which Frost

[EdS]

I'm loking at getting a stainless Frost knife for playing on the beach & fishing etc - some thing loosable cheap and less rust prone as all my good blades are carbon steel (and expensive - to me anyway).

So will I go for the Clipper 860 or the Mora 760. I think th guad would have to come of the Mora and and the orang Clipper might be useful. However, the blade shape of the Mora might be better for dealing with fish andthe odd bunny plusthe handle looks easier to keep clean.

So lets have some opinions as to which is the best bet.


And we need a new filleting knife so I might as well get one that I can take outside - any suggetions?

well i like the 760 but i guess im bias because they are the only ones iv owned (carbon and stainless)

surely you can just use the mora? saves carrying two knives

true - but I want one for home anyway so thought I kill 2 birds with 1 stone as it where.

Hold the pigeons, here comes a cat!

Frosts do a pretty nice filleting knife with much the same handle as the clipper, a mate just picked one up at the CLA gamefair so i din't know the vendor.

Otherwise I use a stainless clipper whenever I get let loose in the kitchen.

The Mora 2000 is worth a look as well, it's a great knife and a little different from the run of the mill mora and clipper models.

I use the clippers a lot but recently im using the 2000 more and more, I skinned a few bunnies and a fox on Friday night with mine and i love it.

I use the orange handled serrated blade for fishing, and I find it pretty useful, but my main Mora, is the Birch handled one, it an old one I found in an old woodshed in Sweden, and is of the bi-metal variety, soft stuff on the exterior and hard stuff in the core, the blade tanged through the end of the handle and peened over, the way I like blades to be handled, as a swift knock with a hammer tightens up the mountings when they become loose. I particularly like the scabbard for the old Frost's knife, it hanging by a loop, very useful and out of the way when wearing. The scabbard extension, belt loop thingy, I made from an old belt and three copper pennies.

Well, a photo ;

Filleting knife, well, I just got one of those '. Forever Sharp ' things made out of surgical steel, and phew, it's sharp, ( it shaves hairs, good enough for me),and with a very flexible blade, it rides back bones with ease, I am impressed, and it was cheap too.

Oh, I have their other blades too, in the kitchen, and they are just as impressive.

I have a stainless orange clipper with the straight blade (no serrations).

Works well on mackerel etc. and no problems with rust.

I got the serrated knife and a blue handled straight edge knife in Sweden, cost, about £6 each, they are available in most places, and guess what, anyone can buy them, including sprogs. In Sweden, just look around, all people engaged in work, in their natty colour coded work wear, similar to Snickers stuff here, all carry fixed blade knives as part of their attire, often in a chest sheath, where it can be got at one handed when needed. The sprogs, well, they are free to carry and use knives, no one bats an eyelid at a sprog with a blade, totally different to molly coddling nanny state Britain and it's problems.

OK stainless cliper it is - so who does them cheap?

I recently purchased two stainless orange Clippers from Attleborough Accesories to use while I'm canoeing.

Probably not the cheapest out there but the service was good.
