>>570025>I. you bought a cheapass blade - why did you expect a super highend performance?Moras, both carbon and stainless, are made of high quality Swedish steel. In terms of cutting performance, Mora is as good as most hi-end "bushcraft" knives, at least for any nonenthusiast.
>II. buy a stainless steelOP said he's 'poor as fuck'. Besides, what kind of idiot buys a stainless steel Mora for /out/?
Sandvik 12C27 is 56-58 HRC and that's pretty soft for a scandi grinded knife used for cutting wood.
