Moras are the only knives that make me think "Damn I really only paid $____ for this thing?!"

[@J.sh_CDN]

Only problem I've has is actually finding a Mora 2000 in Canada. The few I do find are the same or even more expensive than the Kansbol. The Mora Bushcraft Forest (same blade) is even more expensive

[@coverbw]

Kansbol is an amazing knife. It's hard to justify taking an expensive knife out hunting when these are so light and perform so well. I've given one to all my friends and family that hunt!

[@J.sh_CDN]

I also love it, was really worried about sharpening it, but it takes to a diamond stone just as easy as my full scandi grind knives! I've been wanting Mora to do a flat grind for a while, to the point where I'm very excited to see Victorinox do a "Flat Grind Garberg" the Kansbol, while only half a flat grind, is still much cheaper than the Garberg or the new Victorinox, and I'd argue just as good.

[@ulary]

It is really expensive here and hard to get 😭

[@TheWibbo]

the kansbol is just a prettied up mora 2000

[@J.sh_CDN]

@@TheWibbo true, and if you can find a Mora 2000 on sale for cheaper, I'd personally just buy that. Haven't had much luck with that myself. There is also a Bushcraft version, with the Mora bushcraft handle and the Mora 2000 blade

[@Heimdall_edc]

I had almost every Mora so far (except the new wood line) and the only ones i've kept are the Companion (ugly user), the Classic #1 (tradition, culture and history) and the Kansbol (Do-it-all and camping)

[@carlcypher]

Companion and Kansbol are my favorites, we have a couple Kansbol as camp kitchen/fire prep knives.

[@J.sh_CDN]

Those 3 knives sound like a perfect way to experience all that mora has to offer. I'm glad you included the Classic in there, it seems great to have a more traditional Puuka, while still not costing a ton to replace if they do break. Plus the smooth handles sometimes actually are much easier on the hand when doing a lot of hard work. The grippy handles can actually start to blister you when using them for a long time. Companion is just classic, comfy, really useful sheath with the clip and cheap. Kansbol is amazing for a do it all. I pretty sure it's the same size and handle as the Garberg but with added rubber grip, so I really don't see the need to ever get a Garberg.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

@grayssoncarl5020, It’s funny that you mention the sheath costing more than the knife, because I have a custom Kydex sheath with ferro holder for the Companion. I don’t imagine a time where I won’t want to carry the Companion and the odds of it going out of production are slim to none. When the one I have gets worn or lost, I can cheaply replace it into my awesome Kydex sheath lol.

[@clintwestwood3539]

Completely agree, but I’d suggest you to try the 2000 and you’d see some improved cutting abilities (I guess the finishing on the 2000 vs Kansbol does make a difference somehow) and the handle being more comfortable than the Kansbol. They are my favorite moras too btw, the light my fire and 2000. Good choices!

[@MB-jg4tr]

I agree, the Mora2000 is a better knife than the Kansbol. I like the rounded spine as I always have something else to scrape a ferrocerium rod, the handle is much more comfortable, and the mirrored finish adds to the slicing ability. Also, I like the riveted leather belt loop.

[@23Scadu]

The Mora 2000 is a bit cheaper too. Personally I think the Kansbol has a slightly more comfortable handle, not to mention a far better looking one. I thought the tree bark texture on the 2000 looked cool compared to regular Moras when I first saw it back in the 90s, but it doesn't quite hold up today.

[@J.sh_CDN]

@@23Scadu agreed with the Kansbol looking better. Though they released a Mora anniversary 2000 in all black that looked pretty good too of you can find one

Thanks for the reviews on these. My pathfinder is also at the bottom of the list, but I do really like the sheath I have mine in a very comfortable dangler position. Quick use tip, the loops on the sheath are double loops. Run the strap down under the bottom loop to where you want. Then fold the double tab at the end of the strap back and use the double loop to lock in place.

*the Mora2000 (precursor to the Kansbol) is a better knife overall* It has a mirrored finish blade which adds to its cutting/slicing ability, a rounded spine for thumb comfort, and the neutral handle is much more comfortable.

[@just9911]

Eh, I think it depends a bit on what you are looking for. I love my 2000, but the handle on the kansbol is more comfy for me and I like the way a kansbol strikes a firesteel. They’re both great, it really comes down to the individual about which is best while both still working well for everyone.

