Sheath retention problem of this knife can be easily fixed, there are two higher points inside the sheath, into which the tear drop shaped "holes" on the both sides of the handle lock, that locking tension can be made stronger by heating that point, preferably on the back side of the sheath carefully with a lighter and pushing it just slighty in and waiting for the plastic to harden again. Retention is excellent after this.
Dude, your sheaths are beautiful. Thanks for a good review of the Mora Robust--one of my favorite knives. I think the Robust is the world's #1 value in fixed blade knives.
First video of yours I have come across and have to say your honesty and practical mind set is refreshing on youtube. Just got done watching another video where it was quite clear the person didn't understand and know what they were doing but they were going to attempt to baton,featherstick,whatever with their knife because that's what "you're supposed to do" in a knife review. I myself grow tired of people who feel the need to baton their knives every chance they get, whether it be a fixed blade, a pocket knife, or a fillet knife. That is what axes/saws are for people. Thanks for the video, and your kydex and leather sheath for this knife has perked my ears.
I too make leather sheaths but I love this new model Mora sheath. All it needs is to hit it for a few moments with a heat gun, press it tighter and cool it off. The retention becomes phenomenal.
I am a huge Mora fan and love your videos! The new Robust is amazing. I know you don't like the plastic sheaths (probably because you make such beautiful replacements!) but I've never had a problem with them, but then I'm not often hung upside down and shaken when out in the woods... ;) But I did notice that the sheath on the Robust I just got fit a little looser than I care for, you're right about that. Generally have to give them a good yank to get them out of the sheath which is also not preferable...but what a great blade! Wish more companies would take notice of what Mora does for the price and follow suite. Thanks for the great vid and turning others on to a wonderful knife! I'll be looking into your sheath shortly...need it! :)
I wear 2XL size gloves and this knife has my favorite handle of any knife I own, including 300 dollar knives. Excellent handle. Wish they had a model with a Mora Companion stainless blade in it but with the Pro S/Robust Pro handle.
Stock sheath optimized for using it as a work knife (as it's a part of the utility working knife series), so you can easily draw it out without help of another hand. And this is why it has a mount to attach another knife, to have needed set of instruments with you. So the sheath isn't bad, it's very good but for the tasks it was designed for.
Hey bro, I've made myself a couple custom leather holsters for some of my pistols and I love them to death. Those sheaths you got there are top notch quality. Very nice work.
Wow, those sheaths are a work of art man! I know the stock ones are inadequate but if you're on a budget a little remoulding with a heat gun will sort it out in no time. Still, no substitute for craftsmanship of this level. Well done!
It's very rare for a custom craftsman to promote a factory made product, and do so with the enthusiasm you have for the Mora. Great vid as always brother.
Im glad to see that Robusts handle could get some batonning. I did this to a Mora 511 that was stuck into an knotty beech and the rat tai tang broke after 1 hit in the handle. I know that was my fault, 511 isnt for handle batonning and hard knotty wood. Ill buy an Robust after what i saw here. Good job!!
Lol love the part when you skip the specs and get down to the performance of this knife. I usually just exit a video when people are just talking about the knife (from inside their house at the kitchen table) watching a good field testing video like this is what we want to see. Thanks for doing this. And btw those sheaths are amazing, definitely a lot of pride in your work. I will definitely be looking into getting a sheath from you. I currently been using the bushcraft black quite a bit and love it
I love me some mora's also... Just bought an outdoor 2000 as my secondary knife. But the Robust always felt the best in my hand. Thanks for the video man.
Great video, my friend! Just like your Mora HQ Robust convinced me to pick up one of those (and love it), this vid has convinced me that this Robust is the real deal. I've seen other reviews on this and they did nothing for me. Thank you, again, my friend! I appreciate it! BTW, beautiful sheaths you made, as always! -Dave
Hey Justin I noticed a visual flaw nothing big and I don't own one of the sheaths so maybe I'm wrong but it looks like it cuts toward the sheath as you pull it out so maybe a little bigger thumb ramp would fix that
Great Video, I just recieved the Mora Companion Heavy Duty in Military Green for 18 dollars. As for the sheath, its plastic of course and fit okay when I got it, but using a bit of heat and a spring clamp, I tightened up the sheath so the knife stays put. Leather sheaths are nice but spending 65 dollars for a 18 dollar knife, is a bit out of my price range. But your sheaths are nice.
Thanks for the review. I think I am going to pick one of them up soon. mora sheaths are not that bad for what they are. they rarely break and if you heat them up just a bit and squeeze them down a tad they fit nice and tight. The belt loops are not that great though.
***** Amen to that Justin. I feel the same way. When I'm asked about my personal opinions on knives, I can only opine on knives I've used. I just did some wicked work with an ATK today and posted it, but I never suggested it to anybody until I had one in my hands and put it through it's paces.
I agree that getting a brand new dull knife sucks and even worse on a custom knife. Mora knives are nice and sharp plus easy to sharpen though got so many not sure I could justify another. The handle does look easy to bend kydex for.
The Mora robust like many Mora knifes are made for carpenters, so they shouldn't be too hard to get out of the sheath. Thats why a lot of people complain about it, thinking it's made for bushcraft.
Didn't know James Hetfield was a bushcrafter also!!😂 gotta love the moras! I have many knives. A Jacklore. Helle. Bark river . Onterio ect. But lately I find myself going with the morakniv. Not afraid to hurt or lose them like my others
Hello Sir. Mora is made in Sweden and strangely it´s not in the shelves here in Norway. Norway and Sweeden share border but since Norway has a strict no knife law it seems rare to find many diffrerent knives here. Yes there are a few knives but not many
The knife performed exactly as I expected it to. My biggest question for this knife was how is the handle? You sure answered that! How do you think it compares to the Black as far as the handle goes? The Black and the regular Companion are my hands down favorite knives for handle comfort. The old Robust wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite.
looked fun testing that new one I've still have one from wow it's been at least 15 maybe 20 years ago and its still killer sharp I've had to sharpen up a few times but it's going I want one of the bushcraft ones I'm saving up for a habilis S.R.T mushroom and thinking of pairing it with the Mora bushcraft I think that be complete kit just about other than a hatchet hey man have you ever heard of a British cat named Robin Wood he makes axes and crook knives I'm wanting to get his axe and crook knife you know anything about him please let me know be cool
Great video🙂 I must have crap luck with Mora. I have an Eldris and a companion HD and I am constantly getting micro chips. Anyone else have this problem?
i picked one up does yours also have the gap between the plastic in teh handle and teh blade? i could slide a piece of paper inthere quite a bit,this means water will start rust inthere,it also means if you clean game this knife will slowly poison you.
Very good review. Amazing how such an inexpensive knife has that much pride of ownership. I have a Mora Companion and love it. I am not a good knife sharpener but I can sharpen my Mora scary sharp with no problem on my Japanese wet stone. I have thought about upgrading to a Buscraft Black. Not so sure now after seeing the handle on this one. It may be a better handle than the Bushcraft Black. Any thoughts on how the two compare? I may just get both. Kind regards.
snowpuppy77 The bushcraft black is still my favorite mora to date but I can tell you this is a close 2nd. You still get a little more knife for your buck with the black.
***** Just picked up a Mora Bushcraft knife at a local dealer called Omaha Knife. As expected from Mora is was incredibly sharp right out of the package. I did some processing on a fat wood stick and I was very impressed with the comfort and control. The sharp 90 spine made a prolific amount of fine shavings from the fatwood. The sheath is better than my Mora Companion. However a leather sheath may be in order when I can afford it. As soon as I grabbed the knife and did a curl on the fat wood I understood why so many like to use the Bushcraft Black.
Mate the link to your website takes me to some broker firm 😳. Is your website under a different name ? I’d love to have a look see at your great knife sheaths . Cheers 🍻 🍻 from Australia .
Thanks sir. Another great review. It actually looks similar to the Hultafors GK in blade design. Bottom line, do you prefer the old classic Robust or the new Pro Robust?

