Mora Garberg VS. Mora Kansbol: Very Interesting, Not What I Expected

The Mora Garberg got a lot of attention at Shot Show 2016 since it was their first full-tang knife. The Kansbol is a newer knife and while it's not full-tang, I think it has a lot to offer to the user. In this video we go head-to-head with these 2 knives and I was pretty surprised what I thought at the end - check it out!

The average person doesn’t need a “survival knife” but rather, a durable bushcraft/woodcraft knife. And that’s what these are. AND affordable! I thought was one of the most balanced, objective reviews of these knives!!! Excellent!!

@tor2919 Жыл бұрын

Nobody needs a thick crowbar if they know how to correctly use a knife. The Mora 2000 and now the Kansbol is the standard issue knife for the Swedish army, including elite ranger units. The mora 2000 has been the best selling and most popular outdoor knife in Sweden for a long time. If you go on an outdoor forum (not with knife nerds) the Mora 2000 or now Kansbol is always the main recommendation.

@ronniemorris9685 7 жыл бұрын

I have the Kansbol, and, I must say it is an outstanding knife used as intended. The different grinds/thicknesses on the blade actually gives each half of the blade different uses. Of course, the full blade is razor sharp. I think the handle feels really good, with excellent ergonomics to it. After hearing so much about Mora, I decided to get one about 3 months ago. My first Mora was the Robust -Companion HD Carbon combo. I must say, the Companion HD is an outstanding knife. Blade is razor sharp, and, it's handle feels like it was custom made for my large size hands. Wish I hadn't waited so long to try Mora. I have some much more expensive knives that could've been replaced by Moras, giving me 2 or 3 great knives for the price of one. Sorry for so many words. My main point; the Kansbol is a great knife.

Ronnie Morris thanks for your input. I’m actually trying to decide between the robust and the kansbol for general bushcraft/camping. What are the main differences in your opinion?

@ryanadam1153 4 жыл бұрын

Much agreed brother. If only they made a knife similar to lt wrights gen 5. I need the 5-6 inch option. Mora has the bushcraft in 6.5" but that is not full tang and is just to long for me to be useful in good quality carving abilities. Mora has def been the go to woods knife. High quality at a reasonable price. Not everyone can spend 250 on a bhk or lt wright etc. Sorry bark river im tired of just top notch steels with only convex grinds!!!!

Kansbol is an amazing knife. Actually my favourite knife of all time at any price. Cuts way better than the Garberg. A knife really shouldn’t be thicker than 2.5mm to cut well. I really hope we get away from increasingly thicker blades with thick edges. All we get is bad knives made for people that hit on their knives rather than cut with them.

One of the best Mora reviews I've seen! You put to rest once and for all that one can baton without a full tang, in really tough frozen wood. I own two Mora's...the LMF and the Companion HD. Love em both!! And I agree....I did not buy then to baton with, I have much heavier and bigger blades for that. But still....you proved that if one had to, one certainly can. Well done!

FYI you can use the Mora knife sheath to extending your leverage/reach by sliding the handle -tang end first into the sheath. Also my Garber has the plastic sheath with multi-mount. I prefer the beefy full tang garberg with multi mount. Both knives are great.

I have a kansbol, and have had the chance to use it in a variety of situations, and have a friend with a garberg, and I have had the chance to try it in a few situations. I agree with a lot of your comments and overall assessment. I found the kansbol very easy to use, and really functional in a camp situation. I really prefer my BoB for a primary field knife, and would really want to have it or one of my Beckers in a survival or long term situation. I was teaching my friend how to make figure 4 traps using the kansbol, and over the course of 3-4 hours, making numerous notches, and carving flats and points it remained very comfortable in my hands.

I have both. got both same day. They are the same exact handles...I guess?! They feel different though. I think it might be either different chems or the dye changes the garberg's to a more, plastic, hard feel. no tacky grab at all. I suppose it could be due to the full tang, but I strongly doubt it, as it doesn't make sense. The Kansbol feels rubberized and grabby. Here'e what I did to my Garberg. I hit it with 2 grits of sand paper, by hand, then Beeswax'd it to take off the fur feel. Seems to work. Doesn't melt in my hand because I didn't leave any shiny wax spots. I used a lighter and thumbed them all in well. Long story short, now it feels like a rubber mallet handle. Grits used; 200 and I think 800. If I do it again, I'd finish with maybe 1500.

(Not a criticism of your video just the whole concept of bashing your way through a log with a knife in the first place). Very fair and reasonable comparison of the two options. Nice video.

My experience with knives is very limited. Just grew up with using them for backpacking and camping is all. I now intend to use the Mora Kansbool on my Continental Divide Trail hike starting this April 2023. I am confident this knife will meet all my needs. Unfortunately, in the hiking community on trails such as this someone with a knife like a Kansbool on the belt are considered strange if not pariahs. So in the that the friendships formed on the trail are important I will carry it mostly in my pack. Still use it whenever I wish and need but carry it in this way. Perhaps I may make some converts along the way to the importance of carrying a good knife on a hike. Thanks for the good reviews and video.

