The handle is worth it

The handle on these new Amberg knives is perhaps the best knife handle I've ever held. No hotspots, full comfortable four finger grip with room to spare. I can literally use this thing all day long comfortably. No hand soreness, no pain. Great steel, really sharp, all the normal Mora goodness. A bit expensive for Mora, but the handle alone is worth the price IMO. If you use a knife a lot outdoors, you have to try this knife.

Pros: Overall Quality
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard

Odd sheath choice

The Handle is exactly the same as the normal size Amberg. The Sheath is Exactly the same as the normal size Amberg. The Blade is about an inch shorter than the full size version. Unless you have a 3" blade length limit for fixed blades, I'm not sure what niche this is meant to fill. This is a good knife, don't get me wrong - the handle shape and size are quite comfortable and I like the ambidextrous sheath. I do think they should have provided a compact sheath instead of the full size one. The texture on the handle is very grippy, which is both good and bad. Unlikely to lose your grip on it, but it could cause blisters during extended use - probably best to wear gloves. I think the Eldris is still a better compact Mora.