Your sheaths quality always make the knives look bad. Good on you. I want to thank you for subbing my channel some time ago. Really nice gesture. Cleo and I are going to make a carbon steel folding knife vid this weekend. I encourage you to check it out.

Thanks for sharing! Really like all your vids and your humble yet honest approach. Keep em coming. Thanks again.
JackpineEvergreen I appreciate that sir. Thank you.
Great review Justin, looks like a another great Mora knife and I loved the "shameless product placement" lol. Cheers, Marc
Scouting Free lol..... I couldn't help myself.
Every time I think I have enough Moras they come out with something else I think I need! Good video! Hell of a job on those sheath also!
sackett68 Thank you sir. I got to say, this is probably me 2nd favorite mora. 1st being the mora black.
This guy respect his knives, really smart comment and a useful review, i loved. Thank you very much and take care! 👍🤗
It's very rare for a custom craftsman to promote a factory made product, and do so with the enthusiasm you have for the Mora. Great vid as always brother.
Mark Coffman I always feel it's good to give credit where credit is due and mora just always impresses me.
Outstanding review! I would like one of those beauties with the Kydex neck sheath! Cheers, Mate

You seem like a really nice guy. I like the way you think. subbed. Thank you for the time making videos. Be well!
Mora's are value beyound the price. Fine bushcraft knives. I have the 711, and want to add this model next. Thanks for this review.

Great blades
Thanks for the video
Eat Carbs You will like this one I'm sure of it.
UGH I miss your old pic, lol.
Great review and as ever other Mora knife it comes Stupid Sharp ( as my son said about his Companion).
Sidney Landrum That they do. lol...
Great video. Just wondering how deep that tang goes to the handle of these Mora Pro series? Anyone anywhere has any schematics or an x-ray photo?
The knife performed exactly as I expected it to. My biggest question for this knife was how is the handle? You sure answered that!
How do you think it compares to the Black as far as the handle goes? The Black and the regular Companion are my hands down favorite knives for handle comfort. The old Robust wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite.
Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors They are very close in how comfortable they are. It's really going to come down to how big your hands are.
beautiful sheathes but the website requires an extension download
?
how much for the kydex sheath for that knife. its nice. do u sell on amazon and ship to uk
looked fun testing that new one I've still have one from wow it's been at least 15 maybe 20 years ago and its still killer sharp I've had to sharpen up a few times but it's going I want one of the bushcraft ones I'm saving up for a habilis S.R.T mushroom and thinking of pairing it with the Mora bushcraft I think that be complete kit just about other than a hatchet hey man have you ever heard of a British cat named Robin Wood he makes axes and crook knives I'm wanting to get his axe and crook knife you know anything about him please let me know be cool
Paul Henry No I sure don't man. Sorry.
Is the $85 sheath worth it for a $16 knife? Not being a smartass, I'm actually curious because your sheaths look really nice.
Awesome test, Dude. Thanks. I must buy this knive. :-)
Great video🙂 I must have crap luck with Mora. I have an Eldris and a companion HD and I am constantly getting micro chips. Anyone else have this problem?

I ordered one yesterday ☺️
The spine won't strike a ferro rod? It looks sharp enough to be able to, well to me at least. I might just have to buy one and try it out haha.
kpw528 Not at all. They are completely unfinished spines.
Good review, another good mora
Shame about the spine though, I'm surprised they haven't sorted that.
And another one strike fire :)
Happy trails
paul sheppard Thanks bud. I agree about the spine but oh well. With the cost of the knife I love them.
