my nippers were baught a mora clipper each last year,fantastic carbon blades but the handles are awfull plastic and rubber,still for a tenner you cant complain,but today i decided to do a make over on jacks knife,and given my love of dimondwood i settled on the green and brown and added some mosaic pins for a touch of class,heres the result:
has anyone else modded their mora?

I actually like the handle on my Mora 840MG. As you say, great blades as well. I still can't believe how cheap they are. Every time I look I consider buying up about 20 just in case they realise how good these knives are and push the price up!
Got to agree the mora blades are good for the money. But I was thinking of putting another handle on one.
Think I might have to splash out and buy another one.
There was another thread on here somewhere about doing this, did you extend the knife tang? As they are short once the original handle comes off.
the old handle was removed easilly,just slid a chisel along the flat of the blade and split it.the new handle was two pieces ,i drew around the blade and routed the shape out with a dremmel,then used epoxy resin to glue together and clamped it tight.
