    Morakniv? Mora Knives?

    If that's the one you're talking about, then yes, they're very light. I have a couple at the house. I even have a couple of their kitchen knives. They hold up to abuse nicely.

    I have a Mora Robust, I know they're super light, I guess I was asking because 1/4 lb seemed much heavier than they feel in hand.

    I'd guess a standard Companion would be 1/6 lb? Great knives, I wish they made a FFG version.

    Well-said. It would look great in a shadow box or display case, but I just don't see the practicality to the design. I'm more into knives for their usability, not their photogenic qualities. But hey, to each their own.

    same thing happened to me with my ZT 0566, had a rattle inside the handle and emailed bladeHQ and they referred me to ZT direct because they said they could only replace my knife if it hadn't been used, i said well i have had it in my pocket for a couple weeks and they said no can do, talk to ZT.

    Yup, I won't deal with BladeHQ anymore due to this. It's a shame their customer service department won't handle minor warranty issues.

    But on a brighter note, my Protech TR-3 showed back up today. :woot:

    Protech even redid the black coating on the handle where a section had worn off under the pocket clip. I'm very impressed with their customer service.

    NICE!!! i contacted ZT and they are great, told me to get the knife back to them for a little grease, i asked if it hurts the functionality at all and they said no so i didnt want to go through the hassle. Im in the same boat, dont think ill buy through bladehq again unless they have a killer price!!

    I am a fan of http://www.knivesplus.com/

    If anyone is in the market for a killer strop block at $20 bucks you cant go wrong with it!!

    I generally use DMT stones then move onto crock sticks and then to my spyderco ceramic for honing, finish it off on the knivesplus strop block and its great how sharp things get!!

    i purchased the spyderco tenacious for this very reason, along with this video showing how sharp it stays and then quickly back to wicked sharp!!

    I'm gonna chop off the belt clip and make it lighter. It's the best reason not to carry a havalon:)

    Did it ship from Amazon, or did you buy it from a retailer selling on Amazon?

    You got Prime? I loves me some Amazon Prime. Just ordered some stuff Wed night that will be delivered any minute now. I get stuff weekly (sometimes daily) and Prime is cooler than the other side of the pillow.

    Amazon. It was not prime. On the bright side they did hit my credit card in about 10 secs. Haha.
