World of Mora Knives: 1st Cool Defined

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- For the money you cannot beat Mora knife. Made in Sweden, not China, you will be amazed at the value and utility of the these cool little blades. Some will cost under $20. And yet they are nearly perfect camp, light survival, survival kit, hunting, kitchen, tackle box,and even EDC fixed blades. Many models are shown and discussed, some feature carbon blades, some stainless. Most are below 4.0 oz in total carry weight. That is amazingly lightweight for a 4" blade. They are one of my preferred backpacking blades. Favorite models are shown with the Bushcrafter and 840MG topping the list. Multiple colors and configurations are available. Mora has improved their line according to user input as well. A high value blade reference standard that finally got a reference video review in TNP.

This makes me so damn happy! Here in Sweden you can get these knife everywhere. And I mean everywhere, They cost nothing and hell they work real well. Sure they are not full tang blades that you will display at home but in your backpack or on your belt as a real user knife they never fail. I've used them for 25+ years and never have I had a problem. Sure I use a Eka Nordic T12 and other Eka knifes ( also Swedish ) as my main blades but these are so damn valuable it's stupid not to have at least a few of them.
I have a 22 year old Classic 601 that I have used for everything all this time and it's still going strong.
The amazing Moras finally make their voice hear in TNP. Having used these blades for over five years, I'm a believer. They are light, tough, and cool. Mora continues to update their best sellers to make them even better. The all black Bushcraft is a fave! Thanks guys. -Nutn
Great video Nutn.
I have the mora bushcraft black.. it goes out into the woods with me all the time
That knife is not sparking off the rod well cause its stainless steel ,. the new Bushcraft is carbon steel .
When MoraKniv perfects the Mora-Pathfinder-sheath, can you do a reviwe on it? Also, give the Classic 3 a look, it can't be beat.
Thanks btw for another great video, tell me if you pass thru Sweden someday...
Dude you gotta show off the 940 benchmade!!! Love that knife!!!!
I've been working in the Norwegian fishing industry. and the Mora knives have been used by every crew member for as long as i can remember. we have a drawer full of them ;) grate user knife
I still use my Morakniv classic I got as a 6-7year old, still going strong 20+years later

I love that..too bad kids these days are always on their iPhones not being out their in nature.
we used to bring knifes on fieldtrips, nowadays we'd have stabbings ):
Yeah sometimes I wish I could go back and have my childhood in the 80s/90s..it would be a second kind of cool ;)
You are so fortunate to live in a part of the country that has such awesome mountains.
i work as an electrican in sweden and moraknifes is one of the tools on construction sites in sweden that no worker is going without
Discovered Mora this year and am both satisfied and amazed! So many products are over hyped and over priced that we struggle to accept a truly excellent, value for money product, even when it is shoved in our face! Fortunately Mora is so excellent that it cannot be ignored.
I have just 2 and every time I use or look at them I still can't believe how good they are for such little money!
Another brand, again Swedish, that I can totally recommend is Hultafors, in the same vain as Mora but with a less comprehensive range. They make a wider range of other products though, including hand made axes. Well worth checking out.
Moras are awesome. They cut great. During one of my dumber moments I gave myself a 7 stitch cut and didn't even feel it right away. Even the doctor in the ER wanted to know what kind of knife it was while praising the clean cut.
I like how you put tools and equipment in context with your stories, defining or at least talking about the POU really sets the stage and expectations of the item and video. Thanks for your videos, Dave.
Makes me proud to be Swedish
The thing with the sheats of many models of the moraknife is that they are not intended to be carried in the belt. It is a part of a system togheter with our style of workpants that have a special pocket on the outside of the tigh. Just on top of that pocket there is a button which is used to secure the knife sheat.
I used to work with an american as a painter here in Sweden and his was lyrical about our pants. He said that it was superior to anything he ever used in USA..
Lyrical about your pants? Did he write songs about them?

whats a good swedish pant brand?
This is my favourite and a classic model.
products.fristadskansas.com/article/listdetails?articleId=235565&isOrphanStyle=False
I have tried a lot of models and brands during the years but it seems like the classic models is the way to go. The other and newer ones tends to be over designed.
Good brands are Fristad, Blåkläder,Jobman and Björnkläder
So glad to finally see the Mora in the TNP spotlight. A quality, affordable knife you can rely on.
as a norwegian i have several of these, it can be bought in most hardware stores and sports stores around here, it's more or less standard. got my first one when i was 6 years old.
