My Mora Bushcraft Survival lasted over 10yrs, processed loads of wood, built many shelters, carved a few spoons. opened many packages, cleaned many fish, totally dressed and deboned a few deer, one elk, and partially processed a bear before I finally lost it last weekend. It was the original gray stainless version. The sharpening surface fell off a long time ago. The part that finally failed was that tab which holds the belt loop onto the sheath itself. Must have fallen off on a small island in Prince William Sound in Alaska. Maybe I’ll make it back there to look some day. Meanwhile, I’ve ordered stainless and carbon versions of both Bushcraft and Garberg knives, as well as stainless Kansubols-all with the “survival” kit versions and also a custom leather sheath for the Garbergs. I’ll settle on a favorite eventually, but have no doubts any one of them would be a fine choice for most any outing.
They are incredibly well made for the price, I must admit the companion is my most used knife, I honestly can't think of a reason to spend more on a knife. Thanks for dropping by the channel.
I love the Mora Black stainless steel, but the main difference is the stainless steel. Garberg 14C28N stainless steel, I have both really makes a difference for me.
Funny that you consider the mora Garberg expensive. I think the only way it can be considered expensive is in comparison with other mora knives. Compare it to other knives and it becomes a deal.
price vs performance for me, the bushcraft was much sharper, came without the secondary bevel on the blade and performed much better for me with its better sculpted handles at a third the cost of the Garberg. no brainer for me mate.
I do have the mora knife in orange too.... I prefer orange for some reasons.... I'm not a fan of the flash colors but I hike a lot and go near lakes etc... If I DO drop it.... I'll be glad that it's flash orange. I've lost tons of gear and you don't want to lose your knife. That's why i like them to be easy to find.
I think If I could have had it in a more muted colour I would have tried that but the Orange is really easy to spot when out playing in the woods, this is by far my most favourite Mora, it just feels so good in the hand, thanks for stopping by all the best Keith
Mountain Bear outdoors I wish Mora made a Bushcraft in stainless without an orange handle and not in the forest edition because I don’t care for the profiled blade.
@@T.Sizzle you can have it in the "survival" type configuration which gives you a fire steel and a sharpening plate mounted to it, www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Bushcraft-Stainless-Fixed-Blade-Sharpener/dp/B078WZKKB3. the desert version keeps the blade geometry of the orange version.
Hiya buddy. I've got this knife in a different colour and I think it's great. More heavy duty than the Companion but so comfortable to use and I've got quite big hands. I bought mine from Amazon a few years back for about £25 or thereabouts. Love it. Des
I totally agree with you this is by far my most favoured Mora knife, even more so than the Garberg which isnt that well finished for the price. all the best Keith.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to make this! Never considered the Bushcraft before, but it _does_ seem to check the same boxes. Thank you for the reply, and for the video as well. Made me think.😊
So far so good, I really like it for splitting kindling as it's more wedge shaped than the mora. If you want a grown up bushcraft knife that you don't mind oiling and keeping clean the Condor is a beautiful tool to have. If you can't be arsed with kit maintenance the mora is excellent
The Garberg was designed to be more than a knife, and therefore fails as a knife, in my opinion. The bushcraft orange is a solid knife, but I prefer the heavy duty companion. The heavy duty companion and the clipper are Mora's best value knives, IMO.
I started out with the companion many years ago and still have the same one now they are great products For me I love the way the bushcraft fits my hand but I still use the companion a lot. Thanks for dropping by 😁
@@jeffhodge7333 He's right Jeff. The Garberg was designed to be a one-tool option, and as a result, it fails to perform better than more nimble Mora's in terms of knife related tasks. Check your IQ, son.
The absence of a finger-guard on the Garberg is a disaster waiting to happen, especially in a survival situation where dexterity is usually compromised.
I agree 100%? For 'bushcraft' the Mora Bushcraft is plenty good enough, for 'survival' one apparently needs a sharpened crow bar (and balls of iron) .. batoning (if you must) is no issue, provided 'you' apply a minimum of common sense (or a hatchet, if available) I personally don't like the 'look' of the Mora Bushcraft, but it works and gets the job done!
agreed ,its not a pretty knife and you wont be too precious about letting your friends borrow it. I like the concept of a survival knife but im not in the special forces or planning any jungle missions soon so Mora it is! thanks for visiting :)

Hi Josh, what are your thoughts on the knives you bought? Thanks

I have the bushcraft orange survival its a great knife and gets a lot of use.

Definitely, the color is great. So silly to have gear that disappears in the woods. I rather like the color of this, it is really bright.
The edge on the Mora 2K, Kansbol and Eldris is no more difficult to sharpen than a normal scandi profile
I have the Mora Bushcraft black, and it has one of the most comfortable handles of any knife that I know.
Thanks for doing this video. I’d often wondered the same.
thank you for stopping by, yeah I have to admit im not that bothered about using the Garberg considering how expensive it is.

Can I carry one of this to a combat knife?

you are very welcome, I would be interested to see what you decide on, all the best brother
I've got the mora bushcraft black if you want a knife thats going to work and not break get that knife its a tool and it will always work
hows the condor bushlore holding up?

"The Garberg ..... fails as a knife." Sorry to hear about your low IQ. Not sure I can help you.

Nice down to earth vid. Good job!
thank you glad you liked.
The absence of a finger-guard on the Garberg is a disaster waiting to happen, especially in a survival situation where dexterity is usually compromised.
they do it in black, Khaki and erm Black hahaha camera fail :)
Good review, works good enough. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
