2021 marks Mora‘s 130th year in the knife making business. It’s also the 30th anniversary for one of their most representative classics, the Mora 2000. Thus the company is celebrating with a special edition of this old favorite.
Despite the name, the Mora 2000 actually debuted in the early 90s. It originally came about as a response to a moose hunter’s desire for a true all-purpose outdoor fixed blade. “A knife that could perform in a hunter’s environment as well as cutting loaf, spreading butter and slicing sausages during the lunch break,” as the company’s press release puts it. So across the board the proportions and materials had to aim for that “just right” zone.
“Just Right” is a perfect description for any Mora.

Well they are sold out, so there goes my comment about the appropriateness of a limited edition Mora. I kind of think the Kansbol has this beat, similar blade profile, better sheath, and a bit cheaper? Has any one tried this blade with the varied profile; skandi to flat grind? To me it puts me off the knife as it seems weak at the belly and gives up on the simple efficiency of the skandi grind.

+1 on all fronts.

an article sometime ago (ttak?) broke down all of the different mora models. there are some variations; mine is not full tang and has the blade ground thinner towards the tip. not sure if they all have micro bevels in addition to the scandi edge but i haven’t needed to sharpen it yet. i’ll cross that bridge later.
hard to believe they are so reasonably priced, pretty much worth double.
