Which one of these knives would you Guys recomend me ?
I will use it for hiking and camping.Maybe for fishing too,but I have a nice Buck 119 for that purpose :)
Since the larger M95 isn't a chopper,maybe the M07 with it's shotrter and wider blade would be better
I'm more for the M95 right now,but I'm open for your opinions :) With it's 150 x 25 mm blade,the M95 seems just right.But that M07 with 130 x 27 mm blade isn't bad either.Hard to choose ! :D

Get them both isn't the solution of my problem,because I only have the cash for one of them ;)
 
Well,it's going to be the larger M95 :)
I'm surprised no one has experience with this knife...
AtteJ has made a great review of the M95.

You were just a little quick. :D I know at least PatriotDan and myself on this forum have used those M.07 things.

Personally, I would go with the larger, older model, M.95. Although I can't really explain why as well as I would like! :eek: I am, however, used to it, and the M.07 feels a bit short in comparison, and not as good in batoning and chopping (although the M.95 isn't a chopper, either, it can chop a lot better than the smaller one). The M.07 is a lot more handle heavy than its big brother, and a lot more agile, and better for carving and such precision work. So, it rather depends on what you're looking for. On the other hand, for a knife for precision type work (especially wood work), I would buy something thinner and shorter still with a scandi grind, as in a traditional puukko.
 
Well,I want a knife that I can bring when hiking - one knife to do it all.I will also carry a Victorinox Trailmaster or Buck 110 on my person.
From that point of view the M95 would definately be better :)

Oh yes. If you're bringing along a smaller knife (blade length under, say, 10 cm), then there's no doubt you should go with the M.95. :thumbup: The M.95 is actually one of my favourite do-it-all knives. It's not extremely expensive, it's comfortable in the hand, it's a decent cutter, great stabber, strong enough to baton recklessly with, takes some light to medium prying without taking a set, isn't too heavy or too long to be relatively comfortable for even the smaller tasks, and finally it also chops a bit if you need to. And it even comes with an unusually decent sheath. The knife is all kinds of ugly, though, as far as fit and finish is concerned. :D
 
Well,I hope the M95 will be ordered in 10 days or so :)
I can't wait :D
For the expensive part - it's quite expensive for me,but I want to get the best I can afford.
(I'm a student in high school and don't have much cash - one M95 is equal to four of the articles I write for a local weapons magazine :D :D :D )
 
I used to own the regular sized version, it was a great knife. But I think the smaller one looks perfect. (At least for most anyhting I'd use it for)
