Nice comparison! Do you have a Mora 2000? How does it compare to that?
Fantastic mate. Just the comparison I wanted to see. Very interesting to hear that the Kansbol handle is more like what I imagined the Garberg to have been before I actually handled one. What are your thoughts on the Kansbol's sheath?
Thanks guys .Quote from: Gareth on November 17, 2016, 06:02:07 PMFantastic mate. Just the comparison I wanted to see. Very interesting to hear that the Kansbol handle is more like what I imagined the Garberg to have been before I actually handled one. What are your thoughts on the Kansbol's sheath? 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.P.S.: I bought the Kansbol with only the sheath and the belt loop, you can also buy a Kansbol with the complete multimount setup, like the one you get with the Garberg. But since I already own the multimount setup, and the sheaths are interchangeable I didn't want to spent 15 Euro extra on an extra multimount setup (I thought the Kansbol with complete multimount setup costs around 52 Euro).
Damn. You're not helping me save my pennies you know. Cheers for the info mate.

You're welcome mate .Hey, I actually managed to hold out for a few months before my willpower crumbled. Okay, you postponed your crumbling for a couple of months .Reading your thoughts on the Kansbol in one of the other Mora topics it looks as if you quite like it, right ? I also like the shape of the handle on the Kansbol (and the Garberg) very much, in the past I thought nothing would beat the ergonomics of my Companion handle, until I held my Garberg for the first time. The shape on the Garberg/Kansbol handle works great in every position that you hold the knife, while the one on the Companion feels a bit akward when you're holding the knife "upside-down" to do some fine carving (hope this makes sense).Anyway, I'm glad you like the Kansbol, and I hope to see a lot of pics of it in the future .P.S.: You should take a look at the Varusteleka Jaakaripuukko, these are also great value for money

No, I don't need a Varusteleka Jaakaripuukko, I've just spent a few months worth of "toy" money on a new axe.
That's it, I'm logging off for tonight. Everyone is set on tempting me into spending all my money all of a sudden.
Hey you did the same to me. And we all do it to each other
Hmm, looked at it myself before... Just don't know if it'll justify leaving my Companion on the side...

Too bad the WANT is often stronger than the NEED
