If I get the change to be with him again, for sure he is going to get a new knife 😂

Yes, some times I do. Some of the knives I do to be offered to someone but other end up being sold on eBay

Já viu no meu canal a entrevista com o Humberto Costa ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfIn6adeZp1paM

These came to market from time to time in the auction sites. You have to be consistence in the search :)

in did !!!

Done. Next one I will has that info

I am pretty confidente it’s a simple carbon steel. Unfortunately this maker closed in the early 1960s and very few technical info survived the test of times :(

@@Oldmora Noted with many thanks.

indeed. I can only imagine the adventures that knife had with the previous owner

It’s always difficult to put a number on this models that are less recognized by the majority, as a Mora knife. I don’t remember exactly what I paid for it on the auction, but it was above 100€. In the right auction, with the right publicity and production description I see it maybe reaching 150-200€.

@@Oldmora Thank you very much for your insight.

@HappyCamper-ox5cb thanks you 💪

Of course. have you check the full interview? He mentions exactly that, for different environments, different tools kzbin.info/www/bejne/gafKi32Znr91fZY

The grind back then is the same as today in most Moraknives, it's a scandi grind with microbevel.

Me too ♥️♥️♥️🤣

I personally prefer the 2000, the handle is much more comfortable. The Kansbol have the advantage that coming prepared to use with a firesteel but putting a 90 degree spine is an easy task. Both use the exact same blade blank, they are just finished differently

@@Oldmora thank for the info. I have a 2000 and love it. Its honestly as close to a 1 knive solution as i believe there is. Handle is perfect why would the chose to get rid of some rubber on the grip? As far as i can tell from photos the kans dosnt have as nice a finish on the blade either

@piningbuck the plastic used in the kansbol has the advantage of being more resistance. The blade is the 2000 is polished, the blade of the Kansbol has a mate finish

Is a really nice one 😍

It is

Thank you! Cheers!

One of this I have to make a full video showing all the variants

@@Oldmora Yes, please do it! 👍

Thanks 💪

That's my precious KJ Eriksson n.52 with more 100 yrs :)

they did them back in the day up to early 2000, model 545.

ohh yes !!!!

I really like those handles (it’s very similar my vintage KJE that I carry all the the time ) I only think that for a small knife like an Eldris a shorter handle would be better.

It’s a Japanese leather finish / burnisher called Tokonole

It’s very rewarding in so many ways.

Could not agree more!!!

Temos sim amigo!!! grande abraço

Thanks 🙏

Muito agradecido 🙏👍💪

Indeed. I confess I was a bit skeptical about the handle before I tried it. But the handle is awesome

@@Oldmora yeah I thought the guard would be in the way, but luckily not. Only downside is there's no sheath for it.

Thanks. The please and honor was all mine. Cody is such an amazing person.

I have always mixed filling about a restoration project. I normally try to distinguish knives that were heavily use over a large period of time (normally they present edges that were sharpened over and over again and sometime mushrooming on the back) and just knives that were used for some times and forgotten. Those that were heavily use I leave as they are. Those that I feel were forgotten I restore.

There is something primal about our love for knives

They should to a sheath variant with a firesteel loop like this 👍

I normally use thin bungie cord for when the firesteel get wares off and the loop doesn’t grab it as it should. Thanks for the input 🙏

There are no right or wrongs just personal preferencies. I may self always carry a Mora and a hatchet for the harder work. But is just that, personal preferences. Others prefer heavy duty knives etc. it depended on the person, on the environment, availability etc

Thanks 👍
