[@stansmith4054]

Me and my Kansbol are sitting on the couch together watching Rambo (with Swedish captions).

[@gideonstactical]

Nice!

[@vladimirpospisil5882]

:) me too

[@argonzificationd.1531]

Just so you know, there is a purpose for the Kansbol's compound grind. The front half of the blade is supposed to be better for food prep, while the scandi portion is meant to be used for bushcraft.

[@G1NZOU]

Seems like a sensible compromise for a camp knife, especially in combination with a small axe or hatchet, make some feathersticks with the scandi part, then slice some food with the tip portion.

[@mermaniel]

Exactly. Seems like basic logic...

[@bansheep1]

Also easier in the sharpening point of view. With the Kansbols thinner portion you dont have to remove as much metal compared to the Garberg in shaping another bevel once the original has worn out.

[@floppinfish]

Yeah that's a no brainer.

[@herbertbrewer4175]

You think someone reviewing a product would know of these things.

[@benji4608]

Garberg is a mountain top in Dalarna, the county in Sweden where the town Mora is located (after which the company is named obviously). Eldris is a station along a ski trail outside Mora. Kansbol is a tiny village outside of Mora, it used to be a farm where people brought their cattle in the summers, but nowadays it's just summer houses. So yeah, pretty much an elf in lord of the rings.

[@heithheithinson2495]

I love when people say ignorant shit trying to sound funny or superior and then you find out the reasoning is really deep and meaningful and they were too busy sounding like a jackass to look it up

[@JulioMo]

​@@heithheithinson2495 😂😂😂😂

[@atleandersen1924]

Perhaps the chaps in Sweden could make a special US version, with names particularly suited for you market. Here are a few suggestions. In stead of Garberg (a place in Sweden) a more appropriate name could be " The Ultra-tac GTX annihilator pro. The stainless version could be the "Bald Eagle liberty edition" and the carbon version could be " Black-Ops Patriot Enforcer"

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

😂

[@dukedenarie5858]

The sheaths are part of why I like them so much.

[@fishfish70]

The grind of the Kansbol works wonderfully removing the backstraps and generally butchering medium and large game. I also like the light weight and feel in the hand making it easy to use and manipulate for prolonged work.

[@NorseAlpine]

Here is how I view the Garberg: it's my main, multi purpose belt knife. It is rather light, even with the sheath it's very compact and both knife and sheath are pretty much impervious to to elements (water, rain, snow, heat cold,...). I put a Skandivex edge on my which is rather robust so it will handle pretty much everything I throw at it. So for me the Garberg is the one knife I will always have on me since it so light, compact, impervious and unobtrusive and it still is able to handle pretty much everything if done with thought. Of course I love my ESEE 6 but it is just too big and heavy and threatening looking to have on you all the time (JMHO, I like to be light and fast). Also I don't like the retention strap that comes with the multimount since it slides of to the side way to easily making it useless... So I added my own more traditional retention strap made with a snap, a rivet and some mil spec webbing. Great video, I very much agree on your point of the Garberg being one hell of a great deal.

[@gideonstactical]

Überlebe! Nice!

[@StevanOutdoor]

+ Überlebe! I understand the multimount sheath has some velcro to keep it together and that does not mix with salt water, dirt or snow. To me the multimount sheath seems useless. Pay more and get some extra plastic.

[@stealthmanofthewoods2570]

By Mayor Fuglycool kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4fao55ubbt5n9E&ab_channel=MayorFuglycool on comprend que la taille ne fait pas l'homme

[@charlescollier7217]

Thanks for the review, Aaron. I personally preferred (and purchased) the Kansbol with the molle-compatible sheath system. I prefer the lighter weight (like you say, less than most folders) for hiking, and I love the compound grind for hunting/cooking/camp tasks. The thinner tip makes the knife superb for things like fileting fish, while still having the ability to do light batoning and carving. It didn't hurt that I caught a sale and got the whole package for $36.