Love love LOVE Mora knives! I've got a handful in my collection, and I want more.
I'm new to TNP. Can't say enough good things about the channel. Wish I would have found the channel years ago. After watching a handful of videos I have found I know so very little. Very humbling.
I bought some Mora knives a while ago and i swear by them. For the price and value they are outstanding. Im a trucker and its my edc for what ever i need.
I have an old mora my grandfather gave me when i was 10, 13 years later it still comes on canoe trips with me. Great knives!
It's 2015 and I remember watching the Lite My Fire Fire Steel review years ago..... keep the vids coming... we are still watching... the haters hate because we are not watching their vids....
Loved these since I got my first Mora... had the old (not great) wood handle many years ago, those handles and the "feel" really brought the overall knife down some, but that was still the first knife I could shave arm-hair with out of the box and it worked great as a general util./house knife... But after getting the rubber/plastic handled versions - those are really great knives for so many uses
The blue plastic handled Mora with the finger guard is the classic of the bunch. It is the beginners knife of any skandinavian kid. I remember them with red handles though. They last forever and the price of them makes the user likely to apply the knife without worrying about knicking or bending the blade.
They are the perfect tool.
Great little quality knives. Makes me proud to be swedish. Btw new subscriber here :) just stumbled across your videos and enjoy watching them.
Sweden also make the best axes too, imo. Gränsfors Bruks is the only brand of axe I use.
It's a testament to the popularity of bushcrafting that regular enthusiast campers (which Nutn basically speaks for) feel any need to defend using a lighter or a match...
I bought a Mora several years ago and pretty much put it aside and forgot about it. Just the other day I put it on the EPA and BAM! What an edge. It has lanyard holes both sheath and blade. It will for sure work on deer and coyotes for me this year. Excellent value knife. KRV's rule! Thanks Nutn!
Absolutely love my Mora companion. Used it while skinning and butchering my moose last year. Held its edge well and didn't slip in my hand. The Scandi grind, once you've got worked out, re sharpens easily and keeps its edge.
I'm a big Mora fan and I think that their sheaths are very utilitarian and can be customized. With the Craft Line series you can make a para-cord slider neck/over the shoulder carry system. I have given a few away just because I can afford to. Some people are just not happy unless they're bitching about something! Thanks for the great video.
Watching the video for what seems like a minute I look down at the time and I'm 15 in just goes to show how great his videos are
At christmas time, I made little EDC kits for two non-prepper friends I'm hoping to convince to get into preparedness. Each kit got a Morakniv Craftline Basic 511. Nothing superb at 12$, but as newcomers to the 5 Cs idea, they were kind of blown away by the quality of the knife itself. It's a great buy for anyone who's starting out.
Glad to finally see a review on the Moras. My personal favorites would be the Mora #1 for its history and classic vibe (second kind of cool), and the 711G for its all around usefulness. Great knives at a great price!
My first knife as a kid - was a Mora Scout. I probably have that in common with millions of Swedish kids thru the years Mora have been making the Scout knife!
Great timing for the mora vid and the axe video also. My young daughters are getting old enough for some outdoor adventures and i am getting our gear together for some overnight excursions in the north ga mountains very soon. It is time for them to start learning the lessons the outdoors can teach us. And the great function and value of these knives will come in very handy. Long time subscriber but don't comment very often. Just wanted to take a minute to say thanks for the Project. Those of us who truly understand what it is all about should speak up more often. It is about more than just gear or guns. It is about life and family and the philosophy and values that we hold ourselves to. So thanks so much and keep up the good work. It is greatly appreciated!
The cold steel roach belly makes a great kitchen knife also. My wife took mine, and now we both use it for food prep.
Thanks for bringing these to the Project Boss. Just a word on the roll/ chip issue: If you strop the edge a bit after purchase, it forms a micro-bevel that deters chipping. The chipping issue was a big sticking spot for me, until I learned about the micro-bevel. Thanks for all you do Sir. Have a great day...Stay safe.
Out of all the small fixed options and heck folders for that matter, the Mora has been with me on more outings than any other knife.
I have several Mora knives. I have a Companion in my BOB, a Clipper in my tool box, a Craftline in the utility drawer in the kitchen and a couple of the old wooden handled ones floating around in the garage, they are great working blades and you can not beat the price. And I plan to pick up a Pathfinder soon!
