The latter is a rather minimal issue, though - it can be compensated for with a bit swearing.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-32290126228474759922011-03-03T23:33:07.001+01:002011-03-03T23:33:07.001+01:00@ serrated - gibts!

This is essential for a fine control of the tip, which is an important part of the overall tool.<br /><br />The RD4 is nowhere serrated and thus less suitable for cutting things like wood.<br /><br />I like the concept of the SOG Seal Pub, just not its dimensions. Add a butt spike for smashing glass, adjust the dimensions and the knife is near-perfect.<br /><br /><br />The more simple knives (grip + blade + some tradition) are wasting too many opportunities (possible functionalities) in my opinion.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-59593895462246570282011-03-03T18:08:15.436+01:002011-03-03T18:08:15.436+01:00What about the OKC RD4?

All are made from laminated VG10.<br /><br />The only good thing I can say about the Mora is that is has a scandinavian grind (no secondary bevel). This makes it easy for someone even out in the woods to make it razor sharp. Other than that it's a stamped half-tang POS that'll break on you the moment you need it most. A good beater but if you bring a standard mora you'd better bring something else as well (say, an F1).<br /><br />Great blog BTW!Dave from Stockholmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-67249595215295262632011-03-03T09:00:54.149+01:002011-03-03T09:00:54.149+01:00A lot of outdoor people recommend the swedish Mora...A lot of outdoor people recommend the swedish Mora knife.<br /><br />http://www.raeer.com/shopexd.asp?page=&id=31820?var=00000<br /><br />It is primarily a tool. That's the kind of knife you'll find in Scandinavia in the hands of people who spend time outdoor.<br /><br />There are also Puukko knives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko<br /><br />BTW, check out the finnish army's Sissipuukko , it might be what you had in mind for combat (although it wouldn't be a "perfect" oudoor tool... if only for the price).Solsysnoreply@blogger.com
