Thanks Lonnie! Good to see you

Far North Bushcraft And Survival Thank you, sir! That means a lot to me coming from someone so well respected.

Hey Lonnie how are you?!!!

@@Wildwestwrangler Doing quite well here. Hope you are as well.

The review was spot on. I agree with everything he said, except in regards to the sheath. Not a fan of leather sheaths.

Facts! I have two of these , one is still in the packaging, because the first one won't die lol. If you get a chance , check out the martinni knife as well. Same idea, made in finnland and just beautiful. It's my other go to, same price range , it's just a beautiful blade altogether and proforms just like the mora. Do you need it, nope, will you want it, yup lol.

I 'use' a stainless one, and i also have a carbon one in its box just for the apocalypse. I like to have all bases covered. Or it's just OCD. Time will tell. @beentheredonethat5908

[clap] Thank you North Korea Knife reviews, Inocrporeted lol [/clap]

compare this mora knife with victorinox swiss army knife which one is better sir?

Wasn't so good at Stamford bridge though was it. Or against Alfred the great and their merciful victory. A victory that could have beheaded the heathen army and massacred the men they had left and even after all the crimes they'd left the length of the country Alfred offered them their lives and told them who they had to thank for that. So viking steel did win either of those days and was basically only on top when it came to superior numbers usually against civilian or clerical targets..in mass battles they very often lose. In they were in any way matched in numbers. I'd put my money on 10 ,000 anglo saxons over 10,000 vikings in an open field every time. The vikings success was not due to their steel it was due to their boats that could travel across rough seas to Britain and were then able to penetrate deep into the country via their river ways. It was the vikings boats, not steel, that produced the 'early' viking hit-and-run successes. The best steel then was said to come from the middle east, like Damascus steel, which we are now almost certain was just pattern welded steel. So I wouldn't read too much into the steel/Sweden thing.

Why are you crying about stuff that happened 1000 years ago? My comment still stands.

Well for one thing, first of all im not crying. I'm a 51 year old man who has seen things that would make your eyes bleed and doesn't cry over silly comments, in fact doesn't cry period. And i did so because YOU made out vikings were some sort of master blacksmiths, despite Britain being involved in the bronze age trade (thus metallurgy), where 95% of all the tin they used in the bronze age came from, centuries before vikings was ever a word. and where they made steel as good as anywhere in europe, where drop forged hammers were invented, rolling steel, crucible steel, along with stainless steel and mass producing steel. Ever heard of Sheffield? And as you mentioned Vikings being all 'legendary' i think it was only fair to point out who put the the nail in that coffin, after they took on another army of men and not villages of civilians or priests. But hey, you don't have to cry about it 'anders'. It's not like im trying to say you have sort of bias in this. Btw one day you'll have to grow out of this 'what, someone replied, that person must be crying at my devastating comment. Just some advice Odin. @andersbacklund6224

​@@andersbacklund6224yes. My comment still stands as well

@@Darrenski dunno you seem preeetty butthurt to me. And it sounds like you might have a "bias" aswell, 'darren'. The fact is; swedish steel is good and has been for a very long time. To point out that you are "51 years old and have seen things that would make your eyes bleed" shows how little you seem to understand. You know nothing of me or what ive seen. Thanks for the history lesson but Swedish steel is known across the world for its high quality. So you havent disproven me in any way. Keep on ranting if you will. But im ending this discussion from my part.

Which model of s.r.k. did you get?

@@tkarlmann I too would like to know

How is it two years later?

@@folksurvival unfortunately I haven’t been able to give it much use because I’ve been trapped as my Mums career who has dementia with little chance of a break. When I first bought the knife it looked like a sister was going to take over and I’d be free but that didn’t happen. Anyway I have small hands and it feels great in the hand and since I bought it I also got the Mora companion HD carbon which is a lot cheaper and I reckon it’s better for fine work like making fire sticks and general wood carving. I also have the Condor bush craft machete and have formed an opinion which is that the Garberg is not a bad option and not bad value for money but it’s kind of a cross between a bush craft knife and a survival knife while the bush craft parang is a better survival option and the Mora Companion would be useful in survival also but maybe not as good as the Garberg but there’s not a lot of difference. Therefore If you want to save yourself some money you might be better off buying the Mora companion HD for a quarter of the price of the Garberg and have some money left over for the Condor bush craft parang. The only problem with this option is that there would be places where you wouldn’t want to carry the parang because it’s a bit intimidating compared to a Garberg and then there is also knife laws in some countries that would make it a bit inconvenient.

