Impulse buy.....Didn't "need" it but the Moki knives I've seen over the years have always peeked my interest so being a B&T pattern fan I had a weak moment when I saw this one on line for about half what they usually go for.....

Showed up today.....I'm very impressed....feels good in the hand and the F&F is as good as any knife I own......the sheath's nice too....I like the way they fold the entire piece of leather over to make the belt loop...a nice touch...

Nice little knife, looks to be some sort of burl handle material. I like the sheath as well, I may try that style some day.

Thanks....the handle's "Quince"....what ever the hell that is....my interweb search turned up everything from a fruit to a bush to a hardwood grown in several different countries....there's a strain of it grown in Australia which might be the source since Japan's pretty close to Oz....the knife's actually a lot nicer than I thought it would be....wish I was a better photographer....

I'm confused...the first and second pictures are different knives. Which one did you buy?

No, it just looks that way because it's upside down. Most knives have any jimping groves on the spine, thus your confusion.

Beautiful knife, sir.

Correct.....this one actually has finer jimping on the spine as well but my crappy camera didn't pick it up....the jimping top and bottom are perfect....there's allot of detail on this little knife for the price...

I can see them now,if I squint just right. It looks like a good design for finesse.

good stuff guy!

Like both the knife and sheath.

Best,


GWB

Yea....it's a delicate little thing....but then....so am I.....

Nice looking knife. Let us know how the edge holds up after you've had it for a bit.

I really like Moki knives although I do not own any. That is a beauty!

Bobcat?

I will.....it's AUS8 which the experts tell me is about like 1095 as far as edge retention goes.....which is fine with me because I really like 1095.....



Me too...their folders look pretty nice too....kinda pricey but what isn't these days....

Yes....Bobcat.....

cool knife.

Here's a little better pix.....not much better but the sun isn't all that cooperative this time of year....


Here's another one....

Link to acquisition source?

Jimping on the bottom, that's unique and quite practical. Very nice looking scales.

Check they're egay store too....they had em for $65 and free shipping a couple of weeks ago.....

I bought a folder from Cabela's years ago with the Quince scales, with ats 34 steel.

Really like those scales.

Sweet knife FG!

Love the Moki knives.
I have the Med Banff. It is absolutely my favorite blade. Awesome grind in VG-10. Only bitch would be the handle is a bit small.

They make killer folders as well. I absolutely agree they are a lot of knife for the money.

In past years,A.G. Russell, in his catalogs would list knives. With Quince on them and he referred to it as Chinese Quince.

Could very well be grown in China Mike...I have no idea.....it's kinda purdy where ever it comes from though....

I don't know how durable it is either but it should hold up to the light use it'll see from me....

Looks good. I've always wondered about their folders myself.

Ditto's on the med banff, and it looks like I should add a B&T as a companion.
