[@kanukkarhu]

My opinion is that there's nothing these blades can do that most other Moras I already own can't do just as well. I haven't used one, and can't comment on how they function, but I feel confident saying that the materials are "budget" materials, with a semi-custom price. 5/10 is kind, in my opinion, and I know I won't be buying these blades.

Dont gwt me wrong, I love mora but.. The whole point of mora is the price, i never even went near the garberg because its not moras fashion, i usually just buy blade blanks and make my own handles

[@greekveteran2715]

@@a.i.a3949 Any other Mora knife, is better than the Garberg. Worst handle, worst blade design of all their models. Unfortunately Mora, has turned into a company with their marketing targeting how to make more money easily, rather than how to make more money, by providing a good quality and perfectly designed product, as they used to do in the past. That's greediness and it's the only thing I hate in my life. I'm sad that this company, has turned 180 degrees on the wrong direction, and I''ve already stopped getting Moras, since they produced the Garberg.

[@a.i.a3949]

@Greek Veteran Yeah agreed Allthough i actually dislike the mora 200/kansbol blade shape more than the garberg, they break so damn easily, as for the garberg or big survival knives or full external tang knifes its just not their style, like kbar dont make a traditonal pukkos (to my knowledge) they stick to what they're good at and mora should do the same, which is manufacturing the most cost efficient while still usable pukko style blades. Allthough admittedly these days i tend to buy blade blanks from laurin metali (the guys who make the blades for the terava jaukariupukko (cant remember how its spelt) the heat treatment and steel quality seems to hold up slightly better from my experience than mora. I eat through carbon mora no. 2 blades within about 2-3 years if im using and resharpening them often, i have the same mora no 2 handle i started with years ago but on the 3rd blade now. Old blades are still usable and in new handles for gifts to friends but they dont hold a good edge as its been sharpened down to the core.

[@ERatiu]

I heard a pretty annoying problem with the cooking knife is that when food inevitably gets in the screw holes, it's not that easy to wash it out and the water stays in there and damages the wood. Pretty big flaw for a $200+ cooking knife

[@roguesheep1747]

Thats why you clean it and dry it..what do you just wash and throw them into the drawer...its its really really easy and you start learning it at a young age when you and a sibling are on fishes duty..shit you can even use air blowers if you want to be really careful but usually it only takes the 4 corners of a dish towel 🤣😂🤣😅ffs man

thats awesome! I think morakniv has a lot of archives to find the name of the old models and when and where they were made

[@valentinmolzahn4872]

Yeah, I did exactly what Mikkie suggested a few weeks ago and got an F1 in cos for 185€ which is still cheaper than most new moras. Remember when Fallkniven was considered overpriced? And now it is a better budget option to Mora. Times are wild.

[@tor2919]

Fallkniven doesn’t compete with these though. F1 looks like a tactical knife and most outdoor people are put off by that.

[@snesleywipessqueegeeservices]

I appreciate that Mora have been shouldering the burden of being astonishingly good value for so long in the bushcraft community BUT have been using nasty plasticy rubbery handles and stick tangs that most knife users after their early years evolve away from, wanting better quality materials/design. *They have misjudged on the prices though* . They look like great knifes and I'd happily get the whole set but for half that price. In a nutshell the steel is just not good enough to warrant such a crazy price.

[@bartweijs]

They look like good knives; but you can get three or four Mora's or one fallkniven for the same price. Still awsome video! Yesterday, I had some bushcrafter ask me if I could sharpen his bushcrafting knife; and also "do the spine like you would hockey ice-skates". I had to think twice about that one; but he had a point; and last time he went ice-skating; he had his ice-skates sharpened; and also the spine of his knife; and it performed wonderfull for firesteel scraping. So I hollow-ground the spine of his knife; and it scraped firesteel like crazy; you should really try that. In the Netherlands you can find plenty of places to sharpen ice-skates.

[@kittytrail]

[@archi-mendel]

200 euros, crazy. I like my 10$ Mora Basic as much as my 20$ Mora Classic no. 1. And I am not the guy who is like "they are 10$, so I don't care if I lost them or break them". I like them for another reason - they are simple, yet they can perform a lot of tasks perfectly. And this is exacatly why I like being in the woods - for the simplicity and, I would even say, honesty of the moment. There is only you and the wood. Cheap but effective knife totally fits this feeling. Anyways, 200$ - wow, crazy.

[@tor2919]

Mora is the only made in Sweden knifemaker left. I’m quite happy they’re trying to move into premium because it might mean they’re able to stay in business. No one survives in the low end unless they move production to China (like Spyderco, Buck and most other makes have done). I think we should all be happy we can actually buy a made in Sweden Kansbol, Companion or 511. Mora has always made premium knives in the past, like the Laplander for example. Even though most people aren’t aware.