Was considering the Gerberg too, but then was thinking if something like a Companion wouldn't do the same... Probably. Even for batoning you don't need full tang. When you do your techniques right and maintain a knife like Mora Companion well, it does all you need. Especially for those 6x per year I will use it. You can buy everything top of the line but it usually isn't necessary and it's best to have a tool that works, especially for beginners. When you gain experience and know about steels and heat treatments and get experience along the way in the field you can consider different steels and design your own knifes which in my opinion has a lot more sentimental and emotional value. Just make your own knife from a file for example. You will enjoy working with it so much more than when simply get a mass production one of Amazon

the boy scouts have some great gear.. that would do any of us good. !

I have a companion HD and have no complaints.

@@Dillion203 hey Dillon, do you know if the hd is full tang?

I hope to never be a reviewer like that

Very true. I ended up making my own leather sheath for it

Love that knife had one since 2009 sadly lost it recently 😢 during a move.

@@Ben-rr1pe That particular Cold Steel knife was given to me '00-'01 plus a small box of pocket knives with maybe 10 of those. Nothing to brag about but free is free at in that case. He had also given to me a Coleman Stove that is mid to late 70's model that only needed the gas lines & burners replaced. I already had 2 of them already but I couldn't just let him trash dump it knowing it likely only needed the gas lines and burners replaced in which they did. But the Cold Steel Recon,I hadn't a clue of what I had nor did he. Lol No numbers or anything stating the type of Steel it was made from or even a name brand on it. I have other Cold Steel knives and happened to be looking through a CS catalog and seen the similarities in their most recent make. I called a CS rep,sent a pic of it via email and it was confirmed to be an older Recon Scout. Very solid and reliable knife if you spend a lot of time outdoors camping,hunting or fishing. Sorry to hear you lost yours! Have a great day and God Bless.

@@sivispacemparabellum4873 thought about getting another one, but back then Cold Steel was getting higher quality steel than what they are getting now from china. So i sont think it'd be the same

@@Ben-rr1pe you stand correct no doubt! I have a late '90's CS AK47 pocket knife and yrs later bought another one and it doesn't even come close to the same quality/toughness of my 1st.

Be honest kody, your very good friend you went to college with liked mora.( his friend liked Mora everyone) so he’s going to tell us about his usmc knife?

@@EddieErion929 it sounds like his friend liked the Mora but Cody preferred the USMC-style Kabar? 🤷‍♂️

😂 probably accurate! Enjoy it!

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Greetings from Finland (a nation known for its use of CHEAP swedish knives, namely Mora). I've been following your channel for about a year now and find your content informative and entertaining. As for knives, I couldn't propably agree with you more: everyone has their own taste and the most important thing is to know how to use your tool. That being said, have couple of OLD (read grandpa times) Moras lying around, "construction worker's" carbon steel and stainless steel versions (worth about 5 bucks) and some nicer knives collected during some decades. Moras are excellent tools for the use they're made, as are many others. Use them correctly and learnn to use them well and you're good to go with almost any blade, no matter the price point.

I put stainless garbergs in my vehicles and take a high carbon out in the field. I never want to be without access to this knife. Excellent build and performance.

I appreciate that.

Seconded.

100%

That 90-degree spine is a game changer! Can’t wait to hear about how you like it

Well it didn’t take but the first 6 day camp to see why the Garberg is a winner. The more I used it the more I wanted to use it. Didn’t miss a thumb ramp like I thought I would. As you said Josh, the spine is a game changer. Making shavings with it to save the edge resource and throwing sparks became second nature. I regretted making only two fires a day! I used it to make withies and wedges and tent stakes. I held off batoning because I like using the BK7 for that and I didn’t want to potentially spoil the sweet Garberg spine. So I have to say a big thank you GB2 for an awesome endorsement!

Nowakezone Forever glad to hear it! I wouldn’t recommend anything I don’t also use and like. I love the Garberg

Exactly right. I have all those same models and love them. You can’t go wrong with a Mora

I have a Bushcraft Orange, same thing but bright orange handle. I love it!

Rob Babcock, I actually wanna pick up an orange mora as well. I like the color. Lol. Mora knives are great knives. The classic knives is another one I’d like to pick up. Too many choices!

Greek Veteran, I also own a bk2 and a bk7. I do like the seven better than the two. Plus, I have a Ferber strongarm.

