Mora Garberg - Good or bad? First Review

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

If you slide the retention strap off the sheath the belt loop will click into place and be very secure. It’s not designed to be installed on the sheath at the same time that the retention strap is.

[@MWoodslore]

Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors gonna do this😁

[@ebrak47]

The retention strap is used for when it's configured with the Molle rig.

[@johnschmalbach8243]

Yeah I have seen more than a few people on KZbin miss that. The point of the multimount, imo, is so you can be "confident" that it is secured if it is inverted, like my Kansbol on my pack's shoulder strap. If it's belt carry the "click" of the handle inside the sheath is more than enough. The belt loop can easily be stored anywhere, why sweat forcing it on with the snap retention, when being that low would make it totally useless for belt carry if you have a waist belt of a pack secured.

[@WasabiWei]

@@ebrak47 I own one and was about to post this. Absolutely correct. The belt loop locks into place definitively without the top-loop attachment in place. I would never use the top-loop retention if the knife was on my person. The knife locks into the sheath very solidly. I can't loosen it with normal activity. If I hold the sheath and execute a knife-throwing motion I can get the knife to come loose, but that amount of kinetic energy is not going to happen on the belt. It draws and re-sheathes absolutely perfectly. I have too many knives, Kydex included. The Garberg has the best retention I have ever come across in 30+ years collecting & using knives. The tradeoff between leather security and Kydex accessibility is no longer an issue.

[@TheToscanaMan]

Spot on... that's how it was intended to be installed. Not both at once.

[@CanadianPrepper]

Looks like a great knife and very affordable, I would use it for carving and smaller tasks, I'm not a knife guy I stick to 1 or 2 knives but its looks very practical.

[@MrNetnic]

@canadianprepper am I the only person noticing a lot of light reflecting off the full length of the edge (2.25 onwards). Is there a large microbevel, or has it not been fully ‘scandi ground’ - puzzled about the edge of this supposedly razor sharp blade.

[@James-ke5sx]

Mine has a small micro bevel on one side.

[@kai-uweoch1159]

If you should come to Mora in Sweden, check out their nice concept store right in the town center. Dangerous place for your wallet, but fortunately Mora knives are very reasonably priced! :-)

Hahahaha I just got one will be here in a few days I have other mora's now I'll have garberg!! Woop can't wait!!

[@jamieofalltrades536]

The steel is definitely built to last, Maura is well known for their quality. As long as you take care of the knife it will take care of you in my opinion. I think the handle is great on the Garberg personally, but they could have added a little something just before the blade. My biggest complaint about that knife is the thickness of the blade with the scandi grind, it will not cut anywhere near as easily as say the companion or their Bushcraft knife with a much thinner blade. But, it is supposed to be somewhere in between which I think it does very well. People complain about the carbon blades and say the stainless is better, personally I disagree because carbon is more versatile. I patented my blade using vinegar and mustard and my blade never rusts.

[@Gpknives]

The Garberg does fit the sheath for both right and left hand carry. I have to say that the multi-mount sheath is really fantastic too. Would definitely be my choice over the leather and offers several options for carry.

Polyamide is a type of group plastics. It's also used as the generic (non brand) name for nylon. The handle is probably nylon.

[@philoeolivarria448]

What are you talking about..the knife is perfect.....maybe your just used of using KITCHEN knives......

[@lorenray9479]

My kansbol does not hold an edge as well as the companion carbon. The inox stainless tends to roll over often and can be drawn back once. After that it gets micro chips. We have sandy clay, topsoil mix. Lots of forage, harvest at ground level. That wider edge would help strengthen the edge.

[@properpropaganda9831]

I agree. The lack of finger guard is the reason I did not buy this knife.

[@DX1895]

I got this knife a few weeks ago, its done very well for me so far. I've done a little bit of everything with it and its still razor sharp. Only difference is that I chose to get the leather sheath. Love it!

[@eva8973]

moraknivi I love the right choice 🤘👍🍀

[@benningsniper9516]

Don't like the Garberg. Too thick. Doesn't slice well. Much prefer the bushcraft or even the original companion. Higher scandi and thinner. Knives are for cutting. That's it. Batoning is completely unnecessary, especially if you bring a hatchet; which you ALWAYS should. The Garberg just doesn't cut as well as a knife should.

[@panpiper]

I apprenticed to a knifemaker for a year and a half in my youth. I am reasonably conversant with knives. I too have serious issues with knives that have no quillon to guard fingers from slippage.

