[QUOTE="M77Fan, post: 2942634, member: 115996"] That is impressive work history. 🤙Having several good reliable knives scattered around is a great strategy. The Swedes do know something about cutting tools. They also make my favorite Sven folding camp bow saw that I have had for nearly 50 years. Used it within the last month at elk camp and cutting fence rails. Yours looks like it is the Mora Basic 546 with a 3.5 inch stainless blade (they may have changed the handle size). The handle is described as "barrel-like", which makes me wonder if it would be too round to accurately tell you the unseen edge alignment. The Companion, at 4 inches looks interesting. Their literature says it has a 3/4 tang, so you can apply working pressure to it, and it has carbon steel, making it easier to sharpen, but more rust prone. Not for bushcrafting, but a good utility knife. BTW, my comment on the paracord handle was more generic, rather than aimed at your personal MKC choice. Your use sounds entirely appropriate. Nice they will re-do it on request.:) I had not stated in my earlier comment that I am personally just not wild about the cord-handle trend. Don't like the feel with or without cord, and eventual accumulation of gick is not a plus on my balance sheet. [/QUOTE]
