Mora Bushcraft Knife Choices - The Kansbol & Eldris Compared

[@woodsinthewoods5337]

The thought that I would someday see the eldris being used as a throwing knife has never once occurred to me. Put a smile on my face! 😂

[@simplestatic3751]

I don't know how I have never seen any of your videos before today. I was looking for videos on the mora scout and found your video on it. Great practical information. Thanks

[@caniaccharlie]

I got the Kansbol for Christmas and bought myself an Eldris shortly after and am loving both! They are great fire starting knives! I have been carrying the Eldris ever day in my pocket and really enjoy it. Having to take it in and out of the sheath isn't as big of a deal as I first thought it would be.

[@deenoberry3360]

Once again you've spent my money for me. Ive had a 511 in the past but love the garberg shape but never considered the karasbol but I'm buying one tomorrow.

[@oldgoat8861]

I like my Kas knife for whittling with out camping. I'm old and big, this knife made me more than one spoon, whistle, and cooked a many meal. The blade is versatile for that. Never saw that smaller one before..probably better for whittling and small choirs. Nice video.

[@jeffsmith6441]

I have them both and I have no complaints whatsoever. Definitely worth the money.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree

[@roofields8468]

Thanks Brian I bought an Eldris today.

[@bowhunter_vavirginia6189]

Hey Bryan👋😎 I was given the Eldris as a gift, and quite honestly, I wasn't impressed at first. I started carrying it as a neck knife when hiking, and was surprised to find how many tasks I was using it for on the trail. When deer season came around, I threw it in my pack and forgot about it until I killed a deer, and found I left my trusty field dressing knife on the sharpening bench. The little Eldres knife took care of the field dressing without any problems at all, in fact its small size gives much better control inside the body cavity when harvesting the internal organs. The grip was far superior and safer to use than most other knives when dealing with slippery conditions like the ones hunters experience. Thanks for the honest reviews and keep poking fun at the metric crowd! I love that sarcastic humor!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Some apparently don't

[@ryanhull1381]

I had a similar incident happen with me last deer season. My cousin got a deer and he was having trouble skinning it. I had my Eldris hanging around my neck and started helping him skin his deer. It did very well. It was still hair shaving sharp after I finished. That proved to me it would make a great emergency situation knife.

[@waldo7873]

I bought 2 of the eldris for my boys for Christmas, they're good knives,not only for adults but for kids also.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

indeed

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

I wear my Kansbol in the chest mount configuration...it’s awesome in rain gear, winter clothes and when carrying my pack. Good knife. I have them both and there is nothing they can’t do.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@TheWaggaBloke]

Both of theses blades are Designed this way for skinning Games. You sharpen the Blades as you would do another Blade just Concentrate on the cutting edge of the Blade and don’t let the shape of the overall Blade confuse you into to thinking you need to sharpen it differently. I just love my Mora’s been using them for now for over 50 years Totally Brilliant Knifes

[@julianpetkov8320]

Brian is my favorite reviewer. I don't know how he managed to throw the Swedish steak knives, but he did it! 😁👍

[@JimRodgers]

I've been using the Morakniv Eldris for several months now. It's a great knife. I made a custom kydex neck sheath for it, just for fun. Great review of both of these knives, thank you.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for watching.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Love this video, I just got a kansbol to go with an eldris I have had for 2 years it's amazing little knife my fav camp knife.

[@adammcguinness9950]

Both of those knives are fantastic. I think the Kansbol might out preform the Garberg in general use. The tapered blade is great for slicing.

[@Nanakiyami]

The Kansbol is all I want in an allround knife and comes at a great price. The Garberg might be cool and all, but it ain't worth the money. It's an overpriced people pleaser made specifically for the American market where people value a full tang above all else so they can abuse their blades. And the only way you'll ever break a mora is from improper use. So the Kansbol wins.

[@DeathFisk]

Yes, you said it correctly the first time. Pretty good pronounced too! Great video, thank you!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thank you for watching

[@45ACP_9mm]

I've had my Eldris for a few months now and I wear it as a neck knife while doing yard work, etc. I have the green colored one and it's a very useful knife. I put a ranger band on the handle and I measured it perfectly where the sheath still retains the blade and the ranger band doesn't cover the lanyard hole. When I first got the knife I sharpened it and stropped it to shaving sharp and last weekend I cut up a big single walked box and when I was done I stropped it using green compound (even though it still sliced paper) because it wasn't shaving sharp. I payed $17 for it on Amazon because I was looking for a neck knife and since I already had a Mora Companion I knew that price was worth it for the Mora quality. Another good video.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@Scashod]

I have the Eldris and, like all Moras, it's a great knife. ~~Susan

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree Susan. I was really surprised at how useful it is

[@thewalmsleys]

Love the reviews you do and your style. You got me wanting to toss knives around. Thank you and hope you keep up the good work on your reviews.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Just toss them

[@1eyedjacksRwild]

Nice throwing!

