Morakniv Companion Stainless Steel Fixed-Blade Knife with Sheath, 4.1 Inch

I don't know how Mora sells these things for so little. Took this camping and it performed like a champ while making feather sticks and batoning through small logs. I was rough with the knife and it still has no signs of wear, blade play, etc. Very well build. The knife came plenty sharp right out of the box. The stainless steel is great, no worries about it rusting and 12c27 is soft enough to be easily sharpened out in the field with a small stone. Given that, I can't see much of a reason to get the carbon version over this. The only downside to this knife is that the back of the blade is crowned and not at a 90 degree angle which would be great for getting sparks off of ferro rods. I'll be taking a file to a section of the back of the blade to flatten it out so it'll be able to throw sparks while still having the crowned area near the handle to keep it more comfortable while doing detail work. It should be a quick and easy mod. For this price I'm not going to take a star off for this nit pick/personal preference.

If you are unfamiliar with Mora, they are simply one of the best outdoor or utility products for the price in the entire world. They are ergonomic, sharp, durable, and inexpensive. Yes you can do light batoning with one, but get a Cold Steel Tanto or something else thick and blocky if you're trying to turn a Sequoia into kindling. No that is not a Cold Steel endorsement. The Swiss make outstanding knives, watches, Opinels (yeah, French, but they're always lumped in). My wife also mentioned their blondes and even though I like brunettes and she's a brunette I have to agree. I recently purchased a Mora for each of my brothers. They love them. Both loved the ergonomics and sharpness out of the box. My middle brother, who has enormous bear paws, said it was the most comfortable knife he'd held and compared the grip to a diving knife. I went with the Sandvik stainless because it's always nice not to have to put a patina on a knife, but also because it is regarded as a high quality steel. Yes it's stamped out, but it's still excellent. Easy to sharpen and holds the edge well. I considered other models, but the Robust was only available in carbon steel and both the carbon and stainless in the lower Allround models (5-somethings) have terrible sheaths. I believe every single person that has ever owned the #2 or Classic has cut their index finger off. Every one. Okay, I don't believe that. But those are still pretty dangerous. The Companions with stainless were pretty much the best option. I like the hole in the bottom of the sheath so water doesn't pool in the bottom while you're away from camp or home and can't clean them up. The sheath retention is also excellent. Ergonomics as mentioned are also excellent. I chose the cyan/teal-ish color because I read that's one of the most visible colors in the outdoors. A safety orange knife might be easy to find on a job site, but don't get too far away from one in Ohio in the fall. Same goes with red. In short, this is a very well made and capable knife that doesn't put the owner at a disadvantage in the outdoors and I'm glad I purchased them for my family. I will purchase more. First impression everyone has out of the box is that the blade is thin, but it is effective. Full tang would be nice, as well. But the knives do all that's asked of them and more. I honestly think a Robust with the Sandvik Stainless would be the best fixed blade knife for the money in the world. But the Companions are up there.

This knife is razer sharp right out of the box. The sheath is solid and holds the knife well. This is my knife of choice for camping and hiking as it's not expensive (if it gets lost, I can buy another) but is well constructed enough to perform almost any duty I can throw at it. From making marshmallow roasting sticks or cutting up a tomato, it's very handy! I have the stainless steel version which has kept it's edge since I purchased it.

What is the best paring knife? A quality fixed blade. I'm so glad I learned about these Moraknivs. Certainly one of the best values in cutlery. I use a paring knife for my amateur chef work, and it makes short work of butchering birds to make a Turducken, de-boning a Prime Rib and countless other needs. I do have a full size chef knife, slicer, etc but this gets a lot of use. This knife comes razor sharp. I would prefer to get the chrome vanadium version since it requires more care and has more pride of ownership - but this stainless version is extremely easy to take care of and has excellent quality. You simply can't go wrong with this. This is the ultimate EDC knife - EVERY DAY CUISINE.

