Never had a problem with my Mora 2000 and I actually like/prefer a thinner more high performance geometry but then again knowing this I use them accordingly 🤷‍♂️

[@TheKimjoh560]

We dont use it as a survival or combat knife. Its more of a utility knife. For other applications there are other knife companies comtracted like Gerber and Fällkniven. I believe some ranger regiments use the S1, pilots use the F1 etc. That thinned out grind was supposed to assist when spreading butter lol

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

hahahaha spreading butter sounds like something it'll handle! thanks for the comment legend

[@olleaberg7271]

That sounds about right. The most bushcrafty thing I did with that knife during my military training was maybe to carve on a stick when I was bored. I hated that knife with every fiber of my being because I knew what other knives they could have bought for the money.

Yep! I took out and skinned an entire 400+ pound red deer with that knife and it was still razor sharp. It’s a hunting knife primarily, and it’s listed so at Moraknivs website as well.

It works fine for fish, too.

[@jez76]

Hunting, skinning and fishing. It’s a great buddy for those activities.

[@AW-hg3pc]

yep, i got s box of em for the purpose, with how light they are i carry 2 in my pack for game processing, one hack is to grab a grinder and give 1 a very agressive clip point to get into tight spots. Is it the cheapest option for the tasks? not really, unless you drove over the border to sweden years ago and bought a box straight from the factory shop. my go to for everything else is the jääkäri puukko. Its certainly no butchering implement tho, too chunky. the classic buck bowies are still a favorite of mine but waaaaaay too expensive for a chunk of 420 steel with essentislly a plastic handle.

i can imagine it working well for skinning!

[@jujimbo]

The knife is a hunting knife not for batoning ,better till use a axe to split Wood . THE Blade profile is for skinning animals.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

That makes sense! But why would the army adopt that knife!?

[@vg-zy4rb]

​@DutchBushcraftKnives I've had several family members in the military and from what they've said the standard issue knives aren't so much for combat as for utility and things like fire making and batoning aren't often considered since making a fire would give your position away in combat I even worked with a navy vet who said he was issued a spyderco military folder when he was serving

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

@@Lurifaks707 don't curse! Joke :) I understand of course they might not use it for splitting. But a simple HD would be a better option for an all round knife for a soldier imo. Also, if you're walking many kilometers with a already heavy backpack I'd rather not take an axe if a knife and a light weight saw can take its place.

[@darrenparkes9805]

I’m Australian I bought the konsbol 3 years ago, it’s not for bushcrafting, but it’s possibly the best kitchen ,camping food preparation knife of all time, I use it everyday instead of my kitchen knives, for steak, slicing, and even cheese, I now love mine now, just not for wood , use the garberg for bushcrafting,

[@MB-jg4tr]

The Mora2000 is the BEST Camp knife I've ever found. I prefer the rounded spine, mirrored finish, and handle shape over the kansbol. It's a fine woodworking tool, just not a heavy duty one. I've used one for decades.

[@pubplays368]

I’ve been using the kansbol for a long time. The multi grind has been great. In terms of durability nothing comes close to the garberg in moras lineup. Can’t go wrong with a simple companion either for general utility tasks. The bushcraft black doesn’t get enough love imo.

[@chriskitchen4772]

I have several Kansbol knives and like the design very much. When used as designed it is a very good knife. It has a very thin, slicey blade. It should be used for butchering game, fish, and other food prep and minor fire prep. It should NOT be used for battoning and wood work.

[@longrider42]

Boy howdy you hit the nail on the head just perfect. If your going to split wood with a "Knife" use a thick one with say a 24 degree edge, so its more like an Axe.

[@drouleau]

The Kansbol carves quite well I have found, and it doesn't hurt my hand like some of my other knives do on a hard piece of wood. I have a wedge for splitting wood and a hatchet for heavier duty wood tasks, so no need to beat the crap out of my knives.

[@Waldschrat22]

This Knife IS not made for Batoning...it's just a Foodprepp or Hunting Knife....

