GET YOUR MORA KNIFE HERE: goo.gl/yjtz8h

Recently I've gotten tired of black and OD green, cause I learned that if you drop something that color in the woods, it suddenly isn't a very cool idea anymore

2:16 it doesn't have a breakaway lanyard, but the instructions are pretty clear on how to tie the lanyard with a slipknot so it will pull loose if it gets caught up. I know us PNW guys tend to think instructions are just for East Coast folks, but sometimes they are helpful.

That little "safety" strap can be modified into a belt clip....call me crazy.

The leather tab you cut off was for gripping the “fire Steel” ferro rod. Oops.

6:51 "It's cuter than a bug's ear", Translate that in to Swedish. Ok. "Den är sötare än ett kryps öra". There you have it. ;) Greetings from Sweden

I am from Sweden, and first I thought "that's not a Swedish product, it has no breakaway lanyard", and two seconds later you mentioned it. You are SO RIGHT about how safe we are.

I'm from Mora MN, the sister town of Mora Sweden. It's amazing how few people understand the knife culture there.

“And anyone who says they actually use a neck knife are a liar or a poser.” Cody Lundin has entered the chat.

Stick the knife back in the sheath (backwards) and you can increase the handle length.

Finally something we can afford on the wranglerstar channel

I have actually used a neck knife while wade fishing, though not one as fat as that. I do love my Mora's though, I started using them when I was working underground as a miner in the 1990s. A lot of mining equipment came from Sandvik-Tamrock and they threw in a case of knives with everything. After a while, every damned Tennessee hillbilly working in the zinc mines had a Mora tucked in his overalls.

How about a comparison test between all the budget bushcraft type knives? Mora. Hultafors, Cold Steel, etc.

please do a survival camping video with all these survival tools. much love from Portugal

Just picked up one of these not to long ago. Love this thing. I carry a mora on my boat, out back, and hunting. A great brand all around

“Did you know that left handed people don’t live as long as right handed people?” *Me as a left handed person* 👀 “what did he just say?!”

next series- best budget power tools on Amazon.

"It just makes me happy. And if I can buy happiness for $22...." I gotta get one of them knives.

Most dont know: If you plug the sheath on the handle you get a longer grip (or a sheath holder lol)

I agree regarding the usefulness of this little guy. I own 4 of these, because I have Grandchildren coming up & they will each own their individual color. The other feature that you didn't highlight is that, for larger hands, the knife handle reinserts into the sheath to afford a longer handle grip.

The Eldris is a great little knife. I've got a red one that I made a custom kydex neck sheath for. I've mostly used it around camp when I'm backpacking. It's the first knife I reach for. I need to buy a second one!

I wouldn't call this a survival knife, its more of a utility/whittling knife

I've loved my Mora Eldris so much that I bought a second one as well. I remember when at one point I stopped and realized I had been using my little Eldris 90% of the time and I hadn't even taken my main Mora Bushcraft out of its sheath during my last 2 outings! With the exception of splitting wood, this little knife does everything I could ever ask for. I rarely find myself needing to use my actual knife to split wood, so I could probably leave my main (or should I just say larger) knife at home and be just fine... I won't do that, but I probably could.

That's what I love about my tools and tool boxes. Being a mechanic is dull sometimes. Looking at bright colors really does make me happy sometimes.

"Cuter than a bug's ear." Direct Translation into Swedish: "Sötare än ett kryps öra."

I held my Mora the whole time I watched this

The traditional Sami knife has a handle generally made from birch. Traditional material for the sheath is reindeer leather/ bone. Different style is available. The Sami people typically use two knives; the smaller called a buiku, puukko or unna niibaš ( "small knife" ); while the larger "Sami knife" is called stuorra niibi ( "big knife" ). An even larger version known as a Väkipuukko is similar to a seax. The sami belt is where the knife is attached. Mora knives is a swedish brand. They do not make Sami knives.I use this Mora knife to easy jobs like carving meat. My knife is green, for hunting stealth. (Mustard is good for desert camo.) Thing is it is light weight and small. If I need a bigger knife I use a bigger knife. Thing is taking a good hike with a big bowie knife for instance ads a lot of weight. In Sweden we are not allowed to wear either knives ore guns at city streets. Yes it is a strange country. .

The older patterns of moraknivs, I cant remember the model name, but its meant more for carving, has a wood handle, that sheath is so bad, almost impossible to keep the thing in it.

LOL I use a neck knife most days in summer. I live in Australia and can often be found standing waist deep in water at the beach with a fishing rod in hand. I use the cold steel roach belly to handle any tackle repairs or gut hook incidents. I however use a plastic toggle as a break away on the paracord.

I own one, and let me tell you, if you’re into high carbon steel, you’ll love em.

They are awesome, I had a hard time deciding between that one and a larger mora stainless model. I settled on the stainless companion. My grandfather would have loved this little knife for field dressing and skinning game.