[@HUZ9k3s5w]

I believe blade on the Kansbol is the same as the old Mora 2000. The knife is more of a camp, hunting and fishing knife than a typical Mora scandi for bushcraft tasks.

[@StevanOutdoor]

+Fjell Wood. It's the same indeed. They use that same blade style on different models but as far as I know the Mora 2000 was the first.

[@petebarnes9698]

Put the knot of your lanyard through the button hole on the sheath. Works very effectively as a stop lock

[@johncampbell335]

I was sharpening my Garberg yesterday and I was pondering my own long-term thoughts on it. I've been using it exclusively since the launch. My overall take is the same as yours - the Garberg is a great value, if you need the 'bombproof' version. The upgraded steel and full tang are worth the extra money for a knife that will be used for decades. The retention strap on the modular sheath can be accidentally bumped to the side, as mentioned by others. That's a design flaw I'm surprised Mora made. Otherwise, the modular sheath concept is great.

[@StevanOutdoor]

+John Campbell. Maybe the price is way different in the USA on these Garberg knives but over here they are around 100 euro so probably some 118 usd. For that money I have many other options. Even for half that money I have many other options. Is the Mora the new fashion thing in the USA??

[@scotthansenmtbt4110]

Dutch Bushcraft I just bought 3 more Garbergs from Amazon on sale. I ordered 3 for $56.00 each and free shipping. I now have 4 Mora Garbergs. They aren't the perfect knife for me, but they are close. For what I've paid for them, they are awesome.

[@bowhunter_vavirginia6189]

While these two knives are without a doubt great quality blades, as all Mora's are, I see nothing that they will do better that the Mora Companion H.D. will do except for lightening up your wallet. I understand Mora's marketing strategy by trying to cash in on another group of outdoorsman that always has to have the "latest and greatest", but let's face it, people started buying Morakniv's for the VALUE they bring to the table. I ALWAYS have two Mora Companion H.D. knives in my pack. Not because I think one will break, but because over the years I have given so many away as gifts. I have seen that these knives stand up to every task a camper, prospector, or hunter could ask of them. I have never broken one, but then again I don't abuse ANY knife. From a VALUE standpoint, there is no better knife on the market today than the Mora Companion series. I buy knives to cut, chop, and slice, not for all the bells and whistles of a fancy sheath. With that being said, I know Mora has a LOT of great knives in their stable, I just hope they continue to produce the knives that any youngster can afford, and knives that guys like me are proud to give away to those just starting out in their outdoor journey.

[@bpchristensen]

I've been using a Companion for years as an all-around hunting and camping knife and I agree with your points about the value and versatility of the Companion. I've bought many as gifts as well, and both my kids carry them in their packs. The thing that is drawing me to the Garberg is the sheath (and better quality steel). I want something I can mount to PALS webbing on my packs/vests without fiddle-dinking around with some jerry-rigged contraption using the Companion sheath. Yes, I could buy a custom Kydex sheath for the Companion, but then I'm up into Garberg territory in terms of the total $ investment. That is my reason for considering the Garberg (still shopping).

[@performanceregina]

I love my companion HD but I also have to Mora 2000 (same blade as the Kansbol but with a slightly different handle, I bought it because it’s sheath is ambidextrous and I’m a lefty) - and I love the extra length of the 2009/Kansbol. My only complaint with my companion HD is it’s a little bit short for my liking/food prep around camp, etc.

[@seanb6986]

Better steel, handle material, full tang, leather sheath, etc...

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

still using the clipper I bought ten years ago, one tough little knife that keeps coming back for more.

[@darrenboorman4365]

Bowhunter_va Virginia Companion HD Carbon is my go to everyday knife. I’ve got an ESEE for more heavy duty. I do like the look of the Garberg but the Companion is such a good knife for only about £18.