[@butchhill5656]

Got both and love both. Great to use, my wife wants a Eldris with a blue handle. Mora knives just work!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes they do

[@haroldmiller6853]

I got the eldris last summer and it's on my neck daily but it hangs tip down I used ranger bands then wrapped it with 550 fire cord so the lanyard runs up the side and also have a fire steel up the back of it . I truly use this knife daily or everything thanks for the vid always good to see a balance test

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

it was fun

[@Tracy81258]

Another great review Brian. I have both knives and they’re both terrific tools for camping and bushcraft tasks. I have been forcing myself to carry the Eldris as my primary tool because it reminds me of the knife Otzi the ice man was found with, so it intrigued me to see exactly how much could be done with so small a blade. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how capable it has been so far, given my own limitations skills wise.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I know what you mean

[@yakoobjunior9631]

Brian, this very well demonstrated video on the two mora knives had me subscribed to your channel. BTW, thanks to your video I just bought the Eldris model knife. Cheers mate 👍🏼

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Hey Brian, A quick tip for you on the Eldris... If you want a bit more handle, put the knife in the sheath backwards ans it acts as an extension. Great video (as always) and thanks for sharing!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@redsorgum]

When I get home, I’m going to try this. Thanks for the tip.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

My pleasure. If you would like, maybe check out my channel at kzbin.info/door/DReIfa5UipgOMD9iHnHPXQ.

[@mickmoo]

Hi Bryan, greetings from London, England! I love your channel, reviews are always honest and informative. As a morakniv owner myself (I own the Kansbol amongst others) I really enjoyed the balance test on the Eldris (see that little thing fly!). Thinking about getting me one of them...Keep up the good work...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. It was fun watching the Eldris fly

[@grumpyoldphart7325]

Good job Bryan. I love those Mora knives.

I'm really beginning to love smaller knives over big ones. It would be great to see you review Joker knives (Spain). I have the Joker Bushcrafter and the Erizo. Fantastic quality/cost ratio.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Noted!

[@manifestgtr]

I have an eldris and it’s great for several things. Obviously, carving is no problem but what I really like is the ability to keep it around my neck while fishing. Yank it out, trim up a bait real quick, cut off a compromised leader, hack off the weed pile a bass dragged in with him...there are a million little things and it’s right there.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is handy

[@Tinkering902]

I really like the red, wish I could find a kansbol in that colour.

[@jasonleedham5678]

Metric! I was brought up here in the UK with both, starting work at 16 the old skilled boys used inches, so I did, now I flit between the two. I hate it when people hate on either system. Metric is easier to work with, which is why I think Inches should be taught in schools, those fractions stretch your mind! Here they teach Centimetres in schools, but industry uses Millimetres, and cars drive miles, and we talk about MPG, yet buy fuel in litres..... Oh nice review BTW

[@alyxchristophe4385]

Jason, the joke was actually making fun of us in the US and himself for taking so blipping long to switch. kind of like a backwards jab. I am US and think it is funny when I hear it. however, it is true that some find it difficult to laugh at themselves.

[@johnweiser170]

Hi Brian, allways like a good morkniv video. I have been lookig into buying a biger EDC fixed blade but is under 10". I have narroed it down to two knifes, the CRKT Ruger Powderkeg with the clip point, and the Cold Steel Kobun. There are some good reviews on the Cold Steel Kobun but not any on the CRKT Ruger Powderkeg. If you could get the CRKT Ruger Powderkeg for a review or at blade show for a in hand look would help. Thanks.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

We will see

[@TheChadWork2001]

I like the secondary bevel at the end of the Kansbol. If it were full tang, I would have purchased it instead of the Garberg.

[@TheChadWork2001]

I ended up getting an Eldris and a Kansbol in addition to the Garberg.

[@petemcpherson2259]

I have an Eldris I love it. And I gotta tell ya if anyone can balance an Eldris it's you Brian!