Another old video I'm responding to. Guess that's what happens when I just find this channel. As someone who _loves_ skeleton knives, I'm pretty sure that any good one will have a way to wrap a nice length of paracord around the handle. It's why a lot of them have notches, tabs, or holes as attachment points along the handle. Build up the layers of cord to a size that comfortable to you, and you can fit a lot more cord on it than on a traditional handle. It also means that in a situation where you absolutely _need_ cordage, you're almost guaranteed to have enough while retaining a usable knife that can quickly and securely be tied to a stick and used as a spear. Well, at least that's how they were made going back about 10 years or so. Some of the newer ones seem to favor design over function.

Wranglerstar's the kind of guy who knocks his IKEA couch against a log before buying it

I love Mora knives. My first one was a Mora Light My Fire 1211 and I'm really happy with it. Also comes with a firesteel that you can store in the handle. Has been my trusty companion for three years now and never let me down.

FYI you use a special knot that slips open if there is too much pull. It even reads in the manual, which you neglected to read. :)

me:enjoing great video wrangler star:do you know left handed people have a shorter life span me: :L WELP

I wear a neck knife every day. I work in the medical field and I’ve lost many pocket knives from my scrubs. I’ve begun wearing a neck knife for the last two years. Very handy.

Put the handle into the sheath and it makes it longer that's usually how I use it and it's very comfortable

Have a few old Mora knives - one of them, Mora tells me, is from the 1800s. Still takes a hell of an edge with their high-carbon centre.

I have had a CRKT minimalist around my neck for 5 years, people really do use neck knives and some of us every single day.

"did you know right handed people live longer than left handed poeple"...oh I'm going do die younger than my brother 😭

Haha...that is the AMC Gremlin of knives. " Hey Toot's...where's the rest of you knife? "

Yeah that's absolutely one of my all time favorite knifes and I use the heck out of it. And the cord could have a barrel pop snap so It could break away. Also exactly like you said as a camp/backpacking knife/pocket knife it feels amazing to use.

The morakniv companion is still my favorite knife I think I've ever known, it might be light but they are just so we'll crafted

Thanks for busting my bubble! I'm not going to live as long!?!? The struggle is real for us lefty's.

Will it work for me if i use the metric system??

I love my Morakniv. It took some time to get used to the size of it but now it has become my go-to knife whenever I'm whittling something.

Love mora knifes. I have several basic Mora's stashed around. It's my favorite do all cheap bush knife

"I hate everything about this knife. I love this knife so much."

Don't no if you know that if you get caught up with the string round your neck there is a knife to cut it free

I use a neck knife when camping and working (home improvement). pretty handy. my mom uses a stealth neck knife when she walks to work. It connects by a quick release buckle. it's meant for self defense lol.

The leather thing is probably for carying the knife on your belt instead of just additional safety feature to prevent the knife from falling out.

you called out cutlerylover Jeff in the beginning

I love my Mora Eldris! And as we say in Sweden: En liten gren kittlar mer än en stor stock ;)

If you tie the knot per the instructions in the box iT shows you how to tie a knot that will release under pressure so that you can't be hung by the lanyard.

I have one of these knives and I use it for skinning squirrels it works great and for the neck lanyard if you would read the instructions it tells you how to tie a break away knot so you don’t strangle yourself

If the lanyard gets hung up on something, use the sharp thing on the other end and cut tge cord

"is a liar or a poser" 😂😂😂

My family is from Mora, MN. My great grandfather (from Mora, Sweden) helped to homestead the area.

I keep one in my new Silverfire scout bag. It is ideal for creating shavings to prime the stove and goes hand in hand with the fork and spoon you get with the deluxe stove kit.

great #cbysparacord

I wear a neck knife every time I leave my house.

You can also cut the neck cord and then push the (burnt) ends through a cord lock (grab one out of a jacket you do not wear that much anymore) and the cord will pull through under pressure rather than choke you. Also great for quick height adjustments depending on the task at hand. Good video as always.

The break away feature of the lanyard is the knife that hangs off of it. So if you find yourself hanging by your knife noose, simply overcome any overwhelming sense of panic from inadvertently strangling yourself and calmly pull the knife from its sheath and cut that 550 cord off.

Belt loop sheath.

Please review an Opinel knife !! PS. The also have stainless steel models.

talking about the knife : "isn't it cute??" lmao here's a like for you, my dude, you made me laugh, very interesting review, too

Beautiful, I would love to have one on a boat. Small thick blade with full handle gives more utility than maybe anything else you can have on you. Would be great for on a boat, perhaps a little longer serrated blunt blade.

I'm from Sweden and I have 3 Mora knives. But we pronounce it different obviously. Anyways Mora is really good quality! Though I've never heard of a Mora neckknife lol. Looks cool.

"WHAT IF IT SNAPS LIKE THIS??" what if Jesus comes for 2nd time while I'm waiting for this perfect neck knife I just ordered???

I worked a summer job in a place where i had to cut open boxes every other few minutes and used this exact knife, i loved it. Gave it to my nephew to play with recently since i realy dont have a use for it.

