handle was coated with rubber only at the edges and sides there are textured plastic inserts. The grip still sticks to the palm. The Mora Eldirs comes with a loop hole for 550 cord although I think that I in this case of this knife, it's useless. To the plastic scabbard, a clamp with press-stud is attached – there is another loop hole in this part. The kit includes also a flint, but without a holder and smaller than the one which comes with Mora Bushcraft Survival. The Eldris knife is useful as "an outdoor assistant" in light works. It has been used for cutting sausages, sharpening sticks or debarking a birch wood. None of the above tasks would require a longer blade and it has enabled me to work efficiently and with pleasure. A functionality of this model comes foremost from the full-size handle, which ensures a secure grip and helps to managing the knife. I have been positively surprised by its quite bizarre grind. As it has turned out, unmatched in chipping. The upper part of the blade can be applied for a very precise work in the wood, cutting long, even very thin chips. As a matter of fact, this inconspicuously looking knife is a sufficient tool for making an ordinary, recreational bonfire. It is suitable to obtain kindling, striking sparks, preparing food or planning a small fork for the sausages. It is also very enjoyable to whittle whistles with it and recognizing my own lack of talent when it comes to sculpting. KNIVES
