Morakniv Companion

I bought one of these a month or so ago and am extremely impressed with the quality. I paid $17 delivered and believe this is the best deal on the market.

It is marketed as a bushcraft and camping knife. I got it for cutting stuff.

That's exactly what it looks like. It should cut stuff.

Morakniv Carbon Steel Fixed-Blade Bushcraft Survival Knife with Sheath and Fire Starter, Black, 4.3 Inch https://a.co/d/73AGaaM
This one has been legit great in the years I've had it. I have started a campfire with it for giggles a f-ton of times and it excels at the task.

Doug Marcaida says that knife will cut...

 

[eruby]

That, comma, is a bona fide murder knife

Interesting. How did you pick this one?

I have somewhere between 7 and 14 of those floating around at any given moment. The stainless models I keep on the boat and they hold up better than any other knife I've used. Don't rust in the salt and stay sharp a long time. I've batoned wood with others and butchered deer with others. The edge can be tricky to resharpen without rebeveling since it's a dual bevel scandi but they hold an edge for a long time. They're your best knife per dollar for sure and not made in China which is a plus.

It was the #1 selling camping knife on Amazon with kick ass reviews- and cheap to boot.
Swedish made and most of their knives are $$$.

Sheet. I thought you was talking about some Ukrainian babe I see advertised these days.

I always buy stainless maraknivs with the orange handle. They sharpen up nice and you can always find where you put it down in the leaves.

These things are awesome, in think I might have a dozen or so. Great bang for the buck

Those are great knives. The sheath is just about perfect too.

I’ve got several iterations. The most used is an orange handled stainless serrated for stuff around the yard.

I have a couple rj1974 got me. He’s a knife aficionado and loves them. Mine have been great.

I love mora knives. It’s all I’ve used for the pass several years for dressing deer. Cheap enough that I keep a few around everywhere. in the vehicles, boat, garage, camper even in the kitchen. The scandi grind isn’t the best for slicing, but for everything else it works pretty good. Easy to clean and keep sharp. Unlike most people I prefer the carbon steel blades, except for the one on the boat. Carbon blades are just easier to sharpen.

Got one and it's been solid. No frills, just solid. Not worried if it gets lost or damaged, inexpensive to replace.

I've had several of those exact ones, paid $10 for em. They have a great, easy to sharpen scandi grind, great edge retention, handles don't slip. Sheath sucks, no if ands or buts. Will retain moisture, belt clip stinks, grabs a lot of the handle making it difficult to get a grip on when wet; however, retention on the sheath is great.

Coincidentally they are extremely light and can be packed as a fixed blade for backpacking.

They are fantastic for the price, my favorite throwaway knife. Not the sturdiest handle to blade connection but if you don't abuse it, it won't break.

I have both a Companion and a Companion HD. The HD is a bit more robust and well worth the few extra dollars. Moras are great knives and incredibly easy to sharpen.

Mora HD is the model I prefer.
