Thanks :) In reality each one represents a slighty different approach of the same concept and all work quite well for me.
I do think a 510 would be my most used one. Too bad they only come in carbon steel.

I have some Moras -Bahco 2444 in orange and in Laplander colours, Fireknife, Companion, Pro C- (for which I partially blame this den of iniquity ::) ) and I love them all and I am lusting after a 510 and a Garberg (I partially blame this den of iniquity for that as well -but only a little).
What I don't use get's moved on eventually so I guess I'm satisfied by these knives :tu:
My camera being away, here's a couple of recycled pics
Some nice ones firiki :cheers:
+1!!!!
Thanks :) In reality each one represents a slighty different approach of the same concept and all work quite well for me.
I do think a 510 would be my most used one. Too bad they only come in carbon steel.
Look for an old KJ Eriksson 545...it's Sandvik 12C27 SS! :cheers:
On the bottom.

Ferro rod? No, that's where I keep my emergency Red Vine. As you can see from the picture I had just had an emergency.I'd like to join please.Nice Mags! Love the sheath also. It even has a place for a ferro rod.
Here's my Mora:

My first, I think it's a 511, that my father gave me when I was 15 (1985), the sheath has split so it spends its time in a drawer.

Thank you Poncho :cheers: Which one(s) do you like best?
Of those in the pics I like the Bahco branded one best but I do like the look of all Moras in general ( must be the Scandi grind :think: ) I wouldn't mind having any of the ones you have pictured though ;) Before the years end I plan on adding at least 1 if not 2 to my collection :cheers:

Mors Kochanski swears by them and Ray Mears championed them here in the UK. Very cheap, but take a fantastic edge and do everything you would expect from a decent knife, except, as SG says, for a fraction of the cost.

don't forget that they are very light and if the handle should fail, the ease of replacing ones is hard to match

They can take a lot of abuse too, but if you use them for their intended purpose they will outlast you.

I think that sounds like the plan. From what I'm hearing in this you can either buy it with the retaining loop, neck cord and ferro rod, or you can buy it with just the sheath and, as far as I can see, you don't seem to get a belt loop at all.

I know what you mean, but at around 20secs he does call it "neck knife kit or pocket sized knife". I do understand that it could just be a language barrier though.
https://www.lamnia.com/no/p/13917/kniver-og-foldekniver/mora-of-sweden-eldris-neck-knife-kit
They do call it a "pocket sized fixed blade".
I guess you can fit it in a jacket pocket.

I've no idea if I'm right or not, but I feel that the Viking 640/660 was the updated version of the 740/760 from when Frosts became Morakniv. I'd be interested to hear if someone knows the actual story though. :)

Last one (I think) from me, though there is always the chance I'm forgetting one. :-[ Another older model is the Viking 660, but I've seen it still listed on a couple of sites.

Mora enthusiasts? Grathr's and Robert's passion have me looking for ways to learn Norwegian and counting the little yellow pennies to afford a few more Mora blades. The Norwegian is simply to be able to tell our northern members to jump in a barrel of porcupines next time this Mora frenzy starts. Well and to hit on northern women
Has to be the first time someone wants to learn Norwegian on cause of Mora knives... :D

Well from my understanding learning it will also help in communication with Danes, Swedes and Icelanders, kinda like Bosnians, Croats, Serbs and Slovenians can understand each other quite well. Plus it's easier to blame someone else or something else than just my insanity.
So where to start with your language?

The best place to start is of course satwcomic.com :D
A little more seriously, I frankly don't know what's the best way to learn Norwegian. In general, Norwegians are overjoyed and flattered every time someone is interested, but we're not exactly used to anybody actually asking...
Perhaps Project Runeberg would be helpful. ( http://runeberg.org/ – “Project Gutenberg for Scandinavian texts”) https://www.nrk.no/ – The Norwegian little brother to the BBC. http://forskning.no/ – Science news in Norwegian. https://kniver.blogspot.no/ – You know why.
Edit: Wanted to add a couple of more links. :)

:D
Maybe get a Norwegian girlfriend?
I have heard that Norwegian is difficult to learn properly for foreigners for two reasons.
1. We have many exeptions from the rules of the written languages that have no reason and you just have to "know" about them.
2. We have many regional dialects that differ quite a lot from the written language. Just to complicate it a bit more, we have two official written languages, bokmål (originates from Danish)and nynorsk (a hybrid of many dialects) . But because of all the dialects, hardly anyone actually speaks exactly the way we write it in either of the two.
Oh. And Steinar is right. If you want to understand "scandinavian" Norwegian is the way to go. :D

I have some Moras -Bahco 2444 in orange and in Laplander colours, Fireknife, Companion, Pro C- (for which I partially blame this den of iniquity ::) ) and I love them all and I am lusting after a 510 and a Garberg (I partially blame this den of iniquity for that as well -but only a little).
What I don't use get's moved on eventually so I guess I'm satisfied by these knives :tu:

Thanks :) In reality each one represents a slighty different approach of the same concept and all work quite well for me.
I do think a 510 would be my most used one. Too bad they only come in carbon steel.
Look for an old KJ Eriksson 545...it's Sandvik 12C27 SS! :cheers:
On the bottom.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Reposts/Mora%20510%20and%20KJE%20545_zpst6nmtjpi.jpg)
Hey, thanks (and apologies for the quite late reply :-[)! I wasn't aware of these knives.
They seem a wee bit larger than the current Mora 510, I think? The current one is small and thin enough for most of my needs and I really like it :tu: Now, if the KJ 545s are about the same stock then I think I should start tracking down a couple of those.
One more thing I like about these knives is their ambidexterous sheath. It's good to have options. Knife retention isn't rock solid though (talking about current 510s) but that's probably on purpose as pulling the knife out would be rendered quite difficult if knife retention of those sheaths were indeed rock solid.
:salute: :drink:

Ferro rod? No, that's where I keep my emergency Red Vine. As you can see from the picture I had just had an emergency.I'd like to join please.Nice Mags! Love the sheath also. It even has a place for a ferro rod.

Both names sound very nice in my language. They are both identical to ancient Greek words.
Mora (Μόρα) was the regiment of ancient Sparta. We still use the word as Moira (Μοίρα) which means a lesser military unit, the degree (as in the circle), or the fate. We also use the Nord term Mora, meaning the sleep paralysis.
Helle (Έλλη, written as ΗΕΛΛΗ before Koine) was a character in mythology, the girl that run away with the ram from which they made the golden fleece. The name is tied with Greece in many ways, since we call ourselves Hellenes and our country Hellas (Greeks were a tribe of the Northwest, the first Romans encountered, so they named all country Greece instead of Hellas. in a similar way, Ions were Hellenes of the East (Ionia), so Turks and many Asians call as Yunan). Hellen was the mythological patriarch of all Greeks.
I already named my new Helle Skala (Skala means ladder in modern Greek btw) Έλλη.

Thank you Poncho :cheers: Which one(s) do you like best?
Of those in the pics I like the Bahco branded one best but I do like the look of all Moras in general ( must be the Scandi grind :think: ) I wouldn't mind having any of the ones you have pictured though ;) Before the years end I plan on adding at least 1 if not 2 to my collection :cheers:
It it just because of the looks? There are subtle differences between all these knives.
I like the Bahco ones because they're the same shape and length as the Companion but thinner which, for me, makes them better slicers. I much prefer the handle on the Companion though.
The Fireknife proved to be a tough and agile lil' bugger. I wasn't expecting that! It was my first scandi too and it made me appreciate them. I'm more of a flat grind man myself but I am very fond of my Moras.
The Companion is a heavier duty knife I keep as a back-up ::)
I'd have a hard time choosing only two of the ones pictured. Maybe if I get my hands on a 510 things will get easier :D

Does Mora mean "tenderize" in Swedish and Helle "to pour" in Norvegian?
Both names sound very nice in my language. They are both identical to ancient Greek words.

Hellen was the mythological patriarch of all Greeks.
I already named my new Helle Skala (Skala means ladder in modern Greek btw) Έλλη.
Mora is a actually a town about 250 km from where I'm at (not very far in Swedish terms). Tenderize would be Möra (note that the umlauts when used in Swedish denotes two new letters Ä and Ö.
Post by: Steinar on August 22, 2016, 02:03:48 PM
Mora, as the name of the place from which the knives get their name, has its etymology in a word meaning “dense forest on wet ground”.
Interesting to learn the same words pop up with such meanings in Greek. :tu:

You can bet these deals were posted all over the bushcraft forums as well.....I probably should have got some Bushcraft Blks at 25 bucks ea. but I'm only interested in the Garbergs.

