Yes it is: The Mora Robust

[@Greg_Chock]

I see a lot of people complaining about the Mora sheaths, but I think they're great - durable, good retention and you can just clip it on anything you're wearing and you don't even need a belt.

[@DL-ij7tf]

I'm such a knife dweeb that I usually have a nice belt knife on but I often clip a Mora Robust on the outside of one of my pockets because they're cheap and light and I don't want to use an expensive knife like a Tops Fieldcraft if it might hit a rock or something.

[@theprophetez1357]

Be careful I have had my Mora come out of its sheath while working a campfire, and I am not the only one this has happened to. I plan to take my heat gun and fit it better.

[@CHMernerner]

Yeah. They are really durable and really easy to use. And of course they are safe..

[@SunShine-vr4km]

@@RazzerKrull my friend, do you think can I get a Hultafors for under 20 bocks in Sweden? I found a Mora Robust for 169kr (almost 17 usd I think). Now I want a OK1 by Hultafors because I love the way it looks, besides all the good things I've read abt it.

[@MatyasTurk]

Bit of additional info on the Moras steel. When i mentioned (in i think a fb post) that carbon Moras are UHB 20C, Mora corrected me and said it was C100. C100 is a steel standard that Bohler Uddeholms UHB 20C fits, but apparently Mora doesn't get their steel from them. If i had to guess it's probably Sandvik 20C, since it also fits tge C100 standard, and Sandvik does supply their stainless steels as well, so it'd make sense.

I use my Mora and Hultafors timber framing. Both are rugged, durable and easy to sharpen. They are truly great carpenters knives!

[@lorenray9479]

I love the companion blade shape to get into the work. The robust and other blades are more like skinners and scraper knives. I love them all tho. Carbon for wood, stainless for greens!

[@LILEE376]

I like that the Robust is not so pointy than the usual Morakniv knives, and the high fingerguards are also very good features, which is missing even at the Garberg. If I need a strong cheap knife the Robust is the best option I think. Better than the Companion HD. Not as allrounder than a Kansbol or a Spark, but stronger.

I came here for the Hultafors, love mine. They also came out with a dedicated outdoor/bushcraft knife. Now I'm just waiting for them to release a folding saw! It's hard to find a Hultafors in my part of the states.

[@pbhead]

No "Junk Drawer", be it kitchen or garage, is complete without a Hultafors GK. The one in my kitchen still looks pretty new. Blister packages and various sealed items don't give it much trouble. The one in my garage has hit the low speed blade grinding belt so many times that it now has a Bark River style convex grind. You cant even find the scandi grind that it came with. It has been through thousands of feet worth of cardboard and other rough on the edge materials. I like the size and grip of the GK handle when I'm wearing leather gloves. Even with larger welding gloves, or insulated winter gloves, there is plenty of handle, and leather seems to grip that handle well. The GK and Robust are the kinds of knives you grab when you want to baton bricks and make concrete tinder to light your steel I-beam feather sticks.

[@danbolton3180]

I bought a $3 Promar stainless steel bait knife for a beater knife to save the Morakniv I spent $20 for. The Morakniv had more thought put into it, but the Promar sharpens well enough for my utility needs, and has a rubberized handle.

From the Mora homepage "This knife is designed and intended for Scandinavian construction workers. Here, our priority is a sharp and durable edge with a good grip, which means that the look of the spine isn’t a high priority feature. You are more than welcome to use any of our knives for your intended needs, but keep in mind that the spine will be “raw” (not grinded) on most craftsmen and construction knives. Therefore, it’s not compatible with a fire starter."

[@truth959]

The Hultafors has a much more ergonomic handle even if it's harder.

[@rockets4kids]

That Mora most definitely ships with a micro-bevel, and that is part of the reason the edge stands up so well in your testing. If you re-grind it to a zero-scandi the edge won't hold up nearly so well. That said, taking one of these knives to a zero grind will dramatically improve cutting performance, and that edge will still be plenty strong enough if you are not thoroughly thrashing it.

[@saintofchelseathomascarlyl5713]

according to knife steel nerds choosing 1095 for mora is a confusing choice when 1084 has double the toughness. but then again they only have 2 types of steels. i guess it cuts 70 times because they probably heat treated it for max toughness.

