I work on boats in salt water, I used to live on boats as well. I’ve had this knife for over 10 years, it’s on my belt whenever I set foot outside. It’s been with me on two oceans across North America for over a decade, I use it as my primary, mainly for scrapping and light prying. The tip isn’t bent, but has rounded off over the years, a far cry from the very sharp pointy tip it came with. I never bothered restoring the tip since it would be back to round within a few weeks given the use of the knife and I prefer it that way, less prone to unintentional poking and nice predictable scraping curve (paint, caulking, oxidation, etc). I do carry a very sharp folder as my secondary so that’s another reason why I dont bother with the dull tip on the Mora.
One of the best feature of this knife is the sturdiness of the tall blade, which I haven’t come across in other knifes. The combination of the height and heft, all the way to the tip, quality stainless steel, good handle with finger guard, proper sheath and balance between blade and handle dimensions make this knife unique.
The knife is easy to sharpen and will hold a great edge through most cutting tasks. I bought several more of this exact knife over the years as gifts for family members as well as work gear for my employee. I have lots of other knifes and I’m very hard to please when I comes to choosing a knife, regardless of price point. Among many factors, such as comfort, style, features, etc, a knife has to be practical. There’s a lot of knifes that I like but I don’t buy because I know I’m not gonna use them on the daily, regardless of price point. This knife is everything I need as an outdoor trades person needing a work knife and the price doesn’t do justice at how good it is in accomplishing the daily work. Truly an all around knife at a very affordable price point. Shame not many retailer carries it, because the taller blade really makes a difference compared to the other stainless mora knifes.
