This Mora Knife Needed Serious TLC. Here's How I Fixed It

[@kentgreenough75]

I have several old classics I have restored. Great fun on a long Finnish winter evening. Currently working on a walnut handle for a laminated Mora #2 blade. The laminated carbon blades are the best in my experience.

[@Maryland_Kulak]

Did you have Sibelius’ Finlandia playing while you worked?

[@Oldmora]

The laminated ones, specially the old ones where you can see the wavy line when they did the lamination by hammer, are also my favorite

[@GONEOUTSIDE]

Looks awesome! Cpl of weeks ago I found a old "Frosts" and restored it, too. Awesome knives!

[@Oldmora]

The handle removing technique is nice.
I feel like I can replicate it without much effort.

[@Oldmora]

I seen the first time in a Korean(i think) knife sharpening/restore. This is how the guy remove the handles of the japanese style knives

Not a fancy one but a “honest” working knife ready for many decades of usage

Not fancy, but still a good one for sure.

Imagine getting all that traditional making skill and then just boshing all together with epoxy.

[@Oldmora]

Epoxy/glue has been used by the Mora companies for decades. For example, all the KJE classic lines from 1970s up to the early 2005 were glued. In another videos i showed how to pin down the tang; in this one, i chose the glue method, hoping that people get motivated to do their own restores and not get block by more difficult techniques like pinning
