Craftline Pro (S)

Scandi grind knives excel on thin blade stock, the thin stock and taller blade really aid in this blades performance. Very slicey. Sheath retention is medium well but a ranger band or large rubber band can be used as an added layer of retention. Not at all an indestructible knife but far more sturdy than it feels. I have the carbon and stainless model and I use the stainless more around the house for a low maintenance user. A great domestic knife, with outdoor capability. You’re not going to worry too much if anything happened to this knife because of how inexpensive and available these are, plus they can handle some abuse as long as it isn’t extreme (any knife can break). Great steel with a great heat treatment, thin stock make this super easy to sharpen. Mora have been making knives for a long time and know what they are doing, at under $20 this is a must have.

This is a first impressions review of the Craftline Pro S by Morakniv Today I received 2 of these Mora Pro S knives. First, they arrived a day earlier than the earliest predicted date and in good condition. Thank you for the great customer service! Now, on to the blades... The sheath retains the blade even when its held upside down, and is constructed of a black plastic. There is a drain hole in the tip of the sheath to allow rainwater or other liquids to drain out of the sheath. The sheath attaches to you by way of a belt clip with the option of pushing the sheath down onto the belt (open bottomed belt loop) as opposed to having to thread the belt through it every time you wish to carry this blade with you. The belt loop is a part of the sheath and cannot be easily substituted for another attachment method, but the price is right at under 15 bucks!! I plan on drilling 2 holes in the sheath and threading some paracord through those so i can tie the sheath directly to my belt, or backpack. Also of note, the sheaths are stackable (The knob on the front side fits into a groove on the back side with locking tab, so it is possible to carry 2 blades "piggybacked" on each other.) Morakniv has a reputation for producing a good blade at a price you'll love. The Pro S is no exception. The handle is comfortable to hold and is made of plastic. There is enough texture in the handle's finish to give you good grip. If you wear bigger than an xl work glove, the handle may be a bit small for you, as i do wear an xl glove and it fits me with very little room to spare. The blade is Stainless Steel, with a Scandi Grind on the edge. Let me say, this blade is sharp enough for almost anyone right out of the box! I shaved off a few arm hairs as soon as I opened it up. The spine of the knife is not finished to 90 degrees for using a ferro rod in camp, but a flat file and 5 minutes of your time will surely correct this. At this price, its one to use hard and mod to your taste! Overall this blade has me impressed for the price. Its light, inexpensive, has a reputation for quality, and my GOODNESS is it SHARP!! What more can you ask for? Just buy one and thank me later!

I am a recent Morakniv convert. I still love my Essee and Spyderco knives but living in the PNW I decided I needed to add some Stainless Steel to my collection and Im pretty much EDC'ing this Pro S and or my Eldris every day now. This is the second one I bought because I got a little crazy with modifying my older one and needed a new one. So here goes the review - First of all, this is not full tang. Secondly, I do not consider myself a "Bushcrafter" but I do practice a lot of woodsmanship. I got turned onto Morakniv a while back after watching a friend process a large Elk with this very knife. It just made sense for that task, stainless steel so its easy to clean and no contaminate oils and a plastic sheath that is easy to clean and resistant to mold and stains. I every day carry this knife for a variety of reasons, I will list those reasons in the pros and cons below. Pros: Low price (I do not use the word cheap because they are not cheap they are low price) The cost to benefit ratio is astounding Good solid steel Wicked sharp out of the box Easy to touch up with stropping block Nice blade belly and tip Grip/ handle is really tacky and feels good in the hand Finger guard is great Very un-assuming- NOT TACTICOOL super knife looking- I can carry this every day without issue in most situations because it just looks very un-assuming and not "SCARY". It is a tool and it looks like a tool. The blue handle and plastic sheath just makes it look "friendly" and its Swedish... so it has to be friendly right? Sheath - This is going to go in both pros and cons - - I like the sheath because it is really easy to clean and take care of. It also has a lot of attachment options. I run a piece of paracord through the top and tie it to my belt and clip the clip to my pocket so I have a combo dangler / belt clip. I m not a fan of carrying it on my belt directly with the clip because the clip bends easy. Durable as any knife Ive owned. I carried my first version of this for a year and I put that thing through hell and it only had to be re-profiled once because I got too crazy with the edge on a piece of bone. Easy to maintain. Stainless Steel - Great for rainy weather, does not rust and easy to clean / dry and is food safe. I live in the PNW and I was sick of oiling and de-rusting my knives. Cons: I generally like the sheaths for their ease of use and carrying options but I would just love it if there was a little less flexibility in the belt portion. I feel like I immediately over stress and get stress bends right when I use them directly on my belt. I fix that by doing what I mentioned previously but it is still annoying. The bottom of the grip on this knife is not conducive to "bushcrafting" tasks for a long time and you get some hot spots on your hand if you use it for an hour or so. The spine is rounded so I had to file it down with a bastard file to get a good spark throwing 90 degree spine. All in all one of my favorite knives to use and own. It gets daily carry use just about every day that is casual clothes. Use: Daily carry, woods carry, hunting, fishing, hiking, food prep

