KNIFE QUEST: Top 10 Best MORA Knives for Survival / Bushcraft / Camping / Hunting

[@Eurotrash4367]

3:34 - The "MG" stands for Military Green and refers to the color in the Companion line. The thicker blade is dsignated by "HD" which means Heavy Duty.

[@peterfox6159]

These two are dumb as a mule!

[@henrycruz45cal]

Yea, they are clueless

[@crosshair64]

I own a half dozen Mora knives, and dozens of knives more than a couple hundred dollars, and I have no complaints when it comes to my mora's. I have batoned a truck load of wood with my companion, with no problems whatsoever.... Bushcraft black, Mora heavy duty, and Robust just to name a few, and they all kick a$$...... I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions on these awesome blades, I appreciate it gentlemen. God bless you and your families.

[@tom_olofsson]

Just watched the Mora rep show how the Eldris sheath goes on the handle to lengthen it just like the cap on a pen.

Good to know: The belt loop of the 511 isn't just a belt loop. It's also a "button loop". Slide it over a large button on your Blåkläder work clothes and it will sit nicely there. Super common here in Sweden. It's interesting, but I've never seen the Mora knives as survival knives or bushcraft knives. To me (and I would guess most other swedes) they're just your everyday workhorse; to some extent probably because of the price. I've seen classic Mora knives looking like the small carver, but that have actually been ground down due to usage over the years. My favourites would probably be the large classic and the normal classic with a guard (basically a normal-sized Scout). Really fun to see Mora knives feature so prominently in bug-out and survival videos and really really fun to see an entire video about them.

[@Frendh]

Yeah, the basic variants of Mora and Hultafors are often used by construction workers etc in sweden. They are considered highly disposable. Never heard of a worker who sharpens their knives (There might be lots of people who do, just that I do not hear about it in sales). They just buy new ones.

[@zach4007]

As a Mora customer/user, I would definitely recommend a Mora Robust to anyone looking for a small budget friendly fixed blade for even just all around use. This was my EDC knife for a bit, really the only complaint I had about the Robust is that the sheath clip may open up overtime, I don’t like that much. Other than that, awesome knife!

[@astrazenica7783]

511 is one of the best knives in the world. Nothing beats it in value for money

[@adityakale6064]

Thanks for not boaring and not overreacting videos.

[@Bodinepicksz]

I just discovered this brand...wow..price is perfect for newbies. My expensive knives are now put away. Thank you.

[@joashloh8374]

I got a mora when I was seven and 20 years later I am still using one

[@darthblade2016]

Moras are so good for emergency kits and just having fun around the campsite. Cool video!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Darth Croll Indeed!!!

[@ermay3031]

Great knife it's like the Honda of knifes cheap and will last forever.

[@altvibr]

I want to see the toyota of knives xD

[@ermay3031]

Vaint that will be a gerber

[@brianschlosser6009]

I had a Mora scout when I started hunting in the 80s and lost it. Damn I miss that knife! Great knife dressed my first buck with it.

[@christianayers2660]

I have found the Eldris to be a perfect kayak knife!! Great for cutting paracord and fishing lines not to mention stainless!! I use an s-biner thru the drainage hole and attach right to my pfd!!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+The Foggy Fox Excellent use! Cool knife.

[@jondaman2034]

I bought a mora basic 511 and I love it. Probably will be buying like 6 more lol.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Yea Boy... Basic 511 ends up in all my kits...

[@prepared2thrive101]

Mine too.

[@jelaienfinue]

I'm about to buy my first camping/survival knife and I've been looking at TONS of knives for the past weeks. Moras are without a doubt some of the best blades one can get simply because they are workhorses that will last for YEARS and they are very, very reasonably priced. Just because of the great deal they are some of the best knives ever. I'm thinking about buying the Bushcraft Black and the Robust. I can't just buy one haha.

[@19TE72]

Never seen the mora scout??? Just kidding. I'm Swedish and that one was pretty much everyone's first knife. I got mine when I was six. 40 years ago now. :) A great little knife. Thanks for the video..

[@preparedmind101]

I don't want to be "that guy", but no Kansbol?? That would be #1 on my list. I need a new one.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Hey Chris... I hate that knife! No, not really, it's just not my gig. I'm heavily favoring the Robust these days... neither Joe or I can seem to hang onto one... keep giving them away. If you would come to SHOT Show... then we could finally do some videos together - and you and I could argue about our favorite knives... Maybe at the Mora Booth. Who else wants to see Chris and I do some VIDs together at SHOT Show? : )

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

Ultimate Survival Tips I do!!!!

