Back in the days, 25/30 years ago, when we still had mandatory army service (≈ 1 year after high school), we all got one of those to our gear, exactly that kind. Great channel 🙂
The 3 crowns on the sheet, is the Swedish Army stamp of approval, yet its the basic kit knife. Later on if you had signed up for trench foot and really loved eating mosqitoes cause you watched too many rambo movies you recived A1 fällkniven a much larger pice.
You were lucky to have been issued such knives in the Swedish army. In the 1970s and 80s, we were issued with either R1 or R4 assault rifles and handed them back after two years’ conscription. My nephew in the Swiss Army got a knife and a rifle and kept them after one year of service.
We have several of these in our summer house. I've always looked at them as being old memories, but basically junk. But this has inspired me to see that they could be given a new life.
In 1972 i saved money to get my very first Morakniv, the handle was made of green plastic and it was very cool back then . Later in life when you bought around of 50 meters of 2 by 4 they throw a Morakniv in for free.
Quality is not that good though. These are knifes bought by construction workers, used for a short time and then disgarded. They are nice when knew for as long as it lasts
@@philiplaurell1163they make the knives for different applications. The newer knives with plastic grips are made for the construction worker market. They are cheap, but made from high quality tool steel. They are edge-hardened and will retain an edge for longer, but are difficult to re-sharpen. Older knives with wooden grips are usually of a different steel quality than the plastic ones and are easier to sharpen. You can even find Mora knives with laminated steel. They've made dozens of models over the years and made changes both in terms of materials and also visual design changes. It is sometimes hard to say what type of steel is used in specific models, just from looking at the handle and sheath, but the old ones are always worth a closer look because some of them are superb quality blades.
@@niclasedelsten6428 yes, i really know ferro rods.. thats most stupid equipment nowadays. Who is so stupid, at get his lighter wet?🤦♂️🤦♂️ There is ways protect lighter against moisture. Its more easy protect lighter, than make fire with ferrorod. Most ankward thing in youtube videos is that ferrorod fire starting. All tubers do that on every videos🤦♂️🤦♂️ no one want see that all the time🤦♂️
Beautiful work and knife. Good sound quality of the video, especially that it is without music. - Only thing I miss is the words 'printed' on the blade.
I have this memory that this was from the mid to late 1980s based on the plastic sheath. The belt loop would break within the year and people hated the plastic design of the sheath as it made the knife feel cheap.
Этот нож ещё до реставрации был в хорошем состоянии! Не сильно повреждён корозией! Поэтому мастеру не составило большого труда довести его до идеального состояния! Мне понравилась ваша работа
чудовий ніж. Маю такий у користуванні багато років. Не знаю яким чином - але ніж довго тримає заточку, хоч сталь загартована не на високу твердість. Також зменшив підпальцевий упор, щоб поліція не причепилася за ХЗ
Amazing work on that very rusted Mora. I hope to discover on in the future. I would rate that a 10. E veryone of those I have seen has that broken section on the sheath's belt loop.
AWESOME RSTORE/REFINISH JOB.Crazy I have the exact set up in a E.Jonsson,funy thing my scabbard belt loop is broken as well ;] .My scabbard seems to be a molded over leather plastic coating,I've not seen this before.
I couldn't begin to tell you the year in which that particular knife was made but I give you a 10/10 on the knife restoration. The one thing I didn't understand about the sheath was why didn't you heat it up to make the belt holes flat, or was that the way it was made? I'm not a knife or restoration expert so I have to ask.
The belt slots on this model of sheath were flat from the factory, but they were a bad design and you needed to pry them apart real hard in order to thread them on a leather belt. The belt loop used to be a separate piece made from leather or pvc and riveted to the sheath. These were much softer. Later models were re-designed so that the middle piece was offset from the others, making room for a thicker belt. Most workers would not carry the knife on a belt though but hang the knife from a button on their overalls, either on the bib, by the hip or on the thigh. Hanging the knife from the belt is pretty awkward when you sit in a car or on a chair. It's also in the way if you want to use a tool belt or if you work outside and wear a jacket. So most guys actually carry the knife on the thigh pocket next to the folding ruler. Swedish work clothes usually come with these dedicated knife buttons so you can choose wich way you want to carry your knife. You can see the top of the slot has a wider hole to go around a button.
Awaome! Good as new! :) Too bad you weren't able to keep the engraving. 90% of stuff made nowadays is not made to be able to be fixed/restored... A shame.... :/ May I ask how do you come across so many of this knives? 🙏💪

