THE BIG WEIRD MORA

[@CedricAda]

Getting the bit out at 6.20 or so where it blasts fire emblem music at you

[@TheTomrader]

Haha. That Joe X bit killed me.

[@knoxknifemods]

So nice when we hit a high frequency of new C&A videos. Feels good man.

[@ColdHarborOP]

Your latest string of videos have really features your unique brand; lots of information, entertaining as hell, and with your trademark style and punch of panache. Please keep them coming. And I loved the Joe X "cameo".

[@buckaroobunnyslippers]

Wow, you've been putting out so much great content in the last few weeks! I hope the youtube gods reward you for what must be a rather insane work ethic! And now I want another Mora!

[@WeldmanJones-gj7dl]

Lol yes the Joe x scenario was great:)

[@beaver6d9]

The behind the scenes drama that lead to all the change ups in Dual Survival is honestly pretty fascinating! The OG combo still the best.

[@CedricAda]

Joe Teti and Cody were the most awkward paring

[@tracerxrider]

I think any pairing with Cody would be awkward.

[@heyarno]

I did look at that knife often and think about it a lot. But in the end, I did buy a number 3 blade from mora and gave it a nice long custom handle from cherry wood. It does not weigh a lot, is well balanced when gripping it traditionally, is very slicy, carves bigger stuff well, reverse grips well for plucking some greenery single handed, does nicely at light chopping and has a nice long straight cutting edge section that is good for light batoning when crafting stuff.

[@SliceyMcChop]

Your channel is pure entertainment. Easy and enjoyable to watch, and i’d be surprised if it doesn’t continue to grow with this type of content. Like i saw some one say already you’ve found your brand in the knife community , its natural and refreshing.

[@kermitthepog7063]

I'm appreciating your current higher rate of video production, i hope you keep it up! That audio cut at 6:20 almost blew my eardrums out though! R.I.P headphone users. Please don't do that if it's on purpose, it's not fun!

[@archivist17]

I am amazed at your neverending supply of trashcans. 😂

[@timmymartin7293]

Bushcraft Black always in my edc pack. Love it

[@PumatoneStudios]

Mora’s AllRound series comes in ~8”, 6”, 4” variants, some stainless, some carbon. They’ve got my favorite Mora handle shape, nice thin blade stock, and the sheathes are Ok. The 8” and 4” SS are really good in the kitchen, and the 6” in carbon is excellent in the yard and woods.

[@MB-jg4tr]

I have the morakniv 748MG Allround 6", now discontinued. It's a little awkward in balance with the long blade. I love the full fat handle, and the sheath that's similar to the Mora2000 with a leather dangler. I use it like a pull blade sometimes, but it's pretty limited in its usefulness being so long and skinny. It's good for food prep and butchering, but it's understandable why they discontinued it.

[@PumatoneStudios]

@@MB-jg4tr dang, I didn’t know they were discontinued, but I guess I’m not surprised. I’m glad I got my three Allrounds when I did. 4” in my go bag, 6” in the tool bag, and 8” in the kitchen. For bushcraft and such, I have a few Companions, but they just can’t snap cut like the 6” Allround.

[@lordbjesomar]

Exactly,allround is my Jam,so comfortable in hand!

[@A.J.Collins]

JoeX is pure catharsis. Great channel.

[@AYellowPepper]

I have one of the Pathfinder Knives. I like mine a lot! The sheath works well for me, i just used a Zip tie to secure the strap to the rivets and it created a perfectly fine dangler sheath. I like it because i was looking for exactly what you said, a long Mora thats better at splitting and cooking! :D

[@mmiller73]

Love the Bushcraft Black but never felt compelled to buy the Pathfinder. If I am going to buy a knife with a 6” blade it’s going to have a full tang. I think you are spot on that it is inspired by the Old Hickory 7” butcher knives. Dave Cantebury loves those things, or he used to anyway.

[@axion8788]

Joe X, a knife tester "who is a bit blunt".🤣🤣🤣

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

I've always imagined that Joe X has a "Free Parking" sign at the end of his driveway, to help provide a ready supply of cars to thrash.

[@_BLANK_BLANK]

I loved the part where the music came in when you started comparing different knives, and it was so loud you couldn't hear your voice. Then suddenly drops off. 😂

[@CedricAda]

hahah thanks for letting me know missed in edit. snipped it out!

[@_BLANK_BLANK]

@@CedricAda no problem lol. I figured it was an editing mistake. At least it wasn't as bad as the cody ko video where like half of it was just music playing instead of the normal audio.