[@ilijabosnjak76]

Honestly to this day my Mora Companion MG Carbon is all I need.. I have like 40-50 different knives but Mora is the one,for chopping wood I have Husqwarna axe and hatchet…Simple things are beautiful

[@SteveSmith-sd5hq]

Great review, I'm still not quite sure how you don't have more subscribers; your reviews are at the top of the line. When I see a knife I like, the first thing I do is check KZbin to see if you have made a video on it. Also, are you planning on getting your hands on that new "Tactical Sliver" Gerber Strongarm? I've never heard of the new steel being used (BDZ-1), but the silver handle and stuff looks sick.

[@gideonstactical]

Steve Smith thank you for the support! Already preordered the strongarm BDZ-1 ships 11/17. I’ve never use that steel either, but from my research it supposed to be almost exactly like the sanvik steel on the Garberg in this video.

[@jordanl7459]

I agree top reviews

[@bereantrb]

Others already noted the compound grind for food prep, Mora also has stated its use for finer skinning tasks. Their audience for the Kansbol is the general outdoorsman/hunter.

[@dubon811]

Finally a commentator with knowledge about the intended use of a knife. I see all this stupid huge channels with ignorant fat couch potatoes batoning Helle knives and calling them poor quality because they broke them while batoning. The knife they broke was the Viking knife made by Helle. It's a replica of a knife found in the grave of a Viking warrior from the 10th-11th century. I am sure Viking carry axes for the job but this assholes just want to hammer the shit out of a piece of history. Thank your for your review I enjoyed it and will be getting my first Mora soon and your review helped with my decision.

[@waldgeist9007]

Actually, there is a very good reason for the Garberg's full tang contruction: Because people kept asking for a full tang Mora. Plus it competes with other similar knives (full tang, molded handle, ~4'' blade) like the Fällkniven F1, Cold Steel Master Hunter, Steel Will Druid series, Terävä Jääkäripuukko, Linder Super Edge 1&2 and many more. Having just that slightly angled part of the front grip instead of a pronounced finger guard the Garberg also brings a different flavor to those knives. It's like the bigger brother of the legendary Mora 510. After the price came down from >120 EUR to ~70 EUR there is not much to complain about the Garberg anymore. Would I chose it over a Terävä Jääkäripuukko? No, not at all. Those are my preferred choice for hard tasks. But the Garberg is a nice secondary blade or camp knife between your big main knife (BK7/9, Terävä Skrama) and the small blade for fine tasks (Mora 510/511, Companion or a folding knife). I think the 3.2mm blade thickness puts the Garberg in a nice spot between thinner Companions and those overbuilt chunks of metal like the BK2 or F1. It is a nice alternative to typical Bushcraft knife designs like the Spyderco Bushcraft, Real Steel Bushcraft or Condor Bushlore. The cool thing about knives is you don't have to pick just one. You can have as many of them as you can afford. I would not pick the Garberg as my only knife if I had to chose one. But I find myself throwing it into my pack quite often.

[@RhythmMethodBand]

If you had to choose only one, what would your pick be? And if you limited to under $100?

[@kesokorv]

Its a skinner.. same bladeshape as mora 2000, that is a knife for the military here in Sweden

[@JensVanDeAarde]

4:10 they did this grind for skinning deer for fish and of course it’s amazing fo making feathersticks

[@andreasostensson5747]

4:18 you said the blade looked goofy, well that's what Knasboll literally mean. (Someone who is silly/quirky)

[@gadgetsandtech]

Regarding the Kansbol grind. The front is for skinning game and food prepping, while the grind near the handle is for carving and wood crafting. So it’s a multipurpose grind.

[@jamesreck8476]

I removed the leather loop from my Kansbol and replaced it with a belt clip. The knife, sheath and firestarter kit are so light I can clip it onto sweatpants or swim trunks no problems. I prefer my camp knife to have a clip so I can add or remove it when sitting or sleeping.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

I just received my first Mora Garberg... This knife is EPIC !!! Build quality is superior. The one thing I really like about this knife that no other knife has is that it has a short drop at the point allowing this knife to be extra strong. Other knife makers tend to make a false blade on top in taper it an inch back. This knife does not. The taper is less than 5 mm, which gives the knife a whole lot of strength up front. For 70 bucks this is the best knife there is... Morakniv needs to make a longer knife blade with five to six millimeter thickness on the spine. Like a Morakniv Garberg Pro+ Series.

