Comparing Morakniv Kansbol and Mora Companion side by side.

FAQ:
The grip for longer holding is better with the Kansbol. But Companion is cheaper and is still good. The barrel type Kansbol handle is more comfortable. If you don't mind the guard, like I do, even 546 is good.
For me, Kansbol is better because of the handle. I prefer Morakniv Classic handle style and this is the closest version in plastic and stainless steel.
Is it worth the price? For me - yes.
Both are good knives, but Companion does not feel that well in my hand. I would remove the guard, but then it will float in the sheath. Kansbol has different sheath holding system, so I removed the "rubber guard" to fit my hand better and there is no issue with the sheath.

I like the sheath of the companion better because i can clip it to my shorts or pants without a belt. I avoid belts if I can.

[@KobriakKnives]

I like the Companion's clip also a bit better.

[@beentheredonethat5908]

The moral bushcraft or survival comes with the same sheath, exceot the bushcraft has a flint and the survival or tactical come with a sharpener and flint.

[@karlroberts3179]

Owned 6 or 8 Companions, 3 Robusts, a Kansbol, and probably others I've lost or gifted. Love them because they are cheap enough to not worry about (because I always carry a backup on deep trips). I have NEVER broken a Mora, despite being harsh with them. Ironically I have made several custom Helles, and custom leather sheaths , but always look forward to carrying my Moras. They're kinda like driving an old car that you don't mind scratching! Good review. Thanks!

[@KobriakKnives]

I agree with what you wrote :)

[@jelaienfinue]

I don't own the Kansbol (yet), but it seems like it would be a better all-around blade. I absolutely love my Companion, but having a thinner tip like the Kansbol would make it even more precise and "sclicier". Either way though you can't go wrong. If it's a Mora, it's good.

[@KobriakKnives]

I agree. Both Moras are good. I also thought Kansbol will be better. In the end somehow I have been using Companion more often than Kansbol.

[@dmitryskliarenko2451]

I'll say that Kansbol is better for camping, and Companion is better for military use.

[@KobriakKnives]

Hi Dmitry, could you explain in more detail what do you mean under military use?

[@dmitryskliarenko2451]

@@KobriakKnives i mean it's good as a soldier knife. I see many of them on Ukrainian soldiers. I have spoken to several of them. They believe that this is the best knife for a soldier. It is light, durable and cheap. Its sheath can be easily attached to military equipment.

[@AlexRomero-el4uu]

The companion is in my opinion a better bush tool. Ive felled trees, skinned, field dressed, carved and done stuff like tick removal no problem. The kansbol feels tough and has great food slicing capabilities but when doing bushcraft i preffer the companion . Youl notice when your carving and notching the companion just glides into wood. The blade is easy to sharpen. I usually jusy hone it after use and it stays sharp.

[@KobriakKnives]

You are right. Companion has better value as a tool.

[@357bullfrog2]

I wish they made a companion blade with the kansbol handle. It would be a near perfect knife for me

[@sandorszilagyi]

I own both and I prefer the handle of the companion... Kansbol's handle is a little bit slippery in wet conditions.

[@sherwinpalacio3227]

Kansbol is a beautiful knife but with its price ,i could buy two Companions.

[@KobriakKnives]

That is true. And actually I prefer the Companion for usage. Kansbol sits in a box, but Companion with Mora basic 511 and Glock 78 are used.

[@stoyanpavlov772]

Kansbol! It's more universal.

[@sherwinpalacio3227]

The Companion and Kansbol are great knives!

[@marcdomin6479]

A man needs both of them. Plus the Eldris! Mora rocks! ❤️

[@KobriakKnives]

Hi, do you already have the Eldris? How is it? I am not sure I want it, because it is quite small, so I am looking to hear your experience.

[@RiteraRacoonOutdoor]

Mora knives are absolutely reliable and fantastic. I also have some of them. Great Review! greetings Marco & Racoon

[@KobriakKnives]

I fully agree with you both Marco and your trusty companion Racoon :)

[@lifeofjoyandcreation]

I wanto both. I have a classical no. 2 for decades and love it so much.

[@KobriakKnives]

Hi Philipp. I love the classic no.2 too. I wish it would be as an option in stainless steel, so that I would not get the rust marks on the blade and where the blade meets the handle.

[@ax85114]

What I like about the companion is it's sheath. I wear sweat pants most of the time and it can clip on it, no problem. With the kansbol you have to have a belt. Also if you need the extra toughness of the kansbol, go with the companion heavy duty

[@KobriakKnives]

You are right. I also like this clip on a sheath. Mostly in the summer wearing shorts and working around the house. J I just clip it and work for example on a ladder. I have tried the Kansbol because I like the barrel handle shape without the guard - like on a Morakniv Classic. Honestly the toughness of Companion is good enough for me.

[@NOS2IeX]

Also have both in my adventure pak ☺️nice video

[@KobriakKnives]

Thank you for your comment.

[@blindowl-bushcraft-survival]

sure are great knives

[@AlexRomero-el4uu]

Ps its good to see you slicing with the knife rather than digging the blade in.

[@KobriakKnives]

Thank you.

[@user-ug1oz9wg4t]

Только кансбол, в разы дороже компаньона стоит.

[@demon_neuro]

@@user-ug1oz9wg4t Кансбол мне уже надоел,с радостью бы обменял на нож Morakniv Woodcarving Basic ,но никто не хочет

I am glad you did like it.

[@RealBoiJare]

Why do you need such loud generic music over this? We don’t want to listen to that

[@KobriakKnives]

Thanks for your feedback. We? How many are you in your head? :)

[@RealBoiJare]

@@KobriakKnives it’s from everyone that watched your video. Or don’t listen and get less views in the future. Do you think I honestly care? 😂

[@KobriakKnives]

No music in my last short video :) Feedback was applied. Thanks.
