Knife advice

Listen guys, only ZORRO needs more than a Mora Clipper...

Agreed, but its not about need, its about WANT. Nice tools are part of the fun.

My Vanguard does the job, cleans up and sharpens well and feels secure in the hand . After reading the thread so far I am starting to get a picture of the forests and moors littered three deep in lost knives!

Got to be honest, if a guy can use the blade he carries well then I'm cool with that. I hate taking out guys that have the rediculous looking reindeer ball bag sheathed custom job or gut hook jobs that are as sharp as noddy's bell end and use them like a fanny or better still are affraid to use it properly because it might get damaged or dirty. I tip my hat to guys that whip out a clipper or similar and with practiced hands make light work of the gralloch on any deer.

The equipment you carry is a personal choice but I'd rather damage or loose a £10 mora clipper than a knife of many times its value.

It's a good plan - I found a mora clipper sticking out of the bank on a remote Hebridean loch and I wasn't even looking. A well planned search in more populated areas is likely to turn up a good range of knives for you to pick from. I really like my Fallkniven F1 and so would suggest you keep a particularily sharp eye out for one of those plus see if you can pick up one of the Fallkniven DC4 sharpening "stones" as it will get a mora clipper sharp enough, even with my limited skills, to cut stips of paper off the edge of some A4 printer paper.
