Just for that we're going to banish you to Finland and force you to use a Puukko from now on!

Now, I'm giving it a fair try and I am faithfully carrying it instead of my handmade knife every weekend outing. It might make bird season on my side this year as well. I think that I am holding up very well for a knifemaker!

I also reminded the forums that I hate Mora with a passion.

It'll keep stuff hot for five years? Now that's impressive.

I had never heard of Retki before. They make some nice gear.

Was the explanation really that bad...

I do still get lost in translation every now and then. What I meant is that the heat keeping values mentioned in my post have guarantee of staying on that level for five years.

@Rick: Googled them, didn't you? I have other stuff from the same company. And I must say that I really like them. Only thing from them I have so far managed to break was a headlamp. It didn't seem to like me stepping on it...

Nah, you did just fine. Sometimes, in order to appreciate my humor, you need to have a love of Swedish knives.
