A Go To Knife for Me

I use this knife in the woods, wilderness camping and often as an EDC. The Swedush Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel is excellent; holds an edge well and easy to resharpen. Sweden has some of the purest iron ore in the world, resulting in steel with a fine grain. This grain leads to a knife that takes a great edge. The plastic on this handle is polypropylene. It is same material the cases of our automobile batteries are made of. It is chemical and impact resistant. This knife slices well, batons well and takes a beating. Regardless of price, it will outperform most other knives. As far as the sheath, to reinforce the loop rivets, I wrapped it in Gorilla Tape then dipped it in Plasti-Dip, covering tape and all. The loop ain't coming off.

SHARP!

At this price point, this is the best (by far) general purpose knife that you can buy. It comes sharp, and stays sharp thru normal use. It weighs almost nothing, in fact I find myself checking to see if it's still on. The sheath, while nothing to write home about, does protect the blade (and your fingers), as it was designed to do, so no major complaints.

What a great knife!

For 29 bucks, you get so much value. The blade is almost mirror polished and bright. It's a cool looking knife. I can see this being useful for all kinds of endeavors (bait knife, bushcraft, butchering, skinning, picnic food prep, camping chores, wood carving, etc.). There is only one minor flaw I can see: the belt loop is suede leather held on by two small rivets and I'm worried about it getting ripped off my belt during hiking or climbing. But for the price point I still rate it as excellent (I'm going to modify the sheath with my own belt loop similar to a belt frog for a bayonet sheath but with a secondary retention strap). The blade thickness is just right for slicing. The thickness is slightly reduced at the front third of the blade to make the curved tip very useful. The handle is molded right on to the partial tang with a hard plastic which is exposed at the front and pommel. There is another plastic molded on the middle of the handle that is softer and gives good grip even when wet or slimy. I would say this handle shape will satisfy most users - I have regular size hands (size L glove) and I'm not getting any hot spots. The blade is sharp! I did not have to touch up the edge on this. When you put the knife into the sheath (left or right hand oriented, it does not matter) there are rounded ridges running inside the wall of the sheath and the finger guard pops past those to create a primary retention with almost no rattle. I would not trust it as the only retention if one was wearing it as a neck knife or inverted carry, but it definetly snaps into the sheath and stays there. There are two drain holes in the bottom of the sheath that could be used to thread some cord through.

Pros: Sheath/Scabbard

Cons: None

Sheath works well

I am guilty of unfairly giving this knife a low rating previously. I said the knife fell out of the sheath. I found the blade on the floor of my truck along side the driver seat. Actually it does snap into the sheath and won't fall out. I didn't have it snapped in when I claimed I lost it. Moraknives are well built, but are not heavy duty monster knives for batoning. I have more expensive knives that I take excellent care of, but I reach for this one for every day woods chores. The sheath looks flimsy, but it hasn't worn out with over 100 outings. I like the flexible hanging sheath that doesn't pinch when I sit in the Gator or in the truck. (I have worn out other knife sheaths and had to repair/replace them.) I have several convex blades (Bark River, Fallkniven) but the scandi edge of Moraknives is quicker to sharpen.

Honest Rating upon Heavy use

Fantastic overall performance from this blade, simple design from tip to toe, yet rugged enough to baton up to 4" oak logs. Stayed sharp for the duration of my 8 day trip and I used it several times per day from cleaning fish, chopping kindling, splitting fire wood, cutting rope, even dug a couple holes, chopped through roots...no problems at all. Sheath scores average, a sheath is a sheath - it does its job just fine. I dropped it in the fire while removing a pot, i quickly grabbed a stick and dug it out, the handle maintained, it was a bit soft, but did not melt and no obvious damage or dis figuration occurred. For the price, I doubt a person could find a better knife than this Mora.

More a Mora

A step up in Moras. Beefier for sure but still the same quality moras are known for.Haven/t use it a lot but the thicker, wider, shinier blade came shaving sharp and cut everything tested so far. No reason to expect anything less than excellence. Even the sheath is better.