Morakniv Combo Knife & Firestarter Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife w/ Stainless Steel Fixed Blade $15 @ Amazon
Light My Fire Swedish FireKnife with 9.5 cm (3.75 Inch) Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade and Swedish FireSteel Fire Starter, just the black version for this price, but it matches all time low price, not sure if i'm allowed to post the link, but you can search it.
I did.....we all appreciate a deal over here at MTO....other places are more uptight about it for some reason.

then I look at the picture on back of package and see your supposed to hold steel in place and move the knife and whammo, sparks flying everywhere, now I smell like the top of a bic lighter :rofl:
and its razor sharp, very nice product :cheers: and if there's a cooler name then fireknife I would be shocked

so i was playing around with just arrived fireknife striking the steel against the blade spine and it was not sparking, muttering to myself this thing sucks...

Thats a pretty neat design.
I wonder how well just a beltloop with the button on the side would work.
Back in the old days, the button loop was the way a knife was carried here. Usually hanging from one of the suspender buttons.
This old drawing of a troll illustrate it quite nicely.

Its very comfortable to use and fits nicely in a jacket pocket. The handle is dual density. Softer outer layer, hard center (the area with the squares is hard)
The blade is small, but since its a fixed blade you can use every inch of it as hard as you like. Wich you have to, when taking down a sapling like in the pic below. It was hard work, half cutting and half prying it into submission.
The sheath really could use a belt loop or something for when you are not wearing a jacket though. I have an idea for a carbiner mount for it that I will try to make this evening.
Also I tried using it for breaking down some cartboard boxes. It worked, but not as well as my spydies or benchmade . The scandi grind really isnt the best for that kind of work.

IIRC the Mora 2000 blade has a pretty long/wide tang on it. I'm guessing that it'll be the same on the Kansbol.

These 1/0s and a 106 are my favorite pairing for carving.
First thing I did was to grind down the spines to a long taper…giving me a profile like a beefy 106.. These are old school riveted tangs, so I had to grind and drive them out. I used half of a #2 handle as a template.
I use a standard length brad-pointed drill first…I find using a long drill first normally results in a crooked hole from drift. In this project I drilled a 3/16-1/4” stepped hole because the taper of the tang…normally for a Puukko blade I only drill ¼”
Post by: Spork, Lord of Lime Jello! on January 06, 2017, 05:22:20 PM
The step for the ferrule is roughed out by saw and fitted by carving. Next is to epoxy the blade in. I only use Devcon 2-ton on my knives…one reason is for a longer setting time. I tape up the gaps in the ferrule and clamp the knife tip down…so the epoxy flows and fills any gaps at the front of the handle.
Post by: Spork, Lord of Lime Jello! on January 06, 2017, 05:24:17 PM
The progression is roughed out square then hexagon. From this point it’s knocking off the corners, then knocking off those corners…think filing a square bar into a rod.

The Classic Moras ergos, although simple, are hard to beat in hand!! :cheers: :cheers:
I find them to be a bit on the small side so after a while they do cause discomfort
:cheers: A #2 fits my hand perfect and has been comfortable for me but I tend to hold farther back so some of my hand is off the back....this helps me not slip. I have to do it like this since my RA got worse. The old Capped model handles are a bit on the small side for me. :salute:

Styx: The Mora Classic no 1 handles fit me very well. Do you have a older or newer Classic?
I noticed that the newer ones actually have a slightly thicker handle compared to some of my old No 1s.

Anyone here have any thoughts and experiences with the Robust? I have a hankering for a new Mora for some reason.
Had to google to make sure whether I have the Robust or the Companion HD :rofl:
Companion HD which I like because of the slightly bigger handle....
I have a Pro C which I believe has the same handle as the Robust, those are a bit small for my huge paws.
Anyway, cheap Mora - how can you go wrong? :cheers:

I havent seen the Kansbol in the flesh, but I think the Kansbol has a squared spine, wich the 2000 doesnt. Other than that I dont know of other differences in the blade.

The weekend camp went well enough, though a little less rain might have been good. ::) The Kansbol performed very well and didn't miss a beat. I do like the slight soft touch to the grip and the shape is very comfortable. No complaints about the sheath either. All-in-all I've got no reason for complaint. However, is it worth three or four times what you'd pay for a basic Mora? I'm not sure it is TBH, but it's certainly a good knife. Oh, the nice square spine is very well done.

Cheers mate. :cheers: I was doing a little whittling with it last night (nothing specific, just removing wood) and it was a pleasure to use. Partly due to the slim profile at the tip, partly due to the extremely comfortable handle. I also did a little light battoning and it did OK. I'm not a fan of battoning huge lumps of wood anyway and reserve it for making small bits of kindling for fire starting.
More good info!!!! I'm kicking around the idea of one but can't really justify it (like that's stopped me before :D)! I have two Garbergs so I'm resting a little on the Mora front right now. :salute:

Well Mora did have a poll on Instagram if you'd rather have a Kansbol or a Bushcraft. I saw a lot of Kansbol replies, although I'd personally fall in the Bushcraft camp at this point

The truth is that between my Glock 81 Feldmesser and some of my Mora knives (Companion, Fireknife, Bahco Laplander knife, 510) I think most of my bushcraft knife needs are met.
The Garberg is one solid piece of stainless goodness, the Kansbol, however, I find more appealing to me and probably closer to my needs.
I don't need either one, why do I keep tormenting my poor ol' brain? :ahhh

I've never even held a Bushcraft as far as I can recall. :think: Any particular reason you like it?
Feels good in my hand and I'm used to the Companion so the blade profile and familiarity is there. Sadly I've never gotten a chance to hold a Kansbol or Garberg and for me ergos are the most important thing

Perfectly reasonable mate. :cheers: I did get a chance to hold a Garberg in a shop and really liked the handle shape. When I found out the Kansbol had the same shape and also had a softer texture I was sold on the idea of owning one.

Guess I should get my hands on one to really decide. Although I've got another sort of knife on my list that has priority

I like the Garberg feel as well...comfortable and easy to grip, even with my RA. In fact, the Garberg has pretty much taken the wind outta my sails on buying more fixed blades. I'll get another one if it comes out in carbon (maybe) but it's great in stainless IMO....less worry/care in the field.

I do wonder why they didn't go with a softer grip on the Garberg. :think: Durability perhaps? Not that I'd call the Kansbol handle weak or anything, but you might be able to damage it when battoning or some such. :shrug:

I think for two reasons, a) the soft material can potentially hurt your skin during hard, prolonged use which is what the Garberg was designed to do and b) long-term that same material could detoriorate due to use and age.
Point b) is just a guess.

Soft handles can really hold smells from fishing etc. Hard handles are generally easier to clean.

Went for a walk in the woods this lunchtime and took the Kansbol with me.

The belt loop for the Kansbol also fits the Eldris sheath, but since I rather like that where it is I knocked up a holder from some bits of leather and cord I had kicking about in the garage.

Makes nice wood curls as well. Yup, it's still a Mora, albeit with a very dinky blade.

That holder looks good :tu: How do you like the knife, Gareth?
I like it a lot so far. Not surprisingly it's very sharp, the spine easily throws a good spark and the handle is very comfortable. While the short blade obviously makes it extremely compact it also means that your hand is always right next to whatever it is you are working on. This can make things feel a little cramped sometimes. I also wouldn't mind the handle having a bit of a finger hook on the butt end, not only to aid removal from the sheath, but also to indicate edge alignment. However these are relatively minor quibbles and overall I like the Eldris very much. :tu:

If you could keep only one of the two, would you pick the Eldris or the Kansbol? >:D :D
Post by: Gareth on March 30, 2017, 11:30:48 AM
:salute: I see why you'd like a finger hook and I agree with you. I guess it would ruin the knife's clean lines, though, and that many people might think it made the grip uncomfortable. Not to mention the need for an extra mold.
If you could keep only one of the two, would you pick the Eldris or the Kansbol? >:D :D
Oh, the Kasbol without question. The short blade on the Eldris makes it very handy, but if it were to be my one and only knife it'd be too limiting IMO. I don't want to sound like I'm being harsh on the Eldris becasue I really do think it works well. I have a couple of small bladed sheath knives and it's by far and away the best of them, mostly due to the good sized handle. It's a bit more compact than a full sized Mora, but it's big enough to fill the hand and is comfortable to use for extended periods.

I've been very impressed as well. It's a real user friendly knife with a full comfy handle and super sharp blade. The smaller size really puts you on top of the task at hand. Very easy to carry in any pocket or as a necker. Good stuff!