@tor2919 Жыл бұрын

Kansbol is the perfect big knife for long hikes. I’ve used the Kansbol and before that the 2000 on many long hikes. If you want a friendlier looking knife I would recommend the new Mora Classic no 1/0, the smallest one. Non knife people react to it similar to a Opinel

I have the Carbon Garberg, the Kansbol, and the Bushcraft Black. Out of the three, I like the Bushcraft Black best..enough that I have 2 of them. I do like the added confidence of the Garberg, and were I doing an extended trip or deep into the woods, I'd choose it for that full tang, but general bushcrafting, the Blacks handle is more comfortable. The Kansbol is best for food prep, and it's a pretty good carver, but The thinner blade isn't as good for batoning. All three have their place in my kit..just depends where I'm going and what I plan on doing as to which I strap onto my belt.

You got the steel wrong on the Kansbol 14C, its the normal 12C, the Garberg is 14C. I just ordered the Garberg the other day for $56 shipped, can't wait to try it out. I believe that handle was made to be thumped on for batoning and hitting the pummel, It is weird but does make sense. Just like Becker does with their handles using the grivory scales, at least that's my best guess. Thanks for sharing these blades Tim, try checking out "Dutch Bushcraft Knives" DBK channel. They also did a review and that Garberg 14c Sandvic really holds a good edge compared to the 12C I was shocked and pulled the lever on buying mine after watching it.

Nice review. I dont get why people want a bigger blade for bushcraft? If you really are in to bushcraft and know your stuff, you always have a axe and saw with you. So No need for bigger blade, a 4 inch Mora will do anything, you will need it to do, in combo with a axe and saw

@TheKimjoh560 7 жыл бұрын

Why? Dont you think people that want a bigger knife do so because they find it better suited for what they intend to use it for? To some of us the concept of a "bushcraft knife" or even a "survival knife" is strange thing. To us its a knife and beyond that its a good knife or a bad knife depending how well suited it is for the task you intend to use it for. The activity defines the knife not the other way around and "bushcraft" is to vague to be concidered an activity since it basically just means you are "doing stuff outdoors" These type of consumerism orient channels has people believing bushcraft is all about batoning wood, making feathersticks, putting points on a few sticks and striking a fire steel before you go home. Some us actually do other things. For example today 11" knife and a folding chisel was part of my kit because I knew they were good tools for what I had in mind.

@axlandgamer3332 7 жыл бұрын

Without a saw or an axe you have few choices to survive in the forest, no matter how big or thick is your knife. A knife is intended for cutting and the Kansbol is better at this task, despite the lesser steel used. Basically your needs are to process food and wood, I don't see the point using a knife that make harder this tasks.

@danhold1 7 жыл бұрын

Mr450pro i agree

@dgd947a15fl 6 жыл бұрын

Because axes and folding saws take up space and, most importantly, weight. If you can remove that weight from your pack by using a knife that can handle those tasks, then why not? Small weight savings become even more valuable when you're hiking long distances. Ounces are pounds and pounds are pain.

@stevanoutdoor 6 жыл бұрын

+Mr450pro. I think if you really know your stuff about bushcraft you don't need a saw or an axe. Just the opposite of what you are telling. Or maybe you think that bushcraft is just about woodlands and even more the boreal forest you are used to? For that there is another term invented called woodcraft. Bush means wilderness and not just woodland. So maybe get your facts straight?

That is crazy when the Companion HD can be had for a great price of $26. I chose the Terrava puukko with a leather sheath for $80...$35 cheaper than the Bushcraft Black and it has a full tang with a great sheath. Too bad, I kinda liked that stubby one, would make a great carver but for that much forget it.

I bought a Garberg to replace my Cold Steel SRK because it is lighter and more versatile. It will not baton as well with the shorter blade but is tough enough. I will just baton smaller branches or off-center. I also have a Shrade Frontier 52 for serious batonning but it weighs a ton (I backpack). The Garberg is a compromise.

Hi, I wanted to know from your experience whether this 14C28N steel is really great as it is said for knives to use in nature? Is better than 440C or VG10? Let me know what you think, a greetings Michele

Very interesting! But I think the Kansbol does not feature the 14C28N steel (like the Garberg) but the 12C27; Do you have any long-term experience if the 14C28N is noticeable better than the usual Mora steel 12C27? I myself like the latter a lot, never had any problems with it.

@johncampbell335 7 жыл бұрын

The 14C28N steel is far superior to the 12C. It's derived from razor blade steel, and takes a wicked edge. It also has superior corrosion-resistance. Comparing the Garberg to lower-grade stainless [and carbon steels] is like comparing Corvettes to Chevettes. Both Chevrolets with four wheels, but the comparison ends there.

Thanks for the reply! Do you know if there is any other knife out there featuring the 14c steel? Or is this steel a relatively new one in knifemaking?

@johncampbell335 7 жыл бұрын

It's a relatively new formula [coming from an old guy], and I believe it was Kershaw who developed it originally, and can be found on some of their older folders. Maybe they still use it, not sure.

