You are one of the few reviewers who has the patience to hold the knife long enough for us to get a good look at it, most reviewers wave it around and I can't see what they are talking about. Thanks for this!

You make the most informative knife videos on youtube. I've learned a lot watching your channel. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Thank you so much ! My family has been watching you for 12 months and we have learned SO MUCH ! We love watching you and learning! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Bark River's CPM-3V hasn't got my reliance completely yet. I need more experiences to rely on it more than A2. So far their CPM-3V takes me much time and effort before serving me enough. Thanks.

This was a great subject matter, everyone owns a Mora. This is the first comprehensive video I have seen with a detail description of the different types of Moras. With the vast choices of Mora knives, it is very informative, would like to see more with other Mora knife types.

Mora knives are excellent value. Good video, good knives and goodness gracious me the Doc is becoming my hero.

This is the best Mora comparison on YT ever! I enjoyed it, and liked the X-ray of the 3/4 tangs. Thanks for sharing.

I have used Bark River knives much more often than Mora knives. I have already confirmed Bark River Fox River in A2 and Gunny in A2 are very sharp and hold very long. They are dependable. Their handles are very beautiful and fit my hand very nicely. They have given me joy of using and owning. They are art things as well as nice tools. Mora knives haven't got my reliance yet. They don't please my eyes. Thanks.

Thanks! Gift for my sons stepdad. Humbleness and peace during holiday season. He loves my son and takes care of him when he's with his mother. He is an avid hiker. Goes with his dogs and my boy too. I think he will enjoy. Better to give of ones self than it is to receive.

Thank you for an excellent comparison of these knives. I am a trapper and skin a lot of animals. I have more expensive knives, but I keep coming back to my Mora's.

Juzt got a Mora Clipper and love it. That combined with a KaBar BK17 I use makes bushcraft a joy. Virtuovice thank you for you video's.

Thank you for an excellent video. This is the best comparison of Mora's I have ever seen. I cannot afford Bark River knives, so I use Mora's a lot. I do not have a Bushcraft model, but I am going to get one after watching this. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you for going into so much detail...incredible. Never seen anyone do X-rays. Your videos make me want to go and buy more knives. Haha.

Great video! I enjoyed the x-ray and microscopic edge shots - very informative. Thanks for posting this.

Great video. I think for the money, the Mora knives exceed all expectations. I think it would be interesting to see the edge retention comparison of a straight scandi blade and a scandi with micro convex from stropping. In my experience, a straight scandi grind does not hold its edge as well as a scandi edge with a stropped micro-convex bevel. Thanks again for all the great content in your videos. Happy holiday season.

I have a Mora 2000, and I really like it, not only for the excellent sharpness and the cofortable handle, but also for the sheath which covers a big part of the knife, (similar to the traditional Saami knives) thus making the knife itself less likely to accidentally fall out of the sheath.

I tested and compared it with regular Companion in field deer dressing. The handle of Heavy Duty is extremely thick and not very useful. Its carbon steel took a micro chip but the other portions kept extremely sharp. It was rusty. It is typically a carbon steel. I have a video "Deer hunting knives #126" on my channel. Thanks.

I bought the Bushcraft Force on your recommendation and Im very happy with it. Easily my favourite Mora Knife! Great informative channel, I learn many things from watching your videos Thankyou!

I love Mora. I’d love to see you with the GPS HK5 & GPS Adventurer someday. I think you’d be shocked at price and edge geometry along with the wooden scales & the leather sheathes for around the same prices. They must do great heart treatment.

I love your videos you have buy far the best knife channel on KZfaq

WOW, the X-ray is very interesting! Thank you again.

hola para el que no sepa ingles los mora son los morakniv muy buenos cuchillos suelen ser de media espiga que no llega la hoja asta el final pero algunos modelos son de espiga completa muy buenos cuchillos todos los modelos que salen muy recomendados tienen filo escandi facil de afilar un saludo

Wako, another great video! Very informative. The Mora knives are great knives and very inexpensive. I always keep two with me as backups when I'm hunting. Austen N.A.W.

Yes. I have ever used the Force in my #25 deer hunting video. As you mention it has a bit more belly, but I didn't feel it useful at all since its blade length is too long and its handle is too bulky for a hunting purpose. The companion is a better knife for field deer dressing in my opinion. Thanks.

Thank you. Interesting information about tang size of theCompanion Heavy Duty. I wonder about tang size of the new Mora BushCraft Black. Same blade thickness as Heavy Duty, but handle is smaller and listed blade weight higher. While I'm not a fan of blade coatings, the dlc one is apparently not completely useless. Might have to spend the extra money after all.

thank you for the detailed review!

Very nice. The spine for the Firestarter can be filed to a burr so it's more effective at creating fire.

