Garberg is a mountain top in Dalarna, the county in Sweden where the town Mora is located (after which the company is named obviously). Eldris is a station along a ski trail outside Mora. Kansbol is a tiny village outside of Mora, it used to be a farm where people brought their cattle in the summers, but nowadays it's just summer houses. So yeah, pretty much an elf in lord of the rings.
I love when people say ignorant shit trying to sound funny or superior and then you find out the reasoning is really deep and meaningful and they were too busy sounding like a jackass to look it up
@@heithheithinson2495 😂😂😂😂
Me and my Kansbol are sitting on the couch together watching Rambo (with Swedish captions).
Nice!
:) me too
Just so you know, there is a purpose for the Kansbol's compound grind. The front half of the blade is supposed to be better for food prep, while the scandi portion is meant to be used for bushcraft.
Seems like a sensible compromise for a camp knife, especially in combination with a small axe or hatchet, make some feathersticks with the scandi part, then slice some food with the tip portion.
Exactly. Seems like basic logic...
Also easier in the sharpening point of view. With the Kansbols thinner portion you dont have to remove as much metal compared to the Garberg in shaping another bevel once the original has worn out.
Yeah that's a no brainer.
You think someone reviewing a product would know of these things.
Garberg One of these ‘fäbodar’ is called Garberg. It originally belonged to the village outside of Mora where our factory’s located today and all our knives are made. Garberg lies at the shore of a large lake, created by a nearby hydroelectric dam in the great river of Dalarna. Here, people have been working hard for centuries, facing the challenges of nature and the demanding self-sufficient life. To name our full tang knife Garberg after the place and the people who lived there is our way of paying tribute to our roots. Our ancestors and the surroundings of Mora are all parts of who we at Morakniv are today. The Garberg knife - the proud, strong and hard working tool that gladly faces every challenge - is our interpretation of the life once lived at the ’fäbod’ of Garberg
Todd Riddle nice history
Todd Riddle Excellent information! I love this knife, it does everything I ask of it!
Love the knife before, with the story, it’s on my to buy list. Thank you.
Classy explanation, unlike the ignorant presenter in the video.
Wow there are a lot of sensitive bitches even on these channels.
I don't understand why people dislike Mora's sheaths. They retain perfectly, are ultra lite and nearly indestructible. What's not to like?
people are pretentious and want kydex or a sheath that doesnt look like a fishing knife
They retain perfectly..... for be about 5 minutes. LOL
OK, a bit sarcastic, but essentially true. If you use the knife frequently, the sheath will stop retaining the knife. You can turn the sheath upside down, and the knife will fall out. For the price, they're about the best knives around. I don't mind the sheath, either. But, those who criticize it are not (ALL) being knife snobs. Their criticisms are valid.
@@shadowx8405 lol I agree. They’re functional, but they surely lose their retention pretty fast after you use it a few times. You either have to use heat and reshape the sheath regularly or get a new sheath that’ll properly keep the knife in.
My problem with them they look like
Crap they are not amb
And they dont have a good mounting
Maybe others have had that experience but I honestly don't know what they mean. I have had my mora knife with synth sheath for 8 years now and used for everything from skinning dear to everyday use. There jas been no change in retention that I have perceived at all and I always carry it horizontal on my belt.
The compound grind on the Kansbol is supposed to offer a little more versatility around the camp. The thin portion of the blade is ideal for food prepping.
Works well for skinning game, normal scandi "belly" does not work as well.
The sheaths are part of why I like them so much.
Think I'm with the Kansbol. Light weight yet performs way above what you would expect. It's a solid all rounder and it looks less conspicuous. It looks like what it is, a Bushcraft or camping knife. No skulls, no zombie guts, no glass breaker or bottle opener in sight. Not going to frighten the neighbours with this (unless you're doing something stupid). Plus what I love about mora is that it's not chinese mystery steel yet still at an affordable price. The edge is also wickedly sharp, I'd say easily amongst the sharpest knives I own.
