It is a good knife to begin with or maybe you’ve lost or had one of your pricier knives stolen and just wanted something to continue carving with while you save up for a better one.

The wood also gives it a natural feeling and also gives you the possibility to form the handle for optimal shape. The handle used also comes from another Mora knife which is the 510.

Although it came sharp, I did have to hone it for a couple minutes after cutting a couple pieces of wood, but after that it held an edge really well. The blade is very narrow and easy to sharpen, and it definitely is a quality blade.