I love having a neck knife whilst camping or bushcrafting. When bushcrafting, I do a lot of squatting and sitting, and if you're taking your knife in and out of its sheath a lot whilst in a lot of different positions, then having a neck knife is so handy. I use my Enzo Necker Flat Grind in 12C27 all the time

my great grandmother was a lefty she was 92 when she died haha

6:53 gulligare en ett småkryps öra

i made a cell phone pouch that i wear around my neck while im working to listen to my head phones and on the back of the pouch i put a really small buck heartsook knife and i use it every day

My wife complained that she couldn't keep track of her knife. She often didn't have pockets or a belt. So I got this for her to use when camping, and she has taken to using it around our homestead as well.

The thing with lefties not living as long IIRC is attributed to driving. Right-handed drivers, in the event of an incident, will naturally tend to cut the wheel right, moving with traffic. Lefties, however, would naturally cut it left, and tend to swerve into oncoming traffic in the event of an incident. This is reversed, naturally, for places such as the UK.

Does anyone know how it could possibly cost more than the Companion

the retaining strap and fire steel are now a extra charge. FYI..Just got mine this week in the plain version...love it...these are based on the traditional ...grandfathers knife...handy as a pocket on a shirt

"He has a proper farm with animals" LOL. Too funny.

its cuter than a bugs ear - (swedish) den är sötare än ett kryps öra

"Unfortunate left handed people." "Did you know that left handed people don't live as long as right handed people?" Well guess who is on average smarter than right handed people? You guessed it bud!

Apologies, but where exactly was the testing? is there another part to come for this video? was initially quite excited by the title but so far we've only seen the knife come in and out if its sheath and look at the kit that comes with it?

ive been thinking of getting one of these, I carry neckers because I wear scrubs all day and cant carry a regular folder in my pockets. but the neck knife conceals nicely under my scrub top.

Strangest knife video on KZfaq.

You're too quick in disparaging neck knives. I use a top draw to accompany a large belt knife and it's perfect. Especially being a chick with small hands, I appreciate a small blade. Never been a safety issue... ever 😊

I found this same knife used in a pawn shop I bought it....found it didn't like it around my neck so I made a leather sheath to fit the whole knife and case as a 1 piece unit it's awesome now!

You can put the knife in the sheath backwards so the sheath works as a extended handle

I'm actually REALLY glad you mentioned color differences between you and your wife, and how you're turning away from black for everything. I used to buy black or coyote tan for EVERYTHING bc black goes well with civilian clothes and coyote goes with just about every camo. But I've been finding myself buying EDC stuff in more vibrant colors. Mostly because I liked the colors. But what I noticed was that having a blue, purple, or pink knife sheath resulted in fewer people giving me a fuss when I go to more urban areas (Not full urban. But coming from the stix to the suburbs), I get more people who are like "oh, that's neat" instead of "oh, that's a knife". I'm a combat vet. I like to carry tools. But when certain tools are black or coyote, it seems like city folk are more likely to be apprehensive. I had a situation recently where I bought a purple knife sheath with a bass carved into it... and folks I KNOW say "why do you need a knife?" Were going "oh, what's that?". It allowed me to actually talk in a non defensive manner about why I carry my fishing knives. That alone made purple more useful to me than black. Both served their purpose, but one allowed me to actually educate folks about why a fisherman might carry a knife.

tl;dr: Paracord isn't unsafe. Your way of tying a knot for a kneckknife is unsafe. learn some knots, use appropriate ones. Are you really thinking that paracord is a problem? Actually the only possible safety problem is the knot that you tied on it, wranglerstar. tie a proper knot that will break up under teat on the cord, and there is no problem. The manufacturer/mora hasn't done anything wrong concerning this, as they are just sending you some lose cord to do whatever you deem appropriate and safe with it. If you do something unsafe with it, thats entirely up to you... as everthing you do with your tools is up to you... whether it is it safe or not, you are the one doing it, thus you're the one to blame if things go wrong...

I used a neck knife everyday when I worked on the farm. It was so handy opening feed bags and cutting hay bales open without getting in my pocket or having a knife to catch on the fencing on my belt

MT Knives makes a great neck knife called the "Geneisis", came recommended by a west coaster named "Wranglestar" a couple years back.

Now that's mora like it!

he complains on how he hates all this stuff about it and then he says he loves the knife

Had Mora Eldris for a couple of years and use it while out fishing and hunting in and around the camp where I don't need a Bushcraft knife , The one I got didn't have a cord and made my own with a breakaway in all a good little companion knife. Great for skinning rabbits and Squirrel, especially in the UK where we have strict knife laws.

Everyone I work with generally carries some kind of knife for utility purposes. Mine happens to be a standard 4" morakniv which I keep in good shape. Whenever someone needs to borrow a knife guess who they ask first! Excellent video for an excellent knife. Thanks!

Methinks thou dost wander too much without approaching the real subject, TESTING THE PRODUCT !

i have you know i love the neck knife it has saved me many times. please take back that statement you made at 1:16

got one of these from my sister for Christmas. one of my all-time favorites!

Cody Lundin, one of those survival guys on TV, uses a Mora Neck Knife. He does mention he only wears it when out hiking or camping.