*Finally a youtuber who tells you the most important thing about knives... The price!*
I paid around $75 to $80 for my garberg. And I’d do it again. It’s well worth it. ESEE 4 is $130. The benchmade hidden canyon $120......the list goes on and on. I love my mora garberg
It’s way better than the esee 4 IMO. I hate the 4. Why does it have a choil? Block handles suck.
As a lot of you already claims the Kansbol shares the blade shape with the older model Mora 2000. From what I heard, back in the day Norway was a big export market for Mora. The Norwegians love outdoor life and wanted a blade for making sandwiches. So the odd shape of the front is made for the purpose of being a butter knife.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Mora bushcraft forest also had this bladeshape, with the handle of the bushcraft. I hated that handle but love the garberg and kansbol handle
Here is how I view the Garberg: it's my main, multi purpose belt knife. It is rather light, even with the sheath it's very compact and both knife and sheath are pretty much impervious to to elements (water, rain, snow, heat cold,...). I put a Skandivex edge on my which is rather robust so it will handle pretty much everything I throw at it. So for me the Garberg is the one knife I will always have on me since it so light, compact, impervious and unobtrusive and it still is able to handle pretty much everything if done with thought.
Of course I love my ESEE 6 but it is just too big and heavy and threatening looking to have on you all the time (JMHO, I like to be light and fast).
Also I don't like the retention strap that comes with the multimount since it slides of to the side way to easily making it useless...
So I added my own more traditional retention strap made with a snap, a rivet and some mil spec webbing.
Great video, I very much agree on your point of the Garberg being one hell of a great deal.
Überlebe! Nice!
+ Überlebe! I understand the multimount sheath has some velcro to keep it together and that does not mix with salt water, dirt or snow. To me the multimount sheath seems useless. Pay more and get some extra plastic.
enfin une personne qui réfléchie bien ,c'est sure que une lame de 6 mm d'épaisseur fera peur a chaque personne que l'on va croiser moi aussi je laisse le gros couteau bien trop lourd pas discret , j'ai pris un mora kansbol ,et la pour la soie traversante le poids la discrétion je vais prendre le mora garberg et quand on regarde le teste de destruction du mora garberg vidéo Morakniv Garberg DESTRUCTION . . . By Mayor Fuglycool ruclips.net/video/iVwrk88VFio/видео.html&ab_channel=MayorFuglycool on comprend que la taille ne fait pas l'homme
Greatest feature of the Kansbol - it is ridiculously light weight! I have smaller knives that way 3 to 4 times as much! It is not small. It's extremely handy for carving and food prep, also works excellent with a ferro rod. AND - even if you have a "do it all" knife, I always have one attached to my GHB for in case you have somebody with you can use a good knife and because of the almost non-existing weight there is no excuse not to have it with you.
The grind of the Kansbol works wonderfully removing the backstraps and generally butchering medium and large game. I also like the light weight and feel in the hand making it easy to use and manipulate for prolonged work.
Thanks for the review, Aaron. I personally preferred (and purchased) the Kansbol with the molle-compatible sheath system. I prefer the lighter weight (like you say, less than most folders) for hiking, and I love the compound grind for hunting/cooking/camp tasks. The thinner tip makes the knife superb for things like fileting fish, while still having the ability to do light batoning and carving. It didn't hurt that I caught a sale and got the whole package for $36.
Per X-Ray kansbol is 3/4 tang, I love thin blade n it’s design! Great Review!
I believe blade on the Kansbol is the same as the old Mora 2000. The knife is more of a camp, hunting and fishing knife than a typical Mora scandi for bushcraft tasks.
+Fjell Wood. It's the same indeed. They use that same blade style on different models but as far as I know the Mora 2000 was the first.
Great review, thanks for showing us. Take care.