[@archi-mendel]

@@tor2919 such low-volume knives are not going to help their business anyways I think. I am okay with them selling such expensive knives, but the competition in 200 euro price area is huge and their propositions doesn't look strong to me.

[@gearberserker9979]

Honestly it's still are good knife, they still make an attractive product, and there's really no problem with the quality. But if only a few people are complaining, it's fine, but almost everyone is complaining about the price, then it's really a problem. Although the whole world is in inflation, all businesses are starting to increase prices, which is understandable, but their pricing this time, you can say that the step is too big, ordinary metal and ordinary wood plus the incomprehensible market pricing ... 😅

[@kittytrail]

got some kind of sticker shock when checking the Felco secateurs range the other day. they now have a couple 249€ models. super duper premium limited edition with leather covered handles and nice matte black finish for everything else. 😅 funny thing is when you really use them, they last decades so it ends up costin' something like a couple euros per month including spare parts along the way. even a few eurocents if they get the same longevity as my grandfather's ones from the early fifties. still working, parts still available and third generation using them hoping to pass them to the fourth in due time. 😏👌 those Moras though, bit expensive but when looking long term, who cares. plus we'll be soon having so much inflation that we'll laugh at those prices when paying 500000000000€ for a stale loaf of sawdust bread and double that the next day... 😂

[@sirsir9665]

It's a rip off plan and simple. You might be ok with it but it's just taking advantage of people

[@mdsign001]

If Mora priced this series any less, it would take too much of their customer base away from their own budget and mid range collection. These knives aren't meant for the people who buy most of their products based on budget. The sales from these don't take away from other's, they are just adding to the bottom line. It's actually pretty smart.

[@tor2919]

It was the exact same panic when the Bushcraft series launched ten years ago “omg 45€ for a Mora I can buy a 511 for 7€” The again when the Garberg was launched “omg 100€ for a Mora…” I mean it was the exact same reactions down to the letter. And it also explains why it’s important for healthy companies to not put themselves in a corner with low pricing. You need money makers with a high profit margin which also build the brand. I’d get if people were upset if Mora cancelled the Companion but that isn’t the case. So frankly I don’t get this at all. But then I wasn’t upset when they released the Bushcraft or Garberg either. At least these look like good knives unlike Bushcraft (awful handle) and Garberg (heavy and cuts like sh*t)

[@BaconNBeer]

My last knife is now a 16 " blade 5160 spring steel, full tang, fighting guard, 5 chira Kukri. What a beast of a knife. Hand made in Nepal.

I know mora probably has a lot of overhead and they’re doing things in a very environmentally friendly way but there are comparable options that are a fraction of the price. When I saw these announced the first thing I thought of was BPS knives and what a great value they are. Of course there are differences, stainless mora vs 1066 BPS, expensive mora packaging vs cheap packaging, and I’m sure the mora fit and finish is superior. Also it just occurred to me, do the Mora knives even have a sheath?BPS has a nice leather sheath and in some cases a fire steel and is also full tang with oak handles. To me these Mora knives seem like either a collectors piece or a money grab while pleasing all the people who’ve been asking for a full tang mora knife all these years. For that kind of money though, there’s just too many exceptional options from other production companies or even small “custom” makers and you’ll get way more for your money.

[@thomasmaloney843]

[@troopygino]

If I had to guess how much they were going to be, like when I originally saw them I would have thought they would be around £60-£80. You can get lovely Ukrainian wood handled bushcraft knives for like £40 (bps/beavercraft).

Thanks DBK for the honest vid!! I saw the Lok knife review already couple of weeks ago on a other channel and i saw the price and i thought that is bullsh#t.

[@BradGryphonn]

I love the Moras I have. I have an Original with the laminated steel, plus a Companion. As much as I really respect Mora's decision to create knives with a small environmental footprint that perform well, and look beautiful, my budget doesn't allow me to drop what would be over $400 Australian plus freight for one knife. Garbergs retail over here for nearly $200 Aussie dollars.

[@glbwoodsbum2567]

The less inexpensive Mora is thinner in geometry. It will always cut paper better, even if the edge sharpness is identical. Geometry determines the functionality of the heat treatment and the steel. Having said that, I don't buy into the "less of a carbon footprint." At least, what type of Steel is it? When you're paying that much money you want to know exactly what you're getting. Please don't hide behind "going green." If it's actually more efficient, why am I paying more?

[@joshuakeltz7025]

So for about $220 (about 200 euros), I could get a Tops Storm Vector here in the USA, or a Tops BOB and have money left to get it a custom sheath. Alternatively, I can get an Esee Izula, 3, or 4 in S35VN and have about $80 left for whatever. $220 for a basic steel with wooden handles is ridiculous, regardless of performance.