Thanks

[@krispybeats6615]

tnx 4 sharing, they both look nice and price is good too.

[@fatmangaming2720]

Got both those knives in my collection. The Eldris has become one of my favorite blades to carry. Been using it every since the came out it has served me very well. Probably the best knife out there that size. Kansobl is an ok knife for knives that size there's better options out there.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yep, The Eldris is a handy knife

[@davidrogers182]

Brian, Excellent Review Sir!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@onseki1774]

The Eldris cuts significantly different than I expected, out of the box the edge was unsatisfactory through cardboard. One sharpening and two strops later and there's a lot less resistance but it still doesn't feel nice like a kansbol/garberg. Will not cut double layered corner boxes! Even a delica will do that! I see it as a non optional companion to one of the above knives for doing detailed work, push cuts, personal grooming, cutting cordage, opening packaging, etc so you don't even waste your main knive's hone

[@Omniblade_Gaming]

That lil small one looks really good.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is surprisingly useful

[@kennywheelus6857]

Yeah im ordering a little blue one Brian,i love how unique it is,i saw chris tanner on prepared mind 101,they had a black one using it to carve a spoon with it.

Hey brian,hello again,one thing to note is that on tje eldris is you can put the handle of the eldris in its sheath for a longer handle so if you have much larger hands im guessing,just thought you might like tjat trick

Re units of measurements-I agree with you that some people get really riled up about it.It can be quite important though-just ask NASA contractors-causes all sorts of inconsistencies/problems if two parties use different units!Good review-bought a companion after research-Cheers.

[@alexandercarder2281]

I’m having trouble sharpening the end grind of the blade. But it’s the same for me with all my blades. I can get the scandi grind hair shaving sharp but the last end bit I can’t. Same with my Garberg and Eldris and companion ☹️ can anyone help me. (Actually I’ve just figured it out 🤣)

[@chocol8thunda]

Does the Kansbol belt loop fit the Eldris sheath? I have the Kansbol and would like to get the edlris light duty for work.

Been looking at that neck knife mora makes I got the garberg it’s ok imo, but thanks again for the review I might just purchase the smaller one

[@sweetcostarica]

I have used both knives & find the Kansbol very useful & really capable as an all round knife. LOVE the kansbol handle. I find *the Eldris is not so good.* A folding knife, milti-tool, or a SAK is much better than the limited Eldris. So the Mora Kansbol = thumbs up And the Mora Eldris = thumbs down In my humble opinion. *EDIT:* Happy Independence Day!!

Sandvik is a brand of steel, not a type. The Sandvik steel used for these knives is 12C27, a common stainless steel for MORA and other Nordic knives, suitable for blanking out blades.

Kansbol is mora version of all round knife. Eldris is a secondary knife to have when you have a bigger knife like the garnsber

[@mattadams8123]

Great video I have both of these knifes and love them! I was unsure about the eldris but I use that knife a ton and always carry it. Either in a pocket or I added a belt clip to the sheath and carry it on my hip. It has become my favorite morakniv.

[@kennywheelus6857]

I love these two,getting a garberg,next,Brian do you tomahawk reviews too,no one on youtube I can think of has one of this tomahawk, it's the m-48 liberator infantry tomahawk on amazon, it's roughly 52.00,ty for the review thought I'd ask,great on the the knife throws.

[@MI_Prepper]

The tip portion I think is for like skinning, meat, and food prep. The Eldris looks like the knife you didn't realize you needed until you bought it.

[@escapetherace1943]

realized you didn't need it you mean. The eldris is worthless for anything but whittling, where a classic wood carving knife is much better.

[@stevegareau123]

Good video Brian 👍🖒

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@janisukanen884]

Awesome Bryan! Great review :) I believe Kansbol is like an improved version of 2000 and I like it a lot ( 2000 is my favorite Mora for game processing because of the thinner tip of the blade) The blade shape and angle are really great for all kinds of tasks. The Eldris...I think there is some shopping to be done. I like the compact size, the blade shape and angle. But the way it seems to carve and make feathers. I really wanna try one now :) I like neck knives in generally. I might go for the version with the kit. ( I usually have a ferro rod with my neckers) Together the Kansbol and the Eldris would make a really nice light weight stainless combo. Would make nice camp and bushcraft combo for my son too :) Thank you for sharing! Big thumbs up! Ps. :D metric or inches, engines run, planes fly, knives cut and life goes on. Funny to think it is such a big deal that someone gets triggered because of that. Lol.
