Folk are right proud of the G96 knives, just check used knife prices on those babies.

I also remember them, and their entire line of products, they still exist as the only civilian marketeer of the latest/greatest milspec CLP formula.

Back to the Mora, the tested knife has a long tapered radiused tang of at least 3/4 handle length, with notches/holes for security in the cast handle.

The Garberg has a more "full tang", and essentially a cast layer enclosing it, and likely could be handled with slab scales for the industrious. I have actually seen photos from the super-industrious who have then ground the tang back to old style and installed fancy wood.

This is the Garberg, nekkid, from last year at SHOT. It weighs pretty much same as a Ruana 14B.
