I might just try that Coot, I like old remedies like you give on here. I respect the ways you grew up with and every comment you have to offer is of some interest. Did you heat the metal or just rub?

I just cut them in half and rub on and let dry, usually gives different effects on different steel. I still can't get Rick to eat a small portion of poison ivy and build up his immunity, some old methods I learned from my Grandpa, born in 1895 and an old lady that lived next
to mom & dad that lived to 112 and her family that were almost independent of any needs they couldn't make.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
to fight... he'll just kill you.
Nice job, Cowboy! Ever do work on old tire rims?

Cowboy,
Your powers at knife resurrection are duly noted. From the original photo it looked to me like the pitting was just too deep. OK, I admit my original diagnosis was wrong. If I stuck that knife into a zombie I would pull it back out now.
The knife at the bottom is a Mora 2000 and they are only made in stainless. Reading top to bottom, the knives are...

ETA - All of these have their good points but one that gets overlooked often is the 640 Tradesman. This is the sharpest Mora I own hands down.

Hey CS you might want to post a before and after side by side so everyone can truly appreciate the nice job you have done. I love it !!!!Still might want to think about a neon handle if you replace it so you don't lose it again!!!
Stainless steel has it's place just don't care to add anymore stainless knives to my collection. Now if I can find a Mora knife of the size proportions I am used to in a carbon steel like this one is. I do beleive that is one I would add to my collection.

Hi folks! Anyone have a link for the green knife with the lanyard hole? That's the one I want but didn't see one at the sites I looked at. Thanks
This site might have something you like. Good prices too.Originally Posted by RichJ
The blade I want is the Mora 740. It has a 4 1/8" Carbon blade... with a lanyard hole! I can find them in red all day long for around $10, but I want the green one. The one in the pic is a 760, same blade but in stainless.
Mora makes the 760 in camo but they don't make a green handle any longer.

They don't make a 740 in green either. Only red.
There are only two being made that are in "military" colors. The 760 in camo and the 2000 is green. The 2000 is the Mora version of a survival knife.
EDIT: You can get the 860 in green sheath and trim, too. Sorry.

This is why I refered to it as a vintage Mora. Mora came out of a merge of Frost Cutlery and Erikson in 2008. I bought this knife in the mid 90's.

Great I was just getting used to the idea of this tiny little Mora being a useful preparedness tool though be it along side a real knife and some guy comes along and posts a pink knife what the -_-_?

Great thread! Like the blueing idea Coot.

Updating website! Stop by and tell me what you think!
I'm pretty sure that Frost Cutlery and Frosts are two completely separate companies. Frosts makes the Mora and Frost Cutlery makes .......... well Frosts makes the Mora.
Don't knock that little pink knife CS my other half just saw it and said "OOOOH I like that!!" JUST because it's PINK!!!!!
I beleive you are right Crash.

That little Izula, color aside is a very good knife. It is made by RAT Cutlery and is similar to the Becker/KBar BK-11. If somebody offered me a pink one, I would happily accept it.
Yeah I've looked at some Ontario knives at their site after hearing RAT this and RAT that here on this site and like some of them myself. And just for the record I've never turned down any knife someone was giving me!!!