Hi ! The Mora knifes is the common man knife in Sweden. Dirt cheap and sharp as h-ll. The knife I love the most is the "Fällkniven"! //Roger Sweden

New subscriber I enjoy your videos. I am also a hunter and a knife lover. Greetings from Michigan.

Excelent reviews!! saludos desde La pampa, Argentina

Mora clipper in SS for field deer dressing. Mora Bushcraft Force for hiking/fishing/camping. Thanks.

Bucklite Max is more for hunting than Mora Clipper. Buck's hollow bevel tekes a home made convex edge very easily but is not very good for wood jobs. Mora's edge is very sharp from the factory and nice for wood jobs. I love the both knives evenly. Thanks.

Great review, I have a number of Mora's but only a couple were in your review. Nice to see the xray view, they are hard to find online.

I got my one from Heinnie Hayness in the UK. Their shipping is relatively low. Thanks.

It doesn't matter how thick the tang is since the weak point is the blade and the handle material. What most people doesn't realize is that the tang is "laminated" by the handle so it's as strong as the handle itself since the handle stops it from bending and flexing. Whether you have a full tang or a stick tang the knife is much, much more likely to snap at the blade than the tang. Mora is only selling thick tangs to cater to the foreign market that thinks it makes a difference. ;)

The handle of their Bushcraft series is excellent. Take care!

I would like to see a demonstration and review on the microscope you use to look at your blades.

I really enjoy following your videos and sorry about your truck! On the sunny side, ... In the meantime, you can focus on the knives. I bought a 3V Gunny based on your recommendation of 3V vs. Fallkniven 3G and use the Fox river A2. 4 deer so far with my A2 this year in North Carolina, USA. Next one will be with the Gunny!

Thank you for the your video, nice people, i love it

I like how you say BUSH-craft. thanks for a great video.

Thanks for the review. I own the robust, I'm curious if the tang is similar to the heavy duty one. It's served it's purpose well so far. :)

I have my Gunny-A2. I love it. Wish I has the better sheath though.

I really like the Bushcraft Force, as well. I'd like to know what you think of the Mora Bushcraft Black. I trimmed the finger groove off my Bushcraft Force & prefer it much more, now. I wish they offered them with a non-rubberized handle, though.

Good video Doc, the "Heavy duty" is a real disappointment, I was going to buy one until your X-ray showed up that scrawny little tang. I think you must have every measuring and observational tool going... except a hardness tester! Your X-rays are always a revelation. Many thanks for posting.

got a mora clipper for 6euros yesterday .. my first one

@interista Full height tang does have a benefit over a stick tang when it comes to batoning to split or cut wood, but if you baton a stick tang knife properly there is no reason it will fail in the field. Baton a stick tang with the knife level, hitting only on the blade, not the handle, and don't put much downward force on the handle itself. Let the baton be the tool to push the blade into the wood; low grip force against the handle and you should be fine. Proper technique is important.

Thx for this review. Moras are great value for the money. I will try serrated SS companion as a cheap knife for a diver ;)

Any knives will make Sashimi in my freshwater fishing and camping. I would like Mora Scandi edge there maybe. Thanks.

Can you process an entire Deer with the Mora Light My Fire, rate its performance and give us your thoughts? Thank you and thank you for all of informative vids!

I put one of those lightmyfire knives on my Christmas list :] the bright green one.

Thumbs up !! Enjoyed your review. TY ;-))

good report on the mora collection

Great video. Mora knives are excellent. Even at 5 times the price they would be great value. The scratches are obviously from grinding at the factory. If you sharpen it on a flat stone, you will also realize that the bevel is slightly concave. Anyway, not a problem. It doesn't affect usage. What do you think of the new Companion Heavy Duty with the thicker blade?

Great review, Wako.

Have you checked out the Mora Kansbol? Let's see a video on that blade! Seems like a great hunting blade :)

I checked it out. I am curious too.

X ray was great and review superb Thankyou

Great vid, would be interesting to hear your opinion on the Mora laminated steel as well. I think I have an unused one lying around(Classic No. 2 maybe?), let me know if you'd like to try it and I'll ship it to you.

Do u like the Mora 2000 FOS ? i am torn between that, and the bushcraft force. thank you for your videos sir Drew

No. They have served me very well. Thanks.

Strange. Bahco 2444 looks identical to mora clipper, but the x-ray shows that mora Tang is longer. I hacksawed one bahco and the tang is much shorter. At least then it was. Could be it has been changed.

Can you please do a video on the X-Ray of the handles of the Mora collection? I remember one of the knives was in the original X-Ray video a couple of years ago and I was disappointed at the tang length, I think it was a Mora but I am not sure

For hunting, do you prefer carbon steel or stainless steel in the Mora knives?

Cant go wrong with a Mora.

I didn't feel carbon steel was better than 12C27. On Karesuando and Helle knives I felt the same too. I don't know about bushcraft cases. But always in deer dressing in Scandi knives 12C27 feels better than carbon steel to me for some reason. Thanks.

