Mora Light My Fire knives at Meijer.

Not on the shelves of the Meijer stores in Fort Wayne or Merriville.

I found them at the Richmond Meijer. They weren't with the other knives. They were in the camping section on the bottom row. They were almost hidden.

I have not bought Mora knives for maybe 4 years since I bought many over the years and don't need more.
They are great knives for the price and take a beating. I have always found them to be an excellent product.
Just checked Amazon and they are going for about the same prices they were around 4 years ago.
Average Mora stainless steel 4 inch blade is about $14

Well, I did a little testing last night. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to compare it to but it the decent sparks. It was easy enough to light a small bit of tinder inside my wood stove.

I did notice that the initial strike threw considerably more sparks than subsequent strikes. If I rotated it slightly and hit a fresh area, it threw great sparks and then slowed down.

Picked one up yesterday at the Meijer in New Albany/Clarksville. If nothing else it'll make a good knife for my car bag.

If you have a stainless steel mora they dont throw sparks near as well as the carbon steel versions.

Why is that? Do they polish or radius the spine more on the stainless knives? With a ferrocerium rod it should be all about how sharp the edge is and not the composition. I didn't know this until I saw Dave Canterbury throwing a metric butt-tonne load of sparks from a ferro rod with a piece of broken glass in one of his videos.
