Just got the new Traditional Woodworker catalogue and noticed some Mora knives I hadn't seen before (or don't recall seeing).

http://www.traditionalwoodworker.com/default.php/cPath/525_731

Traditional Woodworker has a nice website and great pics of the knives. I've ordered from them before and experienced good service.

Have also been very pleased with Ragweed Forge. Per recommendations on ETS.

Am now going to compare prices.

Very pretty, but at $150 there are quite a few I'd pick before it.

Here is what the tang of a conventional Mora looks like. They have a 'rat tail' tang. I can see the reason to buy the $150 Mora, although it has nothing to do with need. It is easy to get addicted to Moras. I have some old wood handled ones, and also a couple of Clippers. With the excellent blades, the value vs price ratio is very favorable for a Mora knife. The sheaths and over-molded handle materials while fully functional, are quite inexpensive. I can understand the urge for a Mora addict to buy a real nice Mora knife just to have it. If you look at the other brands of premium Scandinavian knives, they tend to be very expensive too.
