well you better get ready.

ready for what might be the most memable piece of /out/ gear of 2016.

ready for thread after thread musing the amazing increase in utility delivered by the full tang.

ready for photos of full tang moras in pristine, showroom new condition, alongside assertions that they could be batoned through a granite boulder, serve as a springboard for felling, replce the entire grandsfors catalog, slice bologna, and the like.

get ready.

this! it's not gonna outperform a heavy-duty companion but it will cost 4 times as much or more. i imagine there final form will include a firesteel, a tactical sheath with a rail, a led lamp, a compass, a whistle, and a diamond sharpening stone. for a mere $100

try fuck up a glock feldmesser (not full tang)
or put the same abuse to a ka-bar (ful tang)
see which one breaks first!

some full tang knives are stronger than some non-full tang that much is true but it's true the other way around too.

full tang == improvised handles
full tang == replaceable scales
full tang == more customization
full tang <> stronger

If I'd ever need something to batton with, it likely be a cheap Hultafors GK and not stainless steel worth a Benjamin.

The blade length is also 4.3 inches. Most of the more serious "bushcraft" knives tend to be on the shorter side, closer to 3 inches.

I'm certain they are aware of this but decided to make it longer anyways because most people who will buy this fancy bigger knives and wont be doing a lot of woodworking anyhow.

This knife is the same specs as the bushcraft black except different tang, handle, sheath, and stainless instead of high carbon. Considering the the bushcraft black is $60 this one is going to be more expensive but $100 is pretty steep coming from a company who mostly markets value cutlery. Can't say I blame them though, can only watch companies like spyderco and crk rake in all that cash and not want a piece of the pie.

Pretty much this, kinda. Old guy terminology alert: any knife with a tang that extends the complete usable length of the handle is a full tang knife, even one with a skinny stick tang. Ka-Bar and three of the knives in this pic come to mind. All 4 are full tang, only the second one (the Old Timer with the trailing point blade) has slab handles. I think the other three are what you're referring to as a peened tang. Stick tang (if they are roughly the same tang size through most of the handle) or rat-tail tang (if the tang becomes notably smaller as it goes toward the pommel) are the terms I'd use. Correct me if I've misunderstood you, it's good to know what our words mean when we're talking to each other.

I guess "full" means full lenght and therefore you're right. Too bad nowadays full tang refers to a knife in which the blade steel is exposed so that the blade steel has the same shape as the handle. If the blade steel can be seen in the end of the handle, that also counts as a full tang.

I don't like this terminology. I have an SRK that has no properties of a full tang knife (has a weak point), tang goes all the way through the handle, but the steel is not exposed in the back of the handle for practical reasons. I believe an SRK will outperform that full tang Schrade (2nd knife in the pic) any time in any stress test, ok I'm not absolutely sure it will, but you get my point. Full tang != strong knife. Cool knives btw, especially no. 1 & 4.

That Schrade is stainless new production, it's probably fairly brittle. I wouldn't push it hard enough to find out. The SRK is quite likely tougher. The blade being a trailing point makes that knife really good for processing game, which is why I like it. If I'm going to be mean to a knife, it'll be the Camillus. It's a brute. The knife on bottom is actually my wife's innawoods knife and she had it before I met her.

Most knife failures happen just about there. That's how you know the "gotta have muh slab handles on muh full tang knoff" people don't get it. The blade is harder than the tang and the point that's weakest is the quench line. It doesn't matter how wide your tang is if the weak point is at or just behind the ricasso. It's also why the following is correct:

MORA SOLD OUT

let's have a look at this, for what it is.It's a easy to mass produce knife that needs very little tooling to manufacture.

for years all the bushcraft retards have been howling 'but you need a full tang knife to baton!'

Mora have finally had their marketing guys take a look at the comparative models and their respective pricing, slightly undercutting the market with a relatively easy to use/maintain steel

this knife is overpriced by about 3x it's actual 'worth' but it will sell because it has Dave Canterbury circle jerkin endorsement. the 'full tang gang bang crowd have been able to smell this coming and are popping boners like a 15 year old in a strip club

Why wouldn't the whole thing be quenched?
Sorry if this is a pants on head retarded question but I'm trying to learn.

i believe quenching makes the steel harder yet more brittle so sometimes knife makers leave the tang soft, yet stronger in flexibility because it doesn't need to be especially hard
also i think there's plenty of knives where they do just quench the whole thing

This guy >>672804 has it pretty much right. You don't want the whole knife as hard as the cutting edge. Hardness and brittleness have a symmetrical relationship. As one goes, so goes the other. Toughness is asymmetrical to those: as hardness and brittleness increase, toughness decreases. There has to be a balance. Files are hard as hell, hold an edge very well, and can break if you drop them on concrete. Grind an edge on one and baton? Not likely. Springs are the opposite: you can smack them with a hammer and drive them through concrete, but they don't hold an edge well. Working with any material includes learning the best compromises between its properties. The best compromise for steel is often considered to be differentially hardened blades. Cutting edge at RC 54 and up, back of blade and handle at 54 and down. The only weakness is the place where the grain pattern in the iron changes, the quench line. That's where most failures from lack of toughness occur.

This, I stay with the 711 model, seems to be more value for much less money.

>>Morakniv Garberg is the strongest and most robust knife we have ever made, dressed in a genuine Morakniv costume with our brand new signature high profile design. Of course, the blade is made from top quality Swedish Stainless steel, processed according to our own secret recipe. Morakniv Garberg is the ultimate knife for any Bushcrafter and we have made sure that it is ready to be challenged to the max.<<

People who know about knives will not buy it because they don't know the steel composition and HRC.

Also: Why shouldn't I just buy 10 mora 711 models instead? I think the bushcraft black is top notch already.

What the fuck is that?

What the fuck is the incentive to buy this full tang Mora when other very good scandi knives with full tang exist already?

Helle, Martinni, TRC, Enzo, EKA.....

Mora is quite late to the party, and with a weird steel.

they could have a full tang in the budget market, all the ones you listed too expensive for what they are.

Looks sexy but if it's not $16 US like my SS companion I'll pass. The price point has been moras real appeal and anything they sell over $20 is just moronic. They'd be wise to remember that. They're the KIA of the knife world.

It was made for the American market like the bushcraft black and the other expensive models, its going to sell well I suspect, even if it won't provide any performance improvement from the basic models

The optima is a good car. So is the companion. Both are fairly priced but if they were hiked through the ceiling they lose their appeal. More to my point.

Not true, hardness increases toughness. Toughness is basically the ability to resist fracturing, and is a combination of hardness and ductility. Although hardness and ductility usually come together, it's not always the case.
