What is this this knife used for?

I use mine for damn near everything from the camp to the kitchen. This little sucker comes razor sharp from the factory.

I use my Mora Classic for EVERYTHING! I purchased the Mora Classic for carving, which it works well for carving, but I use it for everyday use as well.

The reason I got this knife was because Cody Lundin used it on dual survival. He put it through a beating am it never broke. So I bought it and well, I have never broken it. It's a good sturdy knife. I use it for just about everything. It's a smaller fixed blade to obviously you won't be cutting down a tree with it, but for the size it is very practical and useful. If you keep a good edge on it, it will go far.

Mora makes some of the finest woodworking tools. Their knives are designed specifically for use in wood carving and is therefore especially well suited for outdoor use - trimming branches for shelters, making primitive fire making tools, etc

I use it in the kitchen as a paring knife. Probably requires more care than most folks want to bother with but I like a sharp carbon steel blade so I do not mind washing, drying, & putting on a dab of vegetable oil after each use. But hide it because others will put it away wet or in the dishwasher(Yikes)! It will rust.

Skinning caribou deer elk salmon and other creatures intended for the table. Also great for cutting line digging holes stripping wire cleaning hooves and tending small fires. Can be used to help prepare and eat meals (not recommended following a hoof cleaning). It's a basic utility knife you won't be afraid to use and use hard. Carbon steel blade hold an edge well. It's ugly enough not to get left on a shelf and perfect enough at most tasks to keep getting used. The plastic scabbard does the job of protecting the blade until you can make or buy a better one. Hope that helps

Anything you can use a small knife for fishing camping since it is carbon steel you can use it to start a fire with flint or fire steel I wanted it to butcher chickens and rabbits with but was sent the wrong one and never reordered

I collect a lot of knives. Currently, this knife is stored away. I believe it is a liner lock. If you look into the blade compartment you should see a flat piece of metal, along the blade "liner" that locks the blade in place. You should be able to push this liner away from the blade to release the blade allowing it to close. Try that and let me know if it works.

it's a modified ulu with a gut hook. not a bad design, minus the hook, pommel spike and spine claws. if it was reproduced in a high carbon steel and given a respectable temper and handle scales, it would be a very effective knife.

I have not used it much for that but it feels great in the hand and is very sharp. A few slides down a sharpening stone and its perfect. Don't know if that helps.

It work as well as any knife for those tasks. It's design however, makes it super for slicing foods like cheese which tend to stick to the blade while cutting. So for me, that is what I use mine for. Great on fresh mozzarella.

We use it as a dough knife most of the time. It will work for chopping, but we prefer a knife for that. It's great for gathering up chopped veggies or meat to transfer them to a pot or bowl.

Hi. I'd probably use the French Chefs knife for those kinds of things. It has a thicker spine than most of the other knives and it's long enough to deal with the bigger veges like the butternut squash.

No! This is a very jagged toothed knife. Originally for dry wall cutting I believe and I use for garden roots when digging for planting.

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer. All I know is that it is the first knife my wife grabs to see if it works for her task, and it usually does. We don't have problems at this time, as I know.

You are right, this isn't a knife you want to be cutting with for hours. It's a knife you want to carry in your pocket to always have handy to open boxes from Amazon.com, cut string or tape, nick off an errant twig on a tree, etc. Very handy, but not an "extended use" knife.

Sorry. I have no idea. All I can tell you is it is the nicest knife I've ever seen or owned. Love it.

It is an attachment point for a second "knife" which is in quotes because Mora makes a lot of knives for use in the building trades, including one that has a square, sharpened end that is a chisel/knife combo. These knives are used in Europe/Scandinavia the way Americans use a retractable utility knife. They also make loooong ones for cutting insulation. Check out their home page.

Never have used it for that purpose but it does keep a sharp edge. It is a thinner knife which I would imagine could be of use for that. It is considerably smaller in the handle than other knives making it a good knife when reaching inside a deer so probably better for some finer work on wood

I use it to slice normal kitchen fare like vegetables & trim meat. It is not a hunting or survival knife

Something to fiddle with when playing with the knife in your pocket. Have not a clue. Asked several salesmen and no one knows.

I have used it to sharpen pocket knives, kitchen knives, and knives I take out in the back country. All of various metals. It is more to help refine an already sharpened blade.

That's what I use it for. Sharp side for young Thai tops, dull side for cracking them, or brown coconuts. I bought a cleaver at BB&B;, and 2 coconuts in the blade cracked - this one seems MUCH more reliable.
