Question 1

Is this a full tang knife?

Accepted Answer

If you want a full tang Morakniv you'll want to check out the relatively new (2016) Garberg here on Amazon. Comes with a leather sheath or multimount sheath system. Regardless, you'll be hard pressed to find a better rock solid value than any Mora, full tang or 3/4.

Question 2

Is upgraded sheath (fire/ sharpening stone) worth the money?

Accepted Answer

Sharpening stone is extremely rough, scratch's everything. All my sharpeners have been smooth. Great idea to have it attached to carrying case but feel very uncomfortabe using such a rough sharpener, especially with the marks it left in the black finish of the knife when I tried it out.
Not a fan of the Plastic.
Knife does come out easy enough.
Knife it's self I like, disappointed in rest of it, especially stupid cheap clips that attach to it, finally got the one in ...now can't get it off.
Comes with no instructions, which would be helpful since you can't put fire starter in either way...one way it falls out, teeth of fastener to fire starter ... Hope they don't give out, doesn't feel secure.

Question 3

Is the built in sharpening stone a good, usable piece of equipment?

Accepted Answer

If you want solid sharpening system that won't break the bank, buy a lansky blade medic from Amazon for under $10. It's pocket size and carbide and ceramic sharpening methods set to a 30 degree angle to keep your field knife in top shape (as well as a ceramic stone for honing and a flip out diamond file for serrated blades). I have three lansky blade medics and use them on all my Moraknives, Benchmades, Kershaws, and my Leathermans. The are awesome and a must to have.

As far as rough field options for sharpening knives, there are several options available: smooth rocks in a creek bed, concrete driveway/road, cinder blocks, metal files, cardboard (when a leather Strop isn't available), roughly ceramic ring on bottom of coffee cups and plates/bowls, flat glass edge on top edge of vehicle window, and so many other methods that can be found on Google/YouTube.

The rough diamond file on the sheath is meant to shape the blade when it is to dull to Strop in the field. Wear a real leather belt and use the backside of the belt to Strop the blade after using the rough diamond file on the sheath. Cardboard can be used in place of a leather belt/leather Strop to Strop the blade (stroping the blade removes the metal burs built up on the edge of the blade that cause the blade to be dull; it is common to see an old fashioned barber Strop a straight razor before he/she shaves your face).

Question 4

is it legal to carry this knife in New York City

Accepted Answer

Nothing is legal in NYC. I'd move to an actual American city were everything is legal and you are treated like an adult.
