The Morakniv Basic 511: There was only 2235 of these produced and they will never be made again.
The molding process for these basics is a three-step process. The First step of these particular knives was done using transparent plastic instead of adding pigment as they do with all of the rest of their knives. This can easily be seen just

Nice collectable
I added this to my cart as an impulse buy. Just a little collectable as part of my first purchase from Ragweed Forge, so that's how I'll review it. It bought at the same time as Pro Flex model. As a working tool, it makes me glad the pro models have the extra traction from the soft overmold. But as a memento to pick up and hold once in a while, the Basic model is surprisingly nice. It several different textures to run your fingers over, and the smooth plastic make that a nicer experience because it never feel grippy or sticky. Just the right balance of friction and glide. Also, the colorless premold turns out to be a good key for the eyes. A little unobtrusive warning reminding you to not cross this line. If Morakniv ever takes feedback from reviews like this, they might consider implementing on some of their regular lines.
Good job to Ragweed Forge for a quirky design choice that I think turned out to be practical.

Perfect knife for general handyman work, at a great price. The order was shipped promptly, cannot recommend Ragweed Forge enough.
