The new Mörkret survival knife from Mora of Sweden🇸🇪. A Garberg on steroids.

They knocked it out of the park with this one for sure. I got the Stainless one but it also comes in carbon steel and Elmax. Thick full-tang blade, perfect 90° spine for ferro rod usage.

Recently decided to pick up a big brother for my OG Belair (after well over a year of it being in my rotation). Really, really liking it after break it in yesterday.

Pictured with some of my USA made rotation. Hopefully it serves as a useful side comparison if anyone else decides to pick one up (it's effectively the same footprint as the iridium, but with a thicker blade).

Recently picked up this vintage Schrade-Walden paratrooper knife, circa 1960s. It’s in remarkably good condition for its age, with strong action (it’s an automatic )only slight blade play, and a nice clear tang stamp. I bought it mainly as a historical piece for my collection.