I too agree - all mine have mora/frost knives, as well as SAKs and my youngest also has a leap and a dive knife :D :)
unfortunately, they rarely if ever take them outside the house unless i'm with them and we're going camping/hiking etc. The days of a young boy/girl having a SAK in their pocket just "because" seem to be gone, but that is a totally different off topic story already debated in other threads..

if the MTO crowd got to design a Mora, how would it look? (performance is always great on Mora knives so moot point)
I'd definitely start with a duel density grip.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, also a full tang like Garberg would be nice (No, I'm not biased at all... :angel: ) :pok:

OK, I could go with that, but I think it'd have to be a thinner blade than the Gerberg. Dare I suggest a slight drop point? Not a big one, just something mild like this:

I think for a Mora it just has to be a Scandi grind. I'm also thinking about blade length and width. I might be biased because of how much I like the Eldris, but I'm leaning towards a shorter than normal blade. Not Eldris short, but 1-2cm shorter than they normally make. Thoughts?

I'd go with "shape" over guard. Though if we're thinking about some sort of rubber inserts then perhaps we could also be thinking about a more traditional barrel look?
I'll go with Gareth in this one :tu:
Now how about the sheath? Traditional Mora plastic one, Multi-mount like Garberg/Kansbol or Leather? Maybe all of them?

I also agree. No guard. The sheath, I am thinking all options. And if I want, I can always make a nice sheath for it.I'd go with "shape" over guard. Though if we're thinking about some sort of rubber inserts then perhaps we could also be thinking about a more traditional barrel look?

a lot of people will make a leather sheath if they really like the knifeI agree. That what I would do. Although the new sheaths seem to be top notch.

First would be a three inch version of the 511 with guard and robust style sheath.
Second would be a five inch version of the robust without guard with 511 style handle and robust style sheath.
Old handles are easier to clean and lend to more grips.
New sheaths have better retention and are easier on and off the belt.
My older models have no gap between the blade and handle, my robust does have a gap on each side.
Does anyone else with the newer style handles have this gap?

I would like a couple (at least) models please.

Second would be a five inch version of the robust without guard with 511 style handle and robust style sheath.

I like the way you think. :tu:
I think my version would be a Mora Basic Allround Pro with 3" blade and no guard. I think I'd like the mix of a shorter, wider but thin blade. I might just have to pick up an Allround Pro anyway and see about taking the guard down some.

The communist knife thing? I was listening to a podcast and it came up. I'm looking for the original reference as to not misquote someone but it is just one of those things that probably appeals to some people, sours some other relationships and most don't even know about it if it's kept under the radar well enough

Basically the guy is calling Mora a communist knife because it comes from a communist country and thus inferior (Sweden is a communist country? news to me ;) ). All started with something about Mora fans smurfing about skeletonized tangs. Well also we're commies for liking Mora knives and can't afford better knives (ok, that last point is true in some cases),
Well no matter how much schooling some people have, it is apparent that they might lack something in the brains department

OK, practical question guys. Since I'm looking to expand my collection several models have caught my eye (a lot of them actually), but I'm looking at the 511, Pro C and Robust and seeing very little difference. Sure the Robust is 0.5 millimeters thicker but other than that the differences are escaping me.
So your thoughts on those 3 models and the differences between them please
You asking about the older 511 like mine pictured above or the newer basic 511?
From memory and I could be wrong:
Basic 511 has a polymer handle and narrow thin blade.
Pro C has a polymer and rubber handle and wider thin(?) blade.
Robust has a polymer and rubber handle and wider thicker blade.
Personally I like narrow thin blades and up size either spec as required.
Which one you get should really depend on what you're going to do with it.

Sounds about right to me. Basic 511 is quoted as having a 1.6mm thick blade, as does the Pro C. The Pro C is wider from spine to edge though. The Robust has a 3.2mm thick blade and the same width as the Pro C. The only one of those three I've used is the Pro C and it's a great Mora. However it's not so different from Moras that I already own that I've felt the need to rush out and buy my own.

Post by: firiki on May 09, 2017, 12:15:48 PM
Of those you list, I like the 511's blade the best: If I am not mistaken, it has the same dimensions and profile like the 510, only finger guard added. I love my (newer style) 510.
The handle on the Pro C and Robust is very comfortable, though I don't really care for the added rubbery material, but their profile isn't a great all-rounder, not for me anyways.
Post by: firiki on May 09, 2017, 12:21:22 PM
My older models have no gap between the blade and handle, my robust does have a gap on each side.
Does anyone else with the newer style handles have this gap?

A couple of minus points because of [...] the little gap on both sides of the blade [...]

Considering that I've got only the Companion and Classic #1 (or maybe #2?), and that Bushcraft black, Kansbol and Garberg are out of my price range for now, hence those 3 models.

It is pretty much impossible to get the fish smell off the rubber style handles.

How do you like the Companion? Maybe consider a Bahco 2444, basically a Companion with a 2mm thick spine? It's a great slicer.

Can't believe I managed to forget the 510. So plastic handle is what I'm after. Wait, Zoid do you have any issues with your modified Bahco and that smell?

Can't believe I managed to forget the 510. So plastic handle is what I'm after. Wait, Zoid do you have any issues with your modified Bahco and that smell?
Now you need to buy at least two to redeem yourself...
About the rubber handle, I wouldn't know about the smell of fish as I don't fish but I'll take zoid's word for it. What I can tell you is that mine seem to absorb a little sweat and grease off my hand so I need to wash them every now and then. Nothing too bad so far, though.

How do you like the Companion? Maybe consider a Bahco 2444, basically a Companion with a 2mm thick spine? It's a great slicer.
Of those you list, I like the 511's blade the best: If I am not mistaken, it has the same dimensions and profile like the 510, only finger guard added. I love my (newer style) 510.
The handle on the Pro C and Robust is very comfortable, though I don't really care for the added rubbery material, but their profile isn't a great all-rounder, not for me anyways.Considering that I've got only the Companion and Classic #1 (or maybe #2?), and that Bushcraft black, Kansbol and Garberg are out of my price range for now, hence those 3 models.

:think: Are you talking about the 510 or the Companion's handle?
But yes, I see the 510 as the Companion's smaller, more agile twin brother with a different -and lovely- handle. (In fact, half the 510's appeal for me is that handle; its shape lends itself to all sort of grips.)
Edit: I think I'm going to start a 510 admirers club. Need to take some piccies first, though :D

Is it just me, or does this seem like a very good price on the Kansbol? https://www.heinnie.com/mora-kansbol £24 + P&P is a lot lower than the going rate that I can see elsewhere.Not sure what the the exchange is but they are running 35 USD here. Low enough to snag one.

Ok. Here it is 35 USD shipped to my door. That does not seem to bad to me. And let's face it, the Kansbol is a full tang blade. The Tang just stops below the lanyard hole.off the top of my head it works out at about $30 + P&PIs it just me, or does this seem like a very good price on the Kansbol? https://www.heinnie.com/mora-kansbol £24 + P&P is a lot lower than the going rate that I can see elsewhere.Not sure what the the exchange is but they are running 35 USD here.

So a full tang Mora with the grind of a 2000 for 35 freedom bucks, that seems ok to me. I maybe bias because I really want one.

This is what I mean, the kansbol is twice price of the companion heavy duty and it's blade is 2.5mm reducing to 0.78mm
The companion hd is over 3mm over the full length, ignoring the bevel in both cases.

Sorry for the really bad photo.
It just seems to me that Mora are producing new models without looking at what they already produce and charging eye watering prices for them.
Now I love my moras, but some of the new ones are leaving me cold. I do like the Garberg for example, especially now the price has come down to something a lot more reasonable.

There was a pine down over the track that I'll have to go back and sort with a larger blade.
Normally I would have a larger blade with me but decided at the last minute to carry more food instead.

Kansbol multi mount. (Braces for the pitchforks) I'm having doubts about his knife. Cost, materials used for the sheath but mainly the blade.

I haven't seen any of the newer gen gear in person but purely from a design ideal of keeping things simple the multi sheath thing just isn't appealing.
Not saying I wouldn't use it or couldn't make it work.
Anyway, shops here don't stock them and online retailers want a kidney for them so for the moment I'll just look at the pics.