Moras sheaths are awesome and the kansbol is a fantastic design. I’m guess this guy doesn’t do much hunting because the grind at the tip is designed to make processing game easier. And then the blade transitions to a scandi grind for carving firemaking etc
I almost got a Kansbol last time I was at SMKW in Tennessee. But got a BK10, love it. I'm going to get a Kansbol next time. Hard to beat a Mora.
Great knives! I love my Moras! Now I apparently have to add at least 1 more to my collection!
I started with a kansbol, great versatile knife, but i managed to snap the tang while prepping firewood. Luckily it happened close home, otherwise i would have been in trouble. Now i have the garberg, it is a much stronger k ife i can really depend on in the wilderniss.
Excellent vid! It was my understanding that Mora released the Garberg at the request of the American market!
+Hiker Marapese. Probably could be right. Europeans know of other models that were full tang.
Yes got them both .nice job done.
I was getting something on Amazon and the kasbul was 30 bucks, so I said screw it and bought it, and it's the sharpest knife I've ever held in my hand. Including chef knives.
Great review, thanks brother
I gotta say the Kansbol has quickly become my most used fixed blade. Sometimes the best designs are the simplest.
While these two knives are without a doubt great quality blades, as all Mora's are, I see nothing that they will do better that the Mora Companion H.D. will do except for lightening up your wallet. I understand Mora's marketing strategy by trying to cash in on another group of outdoorsman that always has to have the "latest and greatest", but let's face it, people started buying Morakniv's for the VALUE they bring to the table. I ALWAYS have two Mora Companion H.D. knives in my pack. Not because I think one will break, but because over the years I have given so many away as gifts. I have seen that these knives stand up to every task a camper, prospector, or hunter could ask of them. I have never broken one, but then again I don't abuse ANY knife. From a VALUE standpoint, there is no better knife on the market today than the Mora Companion series. I buy knives to cut, chop, and slice, not for all the bells and whistles of a fancy sheath. With that being said, I know Mora has a LOT of great knives in their stable, I just hope they continue to produce the knives that any youngster can afford, and knives that guys like me are proud to give away to those just starting out in their outdoor journey.
I've been using a Companion for years as an all-around hunting and camping knife and I agree with your points about the value and versatility of the Companion. I've bought many as gifts as well, and both my kids carry them in their packs. The thing that is drawing me to the Garberg is the sheath (and better quality steel). I want something I can mount to PALS webbing on my packs/vests without fiddle-dinking around with some jerry-rigged contraption using the Companion sheath. Yes, I could buy a custom Kydex sheath for the Companion, but then I'm up into Garberg territory in terms of the total $ investment. That is my reason for considering the Garberg (still shopping).
I love my companion HD but I also have to Mora 2000 (same blade as the Kansbol but with a slightly different handle, I bought it because it’s sheath is ambidextrous and I’m a lefty) - and I love the extra length of the 2009/Kansbol. My only complaint with my companion HD is it’s a little bit short for my liking/food prep around camp, etc.
Better steel, handle material, full tang, leather sheath, etc...
still using the clipper I bought ten years ago, one tough little knife that keeps coming back for more.
Bowhunter_va Virginia Companion HD Carbon is my go to everyday knife. I’ve got an ESEE for more heavy duty. I do like the look of the Garberg but the Companion is such a good knife for only about £18.
You lost me when you said the secondary grind on the Kansbol doesn’t effect performance. It most certainly does.
Yeah this looks like a good design for me. That flat grind tip and belly would be handy for skinning small game. I just wish they offered it in high carbon instead of stainless
The second grind about halfway up the blade on the Kansbol is called a distal taper. The edge bevel on the blade, believe it or not, is actually a true Scandi grind, from heel to tip. It just looks too shallow to be counted as a Scandi grind halfway up the blade because of the aforementioned distal taper having removed material from the flats in those areas. But it’s a Scandi grind, at the same angle, from heel to tip. The reason for the distal taper is to make the blade more slicy-dicy and better for EXTRA-fine carving work towards the tip. A lot of people say it’s great for fine wood carving, skinning, and food prepping. NOT great for batoning, though - as a lot of meat’s been removed from the tip as compared to the Garberg (which, I’ll state in respectful disagreement, you CAN baton with for days. It just won’t work for thick pieces of wood.) Some folks say the two knives pair great together because the Garberg’s tantamountly the exact same knife as the Kansbol (same blade profile and handle and everything, actually,) but it’s built for power while the Kansbol is built more for finesse.
