Sporting Knife Made By Mora of Sweden

I came across this pretty knife last Saturday:


Vintage Mora Sporting Knife with Leather Sheath

It was made by Mora in Sweden.

By USA standards one might that this knife is too small to be useful — but I am told by knife manufacturers that knives about this size are the most popular worldwide, except in the USA. We apparently prefer larger knives.

Here is a view of the other side of the Mora knife and the back side view of the sheath. This knife was in pretty good condition, a lot of rust on the knife blade, and the leather handle strap has a torn off snap.

I didn't even need to sharpen it. I cleaned rust of of the blade, polished and honed the cutting edge, and washed the knife blade and the handle.
