I hadn't heard of Mora before, they appear to be the main competitor to Opinel. I may get one.
Knives and Tools have a good range - although they don't seem to have the classic no 2 just the 2F version with a finger guard.

Prices? OK, they also sell on this site (link below) in NZ. Don't forget that prices are in $NZD (which is the Pacific Peso) so do a currency convert to get UK price equivalent.Probably the black handle....
But I do like the wooden handle too....
How much are they coz I didn't notice any price's, maybe I didn't look properly.
Morra's are great knives for the moneyI have a Mora Classic No. 2 (same blade as the companion) which I wouldn't think twice about carrying anywhere I think I'll need it. Mostly it earns its keep making feather sticks and batoning wood on camping trips but it's a very useful tool for anything where you need a sharp edge. A lot sturdier than a folding knife.
Moras aren't expensive but have decent steel and easy-to-sharpen scandi grinds.

FWIW, an American metal enthusiast has just designed/invented what many are terming the "Holy Grail" of knife steels, Magnacut:
CPM MagnaCut - The Next Breakthrough in Knife Steel - Knife Steel Nerds
CPM MagnaCut is a new stainless knife steel designed to be better than anything that has been available before. Is it a success?knifesteelnerds.com

Having bought two Opinels, I am all knifed out so my interest stops at their websites if they can't be bothered to list prices.Does Google not work in the UK?
To my eye, they are better-looking than the Opinels, but I guess the locking mechanism makes them UK street-illegal.The Antonini Old Bear are quite reminiscent of Opinel, and not hugely different in price (at least in Euro, not sure how it looks by the time they get here).

Crackers laws on knives here, and even more so than most of Europe. Introduced, of course, just when it became easier to buy a decent lock-knife that wouldn't close on your fingers, as the non-locking versions can do.You piqued my curiosity and I gandered at the UK knife laws.

I have a very nice smidge under 3" CK Swedish steel blade wooden and brass handled lock knife which I used to take to work every day in my brief case to cut up my fruit at lunch time - true; I used it for years in many establishments. Is this a good reason (or would it be considered as a good reason) to be carrying a knife, as I was actually using it at work?