Just bought one. As a scout in the army this is a knife I feel I can put to good use. Thank you once again for a very good video.
as a TNPer since 2010 ive seen your knife reviews go down in quality due to lack of enthusiasm for knives. im absolutly thrilled that this review goes back to your older KRV's with TONS of enthusiasm and excitement. this is the type of review i wanna see from you... tons of information tons of excitement lots of talking and explaining your views, talking about pou weight feel size and competitive options. love this review i hope you go back to your older ways with your krvs and make them exciting as you did this one. thank you for all your hard work over the years and hours upon hours of awesome vids. keep it up!!
Love the stainless Mora so much, I gave the wife and daughter one and got myself a few extra's knowing that in the future they might not be available. Grew up with a Dad who brought Kershaw home all the time due to work. And I figured Kershaw was the best for the buck until Mora came across my table.
"you should have at least 10 Mora's" LOL, fully agree. The wife used her Mora to can chicken last week. The knife cut through the chicken BETTER than a hot knife through butter. Even my big Schrade (which I do like) is no match for the Mora.
Been rocking and gifting these mora's for a long time....Love them
So glad you put out a vid on these knives, they are such a great line of products. I store one in all my bags and kits without worry. The best backup knife to anyone's second kind of cool choice.
My father and I both bought one because of your recommendation.
Nutn this is one of your best POUs yet. This review at its core of what sets TNP apart from all other RUclips channels . Thanks for all of your hard work ,and keeping it real.
Greatest knife ever. About time you reviewed these.
Great video not many youtubers talk about the common sense aspect of what they are reviewing. I love the outdoors and im always looking for something to add to my pack. A lot of times i have to make small changes to my gear and using a file to put a 90° edge on the spine of a mora is what im talking about. Rarely do i find a piece of gear thats perfect for what i want. As far as bang for your buck you really cant beat the mora knives. Anyone that hasnt bought one do yourself a favor and get one asap. Dont let the price fool you these are some of the best knives on the market
That footage of the winter hike with the kids, I loved that vid lessons learned & fun had, if you can ever do something like that again would be super cool!
Ahaaa!!! Haven't been on in a while. Finally great to see Mora FINALLY on TNP. Thank You NutNFancy!!!! I've been carrying one of these on me everyday for the past 3 years. One of the best fixed blades in my book.
The Craftline Q (with red handle) was what i got issued when doing my tour in the Swedish army. Man that thing got absolutely tortured. Carving wood, splitting and preparing kindling, cutting cord, cardboard, rope, engine hose, used as improvised prybar, you name it we used it for it. Sure, i had to get it sharpened a few times, but the blade and the handle held up to everything.
I really recommend getting one. For the price you don´t have to worry about breaking it.
Valentines day gift for the girlfriend. I used the dremel to engrave her initials into the pommel of the handle, she totally loved it! Now she can leave my Endura alone for food prep and use her mora in the backcountry :D
Mom has always had like two moras since she was a scout so kinda grew up with mora knives
Finaly Mora review!
Got me self a Companion, using it all the time. Great knifes.
Jag älskar MoraKniv!:)
This I one of my fav Nutn vids, reviewing a great value blade while rolling in footage of very memorable adventures! This double owl still relies on info from so many amazing reviews, adventures, etc., it's basically a digital reference library for me 👍🏼😎
I just bought a 840MG at a local hardware store for 10€ with the stores marking on the sheath (rubbed it off with some solvent). I was really happy to finally get one, especially for that price. It´s a great knife, it came freaking sharp and I think it will be for a while, the steel seems to hold up pretty well. It just corrodes instantly.
Love my Moraknivs. They have knives for about every use imaginable. You want to fillet fish? Get the Mora Flex Trade Knife. The Companion is great for carving wood and general camp use. Name it and they have a knife for it. Morakniv and Opinel are some of the best knife bargains on the market and the most overlooked. Thanks for the video. I hope it doesn't make the price go up.
Mora's are great. These knives are affordable, dependable and can carve wood like nothing else. I usually make my own sheaths for them and always have one at my disposal. The original #1 style with a wooden handle is one of my personal favorites for carving, too.
Great video. I love carrrying my Moras with me on my backpacking trips, and often use it to defend myself from feral summer sausage and wild apples. As to the firesteel issue, I carry a lighter, matches, and a big firesteel as a backup. And later this month when I'm heading out for a winter trip, I'll be carrying dura-flame starter log bar thingies to help get the fire going.
The high level of First Cool has its own Second Kind of Cool. I love these knives. I have them in my cars, in my truck, in my packs, and a few other places. They are just good knives.
