Re knife source:
I see there is now a Peavey Mart (a Western Canadian country hardware store chain) in Saskatoon, close to the airport.
They usually carry the basic carbon-steel Mora for $9.99 + tax. Best deal around. You could even call ahead to check stock.
You've just made me such a happy woman, Doug! Thank you so much! Moras are hard to come by around here, and I'd love another one! I sense a little shopping spree coming on when my flights lands. In fact, I think I'll call them tonight!