[@preparedmind101]

Ultimate Survival Tips I have the credentials, just need to figure out money/sponsor.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

How can guys donate to the cause so you can go and we can shoot vids? If like 2,000 people give you a dollar you could go... Right. Do you have a donation link or something? Maybe Mora would sponsor you : )

[@KaylynnStrain]

I have the Kansbol and I like it

[@Sentientcap]

The Mora Classic scout... I have had the Classice scout for 12 years and knew noting about it. I got it from my father who's had it for much much longer.

[@BiffWaltman]

I bought Mora Garberg in leather sheath on Amazon for $55 before Xmas 2018 (for myself). My second Garberg and 4th Mora.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Dave, I always heard the Mora 510 was a good one. But by the time I wanted to buy one, it was discontinued. But I got the new version anyhow, which became one of my Fav's neck knives especially with my Modde Rodent 6 which looks like a Ratmandu on steroids. Years ago, I bought on closeout a Frost Mora 840 Clipper, I didn't use it that much because it wasn't a full tang. But when I did use it, it performed great. So when Mora came out with the Mora 2000 and Hatchet Combo, I got the O. D. Green version for just a little more, It became one of my Fav's Afternoon Delight Combo's, then I put my Classic #1 on my Bokor Rold Sheath after I ended putting a Nylon Belt Loop on it. Then I found out that Mora had a beautiful hand made line so I got the Forest Exclusive # 277 it's now one of my Fav's neck knives, then to color match my knives, I got (2) Eldris in black and green, and permimently put my Kansbol on my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife. I love that Combo. I also got the Garberg which I like teaming with my Bokor Aparro Survival Knife. I really like my Mora Stable. Also I would like to Wish You a : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zoa5hopnZqt4hNU Thanx You for all the years I've been watching your channel, Dilly, Dilly.,,.p

[@paulmphoto]

The flex is so good for scraping caulk, stickers and stuff off flat surfaces!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Live Free Or Die Yes! Excellent!

[@papatorr3669]

Love Moras and their Scandi competitor. The Eldris is for the person that has every knife he needs, but wants to spend some mora money!

[@rogereriksen726]

Now you get the 511 for $ 5.93 (here in Norway). I'm going down to the local store to get it tomorrow. I don''t know what color is going to meet me, but I grab one even if it is pink. From the reviews here on the KZbin, it is a great knife for the money. I will use it for bush craft. From before I got a Brusletto Hunter knife (a Norwegian made knife who is best/better for food processing), and a Øyo viking axe replica. Together I think they will make a great combination for my forest trips.

[@PerryChristensen]

Great video, I appreciate your explanation of the subtle difference between the different Moras. We are giving our grandson his first real knife this Christmas a Mora Companion in the sandvik stainless .

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Perry Christensen That’s so cool! He is going to love that knife!

[@PerryChristensen]

He already does; he loves mine and uses it every time we go camping.

[@ozzmann3217]

Man the Moras are absolutely my favorite hands down knife company I have bench made for my folders and spider co but truly for bushcraft and survival these knives are just unbeatable I do have the full tang Garberg as well and love it as well so a little bit of everything in the mora line.. we all know the sheaths are awful but they do work

[@drnh4444]

I'm only just getting an interest in bushcraft. I wish I lived near you guys to learn from you. I love this stuff

[@snowxyy]

Here in sweden everyone owns atleast 2 mora knives! It’s a basic tool every swede have in their house, and in sweden their really cheap! You can buy mora basic in just about any work / wood / metal store for about 3-4 bucks. My favorite is the bushcraft black survival!

[@appalachianoutdoorsman5721]

I have the bushcraft black as well and trust my life to it. I also have the companion mg in stainless steel. The bushcraft is my survival/ bushcraft knife (obviously) and my companion is my camp knife for skinning animals and fish and cutting up food and stuff.

[@davidtate166]

Yes sir i got a few of then .some best knives in the world.for the cost .long live mora knives.love them.

[@retical6479]

Love the companion used it in many trips and it never broke👍

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Retical 6 Very nice!

[@noemiyesfir4177]

Watch Amazon for the deals, I bought 2 Mora companion stainless OD for 8.50 each delivered. If I had given 30 seconds more thought, I would have bought half a dozen.

[@KaylynnStrain]

my Mora Kansbol has the multi-mount sheath, I paid around $40 for it, the other Mora I have is the 511 Basic with the plastic handle, I like the grip of the Kansbol, wish the 511 had that handle style

[@laka0013]

I'm giving Mora knives away as xmas gifts this year. This video was truly helpful! Thanks!

