I have a few plastic handled Moras, but like the wooden handles better. But I must say he cheap Moras are about the best cheep fixed blade on the market AND they are not made in China!!

I will see if I can find a couple pics.

In our backpacks, both vehicles, my workshop and several in the kitchen. Probably use them more than any other knife I own. Great knives that I'm not worried about messing up. Sorry no photos.

Almost certainly from the Toten area of Norway, of uncertain age. 7 3/4 inches overall, with blade about 3 7/16 inches. Blade is of non-stainless steel, rhomboid cross-section, slender, very very slightly dipped toward edge or clipped in a gradual manner. No markings. Slight micro-pitting and grey patina, with some scratching. No blade loss of consequence. Nickel silver ferrule-type bolster is tapered into the handle section and does not have a ‘guard’ configuration. Barrel type handle is curly birch, and is surmounted with a reverse tapered pommel in nickel silver which matches the ferrule bolster. It has some simple stippled decorations. A knob of (probably) nickel silver protrudes from this pommel, and probably secures the hidden tang of the knife in some manner, and may have participated in some way to secure the knife handle to the sheath dangler although this is unclear at this point. The sheath is complex, with nickel silver furniture formed, hammered, stippled and soldered at various points. All this metal encases more curly birch which matches the knife handle. All of the wood in the handle and sheath appears to have a glossy varnish finish. There is a leather dangler affixed to the sheath by a soldered ring system. The general condition of the knife is very high excellent, with very little use evident. There is one dent in part of the nickel silver on the sheath.
