Gotta love all the internet survivalists. "If I can't filet a Sherman Tank with it, it's useless." "If I can't split logs with it then I'm sticking with my BK2." Lets just be honest here for a second and remember that like 98% of people buying a knife aren't building shelters with it, they aren't surviving long periods of time with it, they aren't taking down commando attack squads with it... they're cutting up some fucking hot dogs, nipping some cordage, opening food packaging, whittling food skewers or tent stakes, and maybe splitting up little bits of kindling. The last time I went backpacking I was out for 3 nights and forgot my fixed blade. In all honesty, I got along absolutely fine with just my GEC pocket knife. I love a killer blade as much as the next guy and I love using my knives for big tasks or long carving sessions or building things but if we cut the internet warrior bullshit I think we'd all realize the vast majority of consumers really don't NEED more than what the Eldris can do. For what you get, the Eldris is another perfect archetype basic-use knife that is both affordable and of good quality. Fit for a multitude of general tasks and perfect for a wide array of users. Edit: The other great thing about this knife is the weatherproofness. This is a great little knife to throw in your pack on a canoeing trip as you don't have to worry about rust or fucking up a wood handle or leather sheath.

[@preparedmind101]

+no name Are you referring to us or the comments on the video? I'm confused.

[@knownaigm]

+preparedmind101 , I was referring to the comments. Sorry didn't make that clear at all. I think you guys covered the knife very objectively and actually understood the product and its intended use. Also, replying like this because it wouldn't let me directly reply to your reply.

[@ninabittrolff]

no name. Like what you said and I agree.

[@Jared_304]

I passed this knife by for a long time. And man do I regret it. Finally got one and it's a great edc utility blade. Also good for small camp tasks and skinning squirrel and rabbits!

[@ryanhull1381]

It will skin a deer, as well. I was hunting with my cousin and he got a deer and was starting to skin it, but his blade was getting dull. I had my Eldris with me and decided to try it out. It works great, even on larger game. I can't believe all the haters talking trash about this knife. It's well worth the $25 I paid for it.

[@Jared_304]

@@ryanhull1381 good stuff

[@bobwampler3387]

I like this blade for edc use. Instead of using it as a neck knife, I've been putting in my pocket instead of a folder. It can take more abuse than most folders, is very sharp, and easy to use. So far, it does well in the edc role.

[@jrladislao]

I put a carabiner on it and hook it to my belt loop. I carry it everyday and always comes in handy

[@ellastar7422]

I am from sweden. Did you know that "eldris" means tinder?

Nåja , det är en ort i Dalarna.

[@Mrplacedcookie]

Mora knows knifes ,can't deny that. Sometimes not the prettiest knife out there. But as for a tool and in use they shines.

[@ksstg581]

takes a smart man to surround himself with persons who may be more accomplished in a particular discipline or who may be able to more effectively demonstrate a particular skill for the 'tubers... nicely done Chris...class act all around!

[@mattis1600]

It´s a Scandinavian knife. All knives from scandinavia are great and that is the reason we have been using them forever. It´s nice that you americans finally got it.

[@tommythompson3119]

Mora sells an EDC fixed blade that can be carried multiple ways and that the sheath can be used to make the handle full size. Great!! I have one.

[@calvinlewis8924]

Some people make disagree because they think that you have to spend big money on a quality knife. The fact is Mora knocked it out of the park with the Garberg, the Kansbol and the Eldris . Value for the money can’t be beat.

[@lordrichard8184]

I was gonna get this knife then realized I could get like 3 511s for the same price. So that’s what I did. I love the 511s

[@gco40gray82]

Great knife. I own 1 now, great carving knife. Wish the blade was about half inch longer and and handle about half inch longer as well.

[@vincentc6919]

Great tool for EDC or Fire Kit...Mora makes the best knives out there...great video

[@lorns123]

I love little knives like this...it is like a little Finnish puukko. Very tough and good for carving and small scale tasks. Easy to resharpen too

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

This review meant a lot . Just now got 2 Eldris . One for the fishing vest and one for scuba gear . Thanks again .

[@julianjohnson7908]

I apologise for the late reply, how has the eldris held up as a scuba diving knife? Considering purchasing it as an inexpensive dive knife that I can also use on land. Thanks in advance

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

@@julianjohnson7908 The eldris is attached to a dive vest and works great . You may want to look for a larger dive knife for using on land .

[@jamescooper2618]

There are many times when you just need a small cutting edge, fast and handy and that's where this knife rules. Sometimes a big knife is just too much to deal with.

[@stevejohnsen7285]

I bought this knife specifically for fine work and fire starting. Perfect size blade for feather sticking! And very robust too! I'd call it the smaller brother to the Mora Robust!

[@rickcortes_7654]

I remember when I had my first beer.

[@richfreeman739]

I've owned a Eldris for about 3 weeks now and I like it. No you cant baton wood with it. If I want to baton something I will use my Jessmuk..

[@Pipefitter310]

Great video Chris and Wil, you sold me on this small knife. I've watched many videos on this and really wasn't sold on this one, but you guys made me see the light ! Thanks.

[@chriss9543]

My mora knife chipped on a glass while washing it off in the kitchen sink. It's been in my box of knives I don't use under the bed ever since. Kind of sucks because I liked the way it looked.

