I've been wanting Mora to do a flat grind for a while, to the point where I'm very excited to see Victorinox do a "Flat Grind Garberg" the Kansbol, while only half a flat grind, is still much cheaper than the Garberg or the new Victorinox, and I'd argue just as good.

Those 3 knives sound like a perfect way to experience all that mora has to offer. I'm glad you included the Classic in there, it seems great to have a more traditional Puuka, while still not costing a ton to replace if they do break. Plus the smooth handles sometimes actually are much easier on the hand when doing a lot of hard work. The grippy handles can actually start to blister you when using them for a long time. Companion is just classic, comfy, really useful sheath with the clip and cheap. Kansbol is amazing for a do it all. I pretty sure it's the same size and handle as the Garberg but with added rubber grip, so I really don't see the need to ever get a Garberg.

BTW: I have the Bushcraft Orange (stainless steel) because I live near salt water. Another great thing about it is I can use the sheath for emergency signalling because anyone can see it from a mile away -- it is so bright. Visually, it is the exact opposite of the Bushcraft Black.

The reason tangs protrude around the edges on most production, machine made knives is because of the tolerances and fixture types. In handmade or hand finished knives that are glued it's easy to give them a flush finish. This is much much harder on a bolted on handle where even a tiny over or undershoot will easily be felt (hands are super sensitive to it).
@s.h.v.c2865 Жыл бұрын
For wood handled machetes such as Tramontinas, they leave the wood proud of the tang which I think is a better option, at least then you can put some time in yourself with a file or and make it nice and flush (and round the blocky handle while you're at it). Keeps the price down but still leaves material to shape how you want.

It's all personal of course but it's a good presentation of some models. I don't like the 'spark' models because a replacement firesteel is small, has to be Mora and is expensive.

Mora's are the knives the knife guys use when they don't want to ruin their nicer one. True workhorses. Comfy grips, strong enough, cheap enough. Companion is the best for me, basic stainless for tossing in random bags and stuff. The classic is a future desire, perhaps. I like classy old knives, like opinel and buck. Comfier handles on the old style ones as well, though mora didn't lose that yet.

I've struggled a little bit to sharpen the Kansbol in the field because it is not a true scandi grind. Yes I can still do it, but the grind angle isn't as precise as my sharpeners at home. Also, the very thin tip makes me just a wee bit more hesitant and less confident to really work the blade compared to the Companion HD where you know you can throw the kitchen sink at it and it won't snap, so I ended up tossing the HD in my outdoor kit more often than the Kansbol. As for the Eldris, I love it as a secondary slicey blade for all kinds of cutting jobs that don't require beefier knifes. Even food prep was easy with it despite the short blade length.
@daveyboy6985Ай бұрын
The secondary bevel stays exactly the same angle the whole length of the blade, So if you hold it bang on the same angle, on the flat of the bevel when your sharpening, you should be ok.

I bought one of the Kansbol's and I LOVE the knife...but I hate the sheath. I always carry a fixed blade with me all the time...and when I got this I switched to it and nearly lost it 3 times in 2 days. The actual belt loop isn't solidly attached to the sheath but another band that the sheath hangs within. But once you sit down a couple of times or get in and out of your truck, that puppy will just pop out and all you have left is the belt loop. It also pokes out at an odd angle catching on every single bush, wall, door, chair or other random object that get's within 5 inches from your hip. I ended up lashing the loop down onto the sheath to stop it from popping out or sticking out so much...but it's still more bulky than my old gerber and will probably end up being a "camp knife" rather than something I carry.

I understand what you mean and I would never pay more than 80 euros for it (assuming they are still made with 14C28N)... However, people just think it's expensive because it is made by Morakniv. Had it been made by a more premium brand nobody would bat an eye. All things considered I think it got a bit of a bad reputation because until that point people had certain brand expectations. What I think Morakniv intended with the new Ash Wood line of knives was to reset those expectations. Maybe I'm wrong and they are simply unrealistic money-grabbers, or maybe they actually puled a brilliant stunt...

You should try the Mora "Light my fire" is a kind of a mash up between the Kansbol and the Spark. It has a firesteel and the tip of the blade is thiner as on the Kansbol. I have mine for years and since bought a lot of better knives, but It's still by far, the one I carry around the most.

A Mora that is one of my favorites is the Classic #3 and I agree with you about the Bushcraft Black. Just a nice knife all around.