From what I have heard, Giant Dwarves make these somewhere out in space.
I might double check my source of information on this.
Honestly to this day my Mora Companion MG Carbon is all I need.. I have like 40-50 different knives but Mora is the one,for chopping wood I have Husqwarna axe and hatchet…Simple things are beautiful
Well done. Mora makes great knives. Thanks!
I've got both and love them. I've decided that the Garberg works best when hunting. Like the Kansbol when backpacking and every ounce counts.
Great review, I'm still not quite sure how you don't have more subscribers; your reviews are at the top of the line. When I see a knife I like, the first thing I do is check RUclips to see if you have made a video on it.
Also, are you planning on getting your hands on that new "Tactical Sliver" Gerber Strongarm? I've never heard of the new steel being used (BDZ-1), but the silver handle and stuff looks sick.
Steve Smith thank you for the support! Already preordered the strongarm BDZ-1 ships 11/17. I’ve never use that steel either, but from my research it supposed to be almost exactly like the sanvik steel on the Garberg in this video.
I agree top reviews
nice video
you have a cool channel
keep doing what you're doing
Others already noted the compound grind for food prep, Mora also has stated its use for finer skinning tasks. Their audience for the Kansbol is the general outdoorsman/hunter.
The Garberg is amazing. The sheath is out of this world in terms of function. I personally love the full tang. It’ll definitely be more durable than a partial when batoning over the long term. You also get the pommel on the back and at this point, you can get one for under $80 bucks. Cannot beat it. It will be the next one I get. No doubt. I already have an Enzo trapper which I use all the time and a mora black but no stainless steel blades for wetter conditions, this is the best choice. Bar none. Love your content! Keep posting stuff dude!
Exactly. I don’t understand how a full tang is a gimmick especially when I’ve seen many videos praising it when batoning. Just ordered mine yesterday. 🙏🏻
On the molle version , if you drill an additional hole on the back of the mounting plate that the plastic sheath slips into ( carefully lay it out and drill the right size hole so it fits a tek-lok) and fasten it with small Chicago screws , it's an awesome rig on the belt. I love the Garberg a ton.
My son is 13 and a Boy Scout. Looking at the Kansbol for a gift as his first "real knife". Thanks for the review!
I was sharpening my Garberg yesterday and I was pondering my own long-term thoughts on it. I've been using it exclusively since the launch. My overall take is the same as yours - the Garberg is a great value, if you need the 'bombproof' version. The upgraded steel and full tang are worth the extra money for a knife that will be used for decades. The retention strap on the modular sheath can be accidentally bumped to the side, as mentioned by others. That's a design flaw I'm surprised Mora made. Otherwise, the modular sheath concept is great.
+John Campbell. Maybe the price is way different in the USA on these Garberg knives but over here they are around 100 euro so probably some 118 usd. For that money I have many other options. Even for half that money I have many other options. Is the Mora the new fashion thing in the USA??
Dutch Bushcraft I just bought 3 more Garbergs from Amazon on sale. I ordered 3 for $56.00 each and free shipping. I now have 4 Mora Garbergs. They aren't the perfect knife for me, but they are close. For what I've paid for them, they are awesome.
4:18 you said the blade looked goofy, well that's what Knasboll literally mean. (Someone who is silly/quirky)
Did you just say they aren't very capable of buttoning because I can tell you that those are absolutely great for buttoning
My kansbol just came today
And i love it!!!
