Morakniv Outdoor Knife available in Grey

I bought this knife to use as a secondary, smaller knife when I am camping or kicking around the woods. For that purpose, it is extremely handy. The blade is carbon steel and ground to a zero edge scandi. This makes it bite very good into wood as well as almost everything else I have tried it on. Straight from the factory, this knife will shave hair and slice paper without any problem. The blade is under 4" and just seems to be about right for this knife. There is plenty of belly to this blade which is different than some of the Mora blades. It will whittle very good one minute and field dress game the next.The Mora Pro Robust uses the robust blade thickness of 1/8". For a Mora that is very stout. They have moved the scandi bevel up a bit however so they are able to have a sharp 27-degree edge even with the thicker blade. The normal thickness Mora blades are about 23 or 24 degrees. When I have tested these knives side by side I will admit that the normal 2.2 mm thickness knives do tend to slide a bit easier into wood. Of course, the slightly larger angle will hold up just a bit better to hard use. However, the difference is minimal. This thickness feels very stout and gives you more confidence to use it roughly. I have even pried some bark off of a tree to shave tinder without any ill effects. (Prying is not recommended, though, for ANY knife).The blade spine is not finished sharp. If you want to have the sharp 90-degree spine that everyone uses for bushcraft you will need to grind it gently. It won't take much to get where it throws sparks from a Ferro rod or scrapes bark from your marshmallow stick.The handle is extremely comfortable and secure. Someone with very large hands might find it a little too short however. My Medium-large hands fit right in between the guards both in a normal hold and in a reverse grip for chest lever cutting. The rubber over mold is slightly tacky and makes controlling the knife very easy.The sheath is the basic plastic one you get from Mora. The knife snaps in a little but will come out if inverted and shaken. A little bit of OD green shock cord provides good retention for me. The sheath clips onto a belt easily. It also has a drain hole in case things get really wet for you.With minimal care, carbon steel would be fine for camp use and is easier to sharpen. It looks like a good compromise with added strength while keeping with the inexpensive and utilitarian aspects of the Mora knives. This would be excellent for food prep, cleaning fish, general repairs and camp stuff, as well as whittling and bushcraft projects.I would say that for the price of this knife you absolutely cannot go wrong.

I'm a full tang man when it comes to knives, but the Morakniv carbon steel knife came highly recommended on a knife sharpening forum so I thought I'd give it a try.Blade size and shape is very practical, the handle size, shape and grip are all excellent. The blade can be sharpened to a remarkably sharp edge. Actually razor sharp, as in you could shave with it. (Obviously this was when carefully sharpened with a fine grit stone.) The blade is very well finished and doesn't actually look like a carbon blade to me, but I'm used to Opinel carbon blades, which aren't finished to a high shine.The sheath is tough plastic and holds the knife very well. This would make an absolutely excellent working knife, however there is a gap between the blade and the handle, which would allow water to enter the gap and set about rusting the tang of the blade. This can be resolved, but it seems a shame that it needs to be resolved. I'm still deciding what the best resolution to the problem is before I do anything about it and am keeping the knife dry until I do resolve the issue.This is a knife that arrives sharp and can be sharpened to a very fine edge. With a little fettling (something that it is right to grumble about, but actually the opportunity to personalise and improve an already great product is a rewarding pleasure), this is a very practical and sharp working knife at a very accessible price.It's not pretty, but this knife is way better than its budget price suggests. If you see it in stock, consider buying one, because these knives spend a lot of time out of stock.

This knife is exceptional for the priceIt's very sharp, so be wareThe handle has a great grip, feels good and well balance to hold, and does not slip, even if your hands get sweatyThe blade is strong and can be used for a variety of purposes and doesn't show any signs of weaknessI use this for my bush craft adventures and has been used from hunting to whittling amd it still feels as sharp as the day I bought itGreat knife, great quality, fantastic priceWould recommend

This is an excellent knife for the money, it came, sharp enough to shave hairs from ones arm! One negative is that the spine of the knife comes unfinished, I believe this is to save money, so the knife can be sold at a lower price, fair enough, it is easy enough to file it down by hand, or as I did, on a belt sander, to get a sharp square edge for using with a fire stick or producing fine, fine shavings of wood for tinder.The sheaf is functional, made of plastic, it holds the knife securely with a protruding bit inside, that fits in a channel in the knife handle. As the blade is carbon steel, one has to keep it oiled to prevent rust, I much prefer carbon steel, as it is easier to sharpen, and is a better option than stainless with knives that have a skandi bevel, as the edge is stronger, less prone to damage.All in all, I would highly recommend this knife as a very capable bushcraft knife, that is cheap enough not to worry about loosing or damaging, especially for beginners, it is great for perfecting ones sharpening skills so when you decide to upgrade, you are not going to mess up your expensive investment!I have seen a few youtube videos, where they have attempted to destroy this knife to see how tough it is, they did not succeed! It would not snap, the tip would not break off, the only damage was to the edge, which was easily remedied with a sanding belt and extensive sharpening.