[@AG_Marine_Shooter]

For mora Eldris , you can use the plastic sheat to extend the handle , by putting the knife at opposite direction. 👍

[@preppenensurvivalmetmarcel8794]

I have a Mora garberg an it's perfect for bushcraft and survival :d Greetings Marcel

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Preppen en survival met Marcel in Nederland That’s awesome Marcel! It’s an excellent knife for around $80 US!

[@ncode03]

This is old video but I just got my first Mora knife and it was the companion stainless steel. Didn't know it was the highest in ratings because I just went with the most practical for me.

[@sifusasdo2314]

Cool Video 👍 Thank U for the Info and the Links 👍

[@prepared2thrive101]

Moras are like tattoos...you can't have just one

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Made me laugh... Thanks

[@prepared2thrive101]

Haha. Made me laugh too. Lol. Love your channel.

[@sosteve9113]

Well said

[@sosteve9113]

Lol very true,

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

totally agree, such a high value low cost item I just saved a little money each month and have a stockpile of ten of the companion knives to see me to the end.

[@spacecowboy7772]

David. Thanks! Can't wait for the Cadillac.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Spacecowboy 777 Ohhhh... ahhh...

[@CrustyMac300]

Love my Mora Companions and Garberg!

[@jfilm7466]

The Hultafors brand is also great. The Heavy Duty one is a tank.

[@deadWu]

I agree with you. I think that event the craft line is a good competitor for Mora.

[@davidelromh4218]

David your videos are amazing I'm a HUGE fan. But can you please make a video about the Schrade Schf36.

[@JerJauvin]

The best mora to me is a classic with a custom handle. Great video as usual David!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Northern Canadian Excellent. Glad you liked the vid!

[@themontgomeryinstituteofhi232]

I own the Mora (Light my fire) knife and its a thing of beauty

[@barrybueler3356]

I own 3 moras luv them all but the garberg is definitely the king of moras even with the $80 price tag.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Barry Bueler More Moras :)

[@NOIS_inks]

The kansbol guys come on its the best for price point and functionality

[@jackg.7745]

Great video. I like seeing so many Moras together for a side by side comparison. I have a few different models and feel they’re all the best knives for the money than anything else out there. Thanks for sharing.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Jack G. Thanks Jack. Yes... side by side helped us too... you can start to wonder... what’s the difference, but when you talk a look at them this way it all makes sense. Later bro! -David

[@StevanOutdoor]

I would disagree or at least throw in a good competitor with Hultafors knives. Cheaper and stronger.

[@miky9757]

i have the robust and the tactical black and i love them

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+miky9757 Yes Sir! What’s not to love right? Especially for the price. Still don’t know how they do it???

[@luisloya1120]

Basic 511, Robust , Garberg

[@boknows7319]

Love this comparison video featuring Mora ! Could you maybe do one featuring SAK? Great Video As Always!

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Thanks bro. Glad you like it.

[@stormyeffects4795]

My mom went on vacation for a while (I think it was for work), we ran out of clean dishes so I just carved my own fork and spoon using my Robust

[@stormyeffects4795]

the missing link - No, we are too lazy and depend upon my amazing mother

[@AN-om1qc]

Those guys are professional!

[@javierr.g6380]

Hello good, a question. When sharpening the Garberg you do it according to the scandi angle or you do it by the microbevel that comes from the factory. Thank you!!

[@alexandercarder2281]

Awesome reviews

[@luisloya1120]

Awesome video!!!!!

[@charlescollier7217]

Good video. A few additions, perhaps? Mora 546 - the stainless equivalent of the 511 - is a fantastic do-it-all basic fixed blade, similar price, and even lower maintenance. Related to those, the Pro-S (stainless) and Pro-C (carbon) are about $12 and solve the handle slickness problem of the 511/546 with a partial overmold. They also have the same blade shape/belly as the new Robust. Up a bit in price, the Kansbol or its predecessor the Mora 2000 are very functional and may be THE most ergonomic Moras.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Charles Collier Excellent comment and additions! Thanks! -David

[@BL00DSETTAKINOVA]

People say the Mora Garberg's handle is slippery when wet or bloody, but trust me! if anyone of you have tried it in those conditions you would notice that it is not slippery at all and holds very well in hand! + If you used the Mora Garberg as much as i do, then the soft rubber grip would be all worn out to the point of non existence. The Garberg is really perfect for heavy and hard use

[@markj7579]

Thanks you guys.