[@1-0-8]

The Mora 2000 is a great knife . It's not an ax or for heavy duty battening . It is light and nimble and has a great handle and sheath. Horses for courses as usual. If you want a crowbar get a Gerber Strongarm or Becker BK2 upteen times the price. This knife is great value.

[@chrisloehr6641]

It exists because its a great hunting knife. Its the only Mora with a thin tip and a deep belly for skinning. It's my favorite Mora. The handle is amazing and it's great blade for food prep, feathers, and general cutting tasks. I carry it with a more robust knife or a hatchet. I mean who really just carries one knife? Sometimes it's nice have a knife that cuts really well and isn't overbuilt.

[@The4cp]

The amount of fun you two have doing this is why I keep watching.

[@craigsly9335]

The thinner blade with the rounded spine works great for processing wild game. I really like the 2000 as a budget hunting knife.

[@Snerax]

The Mora 2000 is probably the knife you'd find on most swedish hunters hips during the hunting season. If the knife is used as intended, which is carving, slicing and taking care of animals the knife holds up well for many years, nigh on 15 in my case.

[@MB-jg4tr]

20+ years on my original (first purchased) Mora2000 and it's still going strong. Know it's limits, don't abuse it, and it will last a long time. 3 deer processed, more smaller animals than I can count, plenty of light woodworking/carving. Never tried to use it like a hatchet. Lol

[@nonjaninja4904]

The Kansbol is an alright knife, mine's been fine, it's just made for more delicate stuff, not really a baton-er.

[@nevillesavage2012]

We use our Mora 2000 for food prep at the campsite. I used to bring 2 or 3 kitchen knives in a tackle box. Now just this one knife

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

I can see that work really well indeed!

[@brightargyle8950]

I got my Mora 2000 many years ago and have taken it camping, fishing, hiking and using it like a general multi purpose knife. It's a thin blade near the tip, you just treat it with care and it'll serve you well. If I wanted a beater I would opt for a thicker knife. I like the wide, thin blade! (It's also fantastically easy to sharpen!)

[@MB-jg4tr]

Yep, it's my favorite Morakniv, I've used one for decades. I have a few but my first is still going strong literally 20+ years. Best Camp/ultralight hiking knife I've ever found. Great for animals processing/food prep. Good for lighter/medium woodworking. Use within it's limits and it will last a long time.

[@daniel.rosina]

Purpose of this thin tip is slicing the groceries, vegetables, fruit.... because other Moras are good only for processing wood, not food prepping. Those other thick moras crack the food open, which is not wanted. This knife (and Kansbol) can also help in preparing food.

[@JoshShorey1982]

I always thought the outdoor and kansbol were more of a hunting/ camp knife than a survival knife?

[@cashdingo6386]

[@QuickQuips]

I got a Robust because of you guys. Glad I saved money with it rather than being tempted by this one.

[@johnnydollar007]

Sorry Guys, the blade and the grind are not made for hard use. Beat this in a knotty wood is unfair. This is an outdoor scalpel and i really like it. The sheat is also good for blowing fire if you put a finger on the second hole. BTW batoning is so overhyped. Most time you´ll find dry branches on trees even when its wet. Also you will not find perfectly sawed pieces of wood.

[@hanktheknife4352]

[@MustangCowboy.1]

This is why I only have full tang, drop point knives for outdoor/military use. They have a thicker tip and stronger overall. However, I have given Mora knives to family and friends for part of their prepper kit. I keep a Mora knife in my work bench for years now and don't worry whether it breaks or nor. Good knives for their intended purpose.

[@radarbase]

friendship on point in this one gents, love it long live the mora heavy duty

[@peijae1]

With my job in gardening and trail mitigation, the Mora Bushcraft Black has served me well in the field for years. No need for any other Mora models, this knife does it all🤙

[@Lazzoboy]

Best Mora ever. And yes..in Scandinavia we use axes..