[@gunner4373]

I agree. The 2000 is more comfortable, slightly better slicer and I prefer it as well.

[@marekduczman]

For me, Mora 2000 has too soft and round a handle. I prefer Kansbol. My other favorite moras are Mora 510, Classic , and ......Bahco 2444 😁(Mora Clipper)- A thinner companion.

[@samuelgustavsson1483]

What knife that fits you the best, depends a lot on your hands. I prefere the 2000. But when i use my Mora knifes i always carry two of them, because there so light. One 2000 to keep sharp and one cheap basic to use more as a ”tool”. If the basic break, i buy a cheap new one.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Mora's are the knives the knife guys use when they don't want to ruin their nicer one. True workhorses. Comfy grips, strong enough, cheap enough. Companion is the best for me, basic stainless for tossing in random bags and stuff. The classic is a future desire, perhaps. I like classy old knives, like opinel and buck. Comfier handles on the old style ones as well, though mora didn't lose that yet.

[@NorthStarKnifeReviews]

Good overview. I’d rank the Eldris higher, because I like it as a neck Knife option. Carrying small blades like this around the neck is common in Scandinavia (and some places in the northern US) when hiking in winter. Easy access right under your coat.

[@MB-jg4tr]

The blade is too small for me, the handle is nice and full, but you just don't have enough room for push cuts

[@TexturedTitanium]

Have you tried the Bushcraft Forest? It has the blade of the kansbol and the handle of the Bushcraft black. Definitely my favorite Mora!

[@AlexSwanson-rw7cv]

It's easy to weave the strap on the back of the Pathfinder to make a belt loop at the top of the sheath. Go down under the top layer of the top two horizontal straps, then over the third and back up under the bottom layer of the third. Pull tight from the top to make the belt loop and the thick part of the end of the strap locks everything in place.

[@ssu7653]

Have the basic as a "toolknife" at work, 30sec with a wonky old stone and its good to go. Use it daily to cut tough hoses (if its made from anything but metal, chances are i cut it with that knife) Out layer on hydraulic hoses, cut like butter. Hoses used for abrasive material (rock/gravel transport) or just about anything else. After about 3 years it is 2-3mm narrover from sharpening, but no sign of it struggeling to get the job done with minimal effort

I like the pathfinder, id put it up there with the bushcraft black. Its fun to play around with due to its tank like structure lol. Although im not a fan of the handles, they just don't fit my hand quite right. Otherwise im pretty much spot on with your assessment. Great minds must think alike🙂 Ps i still can't believe mora made a $200 knife 😂

[@grepora]

I find the handle on the Mora Bushcraft creates a hot spot between my index and middle fingers. If the handle did not swell perpendicular to the blade, I think it would be more comfortable for me. Also, I don't like the handle on the Mora Companion HD -- it is just too pregnant. The Mora Companion handle is more comfortable for me. BTW: I have the Bushcraft Orange (stainless steel) because I live near salt water. Another great thing about it is I can use the sheath for emergency signalling because anyone can see it from a mile away -- it is so bright. Visually, it is the exact opposite of the Bushcraft Black.

I have 4 Moras; Bushcraft Black, Garberg, 2000 and Eldris. I bought the 2000 over the Kansbol and I love it. Biggest Mora disappointment to me is the Garberg. I have the exact same version as you and it doesn't get used when I have the 2000 and the Bushcraft Black in the line up. I want to love the Eldris but I agree the handle is too small for me. Thanks for posting.

[@StonrMoose69]

The elders is a perfect skinnin knife its gotta thicker handle for not getting carple tunnel while dressing a carcass you can also get one of the same belt loops that the kansbol has and wear it as a belt knife

For skinning, are you using the regular or the light duty eldris?

[@benmacdhui]

Agree with the Kansbol, my favourite Mora of the three I own. A Garberg in carbon coming behind it. The third being an Eldris, handy to have in a tackle or tool box. But you're right Pete, in that a pocket sheath would be good addition

[@J.sh_CDN]

I always wonder if you made your own Eldris after you beat up a normal Mora too badly.... it would probably be just as good and still cheaper with more handle.

[@BradGryphonn]

I've had my Companion in my tool box for ages. That's very sociable of me to have my companion trapped in a box, so I'm going to pull it out and use it again.

