 2000 preformed on the level of much pricier knives. The Mora 2000 is a reliable knife and is now part of my guiding gear. I recommend it as a good light to medium duty utility knife.