Agreed. Although I don't really seem to be finding much use for my "standard" ones either. :think: I always seem to grab a different knife
Heavy duty work - DuPlessis Warthog
Dirty work that might damage a good knife - Nowills Seaman
Food prep when hiking/camping - CS Roach Belly or Boker+ TUF
General cutting use - Iisakki Jarvenpaa Jatkanvuolu
Larger "do everything" knife - Muela Jabali
My HiVis Companion sometimes gets carried as a "just in case" when I go out for a walk, but hardly ever gets used. The Miki lives in a box of other knives, and occasionally gets taken out to see if there's any rust yet :shrug:

Why would you need to get a coat? Being a fan and being realistically critical is not mutually exclusive. Actually it makes us even better. There are a lot of Mora knives I'd like to try but not a whole lot I'd step over my mother to buy. Considering our likes and dislikes (because who cares about needs) and our economic possibilities, it is ok that we are drawn towards different designs

Im a bit confused about the description on Hennies page though. It says: "Triflex is harder and very resistant to breakage compared to a stainless steel blade. It is also easy to light a fire with a Triflex blade and a fire steel."
But from what I read about triflex steel, it is a steel where the carbon has been reduced on the outside making it soft. So you get a hard core and softer steel closer to the outside, preventing the hard core from breaking. (Like laminated steel without actually laminating it)
But that would make it fairly useless on a firesteel, unless you strike the steel with the knives edge. :think:

I've never had a Triflex so dont know Grathr but i file all my Moras spines ss and carbon and they all spark a ferro rod,I think though carbon is better with a flint.
My Garberg and Eldris throw exeptionally good sparks.
Anyone own a triflex blade that could educate us?
Edit:
At about 13:28 this guy uses it with a firesteel without trouble.

Triflex was one of those unusual models (description wise) that seemingly went away very fast:salute:
I thought it was like laminated :think:
Laminated
This unique blend of steels is effectively stainless steel wrapped around carbon steel. The core carbon steel is exposed at the edge, providing the benefits of sharpness and edge retention that metal provides. The steel exposed on the sides of the knife provide protection and flexibility. The laminated steel used is oil-hardened AISI O1 tool steel, hardened to 58–60 HRC.

Triflex
Found on only a few knives, Triflex is carbon steel that is harder near the edge and softer near the spine. This makes the blade more flexible and less prone to breakage. This steel is now discontinued in Mora products; I have read from unofficial sources that this was due to supply and quality issues. Triflex steel was made from C75 steel, hardened to 58–60 HRC.

If soft at the spine possibly no good for a spark with a flint ?
From the way I understand it, soft steel is bad at throwing sparks.
But it might be that "soft" at the spine compared to the edge, still is pretty hard. :think:

That would be my guess. We're probably talking "relatively" soft compared to the cutting edge, but still a heck of a lot harder than a ferro rod.

Too be honest Gareth I would be happy with a few #1 :tu:
Here is what Thomas said. Triflex Steel is O1-steel that got the surface "de-corbonized" (to little carbon to be affected by the heat treatment). Eventually the vendor got out of business. Since then no more Triflex knives ...

So that would make the surface really soft like I originally thought. Now Im even more confused :think:
And the collector in me screams: get one! Its discontinued!
But the Moras I already own are already competing hard to be used, and loosing to the Garberg for bushcraft work. I really dont need the Triflex.

Triflex-steel is a high alloyed carbon steel, were the carbon in surface has been reduced (not enough carbon to harden the steel).
This makes that the blade surface will not be hardened (depth ~0,1mm) and you get a knife that will resist bending and (hammer) hits better than a ordinary high carbon steel knife. The surface of the knife blade are in other words more soft and flexible, but the edge is as hard as any carbon steel knife.
We have been using Triflex-steel in decades on knifes that has to suffer hammer hits and other heavy duty.

I'm not sure that the ability to strike a ferro rod is the defining characteristic of a good outdoor knife anyway, so this wouldn't really put me off buying one.

Closest to the handle it is completely useless at throwing sparks. No sparks at all.
Closer to the tip the spine is sharper, and it will produce a weak spark. Perhaps some filing of the spine there might make it better.

very nice. :tu: is it bad at throwing sparks from a ferro rod?
It has a fairly rounded off spine, so Id say yes it is.
Havent tried yet though :)
Closest to the handle it is completely useless at throwing sparks. No sparks at all.
Closer to the tip the spine is sharper, and it will produce a weak spark. Perhaps some filing of the spine there might make it better.
I filed it a little on the sides of the spine and on the top, to get through the low carbon layer, and now it throws much better sparks.
Not as good as the bushcraft black thoug.

Grathr I had to file the rounded spine on my 2000 and it also throws a good spark, but not as good as my #1 classic or 510 but still good in a emergency :tu:

Yeah, "membership" is very informal here. :D Just post pics, discuss your experiences, ask questions or whatever. :salute: If the Clubs have any point at all (and that's debatable ;)) it's simply that it lets others know that a specific area of interest is being talked about and that you might want to jump in.

I have Eldris, Companion, Companion HD, 2000, an older original 2.5mm Bushcraft, Bushcraft Black and Orange, and Garberg. I love them all- capable, no-nonsense, easy-to-maintain, sharp steel. I had a custom Kydex sheath made for my Garberg, although I find the leather sheath to be exceptional. I carry it cross draw and have room for my multitool (Swiss Champ) and my Spyderco.
Do I get to join this club?! :cheers:

Here's just a couple of my Moras- although I confess the tan Bushcraft is only available in Europe right now. Morakniv emailed me a pic when I asked them if they planned any other colors of Bushcraft stainless beyond Black and Orange.

I know the sheaths are cheap but they are effective, lightweight and have good-enough retention. I have a suspicion Moraphiles would buy different colored sheaths too. Although it's nice to have sheaths made, one of the neat things about Mora is the value priced knives; so too would be the option to buy value sheaths.
That said, here's another shot of my Garberg's Kydex home.

Very cool- thank you. I know Dave Canterbury's Self Reliance Outfitters has similar leather sheaths too. Many seem to be danglers but I'm sure there are some belt loop ones too.
Even still, I'd figure the Mora plastic sheaths would be closer to $10-12 and just about as indestructible as the Moras themselves. Seems like it would be easy enough for them to produce and sell them; perhaps I'm the only one who'd like this option though!

When it comes to using a Mora on things that will smell bad later (meat, fish) I prefer the plastic sheath since it is a lot easier to maintain. The Companion though could use an upgrade, mostly just for style points as the plastic sheath does the job quite well
:salute: it's the main reason my mora #1 in my fishing tackle box is still in its original plastic sheath :tu:

Good one. I wonder how the Kansbol and Garberg handle the issue of scent going into the handles seeing as one is marketed as a hunting knife and the other as a survival "do it all" knife. Should probably also include the Bushcraft Black, since for me general woods use does spring to mind fishing as well

I suspect the Kansbol would hold bad smells in it's rubberised handle. I've not tried fishing in years, but if I did I'd take a different knife.

Most haters of Garberg are so because it doesn't cost less than $50 USD. Which is ridiculous because Garberg is more knife, and not exclusive from buying the excellent sub-$50 Moras available. Personally, I rotate between carrying my Companion, HD, Bushcrafts and Garberg, depending upon how I feel or what I need.

According to Björn Åkerblom at Morakniv, that tan one was just released in Germany. Not sure if or when it might be released in the US.

Post by: styx on July 05, 2017, 09:36:47 AM
General question- why doesn't Morakniv qualify as its own sub-heading group, like Swiss Army Knights, Leatherman, Gerber, etc..? I imagine a Moraphile sub-section would be fairly popular. I know we have this Mora Club, but I think it would be justified to have a broader landing strip.
Am I talking out of my Kansbol?
A lot of other companies like BRKT, Cold Steel and Spyderco have tons of fans here as well so it could be argued for all of them. I have a general suspicion that since multitools in all shapes and sizes are the primary focus is the reason the big manufacturers have their own subsections, and it might make the forum a lot more cluttered for the mods to keep an eye on.
I remember being utterly smurfed off while being a mod on another forum because someone thought it would be a great idea for the "Metal and Rock" section to get 15 subsections.
This also avoids possible confusion when it comes to "Should I get" types of threads.TG24 had one such thread roughly a year ago where at the start of it he was eyeballing 2 different knives one of which was a Garberg if I recall correctly. As it happens the list of "ohhh check this one out too" became quite long and he could have missed out on some really good suggestions or creative input simply because people could miss that particular thread. I know I've been late to the party on some because I don't give much thought to some sections of this forum
I have two Mora's both the same, but this one I put a leather belt loop on. Don't remember the model; it originally had the moulded guard on it.
I think the original model is 511. Nice mod

Loving it so far feels very good in the hand and the sheath is fitting very solid.
I have a question though, the Morakniv logo is not engraved into the blade seems more like it laser etched, is this a new thing as most of the ones I've seen online are engraved.
Second question is how do I get my a mora badge :multi:

Then you request the badge by going to Profile -> Awards -> Show available awards -> then you find the Mora user award and click the request icon (hand getting a medal) and post the link to your thread/topic in the reason (just don't forget to hit the Request award after it):ahhh
Thanks for explaining that Styx :salute: now I will have to put some serious thought on how to christen my mora :multi:

Well Gaute sent me the Bushcraft Triflex in the pass arsound :salute: he also very kindly added a old Classic 2.0 to clean up,it was pretty blunt so I'm sharpening it up,we bonded with blood :D
According to old sayings, the No 2/0 is truly your knife now :D
It looks way better already. :tu: The previous owner had not been nice to it.