Great comparison video. My first mora was companion HD- enough for most outdoor use. Other two - 2000 with wooden handle and classic with the finger guard. Favourite probably the 2000 as homemade beech handle makes a personal fit.

hey mate, thank you for bringing up so many Moras, my favorite ones are the Companion heavy duty,510, and the Flex, each serve its own purpose very well. In Sweeden they take seriously how to reduce carbon footprint. Every Mora knife is made from recycled steel, which is more environmentally friendly compared to newly mined steel, so many knife lover gets the recycled steel description wrong, they are far from being inferior, and better in every way for the planet.

You're missing the best mora; the mora 2000!!!! It's in every hunters belt in Sweden. (it's nothing special really, it's like a kansbol but a more polish finish to the blade). Love your videos, keep it up

I only have 2 Mora's. 1 stainless companion and 1 carbon companion HD. Stainless companion was to see if I'd like it I did. Then I added the carbon companion HD for harder task. Unfortunately the Companion HD is more than enough for most task so other than collecting it's harder for me to justify buying more. They cheaper but where would I keep them all. I already keep the stainless companion by my bed. Usually I have the companion HD hanging ready for work.

I didn't see the Gerber Strong Arm. Super tough knife for under $100 . Popular knife among our military. Many send home to get one instead of the standard issue knife.

The companion spark is the only Mora I own and I am very impressed with it... glad its your top pick

Heyyy...! Ive got the Spark. It's my first, and thus far only Mora. I have no trouble with the handle wiggling loose for those wondering 👍

I bought the kansbol pretty cheap, as a knife I can use around the house because I don't wanna kill some of my more expensive knifes on house task's, I love that blade shape, crazy grind, I give it a strop it's back amazingly sharp.

The only reason I’m not interested in the kansbol/garberg or similar nicer moras is because I hate the sheaths with belt loops. I almost always hike/hunt in basketball shorts/ sweats/joggers etc. and I don’t wear a belt so when I found the mora companion and how it could just clip in over the top of my shorts, I fell in love. Especially when they go on sale and I can grab them for $10

I agree, but I love my mora flex they discontinued. It’s the best do all slicing knife I find myself using over more expensive knives.

Been wanting to try that as a flat grind Mora... probably be a decent kitchen knife even, especially if you smoothed the front guard a bit to be able to cut on a board

Watch & enjoy all your videos ! Come on Pete, "not good at bushcraft" you said in your recent video. That feathersticking & ferro rod fire starting was on point ! But please stay a Aussie gentleman farmer, dog parent, comedy channel with some knife & edge testing channel. We got plenty of bushcrafty channels on the tub.

Commenting on the Mora Eldris. First, save your money and get a normal mora and abuse it. Some day, maybe youll get luck enough to actually break your Mora, then you can just sharpen and grind the blade shape into a neck knife size. As for the sheath, cut the bottom, heat it up and pinch the bottom so it comes together. Low effort, you have basiclsly the same knife, but you got a ton of use out of it before hand and its cheaper. Advice, get a Mora Pro, as the blade is a bit taller and will work better as a homemade Eldris

Thanks for the rundown. The Kansbol looks great but are uou not worried bc it is not a full tang? No durability issues to date? I love its profile but worry about the tang snd handle split…

If you get two Mora Eldris, you can use them as corn on the cob holders. With such large handles, it helps if you have arthritis. The Companion 125th Anniversary model has a 90' spine. For me, the Companion is more comfortable handle than the Companion HD. The pregnant belly feels uncomfortable to me. For me, the Bushcraft causes an uncomfortable pressure point between my index and middle fingers. If some material was removed from the finger choil swell -- so it was more tapered -- I think it would be more comfortable.

I have only one Mora, a carbon companion. Regular thickness. I have tons of high end knives of various kinds and the Mora is a fantastic knife for the AU$22 I paid for it. I like them so much and trust them enough that I plan to buy some more to give to family.

I've only had companions and basics, and I love them. I'd say it's kinda the sweet spot for value. Great video topic and keep on keeping on. P.S. my top 3 general camp utility and wood processing fixed blades are the LT Wright Genesis in A2, the Bark River Bravo in Elmax, and the White River Hunter in s35vn. Honorable mention is the Spyderco Waterway in LC200N

If you ever feel like expanding your Mora collection, please have a serious think about 746 model. The stainless blade is their standard drop point, scandi grind, but the handle is by far the best of all Mora models. This is of course my very subjective opinion, however at the price point of £15 it can easily become a most favourite, disposable, versatile workhorse.
