Garberg is a mountain top in Dalarna, the county in Sweden where the town Mora is located (after which the company is named obviously). Eldris is a station along a ski trail outside Mora. Kansbol is a tiny village outside of Mora, it used to be a farm where people brought their cattle in the summers, but nowadays it's just summer houses. So yeah, pretty much an elf in lord of the rings.

Just so you know, there is a purpose for the Kansbol's compound grind. The front half of the blade is supposed to be better for food prep, while the scandi portion is meant to be used for bushcraft.

Seems like a sensible compromise for a camp knife, especially in combination with a small axe or hatchet, make some feathersticks with the scandi part, then slice some food with the tip portion.

They retain perfectly..... for be about 5 minutes. LOL OK, a bit sarcastic, but essentially true. If you use the knife frequently, the sheath will stop retaining the knife. You can turn the sheath upside down, and the knife will fall out. For the price, they're about the best knives around. I don't mind the sheath, either. But, those who criticize it are not (ALL) being knife snobs. Their criticisms are valid.

Garberg One of these ‘fäbodar’ is called Garberg. It originally belonged to the village outside of Mora where our factory’s located today and all our knives are made. Garberg lies at the shore of a large lake, created by a nearby hydroelectric dam in the great river of Dalarna. Here, people have been working hard for centuries, facing the challenges of nature and the demanding self-sufficient life. To name our full tang knife Garberg after the place and the people who lived there is our way of paying tribute to our roots. Our ancestors and the surroundings of Mora are all parts of who we at Morakniv are today. The Garberg knife - the proud, strong and hard working tool that gladly faces every challenge - is our interpretation of the life once lived at the ’fäbod’ of Garberg

Think I'm with the Kansbol. Light weight yet performs way above what you would expect. It's a solid all rounder and it looks less conspicuous. It looks like what it is, a Bushcraft or camping knife. No skulls, no zombie guts, no glass breaker or bottle opener in sight. Not going to frighten the neighbours with this (unless you're doing something stupid). Plus what I love about mora is that it's not chinese mystery steel yet still at an affordable price. The edge is also wickedly sharp, I'd say easily amongst the sharpest knives I own.

Thanks for the review, Aaron. I personally preferred (and purchased) the Kansbol with the molle-compatible sheath system. I prefer the lighter weight (like you say, less than most folders) for hiking, and I love the compound grind for hunting/cooking/camp tasks. The thinner tip makes the knife superb for things like fileting fish, while still having the ability to do light batoning and carving. It didn't hurt that I caught a sale and got the whole package for $36.

Greatest feature of the Kansbol - it is ridiculously light weight! I have smaller knives that way 3 to 4 times as much! It is not small. It's extremely handy for carving and food prep, also works excellent with a ferro rod. AND - even if you have a "do it all" knife, I always have one attached to my GHB for in case you have somebody with you can use a good knife and because of the almost non-existing weight there is no excuse not to have it with you.

As a lot of you already claims the Kansbol shares the blade shape with the older model Mora 2000. From what I heard, back in the day Norway was a big export market for Mora. The Norwegians love outdoor life and wanted a blade for making sandwiches. So the odd shape of the front is made for the purpose of being a butter knife.

Here is how I view the Garberg: it's my main, multi purpose belt knife. It is rather light, even with the sheath it's very compact and both knife and sheath are pretty much impervious to to elements (water, rain, snow, heat cold,...). I put a Skandivex edge on my which is rather robust so it will handle pretty much everything I throw at it. So for me the Garberg is the one knife I will always have on me since it so light, compact, impervious and unobtrusive and it still is able to handle pretty much everything if done with thought. Of course I love my ESEE 6 but it is just too big and heavy and threatening looking to have on you all the time (JMHO, I like to be light and fast). Also I don't like the retention strap that comes with the multimount since it slides of to the side way to easily making it useless... So I added my own more traditional retention strap made with a snap, a rivet and some mil spec webbing. Great video, I very much agree on your point of the Garberg being one hell of a great deal.

The Garberg is amazing. The sheath is out of this world in terms of function. I personally love the full tang. It’ll definitely be more durable than a partial when batoning over the long term. You also get the pommel on the back and at this point, you can get one for under $80 bucks. Cannot beat it. It will be the next one I get. No doubt. I already have an Enzo trapper which I use all the time and a mora black but no stainless steel blades for wetter conditions, this is the best choice. Bar none. Love your content!