[@timothylongmore7325]

Nice, you addressed everything I didn't like about it. If they changed everything you addressed I would be the first to buy one. Love my moras. Throw in a leather sheath and fero rod and I'm down. I,d like a little more angle in that scandi grind as well. Nice vid , keep it up Lil

[@pekkakettunen8332]

Hellou, Elisabeth! You must testing Mora Kansbol, for food prepping. Greetings, from Finland! 👍🔥

[@thomaslinton1001]

NOt an official BritishBlades "Scandi" grind as it clearly, and properly, has a traditional secondary bevel. A "survival" knife is a knife suitable for survival use. Cuts. Batons. Generates sparks with ferro rod. On what logical grounds is it not suitable for survival? None. A blade guard is unnecessary for draw cuts. Like most pocket knives. 1000s of years of user wisdom overruled by a Google/YouTub "personality." Fairly useless review. Dumb tip test. Good reason to buy one.

[@adamaj74]

I like the full tang. Also, a lot of bushcraft knives don't have much protection to keep your hand from slipping onto the blade. Bushcrafting just doesn't really require a lot of that kind of forceful stabbing motion.

[@DaMoose1015]

adamaj One deep cut of one or two main digits on your dominant hand. From that point on I'll wager you'll wish you'd had a good handle with a finger guard

[@adamaj74]

Use the correct knife for the job. If I'm doing something that requires me to use a motion (a forceful stabbing motion that would cause my hand to slip forward onto the blade) that could cause that kind of injury, then I'd use a knife with that protection. Bushcrafting rarely, if ever, requires that. Which is why bushcrafting knives don't have a prominent finger guard, or one at all.

[@beentheredonethat5908]

Just to sat something that you may not have thought about. I do agree the right tool for the right job, but when it comes to knives , how often do you think people besides military or criminals think of using a stbbing motion with a knife? I alwats add electric tape to the front of my handle to give me extra protection, just in case, and it's also leaves me with tape if I need it at some point in the field. It doesn't matter what your doing, the knife on your hip is your tool and protection, you may need to fight an animal or even a bad person in the woods, in my years I've crossed some crazies out there that I know had bad intentions. I don't carry much worth stealing while I'm out there, but car keys and a wallet may be enough for them, but the rifle on my back and knife on my hip make me a target not worth trying. My main safety issue is while sleeping, and honestly at that point my knife woukd save me faster then my gun m, if I'm grabbed or hear something last minute, the rifle woukd be useless, but my knife , always on my body while in the thick, would quickly be in hand and ready to do it thing. Let's be honest, I'm never gonna leave my hone equipped to stab, I am not buying a fighting knife just in case, but I'll add some tape to my bushcraft knife just in case.

[@bigglyguy8429]

Well that was a roller-coaster... decided against it with the handle issues, but loved the way the blade performed. I might get one...

[@m005kennedy]

I think in Sweden they consider knife guards should only be on children’s knives.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

I like the blade design for sure. I prefer wood handle myself rather than plastic but other than that yes.

[@TorArneHegna]

I think the concept with the belt loop and the securing loop, is that the securing loop is used if you carry the knife in the molle system or as a neck knife, and the belt loop when you use it as a normal belt knife. You only have bevels on the sheet for one of them at the same time.

[@martinmadsen4162]

I came across your video's a couple of weeks ago and have watched all I could find. I especially liked the knife evaluations. Life being strange, I recently received a free knife when I ordered another item. Having watched your videos' I was able to determine the worth of the knife by looking at the characteristics you pointed out in your video's. Thanks for helping me understand how to evaluate and choose a good knife.

[@quadcopterteamsweden5703]

Hey there. Bertel Gardberg is a designer for Mora and Fiskars and other knives. The Mora Gardberg is a carbon steel knife and the handle can be like that because Mora makes knives for all kind of duties. Slaughterknives are different from fishing knives or other knives that are being used in certain crafts. Here in Sweden you can buy Mora knives (Mora is a city) in every hardware shop and they do not cost that much.

[@desertrainfrog1691]

[@littlebull8881]

I've owned this knife for the best part of a year now, reliable strong keeps a good edge and the sharpest spine of any blade I've ever owned, the multi-mount is secured to the rear door of my land rover permanently, before doing that I wore the mount on a webbing strap diagonal across my chest for easy access for when working, on the day this mora arrived it wasn't in my hands five minutes and I had managed to impale it through my palm, stupidly I tried to remove the securing strap with the blade still in the sheath, it was at that point I realised the inside of my hand resembled uncooked chicken strands, a few stitches later, also they are a great company to deal with and problems that occur, I remember reading about a batch of steel that had been incorrectly hardened, quite a few people were concerned after striking ferrociem rod' they noticed scaring to the spine, Dave Canterbury was promoting the model at the time so it was dealt with promptly. I can honestly say I enjoy working with this Mora, it drew blood so I'm happily bonded and definitly the rightful owner. Best of the Mora without a shadow of doubt.