Haven't used it too much yet, but it survived the "see if it can cut paper" test with flying colors. Nice and sharp. Comfortable in the hand, but don't go thinking you're going to establish a full-handed big manly grip on it. Well, unless your hand is small to medium. Mine isn't huge but it's bigger than medium. I wear large size gloves but don't have hands like a bear. Everything about this knife's dimensions is medium. The handle is well-textured but not hand-filling; the blade is ample but neither long nor truly compact. It is the kind of knife you would slice things with, cut twine, etc., but the less than hand-filling handle and the lack of a guard means you'd better not use it to puncture things without exercising due caution. The scabbard is a single piece of plastic; I wonder how durable it would be if you had this knife on your belt and took a fall against the scabbard. All in all I'd have preferred leather, but that probably would have driven the price up. One thing this knife is not is expensive, always a virtue in my book. I put it in the car and like that it is still smallish but probably more durable and able to take more pressure than the average pocket knife, and easier to clean and keep rust-free. The blue color I chose is bright and gaudy, to make it easier to find. All in all, this knife seems about as good as you could get for anywhere near this price. I was not sure whether to give it four or five stars, but my doubts about the scabbard made me a bit reluctant to go all the way and give it five. 4.5 would probably be right.

The Mora knife is a good bit of kit and is the second one ive bought. This blue colour as so the rest of bright colours wont get easily lost. A good starter knife for bushcraft,great for food prep,great in bug in or out bag and great for hiking or camping. It comes sharp but i always strop mine then it becomes really sharp,ready for cutting tasks. Not recommended for anything like batoning wood,but good for every other task. At the low price it wont break the bank and you should have one if your camping or fishing etc, as very useful. This one is stainless steel so shouldnt rust,my other is carbon steel with a little forced patina brings out the carbon in blade. Both i recommend,colours just add a new element and a varied choice. Buy one and see. Note not full tang but doesnt effect the use of this knife,mora have sold thousands,or more.

Ich benutze dieses Messer für alles, was beim Campen in der Wildnis so anfällt. Egal, ob Essen zubereitet oder Holzspäne fürs Lagerfeuer benötigt werden, das Messer ist bestens dafür geeignet. Es ist scharf und stabil und mit entsprechender Pflege (Reinigung, ab und zu nachschärfen) hält es ewig. Die Größe finde ich sehr angenehm, es ist handlich genug, um es immer dabei zu haben aber groß genug, um gut in der Hand zu liegen und bei allen Arbeiten gute Dienste zu leisten. Die mitgelieferte Scheide ist Geschmackssache. Sie ist stabil, auffällig und bietet dem Messer guten Halt, aber sie ist auch sehr starr und unförmig. Wenn man das Messer am Gürtel trägt, finde ich es etwas störend. Und für die Hosentasche ist es wegen des Designs der Scheide (großer "Haken" an der Seite)auch eher ungeeignet. Ich habe sie relativ bald durch eine Lederscheide ersetzt. Das Messer ist hervorragend und muss den Vergleich zu wesentlich teureren Outdoormessern nicht scheuen.

簡単な調理から獲物の解体までこれ1本で何でもできます. ファッションではなく完全に道具として使えます. すぐに洗浄乾燥できる使い方ではないのでステンレスを選び置き忘れを防ぐ視認のためにブルーとピンクを使っています.

Kannte die Messer bis vor kurzem nicht. Was soll man dazu sagen? Gehyped, und das zu Recht. Scharf, stabil, liegt überraschend gut in der Hand, angenehmes Gewicht. Natürlich gibt es im gehobenen Bereich auch Messer, die noch schärfer, noch robuster usw. sind, aber für den Preis gibt es nichts anderes. Vergleichbare Messer kosten ansonsten mindestens das Doppelte, eher mehr. Klare Kaufempfehlung für jeden, der noch nicht so ganz genau weiß, was er braucht und will und erstmal sehr gute Leistung haben möchte und für alle, die ein sehr zuverlässiges, günstiges Zweitmesser suchen.

薪を割る 野菜を切るどれもほどほどに使えますが、薪を割るのはエビナタでも使えるし、野菜や料理用にはぶっちゃけちょっといいペティナイフでもいいんですよね。北欧ならプーッコナイフなんかもありますし。はじめてアウトドアするはじめの1本だからこそ買う必要が有るかはよくよく考えたら良いと思います。
