Thanks Everyone for the imput!<br><br>As the price offered to me was _very_ good for a custom designed blade, I decided to put some of my preferences into the blade, such as a full tang and thicker blade. The Mora-knifes, although execellent for birch, reindeer and rouge saami (?) has plastic or wooden handles that I think, would not stand for survival abuse. A full tang is stronger and one would be able to use the knife even if the handle side-pieces are broken or lost. My design will probably be the size of a F1-survival knife or a good old Mora-knife.<br>Well, its probably the same problem with this blade as with all other gear; as one finds a good piece of kit, someone produces a better item. :o/<br><br>Stefan, Sweden