I see you are spamming my channel pushing your opinion on here so I will just copy and paste to save time: Greek Veteran, we will just have to agree to disagree, and that's okay. Goes back to what I said in the video about personal preferences being a factor. I have physically shown this knife working well in over a dozen videos, including this one. Also, without getting into another never-ending argument about semantics (which is about as useful as a caliber debate or the debate on splitting wood with a baton), regardless of how you define survival or bushcraft (which is highly subjective on these interwebs), I think we can all agree that survival skills are enhanced by bushcrafting skills, and bushcrafting skills are highly useful in a survival situation. In my opinion, they are not as different as everyone likes to make the out to be.

Glad to hear about someone else having it for a long time and having the same experience I had. Thanks, Von!

You can’t go wrong with the bushcraft mora with the ferro rod build into the handle. The spine is great and is nice and sharp and light.

I feel about knives and guns the same if the knife is sharp im good to go. If the gun has plenty of ammo anywhere between 22 to 50 BMG Im im good to go , but I'm gonna be conservative with all of it as long as my trapps are working and my system to set um out and find um are good .

From Scandinavia Finland comes Iisakki Järvenpää "Iso Uppo" puukko. Carbon Steel and made for bushcraft. Wooden Handle. Leather Sheath. Blade lenght 12,5cm. Very sharp and easy to sharpen in the field. I dont know if it is a fulltang or not. Its very sturdy.

@TheLawDemon I happen to have the 4, 3. Izula, and the had the Candaru. I gave the Candaru to the Cigar club back in country for a raffle. I do have a couple Mora blades but the are in get home bags because they were in subcription boxes. I just never played with them. Just stuck to what I am comfortable with, which is the 4.

@TheLawDemon the izula is a great support knife for fish. That is what I have in my tackle box. I use my 4 for field problems with the Army, bushcraft, and camping with the family. My 3 is my is in my get home bag. The Candaru I bought as an impulse. My wife was pissed.

ESEE4HD! My number 1 go-to blade!

They haven't been around for 10 years

Sounds like a knife I may need in my life. I think someone just showed me that knife at the Pathfinder gathering a couple weeks ago

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret You definitely need to have a look the Terävä knives from Varusteleka. I wonder what you think of the larger Skrama bush knife.

I would have to use one for a bit to know if I liked it. EDIT: I actually have seen that Skrama, a student had it at a class and I really liked it. I didn't get to test it but I held it and checked it out. Its going on my list

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret just that all know what we are talking about. www.varusteleka.com/en/group/knives/1197 I have the Skrama as well. I live in Florida here a longer knife that can be used as a machete is very helpful if you get off the trails. The Skrama has a long rubberized handle that gives you reach when you need it as a machete or close up control when you do finer work. Even so it looks heavy and cumbersome in the moment you hold it you're surprised how controllable it is. In the past I kind of dismissed the idea of a "one" tool kit/option, however the Skrama combined with a Victorinox Rangergrip 58 is something that would work very well down here. Add a Silky Saw for Winter or more northern areas and you have a fairly light kit to cover your cutting edge needs.

Just understand that the Kbar is not a real field knife; more a issue combat knife. The Garburg is designed for field applications. I have a 2 generation Marine Kbar that both my dad and I carried. I don't use it for common carry field use.

After reading my post, the Kbar is frequently used for a lot uses such as opening cans, pounding things, etc but it was designed as a general issue combat knife.

I have a couple of those, great little blades

Interesting, all of my "Black" knives have done extremely well vs. other brands carbon steel. I have 4 BC Blacks, an old Mora Pathfinder, and a Carbon Garberg that all spent two years with me on the coast of NC and none of them rusted.

Jayson Jones that’s my favorite as well as the skrama big brother

I have the 110. It's an even more affordable option. The leather sheath has a plastic retainer in it as well. From what I understand the metal is softer and will require more maintenance, but a small price to pay to pay a small price.

I have the 110 and the Skrama on the way now

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I really like the knife but wish they didn't put the micro bevel on it, that's the only thing I changed. The optional leather sheath is vary well made.

Jayson Jones I’ll give it a good run. Puukko is my personal preferred style. I prefer wood handles but not everyone does. I eventually get all my blades secondary bevels work off through use and stropping over time. I don’t like those personally either

OH SNAP what a knife .. nice.. that is a beauty

Highlander is also my number one with the Garberg as my backup. SAK Ranger Wood in the pocket. Hard to go wrong with that combo. Airborne.

What cowboy trick did you use to keep your knife secure ?

That’s awesome! Thanks to both of you. Enjoy that knife!
