Only problem I've has is actually finding a Mora 2000 in Canada. The few I do find are the same or even more expensive than the Kansbol. The Mora Bushcraft Forest (same blade) is even more expensive

I think it's the only thing at all that I own where I think that same thing

If morakniv ditched their robotic process and went with all hand made, a 511 basic will be 5x more expensive

Only think I dislike is how thick those joker knives are. I do like how they make flat grind versions though too, go Joker!

I wait until the Garbergs are on sale. Prices really fluctuate.

@thomasmaloney843 I've definitely seen that, prices seem to widely vary

For a Garberg here in NZ 240ish dollars😦 Where as the companion is just over 30 dollars 😊

Buschcraft and eldris if u don’t have any of them already..

Companion and Kansbol are my favorites, we have a couple Kansbol as camp kitchen/fire prep knives.

Those 3 knives sound like a perfect way to experience all that mora has to offer. I'm glad you included the Classic in there, it seems great to have a more traditional Puuka, while still not costing a ton to replace if they do break. Plus the smooth handles sometimes actually are much easier on the hand when doing a lot of hard work. The grippy handles can actually start to blister you when using them for a long time. Companion is just classic, comfy, really useful sheath with the clip and cheap. Kansbol is amazing for a do it all. I pretty sure it's the same size and handle as the Garberg but with added rubber grip, so I really don't see the need to ever get a Garberg.

For me my favorite is the stainless Garberg (with a custom Kydex sheath that did cost more than the knife itself) and the small Companion fishing knife. The most used one though is a Basic with the thin flex blade for easy cardboard cutting. The Spark i gave away because the hole in the handle sucked. It made it one of the worst Mora only topped by the new wooden handle cash grab knifes. Whithout the need to show the ferro rod it would have been the better Companion and one of my faovrite backup knifes. But the hole prevents any prolonged use without getting blisters on your hand.

@grayssoncarl5020, It’s funny that you mention the sheath costing more than the knife, because I have a custom Kydex sheath with ferro holder for the Companion. I don’t imagine a time where I won’t want to carry the Companion and the odds of it going out of production are slim to none. When the one I have gets worn or lost, I can cheaply replace it into my awesome Kydex sheath lol.

I also love it, was really worried about sharpening it, but it takes to a diamond stone just as easy as my full scandi grind knives! I've been wanting Mora to do a flat grind for a while, to the point where I'm very excited to see Victorinox do a "Flat Grind Garberg" the Kansbol, while only half a flat grind, is still much cheaper than the Garberg or the new Victorinox, and I'd argue just as good.

It is really expensive here and hard to get 😭

the kansbol is just a prettied up mora 2000

@@TheWibbo true, and if you can find a Mora 2000 on sale for cheaper, I'd personally just buy that. Haven't had much luck with that myself. There is also a Bushcraft version, with the Mora bushcraft handle and the Mora 2000 blade

I don't know where you are, but £33 in UK local shop & I expect they would post. I have little interest in knives, but my kansbol seems great. It is lightweight, strong & strikes a good spark.@@ulary

Nice one

Check out "Joe x" he does a mora destruction video on 13 mora knives.

@@saiga12commander I find that type of “testing” really, really stupid

@@saiga12commander Joe X has taken down all of his video's again. Second time he did this. Drama talk again. The second last video he did a rant against the knife companies. Then his last video.... Watch it. It makes no sense.

I agree, the Mora2000 is a better knife than the Kansbol. I like the rounded spine as I always have something else to scrape a ferrocerium rod, the handle is much more comfortable, and the mirrored finish adds to the slicing ability. Also, I like the riveted leather belt loop.

The Mora 2000 is a bit cheaper too. Personally I think the Kansbol has a slightly more comfortable handle, not to mention a far better looking one. I thought the tree bark texture on the 2000 looked cool compared to regular Moras when I first saw it back in the 90s, but it doesn't quite hold up today.

@@23Scadu agreed with the Kansbol looking better. Though they released a Mora anniversary 2000 in all black that looked pretty good too of you can find one

@@23Scadu I'll take/use performance over "looks better" 99% of the time. But I agree

i use the 2000 on canoe trips and it does all i ask.

I find the handle on the Mora Bushcraft creates a hot spot between my index and middle fingers. If the handle did not swell perpendicular to the blade, I think it would be more comfortable for me. Also, I don't like the handle on the Mora Companion HD -- it is just too pregnant. The Mora Companion handle is more comfortable for me. BTW: I have the Bushcraft Orange (stainless steel) because I live near salt water. Another great thing about it is I can use the sheath for emergency signalling because anyone can see it from a mile away -- it is so bright. Visually, it is the exact opposite of the Bushcraft Black.

Eh, I think it depends a bit on what you are looking for. I love my 2000, but the handle on the kansbol is more comfy for me and I like the way a kansbol strikes a firesteel. They’re both great, it really comes down to the individual about which is best while both still working well for everyone.

I agree. The 2000 is more comfortable, slightly better slicer and I prefer it as well.

For me, Mora 2000 has too soft and round a handle. I prefer Kansbol. My other favorite moras are Mora 510, Classic , and ......Bahco 2444 😁(Mora Clipper)- A thinner companion.

What knife that fits you the best, depends a lot on your hands. I prefere the 2000. But when i use my Mora knifes i always carry two of them, because there so light. One 2000 to keep sharp and one cheap basic to use more as a ”tool”. If the basic break, i buy a cheap new one.

Yep. That's what I do. Not because I need a longer handle but that way I don't loose the sheath. I carry the Eldris in my pocket or shoulderbag.

You can but you can't put much pressure or weight on it.

@@Moleskineman it’s mostly used for detail work/carving trimming the added handle length just makes it more comfortable

@@jamesevans9621yeah, for that it's great! I love the Eldris, I lost mine recently and have already ordered a new one!

I always wonder if you made your own Eldris after you beat up a normal Mora too badly.... it would probably be just as good and still cheaper with more handle.

Get 6 companions and never look back

"Mora Companion F-Orange" stainless 👈🏼 cuz f-orange will not get lost neither in the grass nor in the dark; (if you need a calm decent color: "Mora Companion MG" stainless - military green my fav)

Not a pain at all! You set your angle with the scandi part, and just keep that same angle on the flat! Hope you enjoy it when you get one. It's my favourite Mora by far

The blade is too small for me, the handle is nice and full, but you just don't have enough room for push cuts

@@MB-jg4tr I get that. It is pretty small, but it does a lot of tasks.

It's not the size of the blade, it is what you do with it.

the eldris is worthless and complete junk. A small classic mora is 10x better and even easier to wear on the neck

@@escapetherace1943 ok

Great info! Thanks for sharing.

Ha!

I only have one, but it was extremely sharp on arrival. Also, removing the secondary bevel allows for razor sharpness (and of course makes the edge a bit less durable).

I kinda disagree, in that they went from red paint to red stain and doubled the price. From 25 bucks Canadian, to over 50. I can sand off the paint and stain it myself for that price, plus have a ton of stain left over

@@J.sh_CDN Oh they are still the same price here in Norway and can be found on sales all the time.

@@J.sh_CDN Nowy model ma dłuższy i zakuty na końcu rękojeści tang(rat tail tang)

For skinning, are you using the regular or the light duty eldris?

For wood handled machetes such as Tramontinas, they leave the wood proud of the tang which I think is a better option, at least then you can put some time in yourself with a file or and make it nice and flush (and round the blocky handle while you're at it). Keeps the price down but still leaves material to shape how you want.

Been wanting to try that as a flat grind Mora... probably be a decent kitchen knife even, especially if you smoothed the front guard a bit to be able to cut on a board
