Fire strikers holders are usually attached to those fittings. These knives are used in camping for splitting small diameter limb wood, about 1-5 inches for those small folding portable camping stoves. It's strong enough to allow striking the end edge driving it down. The knife part to cut off kindling shavings.
Thanks mate, your review helped me a lot and decide in the favour of the Stanley fatmax chisel knife. Purely because that has a full tang blade and striking cap, (going to be doing quite a bit of splitting, battoning and things requiring me to hit it with a mallet.)I know It won't arrive as ready to use as the Mora, but I like the process of sharpening anyway. The Mora, from what you've said, although very good quality carbon steel just wouldn't stand up to being struck a lot. So, thanks again. Good, concise video. Everything you said was to the point. And no stupid music. Subbed.
Depends on your use. The GW is full tang, 1/4" thick, nearly a foot long, and $50. You could get the Mora in your pocket (or a very small toolkit), and it's under $20 shipped. They're very different tools.
Bulgarian Bushcraft & Survival I have a suspicion that the edge would chip/break under heavy metal on metal prying, something like a Becker bk-3 is a bit more in line with that use though
dutch bushcraft survival did a video on their mora robust (same knife and metal but different design) and he literally put it in a long and stood on the handle, it didn't break. They batoned very hard into knots of wood and that didn't break the handle either. Sweden has a lot of safety rules for knives, so even though it isn't full tang, it's strong as shit.
The beauty of Mora knives is that they are very inexpensive, so beating them up is less bothersome. Kind of like having a beater set of bench chisels. Plus, Mora's manufacturing is in Sweden, so you are supporting Western manufacturing.

I wish they would have been made it full tang, to be more reliable as a crowbar.
