I wear it around my neck (paracord line), with a whistle on the cord, a compass (usually) and I duct tape a keychain light, one of those squeeze ones, to the bottom of the plastic sheath. Very handy. Super strong, cheap knife and so light that it's no bother to carry. Not full tang but I've whacked it pretty good and had no issues. There is a stainless steel version as well with a blue handle, the mora 546, a good option for boating.<br /><br />Besides amazon and ebay, also check:<br /><br />http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html<br /><br />or<br /><br />http://www.safezonellc.com/mora.html<br /><br />I personally haven't ordered from either (Canada shipping can be such a pain) but I've heard they are OK. Especially the first one.<br /><br />I usually EDC three knives these days: A Fallkniven F1 in an IWB kydex sheath, a folder (Blackhawk hornet 2 at the moment) and a super cheap crappy tiny folder with a key chain light. Use that for cutting tape and things that can gum up the blade.<br /><br />The F1 is an awesome knife but a little expensive.Jon Lorisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467753625608301539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33811203782906418.post-15188884816489807882011-04-15T08:09:56.154-07:002011-04-15T08:09:56.154-07:00Just what I needed!