[@LRJ88]

I'm a Swede and i got one of these years ago and i can't say that i ever warmed up to it. The tip was too bendy, the whole edge felt like it just didn't keep as well as any of their other offerings, and overall the knife felt off somehow, as if it was made improperly. After that i've found out others have had the same issues, so i guess it wasn't just me. I'd like this knife if it had a blade more similar to the Mora Pathfinder.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

definitely. the handle is very nice but the blade ruins it

[@Nebolo]

All I need is DBK to make my day! 🎉

[@TheLapierre]

I usually go for a "puukko" "leuku" combo, I usually pair this up with the Terävä 140 (for splitting wood etc) and the Kansbol for fine carving, fire and food prep Mora made the Kansbol with the intended purpose for lighter use and made the Garberg for heavy duty work. I know Swedish army uses the Mora 2000 for conscripts but they also use Fällkniven F1 for pilots and the Peltonen M95 for special forces. I love the 2000 and Kansbol for the right job and it´s really slicey in comparison to other blades but it´s not a dedicated bushcraft knife Thanks for a great video and greetings from Sweden!

[@n-signia1087]

I lost all interest in knives for about a year. I had a knife I liked to use for every different occasion, and I was okay with that. I stopped watching knife content for a while, and I eventually came back and started to enjoy watching DBK again as a comfort show. I even had my Bark River in my lap like a cat or something. Happy knife, happy life. And then these dutch bastards had to go and make an EVEN BETTER KNIFE that I now need to have! 10/10 channel, hands down my favorite enablers.

That thinned out tip was made more with food prep and carving in mind. A good use would be gutting fish or small game for example.

[@Leef3477]

I just want to say that I learned from you guys that “reverse grip push cut off the chest” (I don’t know what you’d call it exactly.) but it is probably the strongest, most powerful and most useful and unique cut I use almost daily. I use it to cut rags and zip ties and things like that with my spyderco edc knives. Thank you for the awesome tip, it has been serving me well for years, ever since I saw you guys first doing it to carve.

[@topfueljunkie100]

It's called a chest lever cut. Good stuff!

[@Heimdall_edc]

The Kansbol works great for the only task you didn't test it in your video (but you usually do in other reviews): food prep! The full flat grind make it such a better slicer than your typical Mora scandi grind on food and games. It's my favorite camping knife because i pair it with a small axe/hatchet. It can make some smaller kindlings and feathersticks but i would never baton a log bigger than 3 inch with mine for sure.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

The kansbol and the 2000 is not designed to be baton through wood, it is for hunting,slicing and carving knife tasks... When I was a young boy I was in the Boy Scouts we use a hatchet for splitting wood... and a knife for knife tasks, people would have shit a brick if they use the hunting knife to Baton through wood even today you dont use a fighting knife or hunting knife to Baton through wood it will break because it's not made to do that. While some knifes may be great at splitting wood, most of those are not good at skinning animals AS WELL AS A THINNER BLADE or slicing vegetables very well, or slicing meat for that matter. Yes they can do it, but not as good as a flat grind knife can slice, through meat and vegetables and such, they have thier place. Most survival knifes are too thick and the angle of a grind is for biting into wood, NOT to skin animals with ease, it's just a fact.

[@svenmagnus3326]

I have the HD Companion carbon steel, ground the spine and chemically treated the blade. I love it but is it the best bushcraft knife I own..? It is kinda in a tie with my Condor Terasaur. Love them both.

[@jez76]

Its a near 35 year old knife with hunting, skinning and fishing in focus. I think it was never called “outdoor” until recently for foreign markets. Here it’s just known as the “2000” and one the most popular hunting/fishing knifes ever. The army probably bought a few because it was green and cheap. This was never an army/combat knife.

[@toncek9981]

To be fair, outdoor doesn't necessarily mean batoning either. Unless you specifically say it's a survival (or maybe bushcraft) knife, there's nothing wrong with it - 9 out of 10 "outdoor people" will use that knife for food prep anyway...

[@jez76]

@@toncek9981 indeed. Until recent years watching YT videos on the subject I’d never thought of batoning with a knife.

