    Cool Now Hear This!

    Listen up all you Newbies, Numpties, & Bear Grylls/Les Stroud/Ray Mears/Tom Brown/Ron Hood/Cody Lundin wannabes! And this goes for those of you who DO know your crap also! During one of my phone conversations with our resident mouthpiece: Ken; he mentioned how he'd ordered this Mora knife from "Super-Mod Rick's" web-site http://www.safezonellc.com/mora746.html & how much he liked it. He went on & on, the only way lawyers can, & said that furthermore he was going to be ordering a lot more of them as they were the best knife for $14 (plus S.H) that he'd ever seen. He'd been putting it through some really tough trials (NOTE: not court cases.) I looked at the knife in question, told my wife about them & we ended up ordering 3 of them just a few days ago & they arrived today! I am officially declaring this the "Official Wolf-pack Survival Knife"! These knives are great! They sport a full-tang, rubberized grip for a non-slip grip, and sharp enough to fillet/clean a fish or dress out small game!
    What they won't do is chop down a tree, but I use an axe for that anyway. Buy several of these & stash them in your BOB, Your Bill, what ever you call your survival bag. Give them as gifts to cherished family members, old friends, new friends, (forget the folks you don't like!) and be a hero!

    As for all you people asking the same old question over & over again: "WHAT KIND OF SURVIVAL KNIFE SHOULD I BUY?" This is a top-notch one right here. If you want something a bit different check out the others he's got. Fast delivery & he takes care of his own! Just say: :I want the "Official Wolf-pack Survival Knife that Sarge recommends!" & you'll be in like flint. (Disclaimer for legal reasons) this is NOT a paid endorsement! As a
    matter of fact, until Rick reads this post he has no idea I'm doing this! Go for it!

    Cool No doubt!

    And those testimonials keep pouring in! My next item for purchase from "Safe-Zone" will be the "Blast-Match"! But I'm a little short on green right now, but that's on my "To Order" list!

    Most of my stuff has been "appropriated" by my honey or one of my/her kids.

    But I still have the Mora.......

    Welcome Bugler. How about slicing your way over to the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself?

    http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14

    Let it be known that I had nothing to do with any of this. The only thing I"ll say in my defense is that, despite what my posts might say in jest, I have a very high ethical and moral compass. That translates into everything I do. 'nough said.

    its hard to find the right thing like that isnt it. my knives are getting old now.
    my camillus "savage" is getting obvious wear spots on the blade.

    my buck w/full tang and rubber pommel cost me 80"bucks" and it dosent hold an edge too well(stainless)

    so i may try one of the 14 dollar ones.

    Cool Here's the deal...!

    The reason that I'm calling this "The Official Wolf-Pack Survival Knife" is because of the following:

    1.) It's long on quality & short on cost. While some of the members on here can afford to pay out $50 to $100 for a big 'ole "elephant gutting/Crocodile Dundee " knife there are many young members, or folks with tight budgets who can't. Therefore this knife is the best place to start. Besides, if you lose it you're not out all that much as opposed to that $85 blade you're wearing right now.

    2.) The blade will hold up to anything that it's designed to handle. It's NOT designed for prying, chopping, or cutting through heavy bones, but then, most knives should never be used for those purposes anyway. Use a pry bar or axe for those jobs. The right tool for the job is always the best policy.

    3.) The Mora 746 has a nice rubberized grip which prevents it from slipping from a wet, slick hand.

    4.) It's light weight makes it ideal for packing or wearing in the field. My wife suffers from an illness that affects her grip & she can't hold onto anything very heavy, this is perfect!

    5.) We get a lot of "newbies" that are clueless about what kind of a "Survival Knife" they should buy. One of the 1st thing that catches their eye is one of those "hollow-handled Rambo jobs" that run $15 to $20. For the same price they can get one of these & be a lot better off.

    6.) The Mora knife comes highly recommended by Cody Lundin in both his book: "98.6 Degrees: The Art Of Keeping Your A$$ Alive!" & his survival school. He also sells the Mora from his website.

    So there you have it folks. Don't have a good knife, short on green & not sure what to get, or even if you have a bunch of more expensive ones in your collection, this baby belongs on your belt!

    Cool Almost forgot....

    I need to also say this: Every time the question comes up about which knife to buy, 50 members give 50 different opinions. This has to be confusing to the person who asked the question. Having one knife to focus on should end that problem.

    Make sure you check out ALL of the Moras. There are dozens of designs to choose from. There are also a variety of sheaths available, including leather sheaths.

    Remy - You've obviously never owned a Mora. Nothing you said is true. I have a 780 that I carry and use it every day. It holds a great edge and it does everything I ask it to. By the way, there is a difference between cheap and inexpensive. They are inexpensive but they certainly are not cheap.
