Thanks! I've kept it nice for the 20 years I've had it.

Fine piece. I like Parker as a brand.

But they don't make any of the shavers like they used to.

Nice. I also have one in my backpack always. Rarely use it, but when I do need it, it's there. Never thought about customizing it. Good one!

Very nice 😍

Turning them into a small project is a great idea

The Opinel knives are goated!
My kids have the version with the rounded tip since they were four or five.
Great for carving sticks, hunting for mushrooms or just showing off with the nice belt etui they came with!

That is one loved knife! Good job!

Thanks for the timely update!!

6 months later - would definitely buy it again. I almost certainly use the chisel end more than the knife.

Exactly!

I wouldn't worry too much about the actual durability, when I mentioned fragile it was more about keeping a good edge on it. My experience with single bevel edges is mostly with wood chisel and some kitchen knives, and both seem to require a lot more maintenance to keep them sharp.

Upon closer inspection, the chisel end seems to have a lower angle than the knife edge. It’s a relatively thick carbon steel blade, so I’m not worried about durability, and it should be easy to sharpen. I’ll probably just keep the chisel end sharp and leave the blade itself dull.

Always happy to see a Mora.

Wow the one you're retiring has seen some things for sure! Another great example of quality not needing to cost a lot.

Moraknil is the bomb. Got the water knife version, and it was only like $20! Round end, serrated blade, made for cutting line, even if it's wrapped around something soft like a seal or you. Bonus: Had a bright orange pommel and floats handle up. Found it a couple of times after dropping it in the water.

Sweet. I love Mora! I've got one with the wood handle.

Or turn it into a spear head...

could always re-seat it in a new handle! i’m pretty sure there’s a dimple in the tang you can use for a pin even.

is it more work than a $12 knife deserves? depends on who you ask lmao

The blade is loose inside the handle and wiggles quite a bit. I think this knife's done.

Congrats on the new knife.

I would totally attempt to revive the old one as well, just for grins. Give that sumbitch a grind on the belt sander and you'll probably be good to go... Albeit with a blade that'll be quite a bit shorter than when it was new!

Wonder how hard it'll be to keep the edge, guess it prob depends on what you use it for? Single bevels can be sharp as hell, but kinda fragile imo.

Yeah both edges are single bevel. Didn't actually even realise that while in the store. My only other single bevel knife is Opinel and that thing cuts crazy good.

I'm not sure about the angle but looks about the same.

I have around 4 in total. All in different toolboxes actually.

How many Moraknives do you have now? I ended up with about 5 or so after some sales went on the last few years.

I keep a stainless steel one in the kitchen for when I can't find a good sharp knife, and it always cuts

Is the blade side a single bevel as well, also is the chisel bevel the same angle as the blade?