:salute: Thanks again Gaute it's my style of Mora,I've carefully removed the paint from the handle and cleaned the blade up,I'm getting it's scandi grind slowly back,it's fighting me but it's getting there,then I'll patina it again as adds character :tu:

Yes and no.
I was in sweeden the other day and picked up a No2, not to be confused with the No2/0. And its very similar to the No 1 in size, but with a beefier slightly longer blade. I wondered why they have two so similar knives in production. I guess the answer is they wont. :(

On another note I've been reading and researching more on scandi grind and me thinks I'll be doing something that a lot of folks will find as heresy - knock off the shoulders of the Mora Classic. There has been a lot of debate over the years over why the Mora is so effective and some suggest that it would be even better once we actually finished the product we buy (the low cost implying they are unfinished) and sharpened it properly. Now that properly for some means going scandivex, for some full convex, and for me it sure seems like an interesting way to go.
What sparked this is that I found some old documents where I was noting my thoughts on performance between the Classic #1 and an Opinel No.8

I watched a video some time ago by an american knifemaker (was it you that posted it?) that claimed that the scandi grind on the moras originally was ment as a half finished grind, so that the buyer could put their own grind on it after buying it.

Could be. I think it might have been Murray Carter.
When I looked at my old notes and thought about the last couple of weeks (since I'm home now, I do most of the cooking and prefer my knives over the kitchen knives) Opinel and SAKs did perform better in pure cutting performance due to a lack of wedging. Moras cut extremely well with their thin stock and holy smurf angle (about 11° per side if I recall correctly) but I have to wonder if I might be missing out on peak performance as an all around knife.
Now the Scandi grind or single bevel saber or what ever one wishes to call it has a reputation for being an excellent grind for woodworking and ease of sharpening. Oddly enough most of my knives end up with a slight convex due to rather quick sharpening in hand and no longer using jigs, systems or even setting down the stone (might even put up a Spyderco Sharpmaker up for a trade). It could be argued that convex is harder to maintain or that scandi requires more time since more metal needs to be taken off and I won't go into that as I can't prove either one.
What really has the gears in my head turning is the uproar of scandivex. Can't question the durability of it, but the logic sounds plausible. Biggest issue with it is the logical fallacies (read: pure garbage) that many of the largest proponents of it have said (read: spewed out) in regards to other knife related topics.

Im not familiar with the scandivex grind. Is it a flat convex grind or just a rounding of the shoulders of a scandi grind?
A picture/figure would be great. 😊

Post by: styx on July 14, 2017, 02:45:53 PM
Technically a Scandi grind is a zero saber grind due to the lack of a secondary bevel at the cutting edge. Spyderco has grinds very well explained so I'll attach a photo of their short and sweet explanations as a reference.
So the scandivex, for lack of a better word, would fall between a full convex and a flat saber grind as it is now commonly done in the industry. A great example of it would be the BRKT Bushcrafter (pic attached), although I'm sure the same people who would pull their hair out would now hit me with large, heavy objects as this can also be described as a flat convex grind, convex saber grind and probably a few more names I'm not aware of.
A lot of this came from differentiating between a full height convex grind and a partial convex grind. Another drop of confusion came when some custom makers started selling proprietary grinds, probably in an effort to get away from the notion of having sharpened prybars with a convex edge which came from many people modifying their BK2s, ESEE-5s and similar knives with a convex edge to the height of the primary bevel (reference pic included).
To be perfectly honest I have no idea what I'll get with this experiment or if I'll just ruin a perfectly good knife. Since I won't be touching the edge, my suspicion is that the knife will perform somewhat better on deeper cuts on stiffer materials but will keep its performance in shallow cuts even though the edge might get a bit harder to control in regards of biting too deep.

Another point of discussion this could bring up is the general popularity of scandi ground blades. It is no secret I admire the LT Wright Genesis as a grail, but oddly enough I'm leaning more towards the full flat ground version than the scandi. Only huge caveat here is the way we use knives, i.e. are there more woodcrafting tasks or are the tasks very widespread and since all grinds can accomplish the same tasks with various degrees of difficulty, how much of an impact can tasks that rely more on brute force (like batoning) have in the choices of grinds.
Sure it is hard to picture Mora Classic being pushed into such a task, especially since most people will have a hatchet, axe or large knife. However it does get tricker when going with a minimal tool loadout since the big tasks aren't foreseen as a huge need.
To bring you closer to my current mindset you can take a little thought experiment:
You're hiking from point A to point B in a familiar ecosystem. You can have what you can carry on your back, belt and pockets. The hike is organized in such a way that it allows for a comfortable pace, stops to have a drink, get some food (fishing, small game hunting and/or what you brought with you) and set up a shelter that you are hiking with (again your preferred system) but you'll still be on the move for 5 days. What is your tool load out and is every gram of that equipment really necessary? If you want to make things more complicated, you can restrict yourself with a weight limit too. :D :D :D
Post by: ducttapetech on July 14, 2017, 06:10:28 PM
For me it was between the Companion and Classic #1 since I have only those two. Easy decision in that regards.I have thought about this often and sometimes do. If I am going out to set up a base camp, then scout from there, I am a tad more tool heavy. Knife, saw and hawk. Then when I got out from the camp, I have very little. Backpacking or day long hikes, not so tool heavy. I can get buy easily with just Mora Bushcraft Black. I actually rarely baton even if I just have my knife. When I do, rarely anything above 2 inches for fire prep or say, carving a spoon. Most of the time I can get a fire without feather sticks. Good to keep practice though.

I find it interesting that you are thinking full flat. Nothing wrong at all with that mind you. But I have never much cared for them. I seems like I could never master them. A hollow grind, no problem. But I am pretty sure that is because I grew up with hollow grind hunting knives. Scandi grind for some reason just works for me. First time I used one, it just spoke to me.
Post by: Grathr on July 14, 2017, 06:19:10 PM
I can imagine the knife will become a better slicer if you round off the shoulders. But like Ducttapetech said, you might sacrefice some fine control, then again you might not. It might just be different and need a little practice to regain the fine control.
Question is, will you notice the difference on such a thin blade as a classic no1?
Looking forward to see the result. :popcorn:

The hike is organized in such a way that it allows for a comfortable pace, stops to have a drink, get some food (fishing, small game hunting and/or what you brought with you) and set up a shelter that you are hiking with (again your preferred system) but you'll still be on the move for 5 days. What is your tool load out and is every gram of that equipment really necessary? If you want to make things more complicated, you can restrict yourself with a weight limit too. :D :D :D
I find it interesting that you are thinking full flat. Nothing wrong at all with that mind you. But I have never much cared for them. I seems like I could never master them. A hollow grind, no problem. But I am pretty sure that is because I grew up with hollow grind hunting knives. Scandi grind for some reason just works for me. First time I used one, it just spoke to me.
The one knife to solve everything.
Isnt that why we accumulate knives? The search for that amazing knife that will do everything? :D
If you are batoning a lot the convex grind is better than the scandi, no doubt.
In my limited experience, convex ground knives are what I call "quick and dirty" knives. They eat wood in big chunks and can take a beating, but can be a bit of a pain for finer stuff. But that might just be because I grew up with scandis and have been using them all my life.
Id probably bring a scandi and a light hatchet.