I love morakniv ! I have 5 mora , this new line is the most beautiful , my favorite is the finn for hiking , but a little bit expensive . I think its because they are collection knives . Thank you for your video DBK

[@den_bosmens_outdoor]

I think 75-100€ would have been a reasonable price tag. The thing I noticed when they launched them in the live video at IWA is that a lot of the money probably went to the design and development team because the knives themselves were not as important as the blah blah blah about the cardboard box ("ooh wow, look how it opens and closes!!") and all the hip words like sustainable and carbon footprint stuff. And I think Elles was already a little bit drunk. ;)

[@wesolowskimatt]

Not so much design team as marketing.

[@tor2919]

The actual retail prices in a couple months will be lower. It’s the same with all new products. Cash in on early adopters then retail will lower the price. The recommended price on a company’s website is always much higher than retail. For example I’m looking to replace my stove. The Primus Omnilite is listed at 250€ on Primus website but I can easily find it for 160€ in retail. People forget that Mora gets paid perhaps 50-60€ for one of these knives. The rest is retail and tax.

[@8thsinner]

Yeah but you still bought it. Other reviews will buy it and have bought it. they've easily had 30k or 40k through the door just from reviewers since it's release already. They don't care what you think of the price, they are making money, tons of money in fact, and also in a preemptive strategy to raising their prices on the cheaper stuff.

[@marcusott5054]

Great looking knives. Decent steel. Finally removable handle scales. But the price makes it a no-go. Around that price (maybe a bit more) you can get Bark Rivers, Survive Knives, Benchmades, Fällknivens, etc... most/all with much better steels. Morakniv has been consistently going higher in price, maybe to shake off the image of the "cheap" knife? Hope they don't collapse.

I tend to agree with you: those are expansive for what they are but... ...What about "RayMears Bushcraft knife", LTWrite&Son and all other brands that sell that exact kind of knives, in that exact price range (or even more)? Mora just joined the game, following the rules that "other players made" (and that the buyers accepted); we can't be mad with Mora for it (since they continue to make the classic models... But if they stop; on the Garberg Dala Red there are the coordinates of the factory... Just saying...). Imagine if Mora come out with a "Bushlore clone" with 60-70 euro price point; many knife-maker will not sell another knife ever. I gues Mora people thought about this too; you know: when you step in someone else yard, better to follow their rules (Mora is a giant, can enter in the yard with arrogance and be fine... ...This is not the case for every knife maker, especially nowadays). For sure some extra income is good and appealing but there are many factors to consider, especially because "no one is forced to buy anything". I mean... ...Falkniven "wood line" is outrageously expensive lol (I really think is ridiculous; I just ignore it).

Yup, they really missed the ball on this. I was hoping it would be at least 14c28n.... nope just 12c27... Joker knives have gorgeous sheaths, and thick slabs of 14c28n for half the price....

[@JPMGRILOPT]

The prices on the shops are already going down from the the initial MSRP, you already can find the Lok at close to 200€. But even at then price there are a lot of good brands with good ofer with more modern steels. Its still is the same steel 12c27 from the same factory Sandvik. Since 2020 they decided not to say what steels they used openly, if you check the catalogs from those years already only appears the recycled Swedish steel mention and not 12c27 or 14c28n. But you can steel find in an article in their webpage the specs of steels. If the garberg with the leather sheath is listed in their website at 120€ that has a bit more manual labor would probably go around 150€-160€ maybe

Tekut Survival knife, full tang, G10 handle scales with a drop point edge and a stonewashed finish. Strong nylon sheath. Great quality and affordable. I would LOVE to see you guys test it

[@marksaint2936]

I would like to see an episode where you match a knife style to each of your band members.

[@BaconNBeer]

I want to tell you two forest knobs a story. One time in a far off land a uncle of a young man took out the one knife that he carried. It was his rich uncle who owned only one soso folding pocket knife and he said and these were words to live by "this knife cleaned a lot of deer. Boy." He will never forget it. He was poor. He had lots of knives and not one had cleaned a deer. His rich uncle had sharpened his knife so many times and so poorly it had the blade nearly worn away. But it had cleaned deer. The poor, because he bought to many knives, young guy looked at the rich uncles knife and thought I wouldn't pick up that piece of crap if it laid on the trail in front of me. The poor young man was a steel snob. He had to have a knife that represented many different steels not that he used them. The poor young man bought many knifes to reassure himself that his knives were up to the task yet failed to actually do a task with his knives. In fact he rarely used any of his knives and actually bought knives with the intention of never using the them. He only took them out and looked at them. What a waste of good knife steel thought the poor young man. In my hands they have done nothing of consequence. Don't get the idea that the young man is me. I am not young in fact I am old. So it couldn't possibly be me that has wasted premium knife steel. I am so ashamed to admit the young man is me. How sad.