[@DutchieMcDutchface]

Wouldn't sell in Europe, most people here don't even need the normal garberg. A mora companion combined with a boys axe (hultafors ekelund etc) is much more common, also oversized "pocket swords" are pretty frowned upon

[@topofhelist6592]

I think the kansbol blade design is better for slicing. And the back end for feather sticking bead the whole point of the build

[@djmay5588]

The kansbol tang actually goes just past the lanyard hole from the back

[@jackchueh1231]

Dj May are you sure? Doesn’t seem like it...

[@UpsideDownCanoe]

@@jackchueh1231 it does, dropped mine in the fire a few months ago...

[@msilverhammer]

Two words...Terava Jaakaripuukko! For those of you who are unaware, the Terava Jaakaripuuko is also known as the Mora Garberg KILLER!

[@AOAOAO96]

Msilverhammer No... Garberg is stainless...

[@msilverhammer]

Blade & Outdoor The Terava Jaakaripuukko is available in Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel, and in different lengths.

[@Andromacky]

I can't get the terava on Amazon in Canada tho

[@msilverhammer]

You can purchase it at Varusteleka dot com in Finland. Make sure that you select the Canadian website version in the upper right hand corner when you navigate there. Sometimes out of stock due to popularity, but available in stainless and carbon steels, as well as a longer version too.

[@waldgeist9007]

I love my Terävä Jääkäripuukkos - all of them. Still, I also own a Mora Garberg and find myself quite often using it as a secondary knife for those tasks the JP 140 is a little too big and my smaller camp knife (Companion, 510/511 or folding knife) is a little too "weak" for. Just like all the other 4'' full tang Bushcraft knives (Condor Bushlore, Real Steel Bushcraft, Spyderco Bushcraft).

[@JasonMcFly]

Big disagree on the looks, the compound grind on the Kansbol looks hella cool. All other things being equal I'd pick the Kansbol just for that!

[@willtrax71]

Lol if the Mora had “Benchmade” in it then it would definitely be 170 bucks instead of 70, it would have a phenomenal warranty also..

[@randyyeager]

I wish someone would do a video comparing the kansbol and the outdoor 2000...is the handle worth the extra money? is the blade the same or thicker...or what? Anyway, good video...love yer channel!

[@randyyeager]

the thinner tip on the Kansbol is supposed to lend itself to carving...

[@redpanda1971]

It's pretty much the same blade, with a brushed metal finish & square spine. I prefer the Kansbol handle. It's slightly thicker than the 2000 & the rubber feels stiffer.

[@matthewjeffres1289]

Well done. Mora makes great knives. Thanks!

[@bpchristensen]

Great video - thanks for the followup long-term review. Oh, and THANK YOU for not saying "ambi-dextreeus" like so many people do! :-)

[@jeffhodge7333]

"I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous."

[@ryanbong9984]

What about doing a comparison between the Garberg and the gerber strongarm? Or the Kansbol to the Gerber prodigy? Those probably keep similar price points and competitive options. That could be a fun comparison video.

[@christopherrobinson9690]

The image gives me the blade had more detailed usage of the cutting edge. Weather it is or not it gives me impression of more versatile use. Good conjuring sales tactic. The Garbage knife looks to plain and over exaggerated. The other one with different blade width looks multifunctional. That is valuable to me.