@MrAlexH1991 7 ай бұрын

The second grind about halfway up the blade on the Kansbol is called a distal taper. The edge bevel on the blade, believe it or not, is actually a true Scandi grind, from heel to tip. It just looks too shallow to be counted as a Scandi grind halfway up the blade because of the aforementioned distal taper having removed material from the flats in those areas. But it’s a Scandi grind, at the same angle, from heel to tip. The reason for the distal taper is to make the blade more slicy-dicy and better for EXTRA-fine carving work towards the tip. A lot of people say it’s great for fine wood carving, skinning, and food prepping. NOT great for batoning, though - as a lot of meat’s been removed from the tip as compared to the Garberg (which, I’ll state in respectful disagreement, you CAN baton with for days. It just won’t work for thick pieces of wood.) Some folks say the two knives pair great together because the Garberg’s tantamountly the exact same knife as the Kansbol (same blade profile and handle and everything, actually,) but it’s built for power while the Kansbol is built more for finesse.

@ketodad 6 жыл бұрын

On the molle version , if you drill an additional hole on the back of the mounting plate that the plastic sheath slips into ( carefully lay it out and drill the right size hole so it fits a tek-lok) and fasten it with small Chicago screws , it's an awesome rig on the belt. I love the Garberg a ton.

@urbanlumberjack 2 жыл бұрын

Moras sheaths are awesome and the kansbol is a fantastic design. I’m guess this guy doesn’t do much hunting because the grind at the tip is designed to make processing game easier. And then the blade transitions to a scandi grind for carving firemaking etc

I was sharpening my Garberg yesterday and I was pondering my own long-term thoughts on it. I've been using it exclusively since the launch. My overall take is the same as yours - the Garberg is a great value, if you need the 'bombproof' version. The upgraded steel and full tang are worth the extra money for a knife that will be used for decades. The retention strap on the modular sheath can be accidentally bumped to the side, as mentioned by others. That's a design flaw I'm surprised Mora made. Otherwise, the modular sheath concept is great.

While these two knives are without a doubt great quality blades, as all Mora's are, I see nothing that they will do better that the Mora Companion H.D. will do except for lightening up your wallet. I understand Mora's marketing strategy by trying to cash in on another group of outdoorsman that always has to have the "latest and greatest", but let's face it, people started buying Morakniv's for the VALUE they bring to the table. I ALWAYS have two Mora Companion H.D. knives in my pack. Not because I think one will break, but because over the years I have given so many away as gifts. I have seen that these knives stand up to every task a camper, prospector, or hunter could ask of them. I have never broken one, but then again I don't abuse ANY knife. From a VALUE standpoint, there is no better knife on the market today than the Mora Companion series. I buy knives to cut, chop, and slice, not for all the bells and whistles of a fancy sheath. With that being said, I know Mora has a LOT of great knives in their stable, I just hope they continue to produce the knives that any youngster can afford, and knives that guys like me are proud to give away to those just starting out in their outdoor journey.

@bpchristensen 6 жыл бұрын

I've been using a Companion for years as an all-around hunting and camping knife and I agree with your points about the value and versatility of the Companion. I've bought many as gifts as well, and both my kids carry them in their packs. The thing that is drawing me to the Garberg is the sheath (and better quality steel). I want something I can mount to PALS webbing on my packs/vests without fiddle-dinking around with some jerry-rigged contraption using the Companion sheath. Yes, I could buy a custom Kydex sheath for the Companion, but then I'm up into Garberg territory in terms of the total $ investment. That is my reason for considering the Garberg (still shopping).

I agree with your handle comment and for years I’ve used partial and rat tail handles on knives this size without a problem. I sold the Garberg and kept the Kansbol simply because I considered the handle to be a huge upgrade on my treasured Mora Classic 2 and the blade does what I need it to do when combined with my SAK Farmer and a Bahco folding saw. In my perfect world the knife would have the Kansbol handle and the Classic 2 blade.