The best choice for inexpensive fixed blade knives!!! I guess you like them as well because of their all around cost effectiveness! Why would you choose a Bark River over a Mora as a daily hunting knife?

先生はどこで英語の勉強しましたか？ものすごい上手ですね！ Thank you for sharing and good luck hunting!

Most of the Mora failures with blades broken I have seen are snapped where the blade meets the handle/tang during batoning. When handles were broken it was usually from direct baton. Personally I don't baton my knife. I have done it to learn, but I've never needed it. Batoning a wooden wedge is much better than beating your knife I think. There are others out there, probably not all of them American, that want to baton their knives, and if they do it correctly even a Mora can take it.

The skimpy tangs on Mora knives are something the maker would rather the potential customer not see. It's a disposable knife. The Mora is the kind of knife to abuse. I don't use a $150 knife on a job where I think there might be a nail or something hard to ding an edge. That's a job for a Mora.

Opinel stainless steel blades are okay, but their carbon steel is quite nice. I have an Opinel No9 that I have modified for a thin pocket carry that is simple like a higonokami. (See my profile for video) I also keep an Opinel No8 on the coffee table for peeling fruit - our version of a Japanese fruit knife. It works well, is compact, and stays sharper than our old cheap fruit knife.

Merry Christmas

How would you compare mora clipper to bucklite max. Both of them seems to be good budget knives.

So would that be considered a scandi convex? Very interesting design

As a fellow leftie I second this :)

I find Mora steel to be of excellent quality, regardless of price. Have you had a bad experience?

Whats your favorite mora so far?

素晴らしいレビューでした。内部の構造も一目でわかりました。 私もHEAVY DUTYのグリーンバージョン持っていますが非常に錆びやすいです それよりモーラ2000のほうが手入れは要らず勝手に使える（笑）

Thanks for the video! I don't think tang makes a big difference. I love my mora triflex, it is excellent. I did a video on it too.

Unfortunately, you can't get a replacement ferro rod for the Fireknife. I've used mine very intensively in the past year and almost wore the firesteel out totally, and when it's gone, I'll probably won't use it again, as the companion is hands down a better knife for bushcrafting

wako-san where did you order your heavy duty companion? I want the heavy duty companion in military green but knifeworks and knifecenter both dont have such item in their inventory. if you can share where you ordered it it'd be very appreciated. I live in Canada so I have to place international order anyway

That why I'm not a fan of coatings. Forced Patina can be reapplied easily, but why bother in the first place? The cutting edge won't be coated anyway, so it's purely cosmetic for anyone not needing an anti-reflective coating.

do they sell seperate ferro rods for the fireknife? for when the firesteel is all the way gone.

Yes, I have. I still have 3 pieces. But all are made of stainless steel. I forget if it had a micro bevel from factory or not. But now they all have a zero grind convex bevel done by me. But their steel has poor quality and doesn't take the keenest edge. Anyway I think their locking mechanism is poor and dangerous. So I don't carry them any more. Thanks.

have you tried the Bushcraft Triflex

Good Vid

They can also be resharpened very quickly.

there you have it. this guy owns every knife and his most used is a mora. no need to spend the big money.

X-ray shots start at 14:42

If Mora only used leather sheaths. Plastics are for when we’re destined to space only, we’re NOT. We still live on a Earth 🌍. Yes, raise the price, but if I wanted plastic I’ll play with toys.

Have you seen the new Mora Robust?

あなたはどちらから来られたんですか？　私は、25年前に九州から移住してきました。それまではニセコに毎冬スキーに来るだけでしたが、雄大な自然に魅せられて移住を決意しました。最初はスキーと渓流釣りだけでしたが、今は鹿狩りをしています。学生時代の教科書がほとんど英語でした。あとはKZfaqを始めてから自分流に勉強して話しています。よろしく！

Knife Shop Sheffield > Other European brands, sells some Moras.

I found a Bushcraft Force retailer, in your opinion is this knife still a good bushcrafting knife? I'm planning on getting it for it's sharpness and reliability. Do you have other Mora suggestions that match the Force in performance?

have you used a opinel knife before

Great review! Thank you for the side-by-side Blade and X-ray comparisons.

I had previously sent a comment asking about carbon vs stainless morals in edge retention but found my answer in another videos. Sorry for the trouble. Take care.

Do you use side holding technique with the scalpel when you perform surgery on your patients? But seriously, what is your opinion of the new American steel CPM-3V? What is your favorite steel for an all purpose camping/outdoors knife? I value your opinion because you have extensive knowledge and experience with these types of knives. Your videos are well made and informative. I enjoy them very much.

This is a good and helpful overview of the Mora's. I am always confused by the differences in the many models that they produce.

Where can I buy the Mora knife in Japan?
