I may be wrong but the Ray Mears's knife on his website just looks like a sturdier Mora knife. The Mora knife has been around and used for hundreds of years by the scandinavians and it's design have remained unchanged for quite a long time, yet the price is still only 10 bucks.

I have the feeling that pragmatic Mors Kochanski is the father of them all, just like J.S. Bach is the father of Mozart, Beethoven and so on.


Very likely, also consider any other flat ground north european knife.
Don't forget that a Mora Clipper is not a "strong" knife. Wunderbar sharp - yes. Tough -no.
