"As a backcountry guide in Alaska I rely heavily on my equipment. A well designed rugged knife is one of my most important tools. After hearing a lot of positive comments about the Mora 2000 knife I decided to put one through some tests to see how it held up.

Upon receiving the knife [from Safe Zone LLC] and examining it the first thing you notice is its light weight and unique blade geometry. Then the comfortable rubber type handle. Doing some reading I found that the blade is composed of Scandinavian Sandvik stainless steel. This steel holds an edge well and is fairly easy to re-sharpen in the field.

I used the knife for the following tasks:

• Whittling fire tender
• Making sparks with a ferro-rod
• Skinning game to include splitting the brisket of a deer
• Slicing vegetables and meat for meals
• Chipping ice for water
• Whittling triggers for traps
• Cutting fabric and leather
• Cutting cardboard
• Cutting rope, twine, string etc,
• Stripping electrical wiring
• Cleaning my fingernails
• A multitude of other tasks suitable to a light utility knife

The Mora 2000 preformed on the level of much pricier knives. The Mora 2000 is a reliable knife and is now part of my guiding gear. I recommend it as a good light to medium duty utility knife."