[@slaskanton8738]

You're missing the best mora; the mora 2000!!!! It's in every hunters belt in Sweden. (it's nothing special really, it's like a kansbol but a more polish finish to the blade). Love your videos, keep it up

[@StevanOutdoor]

It's all personal of course but it's a good presentation of some models. I don't like the 'spark' models because a replacement firesteel is small, has to be Mora and is expensive. My favorites are the Companion in stainless and the Basic 546. The Eldris LightDuty is nice for pocket carry or as small back up knife but already on the expensive side.

[@KM-oi9ks]

I like this, I wish more content creators cut the BS and got straight to the point. Thank you!

[@xONEWINGx]

The reason tangs protrude around the edges on most production, machine made knives is because of the tolerances and fixture types. In handmade or hand finished knives that are glued it's easy to give them a flush finish. This is much much harder on a bolted on handle where even a tiny over or undershoot will easily be felt (hands are super sensitive to it).

[@s.h.v.c2865]

For wood handled machetes such as Tramontinas, they leave the wood proud of the tang which I think is a better option, at least then you can put some time in yourself with a file or and make it nice and flush (and round the blocky handle while you're at it). Keeps the price down but still leaves material to shape how you want.

[@brightargyle8950]

The Kansbol and 2000 are tops in my book, love them both. Close second for me is the Companion.

[@MB-jg4tr]

I usually cut off the rear guard on the Pro line knives like the Robust, then melt the rubber a little to smooth it out. It doesn't look great but who cares, it helps with different grips.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

did anyone else buy the garberg to be hugely disappointed at how blunt the thing was out the box?, i got 2 of them and the sharpness was piss poor on both.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

I only have one, but it was extremely sharp on arrival. Also, removing the secondary bevel allows for razor sharpness (and of course makes the edge a bit less durable).

[@CC-en2lj]

Quite interesting at the very end I was like holy crap that mora spark in that exact color is my fav also. It really is amazing. I also love the “companion carbon” which is $14 usd and you put in vinegar and it turns black, cover with mineral oil. Looks so nice. Also easily ground down the spine to 90 degrees and throws sparks all day.

[@Moleskineman]

Eldris needs some more love from the camping/bushcraft world. It's small but it's very capable. It's my go-to for almost everything. Best fixed-blade camp knife I've ever had, I love it. I think a lot of guys just want bigger knives because...they want a bigger knife, not because they _need_ a bigger knife.

[@prado.offroad]

got my companion here in AU about 15 years ago was my favourite fixed blade for a long time, did everything as needed, recently upgraded to a the Kansbol, which i love, only thing the 90 deg spine is a pain in the thumb on push cuts, ive rounded the first inch near the handle to make it more comfortable whilst still being able to use the spine for tinder scraping and striking a ferrro. thank you for the honest assessment of the mora range, starting to question my desire for a Eldris, time will tell😀

[@tckoppang]

Oh, man, I love the Eldris! Not a neck-knife because of the thickness, but a great small knife to stick wherever. I bounced off the Garberg based on comfort and price. I like the Kansbol better. And I could just by Companions all day.

[@jackekdahl395]

Nice video! Thanks. I have said it before. I think the Ash Wood series was a marketing genius move from Morakniv. Everybody bitched about the price of the Garberg when it came out, but now that you can get it for around 70 euros or dollars (at least in Sweden), it suddenly doesn't look like such a a bad deal when they're putting out inferior knives for 4 times the price...

[@J.sh_CDN]

It did me me consider a Garberg better steel and far cheaper... but I still can't convince myself to pay that much more for a bit more metal on the tang. Even the Kansbol I had to wait and convince myself to spend the $60 canadian on it, when I was finding Companions for $20 and the occasional Bahco branded mora Companion for $13.

[@jackekdahl395]

I understand what you mean and I would never pay more than 80 euros for it (assuming they are still made with 14C28N)... However, people just think it's expensive because it is made by Morakniv. Had it been made by a more premium brand nobody would bat an eye. All things considered I think it got a bit of a bad reputation because until that point people had certain brand expectations. What I think Morakniv intended with the new Ash Wood line of knives was to reset those expectations. Maybe I'm wrong and they are simply unrealistic money-grabbers, or maybe they actually puled a brilliant stunt...

The wild mouse knife makes an appearance. No idea why Mora is being so cryptic with their knife steels. Very silly and leaves a bad taste in the mouth of this knife steel nerd. No way I would spend on a Garbeg again when I dont even know what steel it is.

