Pros: Sheath/Scabbard

Cons: None

Sheath works well

I am guilty of unfairly giving this knife a low rating previously. I said the knife fell out of the sheath. I found the blade on the floor of my truck along side the driver seat. Actually it does snap into the sheath and won't fall out. I didn't have it snapped in when I claimed I lost it.Moraknives are well built, but are not heavy duty monster knives for batoning. I have more expensive knives that I take excellent care of, but I reach for this one for every day woods chores. The sheath looks flimsy, but it hasn't worn out with over 100 outings. I like the flexible hanging sheath that doesn't pinch when I sit in the Gator or in the truck. (I have worn out other knife sheaths and had to repair/replace them.) I have several convex blades (Bark River, Fallkniven) but the scandi edge of Moraknives is quicker to sharpen.

The pinnacle of the Mora line

I've had the Mora 2000 for roughly six years. I've bought other brands of knife (and other Moras) since then, but when I pack to go in the woods I always seem to go back to the 2000. The rubber grip is excellent, especially when its wet or your hands are cold. The stainless steel hasn't really been an issue for me, since the knife retains its edge throughout my trips. I initially kept the sheathed knife in a pocket on my ruck, since the sheath isn't conducive for heavy woods use; though in time I ended up purchasing a kydex sheath from one of the many available kydex artisans.About the 'weird' Mora sheath: I spoke with a Swedish student in one of my grad school classes who was an outdoor enthusiast. He mentioned that in Sweden, work trousers traditionally had a pocket on the side for holding the knife sheath (like the tool pocket on carpenters jeans). The leather tab attaches to a button sewn above the pocket, so that the knife can be drawn / replaced while the sheath stays put.

Fell out

I live on 120 acres and do lots of woods work, field work, etc. I've used this as one of the EDCs for outdoor farm chores and it works very well. Thin blade that sharpens easily, but not heavy and expensive, so I actually use it. The belt loop is floppy so the sheath doesn't push into the seat of the gator or the seat of my truck. Yesterday was a 20K+ day. We did driveway cracks, chicken chores... At the end of the day the knife was missing. I assume it fell out. If I don't find it within a week I will get another.
