mora clipper, i have the orange fluresant one , its stainless so you have to keep on top of the edge, but a great nife for a tenner. like the other guys i have had other expensive stuff and lost it, but with this orange thing its hard to do.

 

i have skinned all sorts with it,,, and even use it preparing food in the kitchen

heres a linc

Not bad knives mate. My mate just got a "Ray mears" jobby from his bushcraft site,they reckon they got the last batch of blades and once they are gone,they`re gone. This could be just the Ray mears edition tho. I think they are the same knife,but the Mears one has a green handle and maybe a motif of some sort. Still prefare my No.7 tho.

Treated myself a few years ago to a knife called OLD TIMER it as a gut hook on the end and holds its edge well the sheeth is good quality leather, and is easy to sharpen verdict if looked after it will last a life time

The most expensive knife Ive owned was a Buck knife with a gut hook,around the £ mark,let my cousin whittle a stick with it when we were fishing once and he gave it back with a 10p sized hole in the cutting edge-wasnt happy.

if your geting a mora just for guting rabbits go for the Viking razer sharp and only costs £6 so it f**k all if you lose it

and like tommo said moras can be used for bigger stuff aswell http://www.greenmanbushcraft.co.uk/cutting-tools/knives/mora-viking-640-bushcraft-knife.htm

for gutting rabbits the only contenders as far I am concerned is a lambs foot...this is because I gut from the sternum down to the belly because its one of the fastest ways to gut imo. And the lambs foot has a blunt back edge so it doesn’t puncture the stomach :sick:

 

For deer I use either Buck knife 110 folding hunter or my opinel depending or which one I have forgotten! haha but I am upgrading to the EKA swing blade asap....fecking amazing!

 

I don’t touch anything with gut hook personally as the hook gets in the way when bleeding deer etc.....not that I shoot enough to worry about it to be honest! haha

 

i also have the carbon steel Mora as well....i took it to south africa with me and all the PH's loved it!

The Frost Mora knives are great for the money. Opinel Knives are also really,really good. I use a Helle Fjellkniven myself. Around the £70 mark though. I use it for everything. Gutting and preparing of fish and game in the field and kitchen and also all my bushcrafting. Try and get into a shop and get a feel for a few. It needs to feel right in your hand! Tim.

old timer do a handy little sheath with a gut hook. good quality.

ive never liked the opinals. they do take a good edge but lose it just as quick. the steel is to brittle. buck knifes are a good knife and ideal for what you want it for. if your budget is 50. use it and get the best you can.