[@gordonmacdowell8117]

I've got a bunch of different Moraknivs and the Kansbol is my favourite. The Heavy Duty Companion is probably more knife than most people will ever need camping and I used to use the Bushcraft as my backpack knife for years. The Mora Craftline Chisel is pretty cool too. I don't like the Spark, because I often store the cheaper Moras (Companion, Robust, and Basic) in sheds on the property, as work station knives, so there's always a knife handy. The problem is they're where they will also be used by other people, and I don't want someone playing with fire, and burning a shed down because they were bored.

[@urbanoutdoorsman]

I've struggled a little bit to sharpen the Kansbol in the field because it is not a true scandi grind. Yes I can still do it, but the grind angle isn't as precise as my sharpeners at home. Also, the very thin tip makes me just a wee bit more hesitant and less confident to really work the blade compared to the Companion HD where you know you can throw the kitchen sink at it and it won't snap, so I ended up tossing the HD in my outdoor kit more often than the Kansbol. As for the Eldris, I love it as a secondary slicey blade for all kinds of cutting jobs that don't require beefier knifes. Even food prep was easy with it despite the short blade length.

[@daveyboy6985]

The secondary bevel stays exactly the same angle the whole length of the blade, So if you hold it bang on the same angle, on the flat of the bevel when your sharpening, you should be ok.

[@Cloudstrife112233]

Just bought a Companion as my first Mora, and I must say, it is an excellent knife. That is a hard knife to beat for the price.

[@J.sh_CDN]

Commenting on the Mora Eldris. First, save your money and get a normal mora and abuse it. Some day, maybe youll get luck enough to actually break your Mora, then you can just sharpen and grind the blade shape into a neck knife size. As for the sheath, cut the bottom, heat it up and pinch the bottom so it comes together. Low effort, you have basiclsly the same knife, but you got a ton of use out of it before hand and its cheaper. Advice, get a Mora Pro, as the blade is a bit taller and will work better as a homemade Eldris

[@Cid_1]

I would love to see you pick up one of the Mora Classic, I would suggest the #2 or #3. They are pretty affordable. And recently got a new look with sort of a brushed red oiled handle. Looks a lot better than the older models from the 80s - 2000s where the handle looked like it was just dipped in red paint. They are great tools to have around the house and yard. If the #3 looks like it's a bit too big I would suggest getting the #2. You should find them between $20-30. I don't think it's without reason they have been produced for about 100 years now. Thanks for the video Pete

hey mate, thank you for bringing up so many Moras, my favorite ones are the Companion heavy duty,510, and the Flex, each serve its own purpose very well. In Sweeden they take seriously how to reduce carbon footprint.

Great comparison video. My first mora was companion HD- enough for most outdoor use. Other two - 2000 with wooden handle and classic with the finger guard. Favourite probably the 2000 as homemade beech handle makes a personal fit.

[@luka___899]

If you ever feel like expanding your Mora collection, please have a serious think about 746 model. The stainless blade is their standard drop point, scandi grind, but the handle is by far the best of all Mora models. This is of course my very subjective opinion, however at the price point of £15 it can easily become a most favourite, disposable, versatile workhorse.

I enjoyed your review of mora knives of which l own a few (S/S Garberg, Companion Q Robust, 2000, Bushcraft Black and a couple of the red handled traditional whittlers plus a curved spoon carving knife). Over the years the 2000 is my favourite as it is quite thin and slicey . I do prefer the tip on the Q robust which also has a slightly more comfortable handle than the Bushcraft Black l find. I am tempted to get a Companion due to it's blade thinness. I am abit unsure of the long term reliability of a hollow handle in the Spark model. Plus I find it just as convenient to carry a fire source separately. Cheers for now

Thanks for the rundown. The Kansbol looks great but are uou not worried bc it is not a full tang? No durability issues to date? I love its profile but worry about the tang snd handle split…

I have the Mora 120 for carving but just purchased the companion spark 12C27 SS and really like it.

[@captnsnafu]

You should try the Mora "Light my fire" is a kind of a mash up between the Kansbol and the Spark. It has a firesteel and the tip of the blade is thiner as on the Kansbol. I have mine for years and since bought a lot of better knives, but It's still by far, the one I carry around the most.