[@thefishinglor6931]

If they used 14c28 or aeb-l without the coating i would have been fine with it

[@RandomSadBoomer]

12c27 for the price of super steel 😀No, thank you, Mora!

[@the_greybearded_norse]

Looked at their web page and this is definitely more of a functional collectors item, even the names are taken from people that had a major part in the creation of the classic morakniv..

[@johnbecquet7819]

Firstly love you guys,but wasn't this what people were asking Mora for , yes the price is higher but the quality is good as we expected. I live in Australia and all the knives (bushcraft and survival knives ) are very expensive here ,I own jokers ,and mora knives , so it is hard to afford the top end knives . But thanks you guys for showing me how good these knives and many for are will have to save for awhile if I want to get more of these knives thank you again cheers

[@mrdarren1045]

Still the carbon garberg for me every time.

[@ianoosthoek6341]

Oehhh yeah! New vid!!😍😍

[@maxlvledc]

Until you make the video, it's all speculation...I have spoken!

[@markwilkerson-dz8pe]

mora is doing what everyone else is doing over priced if they were 120 to 140 they would be flying off the shelves they look nice sharp comfortable steel is good but not for what they are asking still love mora

[@mayday3025]

Thats a bummer…. Guess i’ll just buy a second kansbol of garberg then. Thanks for the honest review gentlemen Op naar de volgende!!

[@J.sh_CDN]

You can always put a set of wood scales on your garberg and have a better knife than the ash. You can also buy the kansbol or Mora 2000 as it was originally called, as just the blade. Then you simply drill a hole in a piece of wood, fill with epoxy or super glue, shove the tang in, and shape the wood as you see fit! Instant mora with a wood handle.

[@stefthorman8548]

Wood scales are an downgrade compared to the stock scales, wood is infinitely more fragile and unreliable in wet conditions then the polymer ones.

[@brianlucas3418]

12c27 for $200 just because it is recycled.?.?. Am I missing something? Isn’t recycling supposed to lower the price of a product?

[@iReturnV1deotapes]

Yes, but to Vegan tree huggers that's considered a premium feature.

[@nonamnonam5332]

Why wouldn't I just buy Condor?

[@westcoastwarriorsarchive7929]

they look pretty nice but it seems like those moras a just regular mora knives with a handle made out of 2x4 way too expensive for what it is. also that promo code is hiliarious I might have to go order something from boker just to use it

[@edyvanea]

Mikey at 12:45 + I thought you were gonna give him a wake up slap in the face … haha!

[@kevinpg2316]

I’d like to see you guys do a video by performance categories. Such as, the best knife for batoning, the best knife or feather, sticking, etc. Then pick one life is the best all around.

[@billjanke72]

OMG 😳😳😳 $200+ USD for a recycled materials knife. Lower Carbon footprint or not, nobody is spending $200+ on a Mora. They really made a blunder on this one. It might be a 10/10 knife but people in the knife community won't buy these. The ONLY market I can see for these would be weekend warrior environmental hipsters who have absolutely no knowledge of knife steels and are purely sold on the thought that they are helping the environment. If Mora was smart they would just use reclaimed wood or recycled wood fiber for the handles instead of plastic. That's a win/win.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

A Tramontina machete is the same and costs $20

[@tomeidt7057]

All the excuses for the price they have given were foreseeable circumstances. They knew they were going to price gouge from the start. It's a sad thing to see from such a trusted company.

[@thatguy044]

These seem like showpiece knives to me. You want function get a companion. You want more robust and reliable, get a garberg. You want to point at something in a case and say, "yeah, I bought that!!" then get one of these. They ARE pretty. But there are too many options with better materials in that price range.

[@1BigHeart777]

For $250 USD I’ll get a Helle Nord

[@mdsign001]

If Mora priced this series any less, it would take too much of their customer base away from their own budget and mid range collection. These knives aren't meant for the people who buy most of their products based on budget. The sales from these don't take away from other's, they are just adding to the bottom line. It's actually pretty smart.

[@marketingdepartment1082]

I would add to that comment that we should not expect that a company of Mora's size have not done their research, before setting the prices, or even before designing and launching the product line. I am sure they did their research, and came to the conclusion that there is a market share they can target. The fact that the price may not reflect actual "knife for dollar" value, does not mean that they do not have a place in the market. Knife people will consider type of steel, edge geometry and properties of the knife. Many others will only buy "green". To each their own!