Hi Lilly, I love watching your channel. I think you're very knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining as well as enjoyable to watch. You talked about the Mora Garbherg and I'm of the opinion that it is a very good and sharp knife but I don't think it's worth the money. I feel you could do just about anything with a Mora Companion as you would with the Mora Garbherg other than having a full tang to use as a hammer. There are other thicker, longer blades and less pricier bushcrafting knives on the market that come with nicer handles and leather sheath . Don't get me wrong thinking I don't like Mora knives, I just think that you can get a different quality knife for less (JMHO). Keep doing what you do; it's great 👍

Hi! Interesting video, Thanks for sharing. I own this knife and I am on the process of testing and seeing if I will keep it. The thing that I least enjoy about this knife is the ergonomics of the handle, the sheath and the fact that the blade is a bit short in relation to the length - I agree with you on this. Despite this, it is a knife that I would trust on a survival situation.

[@crux85]

The security strap is to be used with the multi-mount system. If you remove that, you'll see that the sheath fits perfectly and wont fall out of the belt loop. Great video! Keep up the azing work!

[@kenparnell4297]

I like your reviews, being a large man I tend to carry a much larger knife than you do and I carry three fixed blade and one folder with me. The first fixed blade knife is very large and it might be more correct to call it a small sword or machete. It has a large, heavier blade so I can cut down trees with it if need be, process wood or dig a hole in the ground. My second is a bit smaller and thinner for things like processing game or, if the need should arise, self defense. My "small" knife is a Ka-Bar BK-9. My folders are cheap, from Walmart, I consider them to be disposable really. By that I mean if I loose one or it gets broken it's only a small loss and I usually have several of them in my pack and in my gear. I find that there simply is no single knife that performs all the tasks I ask of them. As far as using my knife to strike sparks with my ferro rod, I carry a flattened piece of hardened tool steel to strike with, that way I can not have top have a sharp back on my knife in case I strike it with my hand. Sometimes I forget, I'm not so young any more. Again, good job on your video. I'm a fan.

it's good review. this reminds me if the ww2 american navy knife . I also believe its good to change out your carry knife as your needs progress. how do you feel about the rule that you shod carry at least three knives , a trapper, a lg folder and a fixed blade ? I liked how well it shaved and sparked. all around I think your a good personality to have in these subjects. please continue your crafts and challenges.

[@MutsPub]

Raymon Herrera: I agree with multi knife system, 100%. FYI - I am looking (in hand) at the Mark1 vs Garberg ( Both are great virtually indestructible knives!!!). They are not really similar at all. MK1= 5" (12.7cm) saber ground clip point blade Military type knife, 1095 steel "Rat tail" blade, finger guard, shorter round "contoured broomstick" style handle, stacked leather handle on one and black "rubber" type material handle on the other, solid "hammer style" pommel, no lanyard hole, un-sharpened coated spine on newer version, parkarized coating on older version, cannot use ferro rod unless modified or on sharpened blade, new black handled versions come with a great "3 point" retention sheath, MK1 will rust easier (mine have not, they are maintained), etc., etc. I prefer the MK1, I own several models, inc. WW2 version (all highly recommended). However, if your palm is wider than 4" (~10cm) the handle will be to small. Garberg - Scandi grind better for bushcraft, MK1 - Saber grind better all around camp use? I agree with Lily on the handle, it needs more "girth" at the blade for comfort and to prevent finger injury. Not a deal breaker. MK1 is more of a weapon/tool, Garberg is more of a tool that could be a weapon.

Hi.... Just finding your channel to day though facebook....Watched one of your Survival Shelter videos 3 times. Will be checking out more when get chance...You have another follower...Thanks for the great videos...