Mora for the price is an unbelievable level of sharpness/steel and price.....you cant beat them for the money. Even People (as myself) from Finland use them for beaters. Good steel.
I love it when RUclips just kicks you off their website for no reason, then reboots, therefore wiping out your whole comment you just wrote.
What I was saying was, Thanks Nutn, for showing the More brand as well as the high value, low cost options. All of them would be (or are) in my collection. I think the saying, "You get what you pay for" is valid enough of the time, but sometimes the consumer gets fortunate with a winner like the Mora line of knives.
In Sweden every carpenter, painter etc carries a mora knife of some sort.
Spot on. The Mora suits your tag - nothing fancy, but highly effective.
They also do a cheap spoon knife for those bowls! Personally, I'd just use my soup can...
I do have many prettier knives, but none I carry as often as a Mora!
Nice review. I have a bushcraft black high carbon version: it's awesome ! Tears through wood like it's not even there! Also have my tactical loincloth. It's Molle compatible. Comes with a fero rod too.
Your most eloquent, convincing review in a while (not that I needed any convincing on Mora's qualities :) ). About the strength...you want to be very gentle if you batton them. I broke two Companions during medium to heavy battoning. One of them was the heavy duty model. Both tangs broke inside the handle. Other than that, they are amazing value due to their lightweight, compactness and edge.
They make a darn good fillet knife I use on a regular basis on the Gulf. No rust. Good edge retention. Sharpens well. Cheap. Firm and responsive in hand. All around great, light, fillet knife.
Never put much thought into my knives for survival, but as of recently I picked up some decent knives, two of them are moras, and they really DO live up to the hype, and at 15 bucks a pop, you cant go wrong. I have my higher end stuff too, but for every day use or around a camp these things are pretty darn good.
I carried a Mora with fero rod in handle all over Philmont in 2014. 100+ miles and it was light and did its job.
Great summary and great insight. I happen to agree with you a lot. I got a Mora Light my fire for Christmas and love it so far.
Thank you Nutnfancy for the years or original videos and reviews!
My most favorite review yet Nutn. Totally agree with your bushcraft opinion. Bic lighter is my fire kit. I do carry matches though as backup, but in 20 years of backpacking, I've never been without a nice fire whenever I needed.
I have 3 Mora Companion HD's great knife in Carbon but the edge will roll, the sheaths will also ware out and not retain the knife after some time. I use it as my EDC when at home in the yard, cant beat the price. Price point and function is awesome Im sold and continue to use them
I have had the 840 green/black in carbon steel for 3 years or so. I paid 13 bucks for it on Amazon. I ended up duracoating it and thing is scary sharp. Killer knife for the money, it is lightweight and awesome for backpacking.
Great looking blade! I'm enjoying all the recent uploads!
tactical veterinarian Thank you, I've been working hard for you guys.
nutnfancy We love ya Nutn. Keep up the hard work.
yeah, grat upload mate, thanks
Gotta love Morakniv! I picked up their new base model at SHOT. Review to come!
Finally a Nutnfancy mora video, love the frequency of the videos lately.
Thank you very much! In an earlier vid of a knife that was way out of my price range, I asked for vids on more affordable knives. Wow, you came through in a huge way! Love Mora knives. I have one already but didn't have a clue on the verity that Mora offered. I will be investing in more Mora knives and maybe some of the competitive options listed in this vid. Thanks again!
Mora is awesome. I always pick up a Mora from my favorite Knife booth at gun show i go to every year.
MORA SHEATH- the Knife is an authenticated legend!
I agree completely about the sheaths. I think these are in some ways the most practical sheath I have ever used. I clip into the corner of my front pocket. On and off quick. Hangs below a belt pack. Doesn't fall off. Doesn't cut like leather or nylon will if you're careless. No moisture problems. Very easy to get the knife in the sheath with one hand. What's not to like.
I totally love the Mora Bushcraft Black, I've got 3 currently and have them all over the place. 1 in my daily backpack for ride the motorcycle, 1 in the car, 1 in the house for when I go hiking. I just love them, easy to buy, easy to use, easy to sharpen......really can't go wrong with them :D But if money wasn't an issue, I'd get a Fallknives F1 or the Spyderco Street Bowie.....for me
Got my first Mora a couple months ago! Love It!!
It's hard to beat the value of the mora. I have really enjoyed mine. Thanks for the post.
Your comments about bush crafting are so right on and funny, Nutn'! Hahaha!