Superb knife

It was my fishing companion for this season and I am absolutely happy with the knife. I found the steel to be very good quality - completely stainless and easy to sharpen to the hair-cutting state. Yes, the knife was sharp out of the box, though I do not understand people who cares about the out-of-the-box sharpness. Of course, just like any knife around 4", it is not good for any kind of batoning, but the tang is wide and deep (almost full-tang), so it should manage the abuse. Personal experience showed what the cutting edge will not chip after meeting hard material, it makes possible to fix the edge quite easily. Sheath are also ok, holds knife securely, light, easy and fast to use.

The pinnacle of the Mora line

I've had the Mora 2000 for roughly six years. I've bought other brands of knife (and other Moras) since then, but when I pack to go in the woods I always seem to go back to the 2000. The rubber grip is excellent, especially when its wet or your hands are cold. The stainless steel hasn't really been an issue for me, since the knife retains its edge throughout my trips. I initially kept the sheathed knife in a pocket on my ruck, since the sheath isn't conducive for heavy woods use; though in time I ended up purchasing a kydex sheath from one of the many available kydex artisans. About the 'weird' Mora sheath: I spoke with a Swedish student in one of my grad school classes who was an outdoor enthusiast. He mentioned that in Sweden, work trousers traditionally had a pocket on the side for holding the knife sheath (like the tool pocket on carpenters jeans). The leather tab attaches to a button sewn above the pocket, so that the knife can be drawn / replaced while the sheath stays put.

Best. Knife. Ever.

I'm an outdoor educator, which basically means that I put my knives through hell on a regular basis. This knife has been one of the best purchases I've ever made, and it's withstood everything from bushcraft to vehicle maintenance without a hitch. Blade is nice and sharp out of the box, it has fantastic cutting dynamics and the handle is a really nice fit if your hands are on the larger side like mine.

Mora Performance, Enough Said!

I own 13 Moras and this one is my favorite! Mora performance and I don't have to worry about rusting or staining. Sheath is excellent protection and knife snaps securely into place. Really enjoy this knife and highly recommend it!

Most Underrated fixed blade

Comes razor sharp out the box new. Lightweight and super grippy handle. To me This handle is more grippy and comfortable than the other Mora handles. Perfect camp bushcraft knife, the spine being smooth doesn’t bother me I sheaths carry a lighter in pocket haha. The thinner blade shaves wood and feather sticks like butter. Will definitely buy again I think 1 in my glovebox for an emergency car knife. Very very underrated knife you will not be disappointed

Great basic knife

This is a great knife for the price. I really like the feel of it in the hand; it seems very sturdy yet still lightweight, and the blade geometry is useful for a wide range of chores. I have used it on everything from opening boxes and cutting cardboard, to cutting and carving saplings and sticks. The handle is very comfortable, though I have smaller hands so if yours are large it may be different, and the balance feels good. The sheath is very basic, but the all plastic at least won't corrode, so I am using it as my basic utility knife in my truck to replace the Cold Steel Finn Bear, also a great basic knife but the rivets on the sheath corroded out in a few months for no good reason..

It's a Mora

What can you say, it's a Mora. Still one of the best values in Knifedom. Quality is still there after all these years. Everyone needs to get over the plastic sheath and rubber handles. That's how they come and we don't use those to cut things. The blade we do use to cut things is great.

excellent for the price

This knife is a very excellent knife for a cheaper price. Super sharp, cuts very well, not made in china, and also stands up to daily tasks. The sheath is marginal in quality but yet, is functional. No complaints on the sheath other than plastic with a piece of leather for a belt loop. No big deal since the knife performance makes up for the sheath quality. All in all, this is not a china made wannabe knife but a swedish made utility knife made for the outdoors.

I prefer the Mora Companion

I dropped my on a tile floor and put a nasty dent in the edge. I don't think that would happen with the Companion. The Companion's sheath is also much nicer making it easier to draw the knife. The Outdoor 2000 is still a good knife though.

Fell out

I live on 120 acres and do lots of woods work, field work, etc. I've used this as one of the EDCs for outdoor farm chores and it works very well. Thin blade that sharpens easily, but not heavy and expensive, so I actually use it. The belt loop is floppy so the sheath doesn't push into the seat of the gator or the seat of my truck. Yesterday was a 20K+ day. We did driveway cracks, chicken chores... At the end of the day the knife was missing. I assume it fell out. If I don't find it within a week I will get another.