[@ĶČXXĻ-ĀxÐ]

Yeah, this knife isn’t for me. But in order to shoot the sheath a little bail. At least they put grommets in each corner. Which means you can easily create a belt loop and dangler with Paracord or any piece of line. Bottom grommets to tie down to leg, or pack. Shout Joe X! Great Video, thanks.

[@croatialives]

You can always use a bit of paracord to attach to your belt I'm sure alot of crafty people have paracord. By the way love the video as always

[@not-a-raccoon]

My favorite mora is still the companion HD. Super cheap. Decent steel. The only thing it doesnt have is a 90 degree spine for striking sparks, which 1 minute with a file will fix. Or just use a ferro rod striker.

[@MB-jg4tr]

I almost always prefer rounded spine for thumb comfort. I usually have something else to strike a ferrocerium rod with.

[@archivist17]

I already have five lightweight firestarting kits in my camping kit, so 🤷

[@knownaigm]

Just a little campfire cooking tip, it's way better to let the fire burn down to coals and cook over that instead of open flames. Much much more control and even heat.

[@270winch]

Fyi: Set feedsack on ground with double stitch facing toward you Reach over to side facing away from you (should be single stitch) Grab thread at left end of single stitch side, pull. Bag now open, and you have string.

[@CedricAda]

but then what would put in my youtube knife reviews 😅😅

[@kinguin7]

THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT INTRO, WE'LL FINISH THE JOEX FANFIC FOR YOU.

[@martinhafner2201]

I like the look of that sheath. I would add a velcro loop about 3 inches down from the top and add a couple snaps at the mid and bottom to secure the molle strap. Yes, it has problems as-is, but it looks to be very easy to modify.

[@chrishynes6091]

Watched this after a ripper... Fantastic👍

[@LarsRibe]

I don't have any Moras right now. If I get one, I think it'll be the Kansbol or one of the small classics 01 or 02. Great review - looking forward to the next.

[@martinhafner2201]

The Kansbol is really nice as a camp knife. The thin front is good for cutting food and skinning and the full scandi bottom 2/3 is good for wood carving and stuff. I think it has the best handle of all the Moras, in that it is the shape of the Garberg with added rubberized areas. I wish they made it in the 14C28N steel instead of the 12C27.

[@MB-jg4tr]

Look into the Mora2000, the precursor of the kansbol. The handle is much better. The blade is almost exactly the same only it has a mirror finish and rounded spine. It's much more comfortable to use. And I like the basic sheath more which has a leather dangler riveted onto it. It's a little less expensive also. Best camp knife I've ever found.

[@atvheads]

The holes at the bottom of the knife sheath is useful for blowing air to the fire to, not only for remove water. Just blow thro the opening to the fire.

[@destro6971]

Indeed there is room for many content creators and reviewers in the knife world, as many opinions and uses as stars in the sky, etc. there is room for only 1 Joe X though. 😂 Dude is out there on the edge

[@CSGraves]

Someone had to fill the void after Noss disappeared I guess

[@feralgrandad4429]

Ive brought 2 of them and sold both. Agree with you 100% Pete.

[@Howlin000]

As a swede I'm loving these Morakniv reviews!

[@Cid_1]

I also really like the Mora Classic, particularly the Classic Nr 2 & Nr 3. I think they are very often overlooked. Such great work knives around the house and yard work. And can even handle some bushcraft tasks, for being rat tail knives. But I guess there is a reason why they have stuck around for almost 100 years. I Highly recommend picking one up, as they are well worth the $20-30 cost.

[@aido1987]

I can confirm that the mora classics are excellent knives. The standard sheath is pretty bad though

[@swave7019]

Bro the guts theme got me good 😂

[@jamescrumbaker3169]

Same! 😂

[@RichardPoogerman]

The Joe X segment was effing hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@bennyc409]

Bloody hell Pete. I was watching a happy-go-lucky knife review, then suddenly the Guts theme kicked in...

[@J.sh_CDN]

Suggestion for the sheath Attach a heavy duty Caribeaner to it! The best part of the normal Mora companion Sheaths are that they cab clip onto your belt, or pocket or waistband if you dont have a belt on. The Carribeaner gives you the same advantages. You can clip it to your pocket or waistband, or feed your belt through it its what ive done to my other Mora sheaths. The Kansbol has just a belt loop, so i aded the caribeaner to that. The classic knives have a minimal sheath, so a small loop for cord or a metal split ring and a Carribeaner go on to those. If you have the less common Mora Allround series, they have a sturdy black plastic sheath and the bit of plastic that can clip onto a bottom, but not much room for a belt, so i put a cord and caribeaner on those as well. Basically all my non Companion knives have this, and it makes them all much much nicer to wear. Even just to clip into your wastband, and then easily unclip when needed.

