Despite the legendary status of Morakniv across the knife market, I was skeptical for no other reason than my need to personally assess its merit. This concept of 4-inch 12C27 blade boasting the ability to chop small tree limbs while also having the finesse to finely filet a fish seemed far-fetched. I can now state with full certainty the reality of the Mora: This knife is everything it claims to be and more. It's more than just a back-up knife, a throw around, or a cheap way to gift a buddy you don't like that much. It is the real deal. For the price, I am not sure there is anything else on the market worth entertaining before you give this one a shot. Now I know what everyone is talking about.

I have been collecting knives off and on for 20+ years. Always heard good things about mora yet I never made the purchase, until 3 weeks ago. First I purchased a Mora companion in stainless steel. When it arrived I decided to put it through an assortment of abuse. At the price I figure I might as well see what they can handle. I chopped and hacked at a downed tree in my yard. Batoned all sorts of smaller logs and even one just shorter than the blade. I beat the living poop out of this knife to see what it was capable of. Usually I wouldn't baton with a small knife unless it was absolutely necessary, but for the price I didn't see a problem with breaking one while discovering its abuse limits. After torturing this knife I went online and ordered a bushcraft orange and 3 more companions. To my surprise these knives completely outshined alot of my more expensive knives. The quality for the price is unbelievable. Once the bushcraft arrived I put it through a similar vigorous routine to tests its limits. Again, the knife handled everything I threw at it. So I went online and ordered a Pro S. It will arrive tomorrow and I will put it through the same absurd testing that I would usually never put a blade through. Why? Price point and discovery. Cant learn the limits if we don't test them right? At this price I can afford a few fails. So far both the bushcraft orange and companion have exceeded my expectations. The excitement of receiving the pro s tomorrow actually has me up writing a review at 2 in the morning. Its not often when I cant sleep but these knives really are that good. When you factor in price, comfort, durability, ease of cutting; you really cant beat them. Moras are quickly becoming my favorite knives and I have owned thousands. I absolutely love these knives. I will be buying more of these, lots more. Next ones will be carbon.

I have been very happy with all my Mora knives up till I revived this one. It was purchased a couple months before Christmas as a gift for my son. When he opened on Christmas he found a 1" blemish at the base of the knife. I know I am too late to return since return window is long past. Very surprised with the lack of quality control on this Knife. I have apoxomately 10 other Mora's all of which have been great.

Everyone knows that mora knives are great. I have both the older version and more recently the new one. The old one had a very rough finish on the back of the blade, see picture. I drilled a hole in the pommel to accommodate a wrist lanyard, great for batoning. The steel is reasonably strong for the price, don't expect s30v or any other ultra premium steels, but it works very well. I have chopped small branches, batoned large pieces of wood around 4". the only bit of wear there really is is the rust that developed on the blade, I sanded it off and at the same time tried to create a sharper edge for striking fire steel. I carry the older one on my 10-22 solo camp/hunt/survival kit and it fits perfect and adds very little weight.

I highly recommend this products to anyone that works or has fun in the outdoors.

I've owned a pair of the classic wooden handled Mora knives for years and love them. Those feature a high carbon steel blade, and I mostly use them in place of what a lot of people use a utility knife with a straight razor. In other words, for tearing down boxes, opening bags of feed/cat/dog food, cutting zip ties, opening clamshell plastic packages, and so on. They are also great for wood carving, and as a lightweight no frills knife to take on hiking/camping/hunting trips.

So because of my positive experience with Mora, I decided to give this stainless Mora Companion a chance, thinking that it would perhaps be more suitable for occasional use in the kitchen, and or around wet environments. It did not disappoint.

The handle on these knives are gripper and more comfortable than the wooden handle on my 'classic' Mora, and the sheath design is also improved. The stainless blade does not hold an edge quite as long as the high carbon steel alternative, but of course the trade-off is that it's more suitable for use in wet environments. This blade is also slightly thicker than the blades on my older Mora knives, but it seems to slice just as well.

Speaking of blade thickness, the trend with 'outdoor knives' seems to be very thick blades, which are good for certain things such as splitting logs for a fire, but on knives of this size (about a 4" blade) I certainly prefer the Mora design philosophy of having a thinner blade, which is typically better for slicing, cutting, and wood carving. Another thing I love about Mora knives is that the lower price means that you won't be tempted to 'baby' it, as you might with some expensive alternatives. Give it a try and it might just become your favorite knife.
