MoraknivCompanion (S) Stainless Steel Fixed-Blade Knife with Sheath, Dala Red, 4.1 Inch

I am a huge fan of Morakniv. I don't know that I will ever buy another brand of outdoor and utility knife.Before the rest, it's important to note that this knife is in what Morakniv calls "Dala red." It's supposed to imitate mahogany, so it is rather brown, too. I'm not sure I'd have bought THIS particular color if I knew that-- the display pictures are a much brighter red -- I'm worried about losing it in the woods.Another thing -- not a complaint or a con, but a wake up call -- this knife is incredibly sharp. Not for a person who can't maintain full attention on the knife edge while using. Always know where you edge is and where your fingers are, and never the twain shall they meet! I'm serious; it's not for a kid, either. It's dangerous! Not in a cute way. When I got my first Morakniv my hands and fingers were covered in slices and knicks, for weeks, and they are all like papercut thin, but deeper, because that's the kind of point the edge comes to. In that time, it got to the point where I simply marveled at the knowledge that I had YET AGAIN cut myself. After telling myself 50 times already to watch it. That point is dangerous, but very useful in boring holes in woods. WATCH IT! Closely!After those cautions: I am a serious fan!! I'm here to buy another Companion because they are sooooo perfect for my uses. Everyday I'm in the outdoors -- yard and farm work, plus camping and learning survival skills in the woods, Building, too.This almost indestructible knife actually has a straight-forward destroyer -- me. I've ruined the edge on the first Morakniv I bought by trying to sharpen it and only rounding off the beautiful, crisp edge and changing the bevel by accident. As I'm not a machine, I'll never be able to recapture that type of edge, so I gave up and come back for more. Don't sharpen it on any type of stone! Only use a sharpening steel to remove the burrs that form during use. Morakniv steel is very strong; I failed to see the edge did not need to reshaped or sharpened. Believe me, I've watched a ton of knife sharpening YT videos and practiced technique, before and after buying. Keep the edge Morakniv gives you, as it's the best you'll ever have on this knife.Otherwise, enjoy the heck out of this knife/tool. You made the best choice!

Friends, the knife is nothing to look at. It doesn’t look cool. It’s very plain, but the handle is very ergonomic and more importantly than even that the quality of the blade is amazing. I bought a fresh scar hatchet to process some firewood for a small camping stove it was ridiculous. The effort I had to put into it. I just took one of the small logs and took.THIS knife and baton it. It cut it up almost like butter I was impressed and there wasn’t a single niche or not in the knife. It made me wanna go back and get the higher grade one

MORAKNIV is an absolutely great brand, delivering a well made knife that easily batons wood and makes whittling even easier. I'd buy 10 of these knives for the price instead of one for the cost of all 10.

Sturdy and good grip. I use it daily for fruits and vegetables in the kitchen

I used and abused this knife for months now, razor sharp and quality is great for such a small price

Processed an entire deer using this knife. It holds a great sharpness. I really like the grip that it has when your hands are slippery. Liked it so much I bought another for me and one for my son. Highly recommend.

A great value

Doesn’t rust. So far it is sharp but i think it is dulling. Have not sharpened it yet. Using it as my paring knife in kitchen. Handles well.