Let me start by saying I continue to be amazed at the level of quality and performance found in Moras. I fell in love with the Robust after getting one for Christmas as part if a bundle. I used it to process over a dozen hardwood walking sticks (de-limbing, shaping, minor carving) and could not believe how comfortable the handle was. The edge was incredibly resilient. A few quick passes on a strop and it's back to shaving sharp! Then I reached for the Basic (carbon). At first I thought it looked cheap. Hard plastic handle, thin blade, etc. I won't mention the unfinished spine as I consider it an acceptable compromise for the level of quality in the blade's performance. Not only was the Basic razor sharp, but I was shocked at how nimble it was. It handled the finer tasks on those sticks effortlessly and maintained it's edge with a tenacity that seemed impossible for an $8-9 knife. It would go through hard and soft wood as easily as it went through an apple. The apple was what clued me in to why most kitchen knives are stainless. Suddebly I found myself with a knife that could handle just about any light duty except for food prep. The only gripe I had was the grip. Enter: the Craftline Pro S. This is an incredible knife. The handle and blade shape of a Robust, but with the thinner spine of a Basic. I couldn't be happier with this knife. The thinner blade makes it a much more effective slicer than the Robust. Stainless steel means it won't leave a funny taste on your food. Light enough to be carried on a belt or in your pack. And the price! Under $12! I'm getting my Dad a Pro S for his camp kit and a Pro C for his shop. If you're on the fence about getting the Basics or the Pros, I can't recommend the Pro series highly enough.

Sharp and strong does not rust. I'm pretty impressed.

Everyone should have several Moraknivs! Remarkable value for quality construction and very sharp blades. I have a Garberg, Companion HD, and several Companions. This Craftline Pro S is the best balance of compact size and good sized blade for general use. Very nice plastic sheath. I have XL sized hands and the grip is big enough for me. This is my new tool box and yard work knife. I plan to buy a few more Craftline knives to keep in various toolkits: camping, truck, handtools, tackle box, etc. Obviously at $14 this is not a heavy use, pry bar survival knife. But it is super handy and sharp and will do 90% of whatever you need a knife for. And at this price I can ensure I will have one wherever I might need it. Being very lightweight I think Moraknivs make good backpacking knives. The sheath is more secure than some of my older Moraknivs. Nice to see they continue to improve all aspects of their knives over the years. These are great knives for cutting rope, cardboard, plastic, carving wood, cleaning fish, preparing camp meals, making a fuzz stick or wood shavings for fire making, etc. I’ve used other stainless Moraknivs while boating and sweating heavily on hikes or working and leaving them in tool boxes unattended for many months and never had any rust (live in rainy Pacific NW). Very easy to sharpen well and easy to care for.

I really like the revamped Mora knives a lot. The sheath fits very well and is secure and thick and the belt clip is excellent. The handle is grippy and comfortable. Comes very sharp right from the box. My only complaint is that the back of the blade (opposite the edge) should be better finished. I bought 3 kinds of Moras, this one, the Companion, and the Heavy Duty MG (which is high carbon not stainless steel). The other two have a well finished back, so I don't know why it is not so on this one. It is not a big deal for any reason except cosmetic. All of the knives I got are very good quality and very good knives for the money. Don't ever expect to get a hundred dollar knife for less than twenty bucks, but you can still get a good tough knife with a very good sheath. The old leather sheaths on the lower cost Moras were pretty thin, but sewn and riveted and so workable; these are polymer state of the art in retention and protection. This knife is the shortest and lightest of the 3 I bought, would be very good for backpacker use. Never trust a folder to be as tough as a one piece knife. They aren't. The Swedes know their steel, so no worries there.

Great quality. Very sharp. Handle feels good in the hand. I like the width of blade from top to edge. This would be an awesome knife with a five inch blade.

Me gusta tener herramientas de uso diario que tengan calidad ya que facilitan las actividades y ayudan en imprevistos, compre este cuchillo ya que siempre se necesita cortar algo mientras hago labores del hogar. El filo es increíble, corta súper fácil sin necesidad de ejercer mucha presión, la he usado ya varios días y el filo se mantiene como se inicio, la hoja no es muy larga como para un uso de cocina ya que mide unos 5 dedos pero es suficientemente larga para ayudar en otras labores, el mango es muy bueno ya que se siente sólido, la funda es genial, muy estética y bonita que hace que no sea vea como de “Bob el constructor”, por lo que se siente bien traerla en el cinto. Creo que es una buena compra pensando en una herramienta que me durará toda la vida, temo más a que se me pierda a que pierda su filo o se destruya por el uso. Una compra recomendada. Like !

Muy buena calidad , sólido y afilado, además viene con una funda muy ingeniosa. Calidad-precio y inmejorable.

What can I say, it's a great low cost knife in stainless steel, sharp when new and with a solid sheath with a drain hole. This one is not a full tang but it is a partial tang which I believe is 50% into the handle moulding. This knife isn't designed for beating down on such as battening wood (in order to split wood for a fire) so the partial tang is more than adequate. The blade it fairly thin so the chisel grind does not impair slicing with this knife. Overall a very good knife from a well established and respected company which won't break the bank if you happen to lose it. Thoroughly recommend. Other knives I use are Hinderer, ZT and Busse.

another great knife out of the morakniv house. the blade is made of awesome scandi stainless steel which is made for fine wood work. nothing much to say about a mora knife since it is so well reviewed. just go for it.

Perfekt