[@Revelation1316]

We've always known there is 'heat treating', and there is heat treating. And this has always pissed me off, because we never knew/ know how or what they really do, and most big manufacturers are the worst and many small ones inexperienced and underfunded/ resourced. This company is an exception because they design and make in Sweden. The only thing I am suspicious about this knife and all non-full tang knives is I once used a Kallum Utility (craft-line knife) with a very similar footprint and design to this mora cut an airconditioner out of a window frame and it pulled the blade out of the knife. Mind you this was not easy, and extreme force and attrition was used to do it. I am almost sure this Mora would be even stronger than that knife. I also have the Fallkniven F1 and this Moras handle is better. Well, actually the squareness of the F1's handle is better as its more versatile and gives more control, but I wished it had this generous straight down guard, not the subtle angled guard it has - the knife would be perfect with this. Mora Fk'd up on the Robust, in a good way and they had too - they never realised it would catch on as a knife with bushcrafters, campers and construction workers/ tradespeople. If you compare it to the Bushcaft Black (in entry level form) the BB's price is a joke! 10 seconds with a bastard file and your Robust is a bushcraft black. But Mora better be careful about flirting with higher prices and getting greedy, as these knives while good are extremely cheap to make. I could say the Robust is an outstanding knife and it is. But this is because most knives are junk, and it does not cost a lot at all to produce a quality knife - take the AG Russel Green River 4215 for instance, which is hand made, excluding hammering out the blade, which is hand sharpened however; or the Terava Jaarikupuukko 110 (AKA The Mora Garberg Killer).

There are no Dutch Bushcraft guys. Dutch Bushcraft is one person, me. You probably mean Dutch Bushcraft Knives (DBK) guys. I love the longer, stronger, easier to clean handle of the GK. Mine is in use since 2011. The Robust has the better or at least easier to attach sheath. Both will make you question why you ever bought that expensive knife.

[@StevanOutdoor]

@Xyz It's not that I don't like them. I actually do like them. I actually give them many likes because their videos are funny. Talked to them also and they have my support. We just have a different line of work. They make videos and talk about bushcraft and survival and I teach it. I just call bs on everybody that posts bs. Also on Dave Canterbury and he reached out and asked why? I gave the same answer. I call bs when I see it. I don't care who does it. DBK did not talk bs in this review. I fully agree the Hultafors GK, Mora Companion Heavy Duty or the Mora Robust is all you need. I have all 3 of them. And judging by the prices you mentioned I knew it was Australian dollars. Must admit that Mora has the better sheaths now, but I still prefer the handle of the Hultafors but that is pro's and cons and personal choice of course. The benefit of all 3 knives mentioned is that you can have one in every place/bag you might need them because of the price. So if DBK convinced you to get the Robust, that's good. It's the all you need knife. Stay happy Down Under and have some dirt time. Go for a walkabout and go bush as much as you can.

[@StevanOutdoor]

@Xyz The knife I EDC is a SAK. I have different models depending on in town, day hike, survival course. I do recognize gear junkies and there are a lot of them including me ;) I KNOW I have all the stuff I'll ever need but knives are my hobby and other outdoor gear also like hammocks and stuff. So if you want to save money don't become a gear junkie. At least you already realize it's not what you NEED but might want. That attitude will safe money you can now spend on getting dirt time! Because the dirt time is what it's all about. That creates memories. That's stories to tell. Bark River are good but expensive. Kephart style blade is functional but not 'sexy' in my eyes. I like the Canadian style blade. I have a couple of Barkies and many other brands and knives. But what I discovered pretty recently is Joker knives from Spain. Look them up on youtube and specifically the bushcraft line of knives (BS-9) designed by J Sabater. You will find Kephart style knives, Nessmuk style but also Finish puukko style. Don't worry about being rude. I'm not made of sugar ;)

[@StevanOutdoor]

@Xyz I've never been to Australia but maybe one day. The one that inspired me more to look at the bushcraft side more than just the 'military' survival aspect (different mindset) is still my favorite and he's Australian. His name is Les Hiddins aka Bush Tucker Man. You can still find him and his tv show on youtube. Of course when it comes to animals Steve Irwin (RIP). There are more but can't remember all names. The most impressive motivator for people to even consider going bush and enjoy just might be 'Crocodile Dundee'. Before you start looking for a bushcraft instructor, the right books, etc. something sparked your interest and in many cases that's a movie.