[@jwchoidx]

I watched your channel from the beginning, and enojyed a lot. Garberg is fantastic blade, but it doesn’t suit to your needs in my opinion. You use knife as a tool for various purposes not only cutting, slicing, and scandi grind is simply not strong enough to take those kind of tough tasks. I have lots of Moras and other Pukkos and enjoy them a lot. But if I have to take only one kinfe under “situation”, I won’t take Mora, but other saber grind blade with secondary bevel such as SRK, Prodigy, Strongarm, etc.. Don’t get me wrong. I won’t be disappointed even with Mora companion. But, for mid sized blade, high grind saver with secondary v edge geometry looks like more suitable for Survival Lily’s use. ;)

[@puma1304]

are there absolute boundaries for assessing a measure of quality? NO it will always depend on context. There are many fancy blades out there but for me Mora offers one of the best price-quality-functionality equations, and that is why most of my knives are now moras... (I'm a fan of scandinavian knives anyway, US rambos are a no-go) I would NEVER pay 200 or 300 euros, if a mora kansbol can do the job for 45 or a garberg for 100... even the cheapest 511 is still a VERY good knife for its price (15 Euros). And about the batoning issue: I have never understood why people want to torture their knives so much... I grew up in latinamerica and there we use machetes for EVERYTHING, as they would be swiss pocket knives... and I would never leave home without one!

[@patrickcosgrove9180]

Hi Lilly, I did buy my Gargerg in part on your review. I liked your take on the carry system. First, I was really torn between the multi-mount and the leather...the leather sheath is really handsome, but I thought for access to the knife while carrying the pack I would have to carry on my shoulder strap because my hip belt restricted access to the knife when worn on the belt if I was carrying my pack also. Many people seem to be saying that a person couldn't have the belt loop and knife restraint over the plastic sheath at the same time, and they would show themselves switching in and out as they loaded/removed the carry case from the multi-mount...which is annoying and run the risk of losing pieces. So, after all, simple a little glue to the belt loop make this a perfect knife carry case combo. Have you had any problems with the glue you used...now four years ago:)

[@semco72057]

I like the thickness of the blade and it seem to be perfect for cutting with too. I noticed one guy's knife and it had the spot where you could use a bow drill in that spot and create a fire using the knife for support and like that idea. I have many knives and one of the things I looked for was it's thickness of the blade, and the length of the blade also. Another thing I look for is the sheath it comes in and they all all have nice leather sheaths and the knives are long enough to cut through wood blocks. That knife have a nice blade, but the handle seem to be narrow and there isn't enough length to cut through some wood due to it's short length. It seem to be a nice knife though and I would probably buy it for general use. The best knife I have is a Buck brand made in the USA. and the next best knife is one made in Japan and having a decent blade length also. The one knife I have on one military utility belt is one sold by a German company, but made in China though. I am careful about what I get from China due to their quality records which isn't great, but I hope the companies doing business there make sure their quality standards are met when they are made.

Instead one would say: "Tune in next time for the next video" :)

A nice knife for bushcraft but NOT a survival knife. I would hate it if I had to engage someone or something with a knife with no guard. If you do a thrust attack and your hand slips up on that blade you're gonna be in a world of hurt. With that said, I still would like to have one just to have a great camp knife.

[@richardhenry1969]

I love so much of her content. Yet her idea about survival knife is very far off. You don't need a huge blade to survive. It's more about what you know then what you carry. The mora will do anything you need in any environment. Yes some knives might be better in certain places. But this knife can do any task need to keep you alive. I didn't get one for awhile because I thought they were overpriced. When I got mine I paid $55. For the multi-mount system. Love the knife I believe it will last my lifetime.

[@micheletennis87]

Hi, I wanted to know what is your vote for this 14C28N steel for bushcraft / survival knives? Thanks Michele

[@grumpyoldwizard]

They have leather sheath option. It is a very nice sheath with a flap covering the handle. You should test that. The thing about the handle is that it is a very hard plastic, not the usual Mora handle that is hard in the middle and grippy on the outer part. I totally agree about the choil. Scandis use these knives for draw cuts; something people dont usually do. It needs a deep choil or guard on the blade. I have one and I noticed this also. It’s not for hard work unless you are a pro scandi user.

[@countrywideboy]

Previous stainless Mora's, didn't hold the edge on the blade, compared to the carbon steel mora's, I could gut a 100 rabbits in one sitting , on one sharpen with the carbon steel, but the stainless got blunt very quick around 25 rabbit's...

[@SkyKing101010]

Hi Lilly. I agree with you on every point on this knife. I think it's really quite impressive, except for the two obvious points you mentioned (blade length and reverse the handle). When you were working the feather stick you were having trouble making thin cuts. I thought to myself, "Turn it over and use the back edge." and immediately you did exactly that. I was impressed. Well, that's my opinion, for what it's worth.