[@bobinmontana777]

I thought I weighed in on the Garberg/Kansbol vid, maybe I'm late to the party. However, I have both and definitely prefer the Garberg for wood/campcraft, etc. I'd use my Companion over the Kansbol for food prep. I am definitely amazed at the Kansbol advocates out there, but many people like thinner blades. My mind always considers the "what-if" scenario. I'd want a Garberg in my get home bag rather than a thinner Kansbol. Same goes for a day hike, I'd want a sturdier knife with me.

[@istinklikebutt45]

Bob B maybe they're not using them in get home bags.

[@rickfoley5596]

I wish the Kansbol came with two blade profile options. People seem to either love the dual profike or like me hate it like me. For me if the Kansbol had their standard scandi grind it would be the perfect backup Survival knife.

[@davidtoastivine707]

Very good review, non biased and fair

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

My favorite mora is the cheapest cheap mora pro c. Ive made it convex on the blade grinding attachment and it works great. All other mora knives are to overpriced especially the garberg. The varusteleka terava jakaripuuko kills it and nearly any other knives out there too. Love your videos gideon always truthfull and honest reviews

[@rottiejakeluke]

what made you choose the stainless steel vs the blue titanium coated version? thanks

[@filipoutdoors2449]

The only reason I wouldn't switch from the companion to this is the sheath on the companion clips on to your belt or pants. I don't always want to wear a belt at work so I can live with a companion week after week.

I watch a lot of your videos. As I was watching this video I got nervous because as you doesn't you swing the knives around like drum sticks and tap on your fingers to emphasize the points you're making with the knife. I love your videos so much, but if I was there I would stand about 8 feet away while you talk with a knife in your hand. 🙂 Your videos are great! Keep up the good work!

Boker just released a knife similar to the garburg, same steel, grind and length but has sculpted g-10 grip scales and an actual kydex sheath with tek-lok (their version) for $87. I'm not ripping on the garburg, just letting you know about this just released boker.

[@pathrst]

I have a jaakaripuukko and have mixed feelings about it. If you get around to checking one out I would love to see your comparison

[@boscokid9524]

If they didn't change the grind in the Kansbol then you have the Companion with a different sheath. As for the sheath retention on the Garberg the belt carry option seems good but after using it for 5 days in the Boundary Waters it lost a lot of retention. I love the knife itself but now the belt carry option is pretty much gone for me unless I get a different sheath.

[@NorseAlpine]

Doug Lloyd You can add your own retention strap to the belt loop or just simply put some tape inside the sheath over the two knobs holding onto the knife.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Aaron, no comparison, two different knives, Yup, I have both. The Garberg I use in a Basic Trio, or with my Buffalo Black Horn M-43 H. I. Khukuri or my Bokor Aparro Hollow Handle Survival Knife. The Kansbol I permimently attached it to my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife, A lovely piece of kit, Yup a much lighter combo, but the two really compliment eachother. Infact I even sometimes use my Eldris as a Neck Knife. I feel fortunate to own both, But if I was only able to choose one, The Garberg is hands down my choice. I find the Kansbol and the Mora 2000 to be very similar, only different handles, But the Garber has a better steel and more of a perfect Bushcraft Knife. Dilly, Dilly, ( I stole the Dilly, Dilly from a Budweiser commercial), heh heh heh.,,.p

[@frankwoodman6496]

I'll take the kansbol over the garberg any day . The thin design is meant for skinning and gutting, the thicker side is meant for bushcraftimg. I love the plastic sheath with mora no maintenance required , with leather you have to maintain and the plastic sheath has two drain holes, it's a no brainer. Kansbol rules in my opinion. In less your your planning on using the back of your knife to hammer on, who the hell needs who full tang knife

[@istinklikebutt45]

I'm not sure why some people think you're supposed to be able to chop down trees and baton huge logs with a "survival knife". A knife doesn't have to be huge to be able to survive and emergency type situation with it.

[@BC-cx9mx]

Golly, I wonder if that goofy part of the blade has a purpose. Too bad Mora doesn't have a website otherwise we could have learned more about why they made it. And those goofy names! Must be a goofy marketing ploy too! So Swedish!