[@rileycoppicus1128]

After hard using mine for a while I can conform it's amazing wood prep and still a decent food slicer and cuts meat well. Sucks that the sheath is garbage lol

[@nirfz]

About your Joe X meeting in the field story: From the videos i have seen from him, i think i can guess in which part of austria he is (i can be wrong of course), and all i can say is: at least that is the part where you won't find many hikers (and tourists hiking) as it is the least mountainous part.😉

[@charlessalmond7076]

I've only owned one Garberg. Still have it. I use it as a example of a knife that the majority of people seem to love, yet I don't care for it. Of all the Moras I've owned or tried a plain Companion is my choice every time.

[@Tony-zp8xn]

I like the idea of the Pathfinder as a bigger knife, but over the years, I've gravitated toward smaller knives. It seems like a good choice for anyone who wants to Mora, but wants a little more of a Bowie style. My wife and I have several different Mora knives, and my absolute favorite Mora is the Mora 2000. The double grind is fantastic and it's excellent as a general camp/food knife; It's my go-to for food prep while camping. I think the Garberg is unnecessary and more than I want to spend on a Mora, but for the die-hard "It must be full tang and a fixed blade" crowd, it's fine choice. For a little reference on preference, since I got it back in 2017, the current Victorinox Soldier's knife is my absolute favorite of the 30+ knives I own because it's such a capable tool.

[@standardcitizen5948]

Would love to see you make a kayaking video. Especially if you use that green Spyderco Salt knife.

[@getsmart3701]

Nobody loves it, I get that but...I LOVE my Pathfinder. I grinded (apparently this is the correct tense) the "shoulders" off the scandi grind, and took off the black coating. I use it for all the knife sort of stuff you need when camping but this knife shines, truely shines when butchering. Yes, it looks like a big rugged butcher knife and it can do the work really well. I use mine most often when slaughtering, I bleed, mke the initial cuts in the hide and break up the carcasses with it in order to protect the more delicate butcher knives. As Joe found out, not the strongest of knives but it's light, manoeuvrable and it's got an excellent handle and steel combo. The Bushcrft Black is for most folk but the Pathfinder is for the weirdos.

[@brewman6218]

The benchmade Leuku is another good one in this same category.

[@CSGraves]

This reminds me of a souped-up Classic no. 3. Also too big for typical Mora tasks, and too light for a leuku.

[@saheliumd7182]

The chicken looked so good!

[@Kraakesolv]

I had no problems making a belt loop. Just put the long tabs through the upper hole thing and tighten when on belt. Alternatively use paracord or a carabiner. Worked fine, you absolutely don't have to buy a new sheath. That's just inventing problems instead of solutions. Anyway, big fan and fun video as always. I much prefer my 9 inch Sami knife anyway.

[@mannihh5274]

I'm quite sure, they put on the secondary micro-bevel on purpose to make it a little more robust, the non-DLC-coated ones have it too. IMHO scandi-ground knives are really good only on wood-processing, for any kitchen tasks a full-flat is way superior. For an affordable big camp-knife I bought a Mora/Frost 1040CP, a real fish-butcher knife with a wide belly - as it comes without a sheath, I made one from PVC-piping.

[@MB-jg4tr]

I have the bushcraft Grey in stainless. I live in a very humid area so its a good compromise from the Black in carbon. Its a great knife but the sheath sucks. Comes with a very slight hollow grind strangely.

[@thefishinglor6931]

Great knife but the scandi grind is limited to just a woods knife so I would recommend the 2000 or the fish scaling knife from Mora instead

[@Bhoff1996]

perhaps you could make an impromptu dangler sheathe by looping a carabiner through the webbing then through a belt loop. aside from that though, i agree with the sheathe assessment

[@NedKnives]

I put a scandi grind on my garberg and it rusted a bit where I took of the black coating, but it is still nice and sharp and works well

[@Oozy9Millimeetah]

You mean you got rust on the bevel 😅... lol who cares... few wipes on a fine grit stone and its gone and you'll hone the edge at the same time..