VERY NICE to see a true long time review for once and very complete. I just got a Mora companion and at 74 years old and having been a bowie kid then bowie old man. I like it lot when I was a kid weight was the sign of a good knife but this companion is a rugged and tuff little champion as fare as I am concerned it will all was be in the pack or on the quality of the Mora blade is out standing . As for price it's like for free
Nice video! I own two Mora's.....the Companion HD carbone Mora and the Light My Fire stainless steel Mora. I find that this combination of steels and blade design, make for an excellent mating.......the Companion HD doing the vast bulk of camp chores and the LMF Mora handling fire starting and all food prep. Just don't see the need for an additional Mora......but like so many, I do love them all!!!
Love my Kansbol!
Hi. What you think of the Kansbol leather loop? Doesn't the knife swing around too much when walking?
Your right on point especially with bench made comment so true these knives are well worth the money first one I saw was Cody on dual survival nice video
where are you guys finding the garberg for $60? I haven't seen it for anything less than $80
Drop that Amazon link and I am buying!!! I love my 511 don't need to buy another but probably will.
Finally a commentator with knowledge about the intended use of a knife. I see all this stupid huge channels with ignorant fat couch potatoes batoning Helle knives and calling them poor quality because they broke them while batoning. The knife they broke was the Viking knife made by Helle. It's a replica of a knife found in the grave of a Viking warrior from the 10th-11th century. I am sure Viking carry axes for the job but this assholes just want to hammer the shit out of a piece of history. Thank your for your review I enjoyed it and will be getting my first Mora soon and your review helped with my decision.
Good video. Like you I have used both and generally agree with your comments. I preferred the blade on the Garberg, but the handle on the Kansbol is the best one I have ever used. I agree with your handle comment and for years I’ve used partial and rat tail handles on knives this size without a problem. I sold the Garberg and kept the Kansbol simply because I considered the handle to be a huge upgrade on my treasured Mora Classic 2 and the blade does what I need it to do when combined with my SAK Farmer and a Bahco folding saw. In my perfect world the knife would have the Kansbol handle and the Classic 2 blade.
Kansbol's weird grind allows benefits of a scandi-grind paired with the slicing advantage of a flat grind. It IS odd looking, but it's my hands-down favorite Mora. EXTREMELY versatile.
love your reviews
I prefer a standard Mora with a thinner blade. As stated in the video, the Mora is not intended for heavy abuse so I take mine as part of a two-knife tandem...a Mora for lighter tasks and my Esee 5 for the tougher tasks.
Great video!
Actually, there is a very good reason for the Garberg's full tang contruction: Because people kept asking for a full tang Mora.
Plus it competes with other similar knives (full tang, molded handle, ~4'' blade) like the Fällkniven F1, Cold Steel Master Hunter, Steel Will Druid series, Terävä Jääkäripuukko, Linder Super Edge 1&2 and many more.
Having just that slightly angled part of the front grip instead of a pronounced finger guard the Garberg also brings a different flavor to those knives. It's like the bigger brother of the legendary Mora 510.
After the price came down from >120 EUR to ~70 EUR there is not much to complain about the Garberg anymore. Would I chose it over a Terävä Jääkäripuukko? No, not at all. Those are my preferred choice for hard tasks. But the Garberg is a nice secondary blade or camp knife between your big main knife (BK7/9, Terävä Skrama) and the small blade for fine tasks (Mora 510/511, Companion or a folding knife).
I think the 3.2mm blade thickness puts the Garberg in a nice spot between thinner Companions and those overbuilt chunks of metal like the BK2 or F1. It is a nice alternative to typical Bushcraft knife designs like the Spyderco Bushcraft, Real Steel Bushcraft or Condor Bushlore.
The cool thing about knives is you don't have to pick just one. You can have as many of them as you can afford. I would not pick the Garberg as my only knife if I had to chose one. But I find myself throwing it into my pack quite often.
If you had to choose only one, what would your pick be? And if you limited to under $100?
what made you choose the stainless steel vs the blue titanium coated version?
thanks
Great review.