[@Dutch_bastard_23]

Why didn't you show/mention that with the gansbol the upper end/tip of the blade is quite thin, so when you use it for prying, it bends waaaaaaaaaay too easily , which is damn annoying. That's what I hate about that knife

[@Eurotrash4367]

I don't understand why people dislike Mora's sheaths. They retain perfectly, are ultra lite and nearly indestructible. What's not to like?

[@prandz420]

people are pretentious and want kydex or a sheath that doesnt look like a fishing knife

[@shadowx8405]

They retain perfectly..... for be about 5 minutes. LOL OK, a bit sarcastic, but essentially true. If you use the knife frequently, the sheath will stop retaining the knife. You can turn the sheath upside down, and the knife will fall out. For the price, they're about the best knives around. I don't mind the sheath, either. But, those who criticize it are not (ALL) being knife snobs. Their criticisms are valid.

[@Minsang1st]

@@shadowx8405 lol I agree. They’re functional, but they surely lose their retention pretty fast after you use it a few times. You either have to use heat and reshape the sheath regularly or get a new sheath that’ll properly keep the knife in.

[@smug_cat1]

My problem with them they look like Crap they are not amb And they dont have a good mounting

[@BlueHourProductions]

Maybe others have had that experience but I honestly don't know what they mean. I have had my mora knife with synth sheath for 8 years now and used for everything from skinning dear to everyday use. There jas been no change in retention that I have perceived at all and I always carry it horizontal on my belt.

[@patriceb26]

Bonjour so which one is the best for bushcraft?

[@toddriddle1470]

Garberg One of these ‘fäbodar’ is called Garberg. It originally belonged to the village outside of Mora where our factory’s located today and all our knives are made. Garberg lies at the shore of a large lake, created by a nearby hydroelectric dam in the great river of Dalarna. Here, people have been working hard for centuries, facing the challenges of nature and the demanding self-sufficient life. To name our full tang knife Garberg after the place and the people who lived there is our way of paying tribute to our roots. Our ancestors and the surroundings of Mora are all parts of who we at Morakniv are today. The Garberg knife - the proud, strong and hard working tool that gladly faces every challenge - is our interpretation of the life once lived at the ’fäbod’ of Garberg

Works well for skinning game, normal scandi "belly" does not work as well.

Think I'm with the Kansbol. Light weight yet performs way above what you would expect. It's a solid all rounder and it looks less conspicuous. It looks like what it is, a Bushcraft or camping knife. No skulls, no zombie guts, no glass breaker or bottle opener in sight. Not going to frighten the neighbours with this (unless you're doing something stupid). Plus what I love about mora is that it's not chinese mystery steel yet still at an affordable price. The edge is also wickedly sharp, I'd say easily amongst the sharpest knives I own.

You lost me when you said the secondary grind on the Kansbol doesn’t effect performance. It most certainly does.

[@christopherrowley7506]

Yeah this looks like a good design for me. That flat grind tip and belly would be handy for skinning small game. I just wish they offered it in high carbon instead of stainless

[@pmmp855]

I paid around $75 to $80 for my garberg. And I’d do it again. It’s well worth it. ESEE 4 is $130. The benchmade hidden canyon $120......the list goes on and on. I love my mora garberg

[@shamitoson]

It’s way better than the esee 4 IMO. I hate the 4. Why does it have a choil? Block handles suck.

[@kyle-qw5yx]

where are you guys finding the garberg for $60? I haven't seen it for anything less than $80

[@chrissexton6634]

Drop that Amazon link and I am buying!!! I love my 511 don't need to buy another but probably will.

[@Project_2501]

Greatest feature of the Kansbol - it is ridiculously light weight! I have smaller knives that way 3 to 4 times as much! It is not small. It's extremely handy for carving and food prep, also works excellent with a ferro rod. AND - even if you have a "do it all" knife, I always have one attached to my GHB for in case you have somebody with you can use a good knife and because of the almost non-existing weight there is no excuse not to have it with you.