Thanks! Did not know that. Now I am quite curious how the 14C performs.. As I said, already the 12C is quite ok imho, though of course there are quite a few way better steels.

Dont listen to this guy. He basically pulled all this info out of his ass. Its called "Sandvik 14c28N" because its made by Sandvik, as in sandvik Sweden who makes both steels. Its almost the same thing as 12c27 but with the added kick of nitrogen added. Low levels of N increases the steels potential for hardness. Much like carbon but wihout the negative effect of decreased rust resistance. So its basically 12c27 with a slightly higher potential for hardness. It does not have "superior corrosion" resistance (he made that up aswell). In fact 14c28 has a slightly higher carbon content and a slightly lower chromium content over 12c27 which would indicate the opposite. It is not a "far superior steel" thats just more bs lies. Its a similiar steel with slightly higher potential for hardness, which, as usual, comes at a cost. The fact they are using this steel doesnt have anything to do with the pricing of the knives. Its a pretty cheap steel used in many very affordable knives by Kershaw among others.. Who again did not invent this steel as they are a knife manufacturer . I have no idea where he got that razor blade story from. The effect of the compenents in these alloys are well documented so no one "invents" a new steel from a similiar steel. They simply balance them out to get the desired effect qualities for the application. Sandvik 13cr26 is commonly used in razor blades .

If you don't need a fulltang and want to save money, you don't need Kansbol. :) Mora 2000 works EXACTLY the same for a half of the price, and you can even take Mora Companion or something from the Pro-series for quarter (or even less) the price of the Kansbol. And I've found that Companion even has the better made blade and the cutting edge. Even 511/546 works similar and have the same steel/sharpness, with the price almost ten times less than the Kansbol. Kansbol (and most of the new models like Eldris and others) is just a Mora's marketologists job, to sell new models and earn money.

I kind of think that the most important thing about a 'survival' tool, is that you have it with you, *when you need it* ! A knife that is light enough to carry at all times is a knife that you *will* have with you...'survival' is most often an issue when you don't expect to be marooned /airplane crashed / caught in extreme weather ;-)

Shouldn't the kansbol be compared to the bushcraft forest or the 2000 due to these three have a comparable blade shape/design with different handles? With that said, how would the difference between the handles change the way the tool feels, functions or maneuvers, is there a real difference...or not?

@tor2919 Жыл бұрын

I’ve used all three because I absolutely love that blade. The Mora 2000 might be my favourite with Kansbol an extremely close second. The rounded spine on the 2000 is better for whittling but the Kansbol sharp spine is good for scraping and firesteels. The Mora 2000 has a more hygienic blade that’s easier to clean because it’s high polish rather than satin like on the Kansbol. I find the Kansbol butt can dig into my hand a little in reverse grip. The Mora 2000 is slightly better with wet hands because it’s more rubbery. But the Kansbol has better sheath options, looks better and has the survival kit as an option. Stay away from the Bushcraft. That handle sucks for many grips

A fine video. However, given the hype about full tang knives being required for reliable battoning and the apparent lengths to which the Mora folks went to create a line of full tang knives, I'm sure they would pull their hair out over your doubts about the Mora Garberg being a good survival knife. Outside of a survival situation, I can't imagine many folks batoning their knives. Consequently,I believe the company intends for it to qualify, not only for camp chores and handcrafting, but also as a survival knife.

you dont have to be nervous batonning smaller wood with the kansbol. Sandvik 12c27 it's heat treated to be tough, not brittle. ..the steel rolls/flexes, not chips.

Do you really split wood a lot with your knife? I never do. I always suspect that it is a gimmic that video makers thought up to make their knife videos more action packed. Knives are for cutting, or you could just sharpen up your axe to a knife edge and use that. It doesn't work very well, though. You need a thinner knife to maybe clean some fish or game and cut some shavings for tinder, and a hatchet or axe to split the big stuff. I just use a folder myself. I don't do much hand-to-hand combat or jump on the backs of grizzlies and slit their necks. A big thick knife is kind of clumsy, although it may seem more manly, or however it is you want to imagine yourself. The right tool for the right job.

I am no outdoorsman, but I imagine for long hikes with camping then there will be people who want a lighter load. Then carrying knives, an axe and a saw might be too heavy for some people.

People often use it for agressieve woodworking. For example cutting branches or smaller trees down bij hitting the knife with a wood to cut into the tree. I recently splitted a piece of wood to carve a spoon out of. Often when you only have big logs you can split the wood to start the fire. A sturdy knife is better for this, especially long term and for reliability.

I feel it is a bit of a weird one. Overall it feels more like a sturdier bushcraft knife, which is fine I guess but I don't really see why I should get this one over, lets say, the Bushcraft Black instead which costs less than half of the Garberg and also from what I can tell comes with a better handle. For the Garberg maybe another cm in length, maybe another mm in thickness and a better handle and it would become much more interesting and could maybe battle something like the Tops BOB. As it is it will compete with all their other knifes and eventually lose because of the high price and that a full tang isn't going to really benefit you in that category.