[@NedKnives]

@@Oozy9Millimeetahthanks I know what it’s called I make knives…also not worried about rust at all 😉

[@Oozy9Millimeetah]

@@NedKnives 🤓 ok... for some reason your comment just gave noob vibes 🤷🏻‍♂️.... There are some babies out there with nice knives, but zero common sense. Pardon my misunderstanding.

[@NedKnives]

⁠@@Oozy9Millimeetah​​⁠ no worries. I am a 36 year old man who has been collecting knives since I was 6 and I now I make them in Hawaii where carbon steals rust very fast. I appreciate the concern🤙🏼

[@Oozy9Millimeetah]

@@NedKnives nice, im 35 and was "caught" with a knife first time in the 1st grade of school, pulled a Vic in the class to sharpen a pencil, got my first lesson in that not all people have common sense.. and yeah carbon steels are nice in every environment, although mora gardberg in 14c28n is totally bomb proof stuff, just sharpened it absolutely straight razor level sharpness, but carbon in it's simplicity and toughness is appealing.

[@ajhoward8888]

I never bloody thought of that. This is totally the knife love child of Cody and Dave. Gross! Too long for a Mora though. I learned that from the Classic #3.

[@EvilTwinRC51]

For a few 💵 you can have a tailor sew that strap down into a belt loop.

[@_brianm]

Liked for the smile at 20:24

[@snesleywipessqueegeeservices]

So fundamentally different to a KaBar, grind, weight, blade geos, no flaky weak ass thin tang at handle, no crappy handguard that rattles. Can't see the comparison but...hey...we're all different. Would be keen to see how the sheath might be 'danglerised' with a bit of fiddling.

[@jamescrumbaker3169]

We're gonna need a bigger rubbish bin 😮

[@davidtate166]

One of the most popular knives in the world.

[@wtfmrb293]

My favorite Mora knife is the Mora Frost 106 laminated steel, sløyd kniv. Not a survival knife. But a really good bushcraft knife.

[@shawnthompson9605]

You are hilarious, keep your videos coming.😂😂😂😂

[@mountaingoattaichi]

Re: the sheath, I tied off the strap and did a paracord wrap around the whole sheath. It works great!

[@manueldelgadillo]

Have you tried wearing the sheath horizontally? You can put your belt through the loops if you have one small enough.

[@CedricAda]

all my belts are too meaty sadly. would be a heck of a look tho haha

[@manueldelgadillo]

@@CedricAda dang, I think you would have looked pretty cool. Thanks for the answer.

[@mattyscull5317]

Yes!!! Love the idea of Mora reviews. Plese compare them to the terrasaur.

[@Cid_1]

I think you would like the Lionsteel T6 as a fun larger knife. It's a great value 3V slightly overbuilt camp knife. And for its price, I don't think it got that much competition. But then again it's a very specific type of knife. But Like the TRC Apocalypse it just put a smile on your face when you use it.

[@shamitoson]

They’re about $300. That’s a whole different ballpark.

[@Cid_1]

[@wayausofbounds9255]

I have a Morakniv Allround 748 in 5.8". It's slightly smaller and 0.5mm thinner than a Pathfinder but overall very similar. It doesn't have the weight for chopping anything but twigs. These aren't bad knives but not a survival type knife.

[@MB-jg4tr]

I also have the morakniv 748MG Allround, it's a little awkward being so thin and long, and most other Mora's are better suited for woodworking. I like the full fat handle and sheath with the leather dangler like the Mora2000. I use it as a pull knife sometimes. It's a decent butchering tool and good for food prep, but other than that I think it's a little limited. Understandable why it's discontinued.

[@viaappia8825]

[@s.h.v.c2865]

Very funny video Pete, thanks for enduring injury while "bushcrafting". If you're getting a Gerberg in (and maybe other Moras), I'm curious what you think about something like the Cold Steel Peace Maker (2 or 3), Finn Bear or Candaina belt knife as competitors. I'm also curious about the Kansbol-like grind on the Peace Makers.

[@greekveteran2715]

They changed the tang design inside the handle and for some.reason,they made it way worse than it used be. They not only added so many failure points,with all these notches and corners,but they also removed a lot of steel,just to make it weaker where it already suffered.

​@@TheOneAndOnlySamenot entirely useless, just mostly useless. It's good to know what a blade can take, even though nobody but mall ninjas would do most of what he does. Sometimes he discovers build quality issues that one wouldn't otherwise know, or help you with clues about heat treatments.