[@davidrogers182]

Per X-Ray kansbol is 3/4 tang, I love thin blade n it’s design! Great Review!

[@urbanlumberjack]

Moras sheaths are awesome and the kansbol is a fantastic design. I’m guess this guy doesn’t do much hunting because the grind at the tip is designed to make processing game easier. And then the blade transitions to a scandi grind for carving firemaking etc

[@butchhill5656]

I almost got a Kansbol last time I was at SMKW in Tennessee. But got a BK10, love it. I'm going to get a Kansbol next time. Hard to beat a Mora.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Excellent vid! It was my understanding that Mora released the Garberg at the request of the American market!

[@StevanOutdoor]

+Hiker Marapese. Probably could be right. Europeans know of other models that were full tang.

[@13bravoredleg18]

Love my Kansbol!

[@williamtowne4792]

Garberg carbon all the way !!! 👌

[@MakinHicks]

I gotta say the Kansbol has quickly become my most used fixed blade. Sometimes the best designs are the simplest.

[@fredriknyberg7258]

As a lot of you already claims the Kansbol shares the blade shape with the older model Mora 2000. From what I heard, back in the day Norway was a big export market for Mora. The Norwegians love outdoor life and wanted a blade for making sandwiches. So the odd shape of the front is made for the purpose of being a butter knife.

[@craftandnature]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@craptastic4527]

The Mora bushcraft forest also had this bladeshape, with the handle of the bushcraft. I hated that handle but love the garberg and kansbol handle

[@richardmcginnis5344]

why do people insist on smashing through wood with their knives? there is no need for it unless you're into abusing your property because all in all batoning is considered misuse by most makers and they won't replace it for this kind of thing

[@timothyhaskell8262]

From what I have heard, Giant Dwarves make these somewhere out in space. I might double check my source of information on this.

[@londontaylor6492]

Did you just say they aren't very capable of buttoning because I can tell you that those are absolutely great for buttoning

[@areus2016]

0:50 no, they are just Swedes.

[@larssmeets7909]

I started with a kansbol, great versatile knife, but i managed to snap the tang while prepping firewood. Luckily it happened close home, otherwise i would have been in trouble. Now i have the garberg, it is a much stronger k ife i can really depend on in the wilderniss.

[@kentfreier5705]

Just my thoughts. I have about 10 Mora's and I love them. But the scandi grind is no good for food prep. Can't slice thin meat and vegetables. I thought that is why the konsbol put the flat grind on the tip, for food. But I have not heard that from anyone.

[@justinbrewer6899]

serious question what is the 200 dollar more advance crafter knife your speakin of?

[@silvanigra]

At the end of the the day, the Companion is just as good! :))

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

totally agree, mines 10 years old and ive worked it so hard, no gimmicks just quality steel.

[@josephmountford2292]

Not just as good… it is a different design. There are differences.

[@mountainmanmcbeachfront5296]

Lmao to the elf forger naming joke

[@nuancolar7304]

I prefer a standard Mora with a thinner blade. As stated in the video, the Mora is not intended for heavy abuse so I take mine as part of a two-knife tandem...a Mora for lighter tasks and my Esee 5 for the tougher tasks.

[@TheLiberatedMonkey]

The Garberg is amazing. The sheath is out of this world in terms of function. I personally love the full tang. It’ll definitely be more durable than a partial when batoning over the long term. You also get the pommel on the back and at this point, you can get one for under $80 bucks. Cannot beat it. It will be the next one I get. No doubt. I already have an Enzo trapper which I use all the time and a mora black but no stainless steel blades for wetter conditions, this is the best choice. Bar none. Love your content! Keep posting stuff dude!

[@m.b.593]

Exactly. I don’t understand how a full tang is a gimmick especially when I’ve seen many videos praising it when batoning. Just ordered mine yesterday. 🙏🏻
