These are a good knife. You can get a leather sheath on ebay.

Several times a year several types of Moras come up for sale on Massdrop and Woot. With Massdrop, search for what you want and click the "request" button. They will email you when it comes on sale and you are under no obligations.

Picked up a MoraKniv Companion MG (C) for $11.40 shipped on Massdrop midsummer and can't put it down. Takes a razor edge, easy to clean, easy to maintain.

If you don't like the plastic sheath Moras come with, can get a heavy duty leather sheath for $5 here.

That's a benchmade torrent, a kabar deskabar, blackhawk paddle with light holder and double stack mag pouch holding a streamlight strion led and gerber mp600 and a bark river golok.

And that's just the cutlery. Can you imagine what David must look like when he's carrying?

^^Got the feeling the answer to that is an artilleryman's wet dream...I thought I carry a lot of hardware!
..speaking of which, I just got a nifty little neck knife. Anybody here use a neck knife?

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what the heck is a neck knife? And can I get away with getting my wife one for Christmas instead of diamonds?

Let's just put it this way. When you absolutely have to put a hole in something make it one they will notice.

Wink:
Answer to question 1: It's a sheath knife that hangs vertically from one's neck, like a pendant. Usually has some sort of catch so's it don't fall out of the sheath.
2. Could be. But diamonds are always a safe bet.

Yeah Dave, I think you're right about the diamonds. I'm afraid that neck knife could turn into a butt knife real quick.

I carry an ESEE 5, at a 1/4in thick itll do any "odd prying" that comes up. it runs for about $150 new but its well worth it, comes with a kydex sheath and a lifetime no questions asked warranty.
The little divit in the handles for bowdrill (hopefully you never have to use it for that)

And the coating holds up indefinitely, i abused the heck out of my Junglas (the big chopper ESEE sells) and its held up perfectly.

I'd love to do a side by side comparison of my golok and the junglas.

IIRC, the junglas is a flat grind. The golok is a convex grind. In use it's more like a hatchet than a knife but unlike a hatchet it has a wicked draw cut if you can get the wrist snap down. I regularly pop 2 inch bamboo with one swing and it will throw chunks, like a hatchet, on cutting hardwoods.
It has basically replaced a hatchet for beaver work.

You guys got me going with this knife thing. The only problem is, I have a propensity for losing anything of any value. So, today I

solved my knife problem. Menards had a deal on a Guidesman stainless steel, black oxide coated, liner locking, anodized aluminum

handled, Star Fire knife. Now this knife is pretty pricey at $6.99, but this week only you get a $5 rebate, so the final cost is a

buck ninety nine. I got two, just to be on the safe side.

I bought a Mora Companion HD. It was under $20 at Amazon. It's been great! The carbon steel blade sharpens easily and takes a great edge. The jury is still out on the sheath though. It functions fine and I like that it doesn't look like a knife sheath, but I've already put the white plastic bend in it where the belt loop connects to the sheath. I guess it wasn't made for crawl space tear outs. I may have to drill a hole in the bottom of the sheath as it appeared to collect water while in a rain storm last week. I had to remove a bit of surface rust from the blade. The 1/8" thick blade has so far pried without complaint. The handle has been comfortable and I've been able to remove the silicone from it with ease.
