  • The bobbed tail Mora Eldris is the perfect addition to an Altoids tin survival kit. The best small knife on the market needed a little trimming tin fit but it is a small price to pay for the ultimate tin survival knife.

    Part 1 of your Overnight came up in my feed and I just wanted to say I'm really impressed. I've been working my way back through your build videos now and I have to say, you really deliver a lot of great applicable knowledge. Love how you go and do the things with the kit you built. Actions speak so much louder than words. I'm going to start working on my can right away, and I'm going to def share your channel with my friends. Thanks so much. Please keep up the great work. Wish you well!!!

    Nice.
    A great idea for a small survival tin.
    I personally prefer a larger kit for survival, but this is a great blade for any small kit.
    The Pathfinder Shop has tins that are just a bit bigger than the Altoids tin. You could save a little more handle using one of them.

    I’m glad you are pleased with the results of your project. I hope the modified knife fits your needs. The standard Eldris handle is about the minimum length I feel is useful for any real cutting tasks. I’m not positive, but I believe the “slots” in the tang are there to give molded handle material and/or epoxy a better grip on the stick tang. In any event, thank you for the look into the handle of this Mora knife.

    I thought it was a good idea I'm not certain if i would it but i did enjoy the vid. However, i personally do not have a knife in my Altoids tin but i do have a razor as i carry a knife 99.9 % off the time. I'm working on my esee tin which is a bigger version. I have considered the classic Opinel #9 which is a great knife to keep in a kit sonething to consider. The #9 has a blade length thats as long as the cut down a Mora while closed so you will always have a handle. I own a few Moras also its a heck of an knife. Thx for sharing.

    I know I'm a bit late to the party, but did you consider adding a couple holes that were just a bit smaller than a nail that would fit in the tin to hold the handle more securely in place? I saw the overnighter first and I know you struggled with slippage

    This is a great idea. I probably would have taken it a step further, though. If you were willing to sacrifice the extra 1/8" of blade, you could fit a nice curve into that space that would prevent your hand from sliding forward, and would give better grip.