@waldgeist9007 6 жыл бұрын

Actually, there is a very good reason for the Garberg's full tang contruction: Because people kept asking for a full tang Mora. Plus it competes with other similar knives (full tang, molded handle, ~4'' blade) like the Fällkniven F1, Cold Steel Master Hunter, Steel Will Druid series, Terävä Jääkäripuukko, Linder Super Edge 1&2 and many more. Having just that slightly angled part of the front grip instead of a pronounced finger guard the Garberg also brings a different flavor to those knives. It's like the bigger brother of the legendary Mora 510. After the price came down from >120 EUR to ~70 EUR there is not much to complain about the Garberg anymore. Would I chose it over a Terävä Jääkäripuukko? No, not at all. Those are my preferred choice for hard tasks. But the Garberg is a nice secondary blade or camp knife between your big main knife (BK7/9, Terävä Skrama) and the small blade for fine tasks (Mora 510/511, Companion or a folding knife). I think the 3.2mm blade thickness puts the Garberg in a nice spot between thinner Companions and those overbuilt chunks of metal like the BK2 or F1. It is a nice alternative to typical Bushcraft knife designs like the Spyderco Bushcraft, Real Steel Bushcraft or Condor Bushlore. The cool thing about knives is you don't have to pick just one. You can have as many of them as you can afford. I would not pick the Garberg as my only knife if I had to chose one. But I find myself throwing it into my pack quite often.

Kansbol The thinner front of the blade is great for vegetable prep

@shadowx8405 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with you about the Kansbol's aesthetics. It does look goofy. BUT... If the Zombie (or any other) apocalypse ever happens, there are 3 knives that I would carry, and the Kansbol is one of them. It's, basically a "Jack of all trades" knife. The Scandi portion is near the handle, because that grind is best for most of the work you'll be doing with the knife (woodwork, cutting cordage, etc.). But, making fine and accurate cuts us not something the Scandi is made for. Using it for food, especially, is like trying to slice and dice with a sharpened crow bar. But, the semi-flat grind, at the top portion of the blade, it excels at those tasks. For a back-uo knife, that you know us good at a few cutting tasks, while most knives excel at only type of task, is a good idea, especially considering the price.

Hi. What you think of the Kansbol leather loop? Doesn't the knife swing around too much when walking?

@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241 4 жыл бұрын

I just received my first Mora Garberg... This knife is EPIC !!! Build quality is superior. The one thing I really like about this knife that no other knife has is that it has a short drop at the point allowing this knife to be extra strong. Other knife makers tend to make a false blade on top in taper it an inch back. This knife does not. The taper is less than 5 mm, which gives the knife a whole lot of strength up front. For 70 bucks this is the best knife there is... Morakniv needs to make a longer knife blade with five to six millimeter thickness on the spine. Like a Morakniv Garberg Pro+ Series.

Wouldn't sell in Europe, most people here don't even need the normal garberg. A mora companion combined with a boys axe (hultafors ekelund etc) is much more common, also oversized "pocket swords" are pretty frowned upon

I have the kansbol and they told me at the store is that the blade of the kansbol is designed to filet fish and skin small animals. I have tryed it and the slimmer tip of the blade really helps with that.

I love my Terävä Jääkäripuukkos - all of them. Still, I also own a Mora Garberg and find myself quite often using it as a secondary knife for those tasks the JP 140 is a little too big and my smaller camp knife (Companion, 510/511 or folding knife) is a little too "weak" for. Just like all the other 4'' full tang Bushcraft knives (Condor Bushlore, Real Steel Bushcraft, Spyderco Bushcraft).

@andrewnash6121 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I also heard the Kansbol has a grippyer handle that is more comfortable to use. My thoughts with the Kansbol blade is that perhaps its shape is designed so that it saves on some weight? Thanks for this review. I always look forward to your content.

Just my thoughts. I have about 10 Mora's and I love them. But the scandi grind is no good for food prep. Can't slice thin meat and vegetables. I thought that is why the konsbol put the flat grind on the tip, for food. But I have not heard that from anyone.

good video but a bit of a correction / misconception, moras absolutely can be batoned and i have been batoning clippers and companions (not even the hd ones) for 20ish years with only one failure on the old clipper with a 1/3 tang. i would say i have split several hundred logs approaching 3.5" thick with moras over the years with absolutely no problems. they will take the punishment

Love your channel. I live where we don't have many knives to actually pick up and feel to compare so you are one or my go to channels for info. I like Cold Steel for their value and have both the peacekeeper II and III and use the II a lot because of the combination grind on the blade. Have you compared the morakniv kansbol to cold steel peacekeeper? Looks close to the III in dimensions. I was thinking of ordering the kansbol but may have something close enough to do the job in my possession already! A while back I was just looking around youtube for information on the peacekeeper and saw someone put it through the paces it and finally stick it in a stump and bend it side to side close to 90 deg without the blade snapping so ordered it and have really liked it. Thanx again for all the great videos you do!!
