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.
