"Just a quick look at all of my Scandinavian knives.." 😀 I loved it actually and did not get bored. I have a couple of the Scandi knives still around. There is one in the spare tire compartment of the SUV just in case.
Sure, there are other knife channels, but only Greg can find a way to talk about working on RTTY equipment in a retrospective of Swedish field knives :D
You can never have too may knifes, can you? I see you keep some collectibles and unused spare ones around as emediate replacement. My story is I bought one Mora companion style knife then missplaced it, thougt I've lost it. Next I bought a second one. Then I found the first again in my garage. So its not a bad idea to have at least two. Doubles the chance you can find at least one if you need it.😉 Something I've noticed with both of mine is that the spine is hollowed out roughth and unfinished black inside. First what I thought is a production flaw now makes me wonder if its meant to be this way since I see it's the same Hollow spine with your "robust" knife at minute 23:27. But anyway my theory is that it's a production flaw and the spine is unfortunately always the outside of a biger rolled flat metal sheet where the knifes are sawen out to save cost and material. Cant complayn too much they are cheap and handy. I alread thougt of grinding the spine down to a flat nineteen degrees but then I possible could scratch the handle and then I may also replace the handle with something more durable like wood or staked leather. But we will see I haven't tried to spark a rod with the hollow spine. Im also not a big fan of the rubber overmold handle. Typicaly in a few jears this rubber disintegrates gets stiky and falls appart. But maybe it's the type of rubber that just gets hard and brittle over time, not shure but time will tell. Any long time experience with the durability of the rubber handle?
@@maxpayne3779 all of the spines on the lower priced Moras have that rough, stamped-out finish. I have made a ninety degree spine on a couple of them with a file. I just received a Companion Heavy-Duty today and it has a finished spine. The other, more expensive, models I've seen have finished spines. But, so far, the Companion Heavy Duty is the least expensive I've seen. I don't really care for the rubber overmold on the older Companions. It is thin and I thought it would disintegrate quickly, but it hasn't. The green Companion I talked about carrying in the Army is 20+ years old and still holding up fine. The rubber looks cheesy but seems to be of high quality.
Thank You for sharing!