Kids today would be better off if military service was still mandatory

Swedish Army standard knife is Mora 2000

@@petter5721 It is now. But back in the day when conscription was mandatory this is what we had. And it's not a bad knife.
Gotta give it a 9. If you engraved the made in Sweden back on the blade then it would be a 10
Mora makes great knives. Awesome restoration. They have made the Classic number 2 for over a century.
That turned out better than new. I’m giving it a 10 plus! Awesome results. I’d be proud to own that any time!
The sound quality on this video is truly immersive!
I’ll never unsubscribe - fellow knife enthusiast/ collector/ lover etc 😅 👏 Thanks 🙏
10/10. Now I want a restored Mora knife
Beautiful, easy 10/10. Love that model!
I love my Moras, best knives I ever own. Feel good in the hand, size is baby bear just right. Sharp. Just great knives.
Hello, super resto project. You did a great job. And never turned it into something its not. Super good value knives.👍
Found my grandfathers old well used mora knife, must be 50 years old.
I have restored it and use it often now.
Wonderful piece of quality!
Sorry but the quality of a morakniv is absolutely worthless.
We have several of these in our summer house. I've always looked at them as being old memories, but basically junk. But this has inspired me to see that they could be given a new life.
As always, another awesome restoration, keep bringing new life into old items bro 👍👍
Usually I like patina but in this case making it look better then new was the way to go. 10 out of 10!
I ❤ MORA knive. Good job👍
Wonderfully done! You definitely have an affection for Mora knives.
Amazing. Looks like brand new🤘🤘🤘. My dad had exactly the same knife. Had been amazing to make it shine again.
Excellent job as usual!

Lovely restoration!
another great and delicious video. Plus, it shows in detail how the popular Mora N°2 is built, which is very interesting for a knife enthusiast
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhmazing!! I know that hand sanding takes forever,,,,,,done a few in my time!! Good job!!!

Another amazing restoration, I believe that knife looks better than it did when it was new! Great job!!

10/10 probably sharper than a New one.Great job👍
Mora is my favorite knife. Sharp as a razor, light and has many options all at a great price.

10. Great job.
great work 10/10 , love me a mora got more than a few
Крута робота! 12 балів!🙂👍
Amazing!
And why for hell do you remove the mora lettering ? That was the best part of a restoration, mate you make me crazy 😅😊😊😊
also why wreck the 90-degree factory back of the blade, which is needed for firestarting?
Firestarting?? There is lighters nowadays😂😂😂
@@JanihonkalaxxFerro Rod = Eldstål.
It makes sparks when scratched with an sharp edge, even if wet.
So what do you do when your lighter is wet?
@@niclasedelsten6428 yes, i really know ferro rods.. thats most stupid equipment nowadays. Who is so stupid, at get his lighter wet?🤦♂️🤦♂️ There is ways protect lighter against moisture.

Very nice, 👍
Nice work!
11 just nice and elegance 🇻🇪👍🏻💯👏
Flat out 10! 👍
Супер,я в захваті...10!
10 out of 10. Great restoration. You definitely are very skilled at this.

Nr 611
12/10! Fantastisk!
The finger guard, the red handle and the sheath together with the Frosts blade indicates that this knife is from around 1970 or later.
Mantab sekali bos...kelihatan bagus sekali...
9 out of 10, all the engraving needs to be restored to!
10 for job well done.
Eugen, du hast ein echtes Talent!!! 👏👏👏 🇺🇦👍👍👍
This is a 10/10
Этот нож ещё до реставрации был в хорошем состоянии! Не сильно повреждён корозией! Поэтому мастеру не составило большого труда довести его до идеального состояния! Мне понравилась ваша работа
That’s a 12! 👍😎👍
Nice
good job man.
Looks like brand new, so here's an 11 for ya!
Nice!
I'll give you an 11. The extra point is for fixing the belt loop on the sheath. I didn't think that was possible.

Але ці моделі і зараз продаються. Здається, по товщині клинка по ХЗ не проходить
WOW 😃😃💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing work on that very rusted Mora. I hope to discover on in the future. I would rate that a 10. E veryone of those I have seen has that broken section on the sheath's belt loop.
Well done! Personally I would've kept the Mora-lettering. Thanks for sharing!
🎉10. Крута річ. Стримана лаконічність і відмінна якість. Маєш вєсч😂😂
I give you a 9 because 10 is perfect. It’s very hard to make something perfect.🇺🇸👍🤪
Thanks)
Laminated carbon steel perfection!
the ones we had in the airforce 1980 had a wooden handle and no finger guard and a very carbon steel blade.
I rate it 9.9, the sheath repair is as good as it can get, but a new sheath would be better.

May I ask how do you come across so many of this knives?
