I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars in knives, that includes all the moras except the Black. Of all my collection, the only one my hand keeps reaching for is my carbon steel Companion, not even the heavy duty, just the regular Companion, reason being the blade thinness. I do batoning, food prep, carving and all general cuttig with this. I had a thought in my head for a while now that knives are getting thicker and thicker, but I don't really see the point to that if it's not a fuil on survival knife. Going to antique fairs, I saw hard used agricultural tools that are thinner than some of my knives, and if those stood the test of time when people didn't have modern metallurgy and materials, maybe I didn't need a sharpened prybar to split a branch or two for feathersticks but a change in prospective in how I use the tools I find comfortable.

if you're on a budget a Kansbol will do everything you need unless you use your knives for batoning. I wouldn't baton with any scandi grind though considering how much material you have to remove to sharpen, and if you dent or chip the blade on a knot it's a nightmare to fix

The garberg was always my choice. Mostly because of the full tang design with part of it sticking out the butt, which has a lot of uses for crushing and scraping. Honestly not sure I would buy a garberg now, as there are better choices now that are more affordable and just as capable for less than ~110USD/135CAD. I think Mora has forgotten that its popularity was because they were inexpensive knives that are good quality.

I can buy a similar knife at Walmart fishing department for $3. I can buy 40 of these throw-away knives. No brainer. I bought the bushcraft black for $45. Never would buy a Garber overpriced. Bingo we agree.

@Revelation1316

The strongest and cheapest is neither of those knives. It is the Mora Robust! See Joe X for proof.

Great review. For me the Kansbol works best. I have them all but since I do have little wood work in this part of the world, and the tasks I do is mostly outdoor food prep, field dressing, and butchering sometimes, Kansbol shines over all other beautiful Moras.

@StevenSiew2

For a beginner and if your money is precious then instead of buying a garberg but a stainless steel companion together with a stainless steel companion HD. Bring two knives with you outdoors and 99.9% of the things you do will be satisfied with both knives. And they won't rust.

I couldn't agree more. I have also had all three models of Mora. I sold Garberg. Mora bushcraft black is clearly the best. I didn't care for Garberg's handle at all. It is too hard and lacks a finger guard.

I've been using a regular companion for about 5 years now. The 2mm thickness has never bothered me, the knife has batoned, carved, prepared food and a lot of other things. I also own a HD and a bushcraft black but I still prefer to regular companion

Out of the ridiculous amount of moras I own, I tend to choose the eldris and companion the most. The spark would be next and then the garberg. I don’t regret buying the garberg But I don’t think I would buy it again. I can carve wood with the companion better and clean moose and rabbits with it better also. The garberg is a great knife but don’t do all those tasks better. The companion is my favourite knife by far. It is my go to knife. I have about 8 ss and 4 carbon. Lol. Absolutely love them. Cheers from Newfoundland!

Love Mora knives. You can snag a Mora Robust for less than 20 bucks...fantastic knife!

@curtarnsdorf5809

I totally agree. I've owned a bushcraft black for some time now. And I still think mora is king in the bushcraft world. Keep on keeping on.

My first bushcraft knife, and still used in rotation, Companion HD. And like you I sharpened the spine! Cheers Mark.

I'm coming up on a year since I got my first Mora. I got the 27$ orange one. I have been so happy with it. As my first bushcraft knife it fit the bill perfectly. I carve with mine almost daily, use it in the woods for bushcraft and use it around the house. For 27$ you cannot go wrong. If they were free I would choose the Bushcraft Black but I wouldn't go buy it knowing how good the cheapest version is. Thank you for sharing Mark!

Hi! Mark: Another great video. Knives are like hiking staffs. To each his own.

Thank you for comparing the Mora knives. These types of videos are so helpful. I like the Buschcraft Black, primarily because of the pronounced guard- for beginners, this looks like a good safety feature. All the best, Mark.