[@JAD1225]

Like Blue Mountain Bushcraft said": The retention strap is for carrying upside down with lanyard through those drain holes.l Then the belt loop can be used for carrying on the belt. It is designed to be used either way one prefers to carry it, but you cannot do both at the same time. Nice knife; basically an ESEE 4 in stainless.

Love your videos Lilly !!! Always so much valuable information. Have you tested the USMC KA-BAR ? I've had mine for 30+ years and have put it through hell. It has never failed me. Would love to know your opinion of this knife. Keep up the great work !!!

[@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!!

[@Darignobullseye]

Wow. Great knife! Maybe it batons better because it's a thicker wedge. Thank you for video

These are around $ 100 in Sweden. Probably only costs around $ 5 to make. I would rather buy a $ 5 Mora instead, which is the same size. Plus a cheap hatchet.

[@samstewart4444]

In my opinion (and that of most knife manufacturers) is that a knife is for carving wood, slicing food, and skinning game. Batonning and chopping is best done with a small hatchet. The Holy Trinity of bushcraft tools are a knife, a hatchet, and a small saw. There are various sizes of all these tools, in fact I have a knife, saw, and wedge on my key ring for everyday carry. I have used my key ring knife to carve trap triggers and to skin small game,even though the blade is only 4.2 cm long. I have used my small wedge to pry boards off a pallet and to split off pieces from the board. My most often used item is my tiny saw (only 4.8 cm long) which I have used to cut plastic pipes and hoses, to make "seven" cuts and notches when making trap triggers, to cut notches in fire boards when I am making friction fires, and to square off the ends of branches so they are easier to split.

Been using one for a while now -- great knife! Thanks for the video, Lilly; good job on the review!

*I like the knife and would buy it, however, the handle looks ill conceived and cheap... I'll stick with my K-BAR!*

[@animistchannel2983]

It's a hatchet blade on a skinny knife handle, with no guard. No good for fine/detail work, and it's just begging to cut the user. Thank you for showing this video, but I will stay away from any design like that. That is the worst of both worlds.

[@robertanderson2285]

Looks like a great knife, as I'm a fan of Mora knives, and they usually perform as designed. Please be careful when testing the blade, Lilly. I'd hate to see you dodging a flying knife. Great revue!

[@jimihenrik11]

I wish they would make the garberg without the ricasso and a more convexed grind. That would be a perfect Alrounder outdoor knife.

Good review, I like Mora knives they are good quality for the price, I currently use their smallest the Eldris, great for all the jobs in the garden and around the house as well as for gutting fish, rabbits and chickens

I hate the "tip test". Carry a screwdriver for crying out loud. LOL Nice review Lilly. Thanks.

[@3flashcan]

Sorry Lilly , People are foolish to be batoning with there knife . Broke it you are screwed . There is just to much small and medium branches and twigs to be doing that . If you have to baton a log you shouldn't do it unless you have no other choice . And many many other survival people will tell you that . Also small to medium size limbs put out as much BTU's as a log . Why because the gain to the branches are tight and it takes longer for there to burn down. So you should think about batoning before you do it . It's just not necessary to do so . And I know you are doing it for demonstration . But why start a bad habit when you don't need too.

I was looking to get this knife but got the Bushcraft Black instead... It has a more pronounced finger choil and I think a better grip... Not worried that it's not a full tang... I have batoned the crap out of it on some really hard knotty wood and it has performed flawlessly... Very sharp spine for striking a fero rod or scraping up some fat wood... Guess I just like a good carbon blade...

[@blueduck9409]

Lilly, i would like for you to give us a video on the top 10 best bush craft / survival knives. Maybe a top 10 best survival / bush craft gear video too.

[@tobiasball5225]

Thank you for the video. I appreciate and enjoy the knife reviews, even though that tip test was tortuous. Well done and keep it up.

[@seandwyer2020]

I am not a prepper/survivalist, so I defer to my betters on this subject. While I am sure that a knife must endure many hardships in this field, I cringe when a blade is driven into a stump and beaten. It's downright painful to watch.

[@N7Tigger]

It's a great knife but I got the Bushcraft Black. The only significant difference is it is not full tang. But the Garberg is three times the price and it is definitely not three times better. And I actually prefer the Bushcraft Black's handle.

[@fv7594]

Why is everyone complaining about the lack of finger guard? Its just in the way when u do stuff reverse grip or other.. Only way i imagine you can cut ur hand is when youre stabbing something and lose the grip.

[@theephemeralglade1935]

Survival Lilly. Because survival isn't supposed to be fun. Smiling and humor are for the sissy man. Lol.
