Mora Eldris Altoid Tin Survival Knife 

Why don't people watch the series of videos regarding the Altoids Tin challenge, before making inane comments, such as "Why would you do this to a perfectly good knife?" Keep up the great work, and thanks for making the videos.

Exceedingly niche information that I found exceptionally helpful. Very cool project, too. Thanks for the content!

Greetings from Alabama! This was a great project that dovetailed nicely into your Altoid survival tin series. Well done!

Part 1 of your Overnight came up in my feed and I just wanted to say I'm really impressed. I've been working my way back through your build videos now and I have to say, you really deliver a lot of great applicable knowledge. Love how you go and do the things with the kit you built. Actions speak so much louder than words. I'm going to start working on my can right away, and I'm going to def share your channel with my friends. Thanks so much. Please keep up the great work. Wish you well!!!

Seeing you destroy a fine knife like this one hurts just like a straight kick to the nutsack.

Thank you for your time and effort. You’ve allowed me to see exactly what’s inside my Eldris!

Nice. A great idea for a small survival tin. I personally prefer a larger kit for survival, but this is a great blade for any small kit. The Pathfinder Shop has tins that are just a bit bigger than the Altoids tin. You could save a little more handle using one of them.

I’m glad you are pleased with the results of your project. I hope the modified knife fits your needs. The standard Eldris handle is about the minimum length I feel is useful for any real cutting tasks. I’m not positive, but I believe the “slots” in the tang are there to give molded handle material and/or epoxy a better grip on the stick tang. In any event, thank you for the look into the handle of this Mora knife.

interesting, i suspected the thang ends somewhere in the middle. I am impressed by mora again and again :-) Love my eldris and all the others i have from them.

Very innovative. The eldris is a great little blade! Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day

I'm sorry, but your work broke my heart! 😭😭😭 Alternative title: "How to make worse a perfect knife" 😂😂😂 IMHO you wasted time and money. You could sacrifice to your tin can a cheap Chinese blade, instead. 🤓

I break off knives and small jig saws and fit them in my Altoona kit. I use locking pliers as the handle for the blade and saw and walls small and modular.

Message from morakniv - "your guarantee is void" lol , good vid. :)

I just watched this again, Jamie. Love it!

U.S. Legion Custom Knifeworks....search it on eBay. They build and sell a full tang heavy duty blade that was designed to fit the tin.

Nicely done! One should never have a sub-par knife in their survival kit. Mora makes great blades.

If you put some fishing line or string in the kit you could split a stick and secure it around the tang to give it a larger handle out in the field

This is a great idea. I probably would have taken it a step further, though. If you were willing to sacrifice the extra 1/8" of blade, you could fit a nice curve into that space that would prevent your hand from sliding forward, and would give better grip.

I make similar survival knives out of Sawzall blades but use decent quality blades grind to a shape you want and grind in an edge just keep cool with water every couple seconds

It is very hard to put off this handle but i try. Its a good idea to make your own handle instead

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but did you consider adding a couple holes that were just a bit smaller than a nail that would fit in the tin to hold the handle more securely in place? I saw the overnighter first and I know you struggled with slippage

Why?

firstly its better in a Tobacco tin or Mini mess tin, secondly is it not better to bend it and use a rock to hammer it flat later?

Just what I was looking for. THANKS

I think I'd rather have a longer handlecthan more blade, it might be more secure to hold. The blade length seems fine on the stock eldris after all.

splendid idea Jamie. Thanks and ATB.

Thanks for great video :)

Really. You had to destroy a knife just to have one fit an Altoids. Could not find some small knife, like a folder to fit a lousy Altoids tin. I don't get the logic here. Besides the Eldris is snall anyway. Maybe use the Eldris as a neck knife to have on you always.

It's interesting to see what the tang in an Eldris looks like . Thumbs up and thanks .

great job Jamie

What good is the knife for the woods when you can not control the blade because the handle is too small?

Good job!

Lol i saved all the materials might take some time to reassemble.. i love mora i just ordered something new might take my mora spot i got a fallkniven kklz or kolt knive

I thought it was a good idea I'm not certain if i would it but i did enjoy the vid. However, i personally do not have a knife in my Altoids tin but i do have a razor as i carry a knife 99.9 % off the time. I'm working on my esee tin which is a bigger version. I have considered the classic Opinel #9 which is a great knife to keep in a kit sonething to consider. The #9 has a blade length thats as long as the cut down a Mora while closed so you will always have a handle. I own a few Moras also its a heck of an knife. Thx for sharing.

Liked the concept a lot. Once in the bushes, it should take only a few min to make wooden handle!

Would you be willing to make another one using a mora companion? keep the tip portion and grind down the rest into a handle

Why on earth would you do this? I appreciate now knowing the full length of the tang so thanks for that. But why? What is the hang up on an altoids tin? Just asking and also, just saying. No judging here.

I think this was back great experiment I'm big on Altoids tins and this is a much larger option than my Kik Spyderco bug in my tin 😃

can u show how you'd rehandle this?

Just needed a bigger tin

Interesting approach :)

Love the idea and the way the 🔪 can be use as a project for something else.

Hi, could you tell us the weight of the bare blade please?

great idea! i will try this with a stainless mora no.1 its only like 13.50 for a blank blade on amazn -cheers

What a great video mate, I really enjoyed watching. SurvivalAustria

Should've drilled a hole in the tang so you could make a wooden handle in emergency and pin it through so it would stay.

Good video good information Jamie

i'd just get a bigger tin :D

I would slap a stacked leather handle on it slim one

weird they bury part of the edge in the handle like that, huh?

Cool video, but somewhere in the world Dave Canterbury is shedding a tear 🤣

Ruin a $25 knife to fit in an .89 cent tin....Wha?

I get and share the Altoid notion, but I wonder how much your mod has negated the normal effectiveness of the Eldris, even with, say, a paracord handle. Me? I'd have modded the tin. Or dropped in a Fallkniven U4 or U2.

so Eldris is actually a full tang knife!!

The job would have been easier if you had put a cutoff wheel on your angle grinder.

Wouldn't have been better to just buy a folder. This is like fixing a problem that wasn't a problem, with something that causes more problems.

Try to whittle wood with it really quick just make a spear tip from a 1” round stick… you prolly couldn’t 😂

Why don't you buy a blank just 8 bucks

Or... you could get a slightly bigger box...

Mhhhhhh dont know how to say it gently ahhhh okay yes so You do what You want with Your Knife thats fine but in my opinion this was not so great but so what its Your knife buhuhuuuu the poor Eldris!!!! :(

Why would anyone want to do this to a perfectly good knife. I'm sorry, but a knife for an altoid tin is just a waste. I almost cried 😢.

Зачем ломать нож ,купи складной! Ну или возьми коробку побольше. Вобщем снял ролик какой я дурак ! Он наверное своему ребенку новые ботинки не покупает,а просто подрезает пальцы на ногах!

You could've gave me that knife

Yeah, in a pinch you can cut the shit out of your hands in an emergency situation.