Ok. I think I got it.
I can imagine the knife will become a better slicer if you round off the shoulders. But like Ducttapetech said, you might sacrefice some fine control, then again you might not. It might just be different and need a little practice to regain the fine control.
Question is, will you notice the difference on such a thin blade as a classic no1?
Looking forward to see the result. :popcorn:
I might notice it on one thing - carrots. For me they are the best indicator of wedging. Also maybe on cross grain cuts on wood.
For me it was between the Companion and Classic #1 since I have only those two. Easy decision in that regards.I have thought about this often and sometimes do. If I am going out to set up a base camp, then scout from there, I am a tad more tool heavy. Knife, saw and hawk. Then when I got out from the camp, I have very little. Backpacking or day long hikes, not so tool heavy. I can get buy easily with just Mora Bushcraft Black. I actually rarely baton even if I just have my knife. When I do, rarely anything above 2 inches for fire prep or say, carving a spoon. Most of the time I can get a fire without feather sticks. Good to keep practice though.
Another point of discussion this could bring up is the general popularity of scandi ground blades. It is no secret I admire the LT Wright Genesis as a grail, but oddly enough I'm leaning more towards the full flat ground version than the scandi. Only huge caveat here is the way we use knives, i.e. are there more woodcrafting tasks or are the tasks very widespread and since all grinds can accomplish the same tasks with various degrees of difficulty, how much of an impact can tasks that rely more on brute force (like batoning) have in the choices of grinds.
Sure it is hard to picture Mora Classic being pushed into such a task, especially since most people will have a hatchet, axe or large knife. However it does get tricker when going with a minimal tool loadout since the big tasks aren't foreseen as a huge need.

Actually it is more about my obsession with getting the most out of everything. If I'm lifting in running shoes, I'm leaving kilograms out there in the ether. If I'm drinking for the sake of drinking and going with beer, I'm leaving promilles out there in the ether. If I'm relying on a tool for a specific niche and not giving it the environment for optimal performance, I'm doing that tool a disservice as any lackluster part of its performance is user error. At least that is my take on it.
I am not 100% if I want to find the knife that can do everything. I mean, once you found it, what would be the point of living after that? Sure we still have beer... :D
I'm more of a whiskey man. And finding a knife that can do everything has been done. Look at any knife with a somewhat decent edge and chances are that you can do everything you need to with it, given some thought as to how to achieve that. But finding a knife that can live in a backpack because it can take on lighter woodcrafting chores, spread peanut butter, gut fish, do food prep and not get messed up by quick and dirty "touch ups" is the current goal.
Would I say that is the best knife for everything? Hell no. Can't open a can, a bottle of beer and certainly won't survive those "hold my beer and watch this" moments. There are a lot better knives for that application out there. Cold Steel SRK springs to mind oddly fast :cheers:

I knocked the shoulder off of my carbon clipper and also sharpen it on three angles which makes it convex and I can attest that it makes a rather noticeable difference in the wedging department. This is our kitchen utility knife and I use it a lot on cardboard and plastic and rounding the shoulders definitely increases the performance. Also I might add this knife really holds an edge well. It gets beaten like a rented mule and even when it becomes dull it will still cut fairly well :tu:

so I wanted to look at the profile grind of the Mora 2000 as it is similar to Kansbol. My wife has used it for a few odds and ends tasks but I was blown away by how sharp it still was.
It had a slightly rolled tip so I ran it over my Sharpmaker ceramic rods just to "freshen" it up. After just a little maintenance, her Mora 2000 is about as sharp as anything I own! I have a handful of 2.5mm Moras, but none with the profile grind as on the 2000 and Kansbol. Wow! Is the profile grind that much easier to make razor sharp?

As you can see it does look a bit more convexed. In a practical sense I've managed to stab myself while making something jambalaya like (pics of food when it is done). The wedging issue is already much better and slicing ability has improved on soft materials like very ripe tomatoes (that's how I stabbed myself)

How does it perform on wood?
Post by: Grathr on July 25, 2017, 11:42:59 AM
I desided to modifie it a bit. I squared the spine, sanded the handle, burned it and oiled it and gave the blade a patina.
I also stumbeled upon the leather sheath online. According the seller, it is a Mora sheath. Looks like it originally was for a fishing knife, but fits the No2 nicely. (And I only paid $2,50 for it :D Too bad he only had one, or I would have bought a bunch to share with you)
I oiled the sheath as well.
Im not sure I improved it. In retrospect I think the red handle would have looked better. Also, if drop it, I sure wont find it! :facepalm:

How does it perform on wood?
The board I tested it on gave the following results:
Scandi - average cut depth was 5mm
1st modification - average cut depth was 8mm
The problem is that I snapped the board and threw it away before taking pictures. Since the first cut depth was so low, we can safely say it was a rather hard wood.
Nice job on the modifications

well I am late with the experiment since some things popped up (if you really want to hear my annoyed rants just ask). but here is step #1 - softening the shoulders. knocking the shoulders off entirely is somewhat impossible without moving the knife to a zero grind

I bet Sanrenmu also use sandvik steel because of the consistency of the steel, making it ideal for mass production.

Some of them state in their websites that they don't ship outside their own Country.
Others just don't offer the option.
Usually, in the checkout, the address section has no option to add another Country, also, no mention of different shipping rates.
As you say, it could be worth a try to contact them to enquire.
I must admit to be struggling to follow some of the payment options via bank transfer systems or "blue media".
I've actually found one in Poland that will take PayPal.
"PayPal If you want to pay by PayPal, select the payment method: "Any transfer" and make payment manually from your PayPal account to the store address: As the title of payment, enter the order number, which you will receive from us by e-mail. Please tell us in the "Notes Orders" you pay via Paypal."
Things are looking up. :tu:

I give up!
I've just spent 3 days looking at the websites of every company in Europe trying to buy an Olive or Black Mora Viking 660 & a Black Mora Scout 440.
Almost every one I found with them in stock would not ship international, some of them nearly burnt out my google translate trying to follow the instructions for the ones that would. :poh:
I actually found a black Mora Scout 440 for sale in New Zealand for £16.49 + £24.81 shipping :ahhh
http://www.top-gear.co.nz/shop/KNIVES+AND+MULTITOOLS/HUNTING+KNIVES/Mora+Scout+Knife+Stainless+Steel+-+440.html
I'll take a side-by-side if you like (and if I can find them both at the same time), but it should be noted that the Scout and the Viking aren't quite the same size, with the Scout being a more slender knife in all dimensions.

I've been spoiled in recent years being able to use PayPal, most shops in Europe that ship internationaly asked for an IBAN payment.
That involved my laptop overloading.
I had the shops website on, my email account, my online bank & google translate. :poh:
Only snag is the bank reckon on 4 days for the money to show in the sellers bank account, that will be even longer probably with doing this late on a Friday evening.
My bank also charged me £5 for the service :ahhh

I think you'll find it worth it, the Scout is one of the more unique and little known knives they've done. Mine has seen me though a few camping and paddling trips and hasn't stumbled yet.

That's the Scout ordered from Slovakia.
My next task is the Viking. I've found a nice olive green & black one for sale in Romania for a good price.
I'm just trying to work my way through their website to see if they ship internationaly.
I've sent off loads of enquiries lately but had replies such as this one;
"Dear Sir,
I am sorry, but we are unable to deliver the products to the UK. We sell
goods only in Poland.(Insert here most other European Countries also).
Have a nice day
Best Regards,"

Anyone in the UK looking for a Mora Viking 660 in blue (I'm not sure if they ship international).
£8.50 free postage.
I've not had any dealings with this company before but it looks like a bargain. :tu:

It has a patina after being soaked for 2 hours in vinegar the day I got it.
Now it has some red spots. Are these rusts or just blood stains? Sometimes after use, she just washes the Mora with water and after air drying it, puts it in its sheath. Sometimes when I'm in the house I put mineral oil on the blade.
Sorry for the crappy pics

Doesn't look like rust to me, but you can take a bit of steel wool to it if you want to be safe. Stropping with a compound might work too, not sure how aggressive those compounds are though
I'll try the steel wool route.
Good thing about this is I'm now thinking of getting an SS Mora :D
Post by: an0nemus on September 16, 2017, 03:13:36 PM
I think it is rust. I'd avoid air drying it after washing and that should solve your problem.
Sorry for the noob question: rust in knife is not good for food prep, right? Should we then oil the Mora immediately after washing? :think:
I think I'll get an SS Mora next :D

Oil sometimes perhaps, but I'd just clean it directly after use and wipe it dry. :)

Latest update, an email received today from Slovakia, 4 weeks after I ordered a Mora Scout.
"Hello,
we would like to inform you about your order. Knife Mora Scout 440 is not posiblle shiping to you, because his production was over. Like compensation we can offer to you this model (looking this link https://www.resetar.sk/noze/pevny-noz-mora-3618 ) . It is same knife, but this model has reflex orange color and notchs on the blade.
If you want this model knife, please send email for us. If don´t we will send your many back on your bank account.
Thank you for answer."
Smurfing Gutted I am!
Days spent trawling the internet, finally found a Scout 440 from a seller who would ship internationaly, went through the torment of International bank transfers, IBAN numbers etc., translating English to Slovakian & vice versa & 4 weeks later he tells me he doesn't have one! :rant:

I just installed the 3rd new ferro rod for my Bushcraft since getting it, that happens when they're around 50% and won't stay in the holder anymore. :salute:
I know it's a knife not a lighter, but it's just always there........ :hatsoff:

My opinion is the knife is still better than it's price, so I do not mind.
I find it discombobulating that a knife can be made at the top end of the planet, shipped to the bottom end of the planet and still cost so little :salute:

Believe it or not, the saw is just a cheap Coleman. But I have used it for about 5 years so far. Cuts pretty good and has not broke yet.Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping it was not to boring.