[@frankwebster2876]

It sure does look like a pretty cool knife. ..I like the idea that u guys pointed out that it had a full sized handle on it. ........thanks. ....excellent

[@StonrMoose69]

I bet it's a phenomenal skinning tool

[@Roux-AtlasCreation]

I like this knife a lot, but I don't see why I would buy this for 24 bucks when i can buy 2 other moras for the same price. Maybe it will go down after the initial hype.

[@11304800]

I personally don't see how "whittling" on a piece of wood adds to or takes away from the knife. In the end it all boils down to----whether or not you like the knife.

[@anothersloth309]

Chris, YOU'RE A LEGEND! keep up the good work 😎

[@bdmenne]

Been looking to see Eldris do finer work like net needle making.

[@johncampbell335]

Why comment that the price is wrong, or the design is wrong, if you are not in the market for the product? Same as the Garberg comments. There's a right tool for every job. These are not toys. Ultralight hikers asked for this product. Mora delivered. Problem?

[@nitrorc4life1]

Is this not an area to input your thoughts of your opinion? Or only a place to comment if of like mind of your choice....I see.

[@rogeriosartori555]

Yeah. Problem when it costs that much!

[@tpeach3109]

Ahhhhh, the overlooked chopper!😂

[@williampysell2819]

Good video. I have one Mora already, but I think I will be getting the Eldris model to add to my outdoor collection.

[@whitemexican3923]

I ordered one of these with the "kit" to carry and use on my thru hike of the CDT. I think it will be real handy, easy to carry, just what I need barring any emergencies. Of course, life is made up of taking risks and chances. So this small knife for me as in this situation I am trying to go very light. I own a Kansbool and wanted to take it but its too large and heavy for my needs on the trail (usually no fires, just cutting cheese and salami and things like that). Thanks for the good video.

[@enzowarren9832]

I have a piggyback rig with the Eldris attached to a kydex Buck Reaper sheath. I’ll be doing a short video to show it, if anyone’s interested.

[@zzz7zzz9]

i can't believe all the hate this knife is getting in the comments. every knife has a it's own uses and purpose. sure, pretty much anything this knife can do can be done with many other knives. but there are things that it's short blade is good for. it's much easier to be in control of it and apply more force because of it's shortened size. and not everyone needs a larger knife. i mean hell, it's advertised as a neck-knife, of course it's not a "one-and-done" knife, nobody is saying it is. it's designed to be compact and convenient. besides, one can never have enough knives. i usually have three on me while hunting. a big bonus with this shortened blade, if you were running while holding it and you tripped and landed on it, it can only go in that shorter distance. see, there's positives to it.

[@treerat7631]

I like it really good for hunting or fishing

[@nitrorc4life1]

Never understood why folks sharpen the spine on a bushcraft knife as finger on spine is priority for fine work.....exactly what a bushcraft knife is for. Most carry a large ferro rod...so attach a carbide striker as weight is nominal.

[@dawnbenoit1541]

Hey Brother cool to see you with Chris again

[@derekshelton3146]

Hey guys you can stick the but of the handle in to the sheath for extra length on your handle

[@whitemexican3923]

Just finally ordered one. :-)

[@NoreasternBladez]

Seems like a good option for wood carvers, or bowyers, the small detail work.

[@Chiefs500]

I have one of these, a Christmas gift to myself. I like the handle material and do carry it as a neck knife now and then but I am unimpressed with this Mora stainless steel. It seems very soft to me. I think the Mora #1, #2, or 510 make better, more versatile neck knives and they are considerably cheaper.

[@levicaddell1077]

Nice review... I can see the advantages of a small fixed blade knife, but most regular Moras do the same tasks and more. For the finer whittling tasks I just use my Barlow. Just saying....

[@srvctek1]

Seems like it might be great for Whittling

If you google the names of them knifes you will find out that they are names of villages in Dalarna . Kans- is probably a name and -bol means hm, built up, home. Kans could have had a meaning a thousand years ago that I do not get, it is also in dialect...

I don’t trust my knife’s snug fit with mine. It makes me nervous about losing it. I’ll keep it tucked. I like it so I’m protecting it.

[@xtom68x]

Here in Germany they charge 4 times the price of a "normal" Mora, like the "Companion" (42€ 10€)

[@TheChronicRhythm]

The neck knife combo wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. they get you for an extra $20-25 for a small fire steel and leather retention clip. Moras retention is sufficient to run this as a neck knife. If the retention gets loose, which it will over time, use a heat gun at the retention area and apply slight inward pressure.

[@Minsang1st]

For eldris, why not just get a good simple folder like opinel or case sodbuster?

[@theshanester9823]

Cool knife. Thanks for the demo Will. You and Chris have a great thanksgiving day

[@matthewjeffres1289]

Hey Guys! Great review. Seems like it would be a great fly fishing knife. The way it showered sparks was amazing! I could also see it being a very handy gutting knife during deer season. To the "it to expensive", everything cost more now than it did just a few years ago. Give them a break they have to make a living to!

[@mikepagong7812]

had it in my hands at a mora presentation... initially, i thought its useful, but its crap for carving... its lacking length for feathersticks. a mora carving knife will easily outperform it in cutting tasks. i rather get a decent sheath for one of those and file the spine down.

I bought this knife and the first thing I did was cut my self trying to cut up an apple. Not good. Then on a fishing trip it was around my neck for cutting line and opening my food packets and even cutting up my cake for supper. To be fair this has a great handle but the blade is just too short. So many of my folder as much shorter but when opened the blades are so much longer and better at small tasks. But hay I own the knife I will keep the knife I just don't think I will use it that much.