[@kan-zee]

I wish you put up the year of each mora knife's release....or is the showing of the knives , in release order? 💪 😀 👍

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Kanzee Hmmm... good thought... next time around I will consider that...

[@chelo2046]

great video love that you showed the amazon price on all of them

[@SuperIain13]

Awsome video! Who doesn't own at least 1 mora? Exceptional knife at a Awsome price for beginners as well as experienced outdoorsmen, as always I enjoyed your video, and thank you for your service it was one of the reasons I first subd to you a couple years back. I think your professional and entertaining and insightful, and give an honest opinion of a true woodsman and adventurer. Keep it up!!

[@red-vf6oh]

As I'm sitting here typing this right now at my camp site. I bought a couple of Mora's because I've watched a lot of videos on them their price point their strength and toughness I've seen all over incredible little blades. I bought a robust and the Mora black they come in about a week ago I didn't have time to open them up until today. I like to keep 3 fixed blade on me and one folder at least and I want to be in love with these knives like everybody else. And I'm hoping what I just saw on my Mora robust is a fluke as I'm looking at it there is a crack down the spine from the tip of the knife all the way back to the handle. I can stick my finger nail in it and almost pull it apart maybe it didn't get heat-treated I'm an optimist and I'm hoping it's only a fluke. I'm going to send it back and get another one but for now I'm going to use my black it looks good so far

[@wilstandridge7388]

Great little knives, Good Show.👍

[@munchh2007]

What about the 711 Bushcraft/Allaround depending where you buy it?

[@tubezv]

I have a question, I must choose with 3 knives for bushcrafting, there are 1. Mora Garberg; 2. Real steel Bushcrafter Plus survival; 3. Ka-Bar BK16. which you prefer for bushcraft an also universal works? thansk.

[@helamcasey7828]

Shucks you guys should have added the morakniv kansbol as well. In my opinion the best mora. Nice video

[@keithwaite5026]

Thanks David, great video, bought my first mora this year ,love it.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Keith Waite Nice Keith!

[@TheHorendus]

I Love Mora, great Knife

[@adamplumpton4440]

Kansbol hands down is the best mora.

[@Landrew0]

More more more Mora!

[@rrertffgggujgr2380]

In Sweden we can buy a Mora for 10 kr which is about 1 dollar

[@trinkladd]

And in America, we can buy a Sweden for 100us dollars.

[@pontussvensson4465]

Dom är jätte billiga

[@possumboygaming462]

hey ultimate survival tips i have been watching you for about 2 years now but the only thing that i have that may help me is a "waterproof" gerber survival kit that you did a review on a while ago

[@binky777]

The mora chisel should be topboy. Its awesome for pryeing.

[@jerrybobteasdale]

I've got 4 mora's. I really like them, especially for carpentry utility. Am pretty sure my fave is a discontinued model, that might be disappearing from the market,.

[@irishbastard2815]

i love moras 511 has been with me many years

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

Hello Mr David, Gotta love these moras! My Schrade schf42 is doing just fine for me though, got some micarte scales for it because I like it so much.😀thanks😉👍

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Hey AK BK - Great to hear from you! Nice on the SCHF42. Any new YT vids lately?

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

Ultimate Survival Tips yep! Couple weeks ago I posted a vid on a necker, hoping to post another at the start of January and another at the end of February and so on!

[@patriceb26]

Bonjour So which one is the best ?

[@dennishein2812]

Never tried a mora. I’ve always preferred full tangs in my fixed blades. I never had a hidden tang itself fail me but the handles didn’t hold up. I guess I’m gonna have to get a mora. I think I’d rather try a thicker bladed one.

[@borjesvensson8661]

Just get a standard one if you dont plan to use it as a prybar.

[@krispybeats6615]

i got the companion heavy duty carbon version. its a great deal for 20 eur that i paid for it.

[@JJan50]

A survival knife should do the following, have a full tang, hold an edge and most important used as a steel for flint and steel which most won't do as they are made of stainless steel

[@appalachianoutdoorsman5721]

Full tang is complete bs, ive seen moraknivs baton 6+ inch diameter logs and not break. I definitely trust my life to my more bushcraft black. Also Moras hold their edge very well, as well as resharpen eaisly.

[@blakedavis2447]

The fact that moras are as good as they are and they aren’t full tang is a testament to the quality

[@davidrogers182]

Excellent Review

[@Diabolus1978]

Take the eldris sheet and put the knife upside down Into it for extending the handle

[@lorenamorales3579]

awesome video

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Yeah I pass on the Overpricedberg and the Elfdris but love most of the others. Stainless Companion is my favorite.

