My wife has never really had a knife but relying on her scissors while tinkering in the garden. When she does need a knife she usually as me to lend her "your heavy and sharp knife", aka my old Buck 110.
However today we visited the local hardware store were I bought a pack of targets and she found - a knife, she wanted to buy...
100 targets £5.99 and a knife £39
Her choice was the evergreen Mora Scout 39, launched back in 1939, hence it's number.
It features a barrel-shaped handle made from FSC-certified Scandinavian birch wood, sized perfectly for smaller hands. It comes in colors like Natural, Blueberry (Blue), and Lingonberry (Red).
The 2.00 mm thick blade uses a high-quality Swedish stainless steel (hardened Sandvik 12C27) that is optimized for sharpness retention, high hardness, and exceptional rust resistance. The steel runs through the entire handle, providing high stability and strength during use.
The steel undergoes a specialized heat-treatment and hardening process that brings it to a nominal hardness of 56.5 HRC on the Rockwell scale.
The knife includes a robust sheath made of vegetable-tan leather, featuring a belt loop and a secure snap button to keep the knife in place.
A timeless top choice, actually my first own knife ever was identical, but with a blue handle, gifted by my father in the summer of 1977.
