Shouldn't take too long, ordered it from a finnish webstore  :) Probably here some time early next week  :tu:

Oh and to the contrary to everyone else on this thread, I got the multi mount sheath, 'cause I'm sneaky like that  :D

:tu:
looking forward to hear what you think of it, and especially the multimount.

Well, now you guys have done it... Stumbled upon the Garberg on a webstore and remembered seeing some talk about it on MTO, I came for a looksie... After finishing this thread few minutes ago, I went and ordered the knife for 109€ :facepalm:

My wallet sends it's regards: :rant:

:D

On the bright side, I've been needingwanting a Mora for quite a while, so Garberg should do the trick  :cheers:

Looking forward to hearing what you think of it when it arrives. :tu:

+1 and congrats!!!  :cheers:

I had some wondering whether to get the Kansbol instead since they both have the Multi Mount sheath, but went for the Garberg because of the full tang  :cheers:

Congrats on buying a Garberg mate  :cheers:.

I own the multimount sheath and the leather sheath, and I tend to grab for the multimount when I go on a hike.  Here's my opinion on these sheaths (quoted myself from this topic).

The sheath seems to be exactly the same as the one that comes with the Garberg, I've put my Garberg in the Kansbol sheath and vice versa.  The Kansbol is a bit harder to get out of the sheath, probably due to its "more rubberized" handle. 

My Garberg only comes with me during weekend hikes, so it's not like I have carried it for weeks in a row, but when I carry it, I tend to use this sheath instead of the leather one.  I prefer this one over the leather one because of its very low profile design, the leather one looks and feels a lot bigger, while this one is real easy to carry in the side pocket of a backpack, or even in the leg pocket of a pair of outdoor trousers.  And with this one you can also put the belt loop on your belt at home, and put the knife and its sheath in the belt loop when you're at the start of your hike, so no "big" knife on your belt while driving your car (yes, you can just put the leather sheath on your belt at the start of the hike also, but when it's cold and wet outside I prefer to pop the knife in the loop instead of having to pull up my fleece and raincoat to unbuckle my belt to ... you know what I mean  ;).

Like I said, I only carry this sheath during a hike in the weekends, so I can't really say if the loop and sheath hold up well after time, but I don't see any wear or tear on mine at the moment.

Mail day!!  :mail:

The Garberg arrived today and damn, am I excited or what :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

Some early observations, it's smurfty sharp out of the box, and as some have said before, I would have liked a little more "softer" material for the handle, but it's not slippery so I'm sure it will work quite fine and I'm not sure I like the velcro straps that came with the Multi Mount sheath, BUT... That just gives me more fun, as in making some straps of my own from 15 and 25mm webbing and some buckles and fittings ;)

Couple pics (sorry, taking good pics at this time of year is restricted to around noon, so you have to do with these until I can get some better ones::) )...





Hopefully I'll get some time to use it on the weekend, and get some better pics... :D

 :cheers:

I'm also planning to make a paracord pouch for my ferro rod to attach on the multi mount sheath, just need to figure out how  :)

I also ordered some webbing, fittings, snap buttons and tools to make some new straps for it  :D

It was new to me but here's a data sheet on it. 

Sandvik 14C28N is a martensitic stainless chromium steel with a chemistry optimized for high quality professional knife applications. The chemical composition provides a unique combination of properties including:

    Excellent edge performance
    Very high hardness
    Good corrosion resistance

Sandvik 14C28N is mainly recommended for knife applications which put very high demands on edge sharpness, edge stability and corrosion resistance. Examples are pocket knives, chefs knives, hunting knives and fishing knives.


http://smt.sandvik.com/en/materials-center/material-datasheets/strip-steel/14c28n/

Reviews and reports online are very favorable on edge toughness/edge retention. My limited tests confirm this.

That confirms that tge cansbol will replace the Mora 2000, and that the sheaths are interchangeable.  Even with the Mora 2000  :o
I hadnt even thought of trying that.

Usually weekly....

I spend tons of time on youtube watching reviews on knives, guns, hunting gear, bushcraft/camping skills etc....most of which I don't get to do anymore because of my health. :(

Missed one...