Perhaps the chaps in Sweden could make a special US version, with names particularly suited for you market. Here are a few suggestions. In stead of Garberg (a place in Sweden) a more appropriate name could be " The Ultra-tac GTX annihilator pro. The stainless version could be the "Bald Eagle liberty edition" and the carbon version could be " Black-Ops Patriot Enforcer"
😂
What knife do u have on ur hip in this video?
Nice review 👍
Its a skinner.. same bladeshape as mora 2000, that is a knife for the military here in Sweden
4:10
they did this grind for skinning deer for fish and of course it’s amazing fo making feathersticks
Bonjour so which one is the best for bushcraft?
Just my thoughts. I have about 10 Mora's and I love them. But the scandi grind is no good for food prep. Can't slice thin meat and vegetables. I thought that is why the konsbol put the flat grind on the tip, for food. But I have not heard that from anyone.
Guys what skrama do you recommend…the 200 or 240 to go along with the mora lansbol?
Two words...Terava Jaakaripuukko!
For those of you who are unaware, the Terava Jaakaripuuko is also known as the Mora Garberg KILLER!
Msilverhammer No... Garberg is stainless...
Blade & Outdoor The Terava Jaakaripuukko is available in Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel, and in different lengths.
I can't get the terava on Amazon in Canada tho
You can purchase it at Varusteleka dot com in Finland.
Make sure that you select the Canadian website version in the upper right hand corner when you navigate there.
Sometimes out of stock due to popularity, but available in stainless and carbon steels, as well as a longer version too.
I love my Terävä Jääkäripuukkos - all of them. Still, I also own a Mora Garberg and find myself quite often using it as a secondary knife for those tasks the JP 140 is a little too big and my smaller camp knife (Companion, 510/511 or folding knife) is a little too "weak" for. Just like all the other 4'' full tang Bushcraft knives (Condor Bushlore, Real Steel Bushcraft, Spyderco Bushcraft).
Can the multi mount sheath use in both knives ?
I agree with you for 100%, great review!!!
There seem to be a few Garber/Kansbol comparison videos. This might not seem fair, since one is almost twice the price of the other. I am happy that the price difference was mentioned. I might be amused to see a Kansbol/2000/Bushcraft Forest comparison, since the blades are all the same any only the handles and sheaths would be reviewed :-)
Great video - thanks for the followup long-term review. Oh, and THANK YOU for not saying "ambi-dextreeus" like so many people do! :-)
"I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous."
I removed the leather loop from my Kansbol and replaced it with a belt clip. The knife, sheath and firestarter kit are so light I can clip it onto sweatpants or swim trunks no problems. I prefer my camp knife to have a clip so I can add or remove it when sitting or sleeping.
How do like the Hultafors ok4 compared to these two knives?
Where do those stack up against the strong arm for you? I bought that one because of the gauntlet reviews btw.
Lmao to the elf forger naming joke
Are the sheaths interchangeable on those 2?
What you think about the leather sheath version of Mora Garberg?
Lol if the Mora had “Benchmade” in it then it would definitely be 170 bucks instead of 70, it would have a phenomenal warranty also..
Regarding the Kansbol grind. The front is for skinning game and food prepping, while the grind near the handle is for carving and wood crafting. So it’s a multipurpose grind.
Would you say the Multi mount sheath is better then the Strong arm sheath?
I have owned and handled many many moras, to me the bushcraft black is the highest price I would ever go. Personally my companion HD is my go to knife and my most recommended mora!
Thanks. I also heard the Kansbol has a grippyer handle that is more comfortable to use. My thoughts with the Kansbol blade is that perhaps its shape is designed so that it saves on some weight? Thanks for this review. I always look forward to your content.
Andrew Nash
It’s for finer tasks, like fileting a fish, skinning and food prep.