Do you have to go far to get into such a great area? I'd have to drive about 1.5 hours away to get into such an area. It'd be nice to be able to "get away" more often.

I also have a cheap saw. I sharpened the teeth up and it chews wood like a rabid beaver. Mines a Corona that I picked up for $2 at the flea market. I have wanted to try a Silky boy but haven't pulled the trigger since mine works so well. Nice sheath BTW for the saw.I don't have far to go at all. I live out in the sticks. Just walk pass some fields and I am in like sin. We do have some nice state parks close also that are close. About 30 minutes away.

now to Mora. used the Mystery today for some dead animal prep work and despite the almost 5" blade it wasn't difficult to skin, remove silver skin, cut out tendons and do the necessary butchering and smaller processing to get a stew going. feels great in hand (better than the Companion oddly enough), precise and manoeuvrable without it being taxing

My one concern with the Clipper though (as with most Mora's) is the short(ish) tang. I'm sure it doesn't affect normal use at all, but I know I felt a lot more confident using my Izula II as it was thicker with a full tang.
Post by: Zed on November 07, 2017, 04:49:05 PM
Cheers Zed - Since swapping my only other fixed blade with Zoidberg This is once again my go to. Ive just put a lanyard hole in the handle and have added the fire steel to the sheath. I'll post some pics once it's completely finished.

Some are longer than others,the clippers is pretty short,the problem people have with Moras is they buy them and then Batton with them and wonder why they break :-[ a Mora will last a long time if treated like a knife :salute:

Makes sense to me mate. :cheers:

I've been checking out the Companion, Classic 1, Pro C... pretty sure I want to go Carbon.
I just want to have a decent fixed blade to take fishing, hiking, camping etc.
Any suggestions?

Going to purchase my first Mora. Looking around, it looks like there are several models under $20 - $30...

I have a vintage classic from the 30s that's still running strong and I think that says a lot. For newer options I've really taken a liking to the 2000, the scalloped tip is great for fine work and the handle grips even when soaking wet or in -30 conditions

I recall someone sying that the modern handles can take on the scent of fish so that might be a factor (Zoidberg maybe?)

Maybe a 510?
All are good :)
Are you fishing in salt water?
If so I would recomend a Stainless steel one. The Mora Carbon blades rusts pretty fast after contact with salt water.

how often should I oil carbon blades?
It depends on usage and local climate etc but use > clean > oil > store is good.
Most of mine have a patina so they don't get oiled as often.
Actually that isn't true, they don't get oiled because I'm lazy and don't mind a little rust or pitting on them.

Some friends are buying Alox SAKs as group buy over at DLT. Since it will practically be free shipping for me, I decided to order a Mora Robust ($14.95) as my 2nd Mora. Why this model? Primarily because of this video
https://youtu.be/fKlcBpKbAvM
didn't we warn you that they are addictive? congrats on the purchase

I was never warned :rofl: the amazon sale prices were too good last week, got a Kansbol, Eldris, army green companion and the aforementioned BC, but I was waiting almost a full year to get them at the low sale prices, now I feel pretty satisfied and don't think I will be feeding the beast for awhile(mostly because I'm totally broke :rofl:) But love these new additions, they are all impressive fixed blades.

I already have the stainless version, and Im happy with that. So I will probably not get the carbon steel one.
Post by: styx on January 13, 2018, 03:10:41 PM
I for one would still like to see a head to head between the Garberg, Kansbol, TOPS BOB, Terava Jakkaripuuko 110 (hope I spelled that right) and Fallkniven F1 or S1 (depending on which model is the closest in size to these). Actually since I'm at it one could put the BRKT Gunny and Bushcrafter and Becker BK16 in the mix to see how they perform on different tasks, preferably in one of those wet and cold places (mostly because I believe that any of those would work great when slipping and rusting aren't any sort of a factor)
Post by: Grathr on January 13, 2018, 06:09:31 PM
wait 'till it starts shipping world wide. and when we find out the prices. plus I think a lot of people here are perfectly fine with stainless since only real advantage carbon has is the ability to spark with a rock. i'm sure someone will say sharpening but how many people find themselves long enough outside for that to be a real concern, modern sharpening implements work well on stainless and there is the whole debate easier sharpening vs going longer between sharpening

Post by: styx on January 13, 2018, 09:44:33 PM
This mind sound odd but we can assume that the average person will not spend half an hour every day (at minimum) doing everything to preserve the blade, and the last prolonged period is to see what would realistically happen if one were to get a bit careless. Just think of putting a wet knife in the sheath type of absent mindedness that can happen and has had an impact on a knife in my personal experience.
You can also notice that the first 5 I've named are quite similar in size, grind (except Fallkniven and the Kansbol to a degree), most are made in Europe which means more readily available at a more affordable price (except TOPS) and have some sort of an overlapping handle (again except TOPS). Even with the 3 additions, it can be argued that they are all production knives at different price points (maybe BRKT falls into midtech but I'd disagree there simply due to their sheer volume of production on these 2 models).

I have however come to appreciate certain stainless steels, that was re-affirmed by a 30 year old Kershaw I'll hopefully post some pics of soon.
As far as the Garberg is concerned, after feeling it in hand I'm not likely to buy either, it feels heavy.

ah cool, thx Zed & Styx. One more thing, in that previous Canterbury Vid he says Mora "Ka Niv" really thought it was Mora "Knife", but I think he would know the correct pronunciation, but damn thats tough to say/change my perception after years of saying it wrong :rofl:
Morakniv is correct.
I guess its kind of hard to pronounce correctly by non Scandinavians.
I think Nate actually nailed the pronounciation in this video (6:44)

I find it interesting that in French (a Romance language with a tad of Germanic in it) they have the word canif for pocket knife.
Must be an old Germanic relic. German and English have quite a few French words, example

The stainless version is more forgiving than the carbon but in my experience you'll still want to rinse off and dry both of them after fishing.

Hence we herd cows (German) but eat beef (French).I find it interesting that in French (a Romance language with a tad of Germanic in it) they have the word canif for pocket knife.

I don't have a 511, but most Mora sheaths are better than what you've experienced.
I have a few companions, kansbol, bushcraft, eldris and 2 craftline all have good sheath retention, this was the only problematic one, but its much better with the tape.

I’ve got two 511’s, the bottom one from 1983 and the top from 2015. The sheath on the 1983 is split so I retired it. The sheath on the 2015 is worse than useless

how is it worse than useless?

It doesn’t retain the knife, the slightest nudge will knock it out
they're far from useless- :twak:
if the tape trick doesn't work use them for other stuff. :tu: I've used my orange Mora sheath to carry a Maxam knife and a Hultafors knife without issues, and the green one from my Companion HD has been used on occasion to sheath pruners and scissors and they fit perfectly there.
they are good sheaths and the slight issues they might have from one bad batch that slipped QC can be remedied with tape, adhesives or heating and molding the sheath itself :salute:

Just recently told somebody I have no buyer's remorse about my Mora and Enlan collections, so cheap it doesn't matter.
The one glaring exception is the black blade anniversary edition of that same Companion.......double the price + a bit more :facepalm:
......And I would now trade all my Enlans for one Spyderco :facepalm:

From left to right:
1) craft line robust high Q in carbon steel
2) orange companion F in stainless (I have two of these, one in each car's get home bag)
3) 546 in stainless
4) 120 in stainless
The robust sees use outdoors, but I use the 120 the most to whittle. It has one of the most comfortable handles on any knife I've used. Other than the sheath, it's one of my all time favorite knives.

Often, mainly for the fun of it.
The handle is very short for a good slicing grip and the blade too short and thick for many food items. good for oranges, too small for roast - see photograph
Excellent for pocket carry and general cutting tasks.