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

Excellent!

[@barrybueler3356]

Overpriced my ass take the moras name off and switch it with benchmade and it would sell between $150/$200 but some people are cheaper than others and I get that.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Barry Bueler Benchmade overpriced also. 14c28n is a good steel but still economy. Plastic handle and mildly upgraded sheath. It's overpriced a bit. If you like and enjoy it that's cool... some knives just do it for us. I understand that. I'm not cheap just like to get some real upgrades for my money. Good luck with yours!

[@seanb6986]

The Garberg is knives down the best knife for the price. The 3 mm Scandinavia grind is sharp as hell, and maintaining it is a breeze!

[@barrybueler3356]

SeanBenn 54 I own the garberg it’s fantastic it will perform as well as any knife the same size and grind for $80 if that’s a rip off then all knife fans should go get ripped off u won’t regret it unless u just like to bitch about everything if that’s the case buy and bitch about whatever u want not u Sean butt all the cheap whiners

[@ivancsontos7011]

What do you think of a martiini hunting knife? I quite like the design and im not sure whether it would be good as a multipurpose knife like a mora.

[@TheTrailDancer]

Hi guys, I have a question: I want to get my GF her first bushcraft/backpacking knife and am torn. I don't need to get her a Benchmade and was thinking of a Mora, but which one? Mainly for fire duties, feathering, batoning, utility, safety... etc. I would like to stay under $100... Thoughts? Anyone else here... thoughts?

[@Shihabdeenrecreationalcyclist]

Hi what about Mora companion stainless steel

[@Prodigalson0078]

Thanks for the content David! Good videos

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Joseph Nixon Thanks Joseph! Glad you enjoyed! -D

[@Prodigalson0078]

Ultimate Survival Tips you got it brother!

[@Athreehourtour]

Dang you Dave and Mora!! ;) time to add to my collection

[@Sleeper519]

Guys, the "MG" is not a blade steel variation, it is a color scheme (Military Green).

[@jenshiller4058]

I can buy the 511 carbon for about 4 dollars here in Sweden 👍🏻

[@waldgeist9007]

About the Companion series ... MG means the color (military green), not the model. The Companion with the thicker blade is called the Companion Heavy Duty. It is available in green (aka MG) and bright orange. The Companion series is also the only series which uses a different blade thickness for the stainless steel ones (carbon = 2.0mm, stainless steel = 2.5mm, heavy duty = 3.2mm). The stainless steel ones have a thicker blade to compensate for the reduced toughness (vs. impact and bending) compared to the high carbon blade. That way both models can handle about the same ammount of abuse. The Pro Robust is also not really a beefed up Pro 511. It is a beefed up Pro C. Same blade shape (higher blade, more pronounced belly), same rubberized Grip as the Pro C and Pro S. The Pro 511 has the same handle shape, but the blade shape is different and follows the tradition of the classic moras (Basic 511, Companion etc.).

[@logannicol4750]

The sheath on the mora Eldris fits on the back of the knife extending the handle size.

[@shaynejenkins446]

Did you guys do shots before this?

[@dsapasd]

Where's the 2000 stainless? Tried a bunch of different ones, but that one ticks all boxes, including skinning wildgame. No 90 angle but that is also a ticked box for me since it makes for much better thumb handling (and if you need rely on that for fire, then you have a more fundamental gear problem). By far the allround knife of choice for most when I was in the marines too. Can't beat that grip, and a polished blade is best when you want to clean it.

[@Neto.goes1]

Sou fã das facas mora , top

[@JamesDC42]

So the companion HD is the almost perfect knife. If the blade was an inch longer it would be perfect. Buttoning would be so easy.

[@craigmooring2091]

Mora s, it seems can be addictive. The Pathfinder did not make the cut?

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+Craig Mooring Yes... Mora Knife addiction is becoming a world wide issue... :)

[@weedXD38]

HELLO I currently own 2 mora's n for my needs works well , No it's not a high end but for the Price can't beat, thanks for SHARING!!! As always!!! :-) :-)

[@UltimateSurvivalTips]

+weedXD38 Thanks man. Best cutting tools for the price!!! Agreed!

[@pundits8690]

HELLO i currently live in mora and I want to leave

[@n9oqu]

i would like the Eldris to keep with my bio-fuel backpacking camp stove. The blade is similar to the one on the Kansbol with the thinner front blade. It is Ideal for feathering sticks and hopefull small enough to store in my pot with my stove.

[@davidtate166]

I wish they make a heavy duty stanless 90degspine. Mora ??