Anybody know where to purchase a MOLLE compatible sheath for a "Morakniv Allround Multi-Purpose Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade, 4.0-Inch" that I purchased? I would like to attach it to my BoB. Thanks!
If you like the moras you should try the cold steel fin hawk great little knife.
can someone help me to choose between the KANSBOL and the BUSHCRAFT BLACK ? thx
Love your channel. I live where we don't have many knives to actually pick up and feel to compare so you are one or my go to channels for info. I like Cold Steel for their value and have both the peacekeeper II and III and use the II a lot because of the combination grind on the blade. Have you compared the morakniv kansbol to cold steel peacekeeper? Looks close to the III in dimensions. I was thinking of ordering the kansbol but may have something close enough to do the job in my possession already! A while back I was just looking around youtube for information on the peacekeeper and saw someone put it through the paces it and finally stick it in a stump and bend it side to side close to 90 deg without the blade snapping so ordered it and have really liked it. Thanx again for all the great videos you do!!
Thank you for being a part of the GT family. And I am glad the videos help. I have not compared the two knives. I will have to look into that. 👍
At the end of the the day, the Companion is just as good! :))
totally agree, mines 10 years old and ive worked it so hard, no gimmicks just quality steel.
Not just as good… it is a different design. There are differences.
Does the Garberg for into the Kansbol sheath?
Love the Kansbol for just messing around but when ot comes to the Garberg I'm sticking with my Steel Will Druid
I have the kansbol and they told me at the store is that the blade of the kansbol is designed to filet fish and skin small animals. I have tryed it and the slimmer tip of the blade really helps with that.
I just received my first Mora Garberg... This knife is EPIC !!! Build quality is superior. The one thing I really like about this knife that no other knife has is that it has a short drop at the point allowing this knife to be extra strong. Other knife makers tend to make a false blade on top in taper it an inch back. This knife does not. The taper is less than 5 mm, which gives the knife a whole lot of strength up front. For 70 bucks this is the best knife there is... Morakniv needs to make a longer knife blade with five to six millimeter thickness on the spine. Like a Morakniv Garberg Pro+ Series.
Wouldn't sell in Europe, most people here don't even need the normal garberg. A mora companion combined with a boys axe (hultafors ekelund etc) is much more common, also oversized "pocket swords" are pretty frowned upon
Kansbol
The thinner front of the blade is great for vegetable prep
I like the Kansbol but prefer the Companion sheath belt clip, works for me. A loop is easy to add on but not the other way around.
What about doing a comparison between the Garberg and the gerber strongarm? Or the Kansbol to the Gerber prodigy? Those probably keep similar price points and competitive options. That could be a fun comparison video.
I agree with you about the Kansbol's aesthetics. It does look goofy.
BUT...
If the Zombie (or any other) apocalypse ever happens, there are 3 knives that I would carry, and the Kansbol is one of them.
It's, basically a "Jack of all trades" knife. The Scandi portion is near the handle, because that grind is best for most of the work you'll be doing with the knife (woodwork, cutting cordage, etc.).
But, making fine and accurate cuts us not something the Scandi is made for. Using it for food, especially, is like trying to slice and dice with a sharpened crow bar.
But, the semi-flat grind, at the top portion of the blade, it excels at those tasks.
For a back-uo knife, that you know us good at a few cutting tasks, while most knives excel at only type of task, is a good idea, especially considering the price.
I wish someone would do a video comparing the kansbol and the outdoor 2000...is the handle worth the extra money? is the blade the same or thicker...or what? Anyway, good video...love yer channel!
the thinner tip on the Kansbol is supposed to lend itself to carving...
It's pretty much the same blade, with a brushed metal finish & square spine. I prefer the Kansbol handle. It's slightly thicker than the 2000 & the rubber feels stiffer.
Also I love the dual grind
What I have paired with garberg is OKC SP53 gen 2,
What a team"
The kansbol tang actually goes just past the lanyard hole from the back
Dj May are you sure? Doesn’t seem like it...