I use my Jääkäripuukko to cut kindling, it's great for battoning (I'd go as far as saying it's the best knife I've used for that... so far), I wouldn't mind seeing how the Mora does... providing you be happy whacking your knife with a dirty big bit of wood that is?

Does anyone have the 120 carving knife and can compare it's handle size to any of the "classic" moras?
I love the handle size of the 120, its the most comfortable knife of any brand or type I've ever used. I'm tempted to get a larger blade classic style, but don't know if their handles are the same size and shape :think:
Ideally I'd like the 120 handle paired with a 3-3.5" blade :tu:

Very nice! I have been using one for years.
Me too, that's probably my favorite of all Mora.
Ducttapetech, do you still use your SOG tomahawk much? I remembered you used to go outdoor and chop some wood up for a quick tea/coffee. :D

Got 2 Eldris’ one in red and one in blue for my oldest daughters’ first knives.
Also picked up a Garberg for myself. Still trying to decide if I like it enough to justify over the old HQ robust or regular companion. :think:
L-R: Eldris, 120, 546, companion, HQ robust and Garberg.

It’s funny (sad?) how many of these I have and how little use they get.
I have 2 of the orange companions that live in get home bags in the 2 vehicles. The 546 was given to me by a friend and it’s my utility blade substitute, but usually I just use a disposable utility blade. The Garberg is too new to have used yet.
Basically I use the 120 quite a bit for whittling and the robust when I feel I “need” a fixie for a job.
Hence the dilemma of whether to move the Garberg on. It’s cool and seems very robust and well made, but it will likely just sit in a drawer.

I like my Moras... Companion, Craftline Basic 546, and Craftline Pro S.
Only thing that bothers me a bit is the smaller ones (Craftline 546 and Pro S) have a small gap around the blade where it meets the handle. I can't help but think water and other material could get in there and start to erode the blade within the handle.
I'm not sure yet how I'll address this. I was thinking of just jamming some kind of resin in there.

What amazes me is any knife that can make little curly strips from paper. Not many of my knives are sharp enough to do this, but this Mora can.

Here’s my Mora Companion. I used boiled vinegar to patina the blade after filing the spine 90 degrees for use with a ferro rod. The sheath has a ferro rod holder and rod added along with a sharpening stone. I wrapped the sheath with firecord and under the wrap is an emergency fishing kit, some sewing needles, a couple of water purification tablets and a few wraps of duct tape. I also added a couple of ranger bands to secure the knife and stone.Great set up Tinner :like:

Here's a favorite of mine. I put the sheath together from scraps :whistle:. I really like this little Mora. Its one heck of a cutter. I can whittle and do some good work with this knife. I mostly use it in my yard but I have taken it along with me camping to have some bushcraft fun.

When I first saw Companion, I said: What? This is a knife for knives fan? Why? It looks like a normal kitchen knife! But it has perfect grip, cuts like hell and costs peanuts (with sheath included).

Picked up this Erik Frost Mora in really rough shape. Lightly sanded the handle and blade then used 1000 and 3000 stones to get the edge up. After I stropped using a few compounds. She's ready for some beeswax and whatever I can throw at her. My KJ Mora is one of my absolute favorites ( red handle ).
Good job, another one rejuvinated :hatsoff:

A leather belt loop would go nicely on that. I think the Mora Eldris has one. Maybe the Garberg too.

Maybe the Garberg too.I have seen a few places selling a leather strap loop that I thought about trying, butdon’t know if it would fit because it says it is for Eldris, Kansbol, and Garberg. I think I can do something similar with paracord.

Yeah the one for the Eldris won't fit the Companion. The Eldris is a little chubbier. And stubby. I'll get one once I decide on a colour I like best.That is what I was afraid of.
This is what I came up with today.

I used a couple layers of bicycle inner tube wrapped in paracord. The split ring is held by paracord. I may do a paracord belt loop that is attached at another time, but I figured this should do for now.

It’s not every knife that’s light enough and so well balanced you can place it on a flower branch and it’ll stay put while still being a little workhorse, loving this Eldris

I'm a bit surprised this haven't shown up yet. When I was a kid most of them had red handles and pretty much all adults had more of them than they know about and was found in garages, sheds, kitchen junkdraw and anywhere else and was in various conditions. A really common workers knife and gets treated as a disposable knife.. More or less and still is. I have had more of these than I can count

What model is this? Is it significant ly cheaper than the usual offerings to be regarded like that?

Is it significant ly cheaper than the usual offerings to be regarded like that?I just looked at one of the big retailers and they didn't have them in stock but they have one that I guess is a replacement with more modern looks on the handle and it goes for about 10 dollars. I have never bought any of mine but got then from work. You didn't buy one but a box of them

The Eldris has a compound grind, a scandi grind at the heel for heavy-duty cuts and saber-type grind on the belly and tip for fine carving and food prep. Taken from Web.I appreciate the assist! :cheers: :hatsoff:

Got there eventually but that’s some hard steel. Took about 20 minutes, after a bit of trial and error found it easiest to place the file on my knee and work the spine up and down from there.
Finished off with a couple of different grit sandpaper’s to get the grain back, strikes well but will take more work until I could make tinder shavings with it

Thought I’d sharpen the back of my companion HD for use with a ferro rod, looks so easy on YouTube :facepalm:I was wondering how much work that would take, I've probably seen some of the same videos as you.
There was another video I saw that said to flatten about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the blade nearest the tip.
That way you keep the 1/3rd near the handle more rounded
for your thumb to rest on when feathering wood for fire sticks. :dunno: Could save you some extra work, just a thought.

It’s good enough to strike a ferro rod and still comfortable so will probably leave as is now. I did more for the experience than actual need as always have other things I could use on me

Not the smartest place but only got the vise the other day and as the TV sits on a plank was best place to test it not having a shed or garage.
I was careful on this test not to point the file at the TV, but will have to find a more sensible spot, an accident waiting to happen :twak:

Wonderful collection. Liking that Burgundy sheath. They are all :drool:Thank you Aloha, I bought that one specifically for the sheath....little did I know the knife inside is likely my sharpest Mora and that is a treat because they already come super sharp...I didn't know they could get any sharper!

Any change to get out and use your Mora is a perfect time. I am a huge fan of backyard camping with young kids. What a great way to teach them in a comfortable environment. Pitch the tent, have cooler with food/drink, use a fire pit, and enjoy. Nice thing is the latrine is close by.
Now as for other Moras. The Eldris is great and since I got my partner one there is another flavor available, the light duty. I also really like the Classic Mora with red handle. You decide the right size but man this is a neat knife. You can get one with finger guard as well as one called the Scout with full guard. I have one of the full guard ones, its an older Frost one and full disclosure, its small.

:like:I whole-heartedly agree about the backyard camping. I'd much rather find out he's not in to sleeping outdoors when it's only a 30 second walk rather than a 3 hour drive back home.

I'm really itching for an Eldris now. And a Classic. It seems that my SAK collecting has now turned in to Mora collecting. Man this site can get expensive!

I totally understand. I love collecting SAKs, but I also love the Mora knives....so much value you get for your money with the Moras.

However, the Basic and Pro have a small gap between the base of the handle and the sides of the blade where water can and does get into. It's only a very narrow gap, but I think I should fill it somehow.
I'm debating trying to melt the handle into the sides of the blade, or fill it with hot glue or something that has a bit of give to it. Any ideas?

I think its fairly unbeatable because its 13€... There's no hesitation in puting it at hard work.

I think I'm qualified to join this club. This Garberg doesn't see much use (mostly because I live in a state that makes carry of a fixed blade a PITA), but it's very capable of handling every task I've thrown at it.

I have a Companion, Basic 546, and Pro. Absolutely great knives.
However, the Basic and Pro have a small gap between the base of the handle and the sides of the blade where water can and does get into. It's only a very narrow gap, but I think I should fill it somehow.
I'm debating trying to melt the handle into the sides of the blade, or fill it with hot glue or something that has a bit of give to it. Any ideas?
Sorry I missed this the first time. I would close that gap for sure. I don't think I'd melt the handle tho. Hot glue does seem the easiest and should work. If not then you can move on to epoxy. Good luck if you haven't already fixed this.

This is my latest, I believe it is a #1, but other 1s I have seen do not have the finger guard!
The person I purchased from was not aware of the model and indicated the sheath was new as he neglected the first one. But assured me the knife was always cleaned and oiled after any use. Any help confirming or correcting will be appreciated.

I had read just last night, that handles originally were made with mahogany, then when difficult to obtain, switch to birch, and painted or stained red to resemble mahogany.
And then finally, the present handles seen today.