Haha now i feel lucky i had a tour around the factory ^^
Finally... I was always wondering why there wasn´t a Mora review on this channel yet ... now we got one and I´m not disappointed :D ..
I only have one until now, an 840 clipper, the one you like very much ... it costs 10 € here at one of the major hardware stores, they don´t advertise it as a Mora though, that´s why the cheaper price, usually they run for 12-13 € ... I like it, haven´t used it a lot yet but I´m thinking of buying some more as trunk/toolbox knives or to throw in the motorcycle backpack to have a cheap and quality knife ready if needed ...
Terrific review. Thank you TNP! I've gone through 3 Mora's and I'm in love with my 2014 Bushcraft Black. The integrated FireSteel on it throws great sparks, you may ways to take another peek at it just to confirm. I've done batoning, carving, and even used it as the speartip for fishing. It's a terrific knife that can take a ton of abuse. It's certainly not my EDC (Benchmade Osborne 943SBK - amazingly sharp right out of the box!), but my Moras come with me on EVERY outing. Thanks again!
I have two of these, and they are great.Take them out on my scout camps all the time.
Love Mora Knives.. I own a few of them. Well worth the money
Thanks for the video
The black bushcrafter is great and super sharp.
An excellent product that works and is so well priced
Use Mora Comp MG for fishing and outdoors work. Sharp out of the box. Amazon has them like 15 bucks and with Prime. I got them for every guy I know, cuz I know it's a great knife and awesome priced to gift to your dad, bro and friends. Great knife, and nice review.
Swear by mora. You forgot. Commercial fisherman go to knife in the industry. Great reivew love that you tried to bring the web survivalist to the real world.
We need a loincloth and a Mora video living off the fat of the land, lol. I ended up getting the light my fire model and the Companion Heavy Duty MG. I wish I would have known about Mora's a long time ago. Great knife to ride along with for a price that can't be beat.
That companion, black grip with green accents, i believe is identical to the one i bought the other day. I can't wait to beat on it when I go to the desert in a few months. For the record, I use matches for firestarting.. no liquid fuel, but with some dry wood and ideally some garbage or tinder/bark strips for kindling, it has worked decades for me. Probably only time I've used flint for fire was for a merit badge in scouts. Great backup, but take some waterproof matches or strike anywheres in a sealed bag and you're good to go.
Freaking love mine. Got the Black. You just cant beat it for the money and sharpness right about of the box.
Finally the gold standard of knives gets some recognition in the US. I am dismayed at some of the knife choices i see in US based bushcraft survival videos. People using fighting knives for back country living are making life difficult for themselves.
The 15 dollar mora knife is the benchmark.
I like their laminated O1 blades. Rockwell hardness of 61-62. Unfortunately, they recently stopped making knives with those blades, but you can still get the blades and make yourself a handle. I've carved branch flutes (Native American flutes) with their laminated O1 knives - an hour or more of carving - and still shaved my arm when I was done. Mora's steel is very good, especially for the price.
My paranoia of mountain lions/cougars (quite a few where I hike) requires a combat knife for me to be able to feel comfortable in the wilderness. BUT a Mora knife is a perfect secondary blade. Since it weighs almost nothing, there's no excuse for not having one. And thanks for sawing into the handle! I've always been curious about the tang. --Scott
***** Interesting information. Thanks for posting. You compelled me to google "mountain lion attacks on humans" for the area I spend a lot of time in. The last attack was 20 years ago, and it was non fatal. And you're right about a combat knife being a dagger-- and that's what I carry, while the Mora is for utility. Okay, now I'll google "bear attacks on humans" for my area. If I get similar results, I might save some weight by nixing the dagger, and just carrying the Mora. Cheers. --Scott
I love my Mora. I love the clipper sheath. I love the belt clip. I like how easy it is to stick on a waistband. I have one in OD and plan on getting the hot pink version. I got the orange version for my sister who is a backpacker. For the price you really can't go wrong with the Mora.The only downside is that the sheath isn't ambidextrous. I have a friend who is a lefty so he couldn't use a clipper. But the wood handled Moras come with an ambidextrous sheath. So I plan on getting him one of those.
A great thing about a mora knives is that they are so cheap and durable, that you can do whatever you want with them, they'll stand up to the task, and even if you break them, you can just get a new one.
Finally TNP gives Mora some credit
Ally the mountain dog is so cool. Awesome dog.
Great review. I'll be picking one up today at the Tanner gun show in Denver.
