This is for Assa who asked about the thickness of of the Mora Companion blade when compared to a kitchen steak knife.
Assa, I compared it to two steak knives. A super cheap one and a mid grade one.

Thanks Olly! That thing's not a pansy ass little knife at all. How can they be so cheap? And carbon steel, no less. My meter is going off.

Yeah I am interested in that, too.
Does it say China on it anywhere?

Holy crap!
OKAY where can I get one?
If you think its a good knife, and its really only $12, I am willing to take a gamble. I have paid more for less.
Or as GKR told his wife on their first date, "I have gotten more and paid less".

That's pretty damn impressive. Still can't believe they're so cheap. GK x2.

Yeah I am going to get one for me, and one for my cousin's upcoming birthday as a gift. He butchers a lot of animals every year, will be interested to know his take on it, too.
Lots of mods available for these knifes. I may go balls out and get the carbon steel version in desert camo.

Olly, I just bought the slightly larger version of this knife in Carbon. $19 bucks. In fact, I bought two of them.
Thanks for the referal.

I love these knives. I've bought a few in SS and have nothing but good things to say about them.

At least you got a nice set. 13 years of EDC says a lot for that brand!

I can't say it enough- it's a very well-made knife, and sharp as a motherfucker right out of the sheath. I got the 840, with carbon steel blade. Not much on stainless steel knife blades. My brain is still having trouble with it only being $14.
