getting lost quickly vanishes under a layer of dirt. But the orange rubber has not got any smudges, even from the wet soil and ash. After constructing a base for the future shed, it has been turn for a deserved feast, varied by the hailstones falling on my head. The Mora Bushcraft Survival knives haven't lost their sharpness so that they couldn't be able to cut buns or meat (in the food processing they are one of the most helpful knives, which I have used so far), however I have decided to sharpen one of them. A small sharpener in the plastic scabbard has allowed me to restore the sharpness of a slightly blunted edge, but it is not a too much convenient solution. A surface of the plate is so small that I would not decide to sharpen the knives at the height of its grind, so I have chosen an option with a subtle micro bevel. The sharpener itself can be treated rather as a gadget, which could be useful from time to time, but it cannot replace a real sharpener. With regard to sharpness it should be also added that a difference between carbon steel and the Sandvik has been smaller than I had expected. The stainless has got blunt a little quicker, but both knives have remained after work their cutting edges at a decent level. ELDRIS NECK KNIFE The third hero of this article is the Eldris Neck Knife. It is a small knife (143 mm long) designed to be worn around the neck and intended for the everyday use. The Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade is 58 mm long and has uncommon grind. It stars with a classic scandi, to which at the height of a belly joins another grind, led in such a way that it separates a rather high cutting edge. The purpose of this is to extend a cut done with such a short blade. In contrast to the most of the neck knives, with flat and short handles, the Eldris has a full-sized stubby grip. That increases a volume of the entire knife, what clashes with an idea of the neck knife but makes it way comfortable to work with. IMHO wearing such a tiny barrel around your neck is not the best idea. The www.fragoutmag.com
