New Eldris
When I saw the photos of the Eldris from Morakniv it immediately got my attention as a possible EDC fixed blade for my pocket and as a woodcraft carver. I also liked the versatility of neck knife carry, and the fire steel . I have been disappointed in some knives in the past when I actually got them in my hand, but I am happy with my new "Little Buddy Eldris" . The blade edge needed no attention out of the box. It is very keen and well ground. The handle with its hard center and softer grippy outside is a great size for my average hands. I have found notching, feather sticking and just whittlin' to be fun with this little guy. I have also used the 90 degree spine to scrape fine shaving "dust" from wood and to throw lotsa' sparks from the accompanying fire steel. It performs well. I will say that my "Little Buddy" fought back a little when I tried to push the blade spine with a thumb assist for notching. I may round the distal spine edge a little to ease the conflict with my thumb. I recommend the Morakniv Eldris highly. Thanks KnifeCenter for your exceptional service. Yours in Prayer, Rick Trumbo
