  1. I'm not her, but Mora Laminated Knives are great. You won't find a better knife for the price. I buy blades and do my own handle of wrapped hemp and epoxy. I wish I knew what her big knife for batoning is. I use a big tough but not hard blade for such stuff. Carbon steel tends to not like pounding, but Laminated is very tough. I've never seen a very large one of those. I don't baton much, I use a wetterlings game Axe, pre Grandford Bruks buy out. Swedish also, they make great steel, or did. I hope they keep their culture. I'm part Swede and thought to visit relatives, but they have a mess right now.
