Morakniv

The full tang phenomenon

The Morakniv Garberg is a powerful full tang knife designed to perform the toughest tasks it encounters. Manufactured at the Morakniv factory in Mora, Sweden, it's the most robust knife they've ever made. The 0.13" thick blade is made from high-grade carbon steel, treated to make it even stronger and more durable. The blade has a Scandi-grind profile that makes it easy to keep sharp and a ground spine compatible with a fire starter. Whatever adventure you're on, you won't want to be without it, making your Morakniv a part of you.

Garberg was designed to meet the long-time wishes from Morakniv's most dedicated users, as well as the desires of the knife lovers that haven't yet discovered the world of Morakniv. The knife is developed to handle the most challenging tasks it may be exposed to.

Created for you in Mora, Sweden

"We wanted to achieve our vision of the ideal full tang knife. That means we need to understand the users. What will they use it for? How will they grip it and work with it? Even store and carry it? Once we understand that we can customize the knife's characteristics accordingly", says Arvid Larsson, Design Engineer at Morakniv.

Genuine feel and hardcore materials

The full tang model is the most robust knife they've ever made and has a genuine Morakniv design. They've used the best and most rugged materials in every part of the knife, from the handle to the blade.

The names that tell their story: Garberg

Many small cottages and barns. The cattle graze on the plot outside and every morning starts before sunrise with milking the cows or goats. This was the scenery of the Swedish 'fäbod', a place where people historically spent their summers working and let their cattle run free in the surrounding nature. Every village had their own 'fäbod', many times even two or more. This way, their ancestors could walk with their cattle from one settlement to another during the summer. In the region around Mora, there have always been many 'fäbodar' and many of them still exist today.

One of these 'fäbodar' is called Garberg. It originally belonged to the village outside of Mora where their factory's located today and all their knives are made, at the shore of a large lake. Here, people have been working hard for centuries, facing the challenges of nature and the demanding self-sufficient life. To name the full tang knife Garberg, after the place and the people who lived there, is Morakniv's way of paying tribute to their roots. The Garberg knife--the proud, strong and hard working tool that gladly faces every challenge--is their interpretation of the life once lived at the 'fäbod' of Garberg.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Weight, Overall Quality, Materials, Handle Material
Cons: None
Phenomenal build quality and materials
Use it for splitting kindling, carving, batoning, and even splitting small firewood. Strikes ferro rods well. Feels great in the hand. Keep in mind it is a thick blade stock, so it doesn’t get razor sharp- but it gets sharp enough to do anything a knife would be needed for. It is kinda an axe with a knife handle lol.

A diamond in the rough...
I bought the bear bones version of this knife, because I believed that the basic sheath would hold the knife just fine. It does. No rattle, doesn't fall out. I don't jump out of airplanes or climb mountains, so I'm good. I marveled at how evenly ground it was, as well as the deep black finish. The machine marks on the edge are still visible underneath that beautiful smooth black coating. When I noticed this I said to myself, "Self when have you ever seen the machine marks on the edge of a Mora knife!?!" You guessed it. NEVER. My suspicion is that they machine the blades, coat them with the black finish and then put the handles on them. They don't get polished and honed the same way as the less expensive carbon steel models do. Sure enough, when I did an edge test with piece paper, it dragged. This is going to upset some of you. You're going to have to sharpen your own knife. Now, considering this knife is for bushcrafters, it would stand to reason that you would know how to sharpen your knife. If you don't, you might want to buy a different knife. I took fine ceramic rod from my Sharpmaker and worked on it for a few minutes, and it sharpened up quite nicely. My first impression is favorable, and I'm going to enjoy learning this well crafted tool. It may be expensive for a Mora, but the price is quite competitive with other full tang bushcraft knives.
