Nice handling Morakniv

The Companion is one of the most versatile and easiest knife to utilize out in the woods. Especially when its a Heavy Duty for tougher tasks...providing that its used properly. I'm totally pleased with this knife.

Great Knife at a Great Price

I've had mine for a few years. Purchased the HD on the recommendation of a former USAF SERE instructor, as he said it was the only fixed blade he carried in the field anymore. So far I've created friction fire sets, harvested natural materials (from cordage to tinder), preped food, carved notches for traps to try sticks, prepared fire materials, carved spoons, and done a myriad of camp related tasks over the years. Feels ALOT more robust than the regular Companion, with no worries about toughness or strength in the blade. Would be a solid choice for taking into the back country.

Great camping knife

This knife goes camping with me on the motorcycle or back backing (light weight) and does everything I desire it to do. Cuts wood, cordage, meat and vegetables just fine. A pretty indestructible sheath that clamps the knife very well. It won't come out accidentally. The blade is quite sharp, though, I do have a couple of small rust spots, my fault, I'm sure. The grip is sure and comfortable—quite nice. A very capable knife for whatever your purposes and it costs less, far, far less—than anything in its class. The best knife for value that I've ever come across, or frankly, that I'm ever likely going to come across.

A simple beautiful knife.

Probably the best 20 dollar knife around. The fit and finish are perfect. The carbon blade is razor sharp our of the box. Very sturdy sheath. Just an excellent blade.

THE BEST...OUT OF THE BOX

WOW....this HD Companion right out of the box is SHARP. I unfortunately purchased other Morakniv Knives of smaller size from a competitor of yours and wasn't as sharp as this. I think that's sad...which is why you receive 5 stars. We can't always get it all the time as sharp as this, but I'm wanting Morakniv to ramp up a tighter Quality Assurance on razor surgical precision sharpness. That way, I don't have to sharpen and hone up, stropping the cutting edge blade to my standards. And my standards are zero tolerance, all conformity 100%, surgical sharp like a scalpel. That way, out in the field use, I can touch it up and ready to go again. I'm a fan of Carbon Steel, especially in these because I force patina the blade (most my smaller blades[Except Garberg, Bushcraft Black, and Eldris], I sharpen the spine to strike it on a ferro rod); this one I'm leaving it alone...I got another idea on plans for this Kamrat(Companion in Swedish). Thank you for this knife model and for the free shipping. I'll be making sure for future business together with you all. This knife will be awesome.

The Morakniv, the Moralike

Today was the first time that I used this. I was just occupying space in my ever enlarging collection. I needed to removed caulking from a tub/.floor and wall junction. This did great. I haven't made fire sticks or even sharpened pencils, but I certainly was impressed with the sharpness and function. I think that these could well become presents....if I had any presence of mine. Perhaps I do. This was a gift to myself. The reason for my purchase was to see what all the nice comments in the reviews were about. I see that they were true. I'm A Fan. If you don't have one, I strongly encourage you to get one. If you really don't like it, you can give it away. (Address available upon request.)

Best Bang 4 the Buck

There is no better wood-crafting blade out there for less than 20 bucks, or for less than 100, for that matter. Quick re-sharpening, hard enough to strike a fire steel, and large enough to skin all but the largest game. The blade is carbon steel, so be prepared to wax the blade (or prep the blade with mustard) to prevent rust. These are a permanent fixture in my bug-out bags because it does exactly what it was designed for, no frills, no extras. Buy one, buy two, buy five.

You know the Mora knifes, there is nothing more I can say. It's a good partner for eating asado here in Argentina.

Best knife you can own for $20

The Mora Companion is arguably the best knife ever produced for around $20. Good blade steel with a great heat treatment. The rubber handle is not only comfortable but it’s also durable and will not become “soft/tacky” in hot climates and/ or pull loose from the tang resulting in visible gaps like some rubber handles are known for. The negative comments about the sheath have been grossly exaggerated. Yeah it’s a plastic sheath but it’s durable. The clip on the back of the sheath can be clipped to your front pocket for quick and easy access without being in the way of things. Simply pair this Mora with a machete style tool and a ferro rod and you’re all set.

Mora Heavy Duty

perfect for backpacking. Heavy duty for a 3/4 tang knife. I doubt I will ever have an issue with it. This is the 3rd Mora I have bought and they hold up great. will be buying the full tang as soon as its available.

Baton no prob

Assignment: Get the wood for the camp fire. Three inch thick logs, 14" long, 12 logs, reduced to finger width. Still able to prep tomatoes without squishing them. I found that impressive.

Good knife, very poor OOTB condition

Great knife well polished etc. What happened to the belly of my knife in transit? The belly to tip portion of the blade gad numerous deep long roles. It looked like it had been used to cut things on a curbstone! (Probably by UK HM Customs)!! the overall polish and sharpness was excellent no doubt before it was used for whatever it was used for or taken out if the sheath and damaged prior to unboxing. I don't expect it left sweeden in this condition, but this was quickly sorted out with a narural stone and a leather belt with some metal cleaner/lubricant. Bit dissapointing but otherwise sharper than sharp and exvellent weight, feel and quality etc.

Good knife....but

While reading a review of the best overall fixed blade knives to carry every day, I saw every knife priced over $100 except this one. It was under $20. Since my wife has put me on a knife buying restriction, I figured I could get away with this purchase. Upon receiving the new knife, I was impressed. The sheath is tight, usable, and likely indestructible. The handle is soft but durable rubber and very grip friendly. That brings us to the blade. It was very shiny and very, very sharp. My first use was to dissect the root ball of a century plant to remove all the baby plants from the mother plant. Cutting thru the sand, pebbles, dirt and roots, the blade took a quick beating. The glass smooth blade was now micro-serrated. I put the knife back in the sheath and began planting the baby plants. After about 30 minutes, I went inside to resharpen the blade. To my horror, the blade was blackened and etched from the root liquids. Some kind of chemical reaction had occurred that stained and etched the once shiny, mirrored surface. I tried and tried to remove the discoloration but to no avail. The blade sharpened right up and I still have a very usable knife that I intend to keep on hand but I guess it will always remind me of the first time I used it to cut the root ball. Yes, I would buy the knife again but make sure to keep it clean and clean it quickly.

excellent value

The blade and the blade steel are top quality: it's beautifully shaped, honed, and finished. Sheath is durable and works as advertised. Seems like an ideal fixed-blade knife for ultralight backpacking, and would work well for campsite food prep. The handle is nicely shaped and grippy, although it's a bit hollow-feeling and doesn't seem as "bombproof" as the blade.