[@JacksonDiddles]

I bought one of the Kansbol's and I LOVE the knife...but I hate the sheath. I always carry a fixed blade with me all the time...and when I got this I switched to it and nearly lost it 3 times in 2 days. The actual belt loop isn't solidly attached to the sheath but another band that the sheath hangs within. But once you sit down a couple of times or get in and out of your truck, that puppy will just pop out and all you have left is the belt loop. It also pokes out at an odd angle catching on every single bush, wall, door, chair or other random object that get's within 5 inches from your hip. I ended up lashing the loop down onto the sheath to stop it from popping out or sticking out so much...but it's still more bulky than my old gerber and will probably end up being a "camp knife" rather than something I carry.

Mora Knives = a simple inexpensive knife that works. Get one and you'll ask yourself, "why have I been paying $100's for other knives?"

[@JavierBonillaC]

Great video.

[@richmoran5915]

My favorite is the fire strike too. Love that knife.

[@Uns_Maps_8]

I have two Moras, both the so-called Sauscharf model which are very inexpensive but really sharp

[@stefcat5331]

A Mora that is one of my favorites is the Classic #3 and I agree with you about the Bushcraft Black. Just a nice knife all around.

[@MightyRedHat]

Thanks for the run-down!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Excellent video, great focus. that would be hard to go through so quickly and not feel totally rushed.

[@tahnjr]

Great picks. I would add the Mora 911. Carbon steel Companion blade, with a Bushcraft Black handle.

[@thewesty101]

Heyyy...! Ive got the Spark. It's my first, and thus far only Mora. I have no trouble with the handle wiggling loose for those wondering 👍

[@robertmiller6822]

I bought the kansbol pretty cheap, as a knife I can use around the house because I don't wanna kill some of my more expensive knifes on house task's, I love that blade shape, crazy grind, I give it a strop it's back amazingly sharp.

[@tombrown4683]

Watch & enjoy all your videos ! Come on Pete, "not good at bushcraft" you said in your recent video. That feathersticking & ferro rod fire starting was on point ! But please stay a Aussie gentleman farmer, dog parent, comedy channel with some knife & edge testing channel. We got plenty of bushcrafty channels on the tub.

[@blades8284]

Ten entertaining minutes. One of the few channels I don't watch at 2x speed.

[@kingwiththeax6880]

the swell on the companion is in the wrong place entirely, and makes it very uncomfortable to hold, so, no. also, do not even mention the spine of any knife. if you are so inept that you cannot grind a very sharp spine to strike a ferro rod... you are not a proper knife user and are pretty worthless in the bush. if it needs a spine to strike with... make one! its really easy,. don't be worthless. carry a rod, and a knife.

[@TorchHacker]

Thank you for the comparison! I'm off to Bunnings to get a Craftright 450g mallet.

[@sweetdrahthaar7951]

Does the cat scream every time you cut a mouse in half 😂

[@vigorousoutlaw2357]

The companion spark is the only Mora I own and I am very impressed with it... glad its your top pick

[@Wolf_K]

I have only one Mora, a carbon companion. Regular thickness. I have tons of high end knives of various kinds and the Mora is a fantastic knife for the AU$22 I paid for it. I like them so much and trust them enough that I plan to buy some more to give to family.

[@frankiejdwm_edc1037]

The Spark was my first MoraKniv, but mines called the Light My Fire Knife, but same thing just black and gray, instead of blaxk and red.

[@Jdubie37]

I agree, but I love my mora flex they discontinued. It’s the best do all slicing knife I find myself using over more expensive knives.

[@J.sh_CDN]

Been wanting to try that as a flat grind Mora... probably be a decent kitchen knife even, especially if you smoothed the front guard a bit to be able to cut on a board

[@Rob_1689]

The 120 is job specific but it's my favorite mora I've edc'd it too. It's nearly unbeatable for non survival needs

[@islandjason]

Bought another Companion S this morning.(Why do they make knives that are green?)I got an Orange one this time and Im going to grind the spine again. Worked well last time, but my Dad thinks I am crazy. I told him it was only $22 CAD, he couldnt believe it. Love these things for my goto neck knife.

[@p0ssesst]

I love my Bushcraft Black & I keep a Companion Spark in my cars glove box for emergency.

[@Alien2799]

Which one would be best for a beginner for batoning wood (preparation of wood for fire in general) and filleting fish? Thank you