[@toncek9981]

@jez76 Of course, most traditional knife constructions aren't even suitable for abuse like that. Like, for decades or even centuries, people were fully happy with an axe and folding knife or some fixed blade hidden tang knife like Mora or Finnish puukko knives. Only relatively recently, someone came up with the idea of knife being this indestructible sharpened crow bar that can do everything. Don't take me wrong, I think it can be fun to go camping only with a single overbuilt knife and use it for some bushcraft stuff etc., also it can genuinely be a good idea to have something like that in your backpack just in case. But nowadays people think that the batoning is supposed to be some important basic to-go test for the majority of knives, which is just ridiculous...

[@Walterliquori]

I have been using the bushcraft black for 10 years or so every time I go out . I think it is the best . In my opinion

[@DavefromWork]

Yeah, that's going to break when you baton with it, it's a utility/hunting knife. It's not "normal use" to hammer a knife with that profile guys. I have one as a cheap companion to my skrama 240. The "Improved precision" isnt for sticks, it's for undressing / disemboweling game/fish. You could try cutting leather with one and see how that performs? (might get expensive to buy leather, I don't know how sustainable that would be..) I have no clue why they would give these to their soldiers, there's way more robust knives out there. "it's green so it matches the outfit" sort of logic I guess. You did a great job stress-testing it though, good video as usual. Surprised it lasted as long as it did being honest!

[@stevetaylor9265]

The thinned out end makes it a good hunting knife in my opinion. Easy to keep sharp for tricky animals like squirrels.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

[@markrigney4372]

I've got several far more expensive knives that are great but my mora garberg carbon is still my favourite beater. I put a scandivex grind on it and it just does everything so well, holds it's edge and when it does need it, is the easiest of my knives to sharpen.

[@johnfuller6338]

[@f.a.p.8169]

I bought the 2000 a week ago, so far so good. Batoning with it, I keep it within reason, nothing too big. My Companion Heavy Duty.....well that knife works really well in batoning. For both the 2000 and Kansbol, I would say to be careful in the types and diameters of various woods.

[@StevanOutdoor]

I have a very old Mora 2000 (when they just came out) and a recent Kansbol but to me it was always clear, looking at the blade profile, they are slicers and not beaters. They are for food prep and MRE's. But I liked the video because it shows they are not for batoning so people can make a 'wise' decision. On the other hand with the Mora Basic 546 I do light batoning with no problem and they are the same steel and about as thin but just a different blade profile.

[@spirits_]

Fun fact, that sheath fit the Helle Temagami perfectly. So you can buy it as a cheap sheeth for it.

A) No Mora is Good as far as Bushcraft goes ( My Opinion ) and even less so for survival ! Excellent knives for Meat processing though .

Yeah , I own the Morakniv 2000 / the Garberg / and a few others . Again an excellent 2nd or 3rd knife . Don't think I ever went bush without a Mora . ( + 2 other knives )

[@xandlhofer8029]

My current daily carry, and for fishing trips. Also as a knife to have it in my toolbox or in my car. Light, handy and sharp. Though I wouldn't use it for heavy duty, it is a good companion for what I use it.

[@Buckturrible]

I bought mine from a local shop in Alberta several years ago, when they were close to the same price as a companion. I like it for general utility, carving and cooking. I’ve been very careful chopping and splitting with it though. Never really trusted it in that vocation.

I know for a fact that the Fällkniven F1 is issued in the air crew survival kits of the Swedish Air Force though.

[@azi6477]

As you say about batonning "it is your thing". Before I came aware of your channel I was not familiar with splitting wood with a small knife. And even till today I don't use it and still make a bush fire on regular bases. I have the same mora, it is not my favorite but the thin edge works better on preparing food than the regular scandi grind on the work knives. In the Netherlands we had a cheap version (non polished) of the victorinox, and you can't baton with that either but it is a great daily tool. For batoning I think of the Terävä Skrama.

[@heyarno]

I think I would buy the kansbol, If I didn't carry a opinel in addition to more bushcrafty knifes. The lightest combo is a opinel no6 and a companion. When backpacking I have a opinel no 10 and a mora 511. For barbeques, I pack a opinel no12 and a garberg. I consider making a sheath for a opinel 102 or 112 and use that as a ultra light all in one summer outdoor knife. Not sure if that is a good idea yet.

