Morakniv Men's 840 Companion Carbon MG Bushcraft Knife, Military Green/Black, 10.5 cm

Anyone who is complaining "worst steel ever" or anything of the sort does not know what they have bought. High carbon steel corrodes very easily and must be taken care of. It does however take an excellent edge and is incredibly easy to sharpen if you know a little about sharpening knives. Mine already has a nice patina from general use and I keep the edge razor sharp by spending a minute or so a day using a spyderco sharpmaker. I have knives in S30V and S110V which are high quality stainless steel and don't need any real care. They also hold a razor sharp edge for much longer but are a different league in terms of both price and the time and effort it takes to actually get them sharp. For the price this knife is absolutely excellent. Don't expect it to stay shiny like it is when it is new, my advice is to treat each stain on the blade as a record of the history of you using the knife. It doesn't mean it is ruined, it means it is unique.

Mora are the best knives in the world in my opinion. Bar none. Not just for the money - I’ve used mine for around 7-8 years now, and take it on every camping trip I go on.I use it to chop wood and light fires, mostly (yes - you read right - chopping wood). As this is a “full tang” knife you can take a cut piece of round wood, and push the razor sharp blade in to the grain, then bash the handle with another lump of wood, and the wood splits. Once you’ve done that a few times, you can cut the now- arrow bits in to “feather sticks”, which you can light with a fling&steel a treat. If you have cotton-wool handy, it makes lighting a fire easier than using newspaper or accelerant.My dad tried to use his £150 hunting knife for the same purpose, and the tang snapped - so this second Mora is for a present for him.Another great plus is that the blad is actually quite thick, and the sharpening bevel is flat - meaning you can keep it razor-sharp all the time. To give an idea of how sharp - I did a “Movember” challenge a few years ago, and shaved my beard off with the Mora knife!! Was quite scary, because the blade is a lot bigger than a normal razor - but worked fine, (ok was a couple of cuts, but what do you expect when you shave with a rough and heavily-used (treasures), knifeBuy one of these and I hope you love it as much as I love mine!!! (And my dad now loves his!!)

Substantial all rounder of a knife with a comfortable grip. Good value for money.

Got this knife for fishing and it works a treat. It needs regular sharpening as all knives do but a couple of seconds sorts that out. A sturdy knife with a good grip and a very handy sheath that clips to your belt. The only drawback is that because it is made of carbon steel it will stain almost immediately and no amount of cleaning seems to work on it. If you can live with this you have a knife that knocks the socks off others 10 times the price!

I have to admit,very slightly disappointed with this Mora compared to my previous one,the blade was very slightly chipped (photo might show it), and due to my stupidity, didn't check the specs and ended up with the thinner bladed version of this knife, which is available elsewhere, much cheaper...But, even though I overpaid, even though the blade is flawed,this is still worth every penny,so I won't be returning it, even if the chips were not going to be stropped/ground out over the next 5-10 years of use, (which they will be), it would still be worth every penny, why?...It is a TOOL!,a good quality one for the price too, not a pretty trinket, it is made to cut stuff, be sharpened, cut stuff again, repeat!... Nothing more, nothing less.Ownership of any carbon steel bladed tool is a semi love affair between owner and tool...why?Unlike a stainless steel blade, carbon steel shows marks!, cut a lemon or lime, tomatoes,anything acidic, it leaves a stain!, forever!, you can't even polish the stains out on a buffer easily , but carbon steel IMHO is still far superior for any bladed tool that is going to be used, and serviced, on a daily basis.At the end of the day, apart from Mora, Opinel, and Victorinox,there are not many companies making good quality usable knives at a reasonable price nowadays. I own a good few 'Rough Rider' and 'Anglo Arms' knives, which the 'bushcraft' models all cost a bit more than the Mora, but in no way come close to the sharpness (out of box), or the hand comfort of the Mora. All 4 bushcraft style blades I own of the (more expensive) chinese knives, needed extensive work to be even half usable, re grinding bevels, sanding handles, remaking sheaths, resetting pins, and even after hours of work, non of the stainless chinese blades hold up as a tool like the Mora does.(I do make my own knives, so have the equipment to make these poor quality knives semi usable).If you are after an useable everyday work blade,dont care how ugly your blade looks, are prepared to get the wire wool and mineral oil out every now and again, know, or can at least learn how to strop with a leather strop (5mm butt leather strip, green buffing compound on the rough side, costs less than £5), to get a lasting razor sharp edge, on a cheap knife... No brainer really....

Supremely sharp out of the box, great value for money, my mate uses these all the time for butchering deer and sweats by them as they are so durable and sharp, but in the event it gets lost on a stalk they're cheap enough to not worry about

You won't win any bragging rights around camp with this knife but it is very practical. It does mark/rust easily so do remember to dry it. It is easy to keep sharp and it comfortable to use. The best value for money outdoor knife I have used.

so far carved 3 spoons very comfortably without the need to sharpen the blade, grip feels firm and solid, very fine edge on blade so accuracy when carving is achieved with ease, what more could you ask for for the price and quality of the product, many thanks Mora - PS have just ordered the Mora crook knife 164, for scooping out the spoon, I'm expecting another great knife.