[@那個誰-y1j]

I have a Kansbol of Mora, with very same blade. I would say it's a good camp knife, and a slight bushcraft/hunting knife but definitely not a survival knife. You can see it has two blades. The belly part is regular for bushcraft jobs with 25 mm. The first part as the tip is with 10 mm. The first part performs well on food preparations and removing skins. In my experience, a knife with over 30mm thickness on blade could lead to a crime scene on food preparations. It's not a utility knife, because what it can do is far more than that. If you look for a survival knife, pass this knife, please. But it can help you a lot on camping.

@@maxiwildadventures i can definitely imagine that for food keep!

Thanks for this, I LOVE the Mora2000.

[@tcup3946]

Most moras, I use for light bushcraft. It's no BK2. The Garberg and Robust are probabky the tougher Moras but even still. I don't stress them like a BK2. They still carve and whittle like a dream

I'm a fan of the Mora 2000. I have other knives that can take much more of a beating, but I like the dual grind on the Mora 2000 and it weighs less. I generally use it for food, and I never baton with it.

It seems a specific tool, like you guys mentioned, for specific use cases. Like the Kansbol it seems perfect to clean fish or game. Or for some carving.

Really nice to laugh in the night, wathing you enjoying life, sweet & compfy - like the Swedes in the army have, contemplating what real battle is. Question I have to this. Would this, small and sharp, utility be better for other purpose, maybe? In the pack, the only one I like to carry as the extra in woods, mountain terrain, and small bushes. Otherwise there are other free options, for army men to have on desired style, steel, size, and price. I should have wathe till the end, before my first comments.😅

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

no worries :D

[@noyzmunky]

Kansbol is food prep only for me.

Now its been quite a long time since I was in the army but we were not issued Mora 2000, we were issued a more basic model like the "craftline", I know some guys went and bought 2000s for their own money though. As far as I recall I don't think any one had any issues with their 2000s breaking despite the absolutely rediculous amount of batoning we did.

the thin tip must be for carrots. Carrots are a common food cut while outdoor cooking, they are so easy to have around, everyone loves them, but they are hard to cut with a pocket knife because they are stiff. The sharpest edge anywhere will still require the user to push on the carrot. This is not good, because no one usually has a cutting board. Instead, they have a plate, which is either paper or ceramic or metal , but never cutting-board wood. If you cut carrots on a plate with a very sharp pocket knife, with a thick blade, the carrot will give resistance, and the knife will suddenly pop the carrot and slam into the plate. This will cut through paper, and dull the blade on ceramic and metal. A thinner knife will not get as much resistance from a carrot. (( do a test!! Take someone like your parents or other person who is not an active knife enthusiast, and won't go out of their way to protect the edge. Get them to cut carrots, but without a cutting board, only a ceramic plate, and your pocket knife. 100% of the time they will decide to ruin the edge on the ceramic plate ... ))

Boiling pine needles makes turpentine. Use like a tea bag. Pour water over needles. 😊

Kansbol fail cracked me up.

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

The Mora Companion Heavy Duty is probably more knife than most people will every need. I like the Kansbol for light tasks around the yard, but if I were going to abuse it like in this video I'd use a thicker knife and/or use a carbon steel version.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day guys, dual grind, especially one being quite so thin, is fraught with danger on big boys tasks IMO. But hey I reckon in fairness, the strategy by Mora to offer more versatility than simply the ol' scandi across the board, (including the stumpy little Eldris btw), is worthy in some respects. Mind you, having said that, car camping, picnicking, and/or low budget options only I reckon. Its been said many many times before, and I'll say it again; go out in the sticks, take blades and other tools that are just about bomb proof. Yes more expensive than Moras and such, though plenty of great options without having your bank account hemorrhaging to death. Cheers Duke.

[@charlybrown6884]

Thank you guys, this is the real thing

[@jasonbruchmiller4580]

I recently added a Kansbol to my collection just to realize my Eldris does the compound grind so much better. Really I just wanted to complete the matching handle set of those with the Garberg.
