Before you buy a Morakniv Garberg...

- looking for the BEST one-knife solution for camping? bushcraft? backpacking? hunting? I go into a couple of comparably priced comparisons and what you can get for slightly more or less money as well.
Aside from you beeing a knife collector, what do you do with a full-tang knife - constantly cracking cocoanuts with the pommel? What do you do with a quarter-inch-blade - fell a tree or pry open car-doors on a regular basis? Most likely not, but you have to carry around the extra weight all day long and spend more money on them. I'm happy with my Mora Companion, regular and HD, they do everything a big knife can do, except hacking down a tree. Using a saw for that is less energy-consuming and way faster.
BTW: the Mora Garberg was made especially for the american market, cause Americans don't trust knives that are not full-tang, the rest of the world knows, it doesn't matter, your pinky doesn't add that much force to your hand to break the handle of a three-quarter-tang knife.
I bought my Garberg about 7 years ago. I still haven’t used it. I use a HD Companion that has proven to be bullet proof.
I love Morakniv because if I spend over $75 on a knife I will probably never use it. I will always be quick to grab my Moras without fear of damaging them and not being overly worried about the finish. I know I am not alone in this issue.
@themightycrixus1131 not at all! I beat up my moras and buy replacements of the ones I end up liking just because they're so cheap!
I looked your favorites over. I own all of them. You like carbon steel and I don't like rust. The BK-16 has something on the edge. Might be paint or it might be rust. I got the Garburg in stainless. The other two are going to rust. Not everybody values the same things. I loath rust and you seem to be willing to put up with it. Each to their own. God bless and keep everyone.
@@dwightehowell8179 different strokes for different folks, thanks for watching !
The pommel steel on the Garberg can be used to scrape a fire steel. That way, you can sheath the knife while striking fire.
thats an excellent point, thanks for bringing that up!
I own most of the Morakniv. I usually use the Companion or the one with the reduced width blade as kitchen/eating knives but I have owned a nice shiny Garberg since shortly after they came out. I've given a few new to family. I gave stainless because they live in hot and humid Cajun Country. I don't have any issues with them.
I own probably over 400 Mora knives and I don't own all of them.
My favorite knife is a $10 stainless Mora Clipper. It's my favorite multi-purpose knife. If I go out into the woods I'd take a Mora Heavy Duty or Bushcraft over the Garberg. I agree that the Garberg's handle is basically dangerous.
The clipper is great for only 10 bucks, its a crazy deal, the heavy duty companion goes on sale for like $10-12 on amazon sometimes too. Thanks for watching!
Just uploaded my Mora Clipper video. It has sprinkles on it 🤣
I had no idea the Clipper came in stainless. I had only found carbon versions.
Just checked out your video. The blade says carbon steel. That's the 2mm or 0.08" thickness. It does fine carving and notching better than the thick 3.2mm models. The stainless models are usually 2.5mm or 0.10".
@@martinhafner2201 There is a clipper that is ss it is made my mora but sold under the name boca…..Home depot use to have them I haven’t seen them for a good while I should have grabbed one when they were available…..
@@theprestriedge4657 You're right. Its Bacho 2444. There's still a few floating around out there, but not for long.
The Kansbol is about 3.6 ounces and the Garberg is about 6.1 ounces. Without the sheaths. The HD Companion is 3.2 mm thick and the Kansbol is 2.5mm. The regular Companion in carbon steel is 2 mm thick and 2.7 ounces.
The thinner blades do notch and featherstick much better, so there is a cost to going heavy.
Mora is second to none..
The Condor Wayfinder is a nice upgrade to the Bushlore for about $15 extra. It is a little larger and is in 1095 steel instead of 1075.
Thats one im not farmiliar with personally! I do love me some 1095, so ill have to take a look at that one. Thanks for the info!
Mora 2000 is the standard knife in the Swedish armed forces since 30 years.
A great all round knife 👍🏻
I carry two knives, one for woodwork and one for cocking.
I also have a small axe for cutting firewood.
During hunting I usually bring my EKA swing blade for processing animals.
You use a knife for cocking? Sounds painful.
You sure it's not the Fällkniven f1? The Swedish air force definitely use it but there's information online that suggests their Army use it too
You need to look at the instructions for that sheath !
Good review but the true test and review is when you get out and actually use them.
Agreed, i have several uploads pending of reviews like this and i'll be doing some follow ups of bushcrafty/camping use in the future
Last couple of years?! Its been available for a lot longer than that.
...and don't buy from Amazon, by from small American owned companies like Ragweed forge. Great selection of Morakniv and many other Nordic brands, plus they do a veteran discount and they are a company you can build a relationship with as a customer...or just continue to stick more money into jeff bezo's pockets
So that kansbol and thr garberg DO NOT have the same handel material, the kansbol has an overmolded rubber on top of the plastic and the plastic on the garberg is a ballistic plastic that's far harder than the other Plastics they use on their other knives this is something you can go on the Mora website. I make knives and order blade from Mora through a distributor in the US and they have told me a great deal about a lot of their knives. The garberg is far tougher than the rest of knives they make all the material is more premium. I'm not saying the other knives aren't amazing but the garberg was made to be the toughest knife that they sell.
For what esee cost nowadays you might as well jus get a lt wright they are beautiful knives once you get one in hand you'll understand great video by the way 👍🤙
@mikefox7947 they definitely have gone up a fair bit over the years I agree. I think the s35 are priced decently compared to some brands like Benchmade that try to sell their bushcrafter for nearly double the esee, And that thing is riddled with hotspots.
But LT Wright does have some excellent high quality knives. I just have tons of less expensive knives at the sub 150 price range and that tends to be where LT starts
I'll put some videos up in the future of them!
It sells for $200 in Australia. There are better knives for this price.
@lesarr8606 200!?!?!?
Oh wow, there are definitely way better options. I'm much better steels with nicer handles for the money
I'll make some videos on it in the near future
Stop with the garbage. Tops and Esee cost a heck of a lot more and they _RUST_. I can see it on your knives. You obviously aren't keeping them cleaned and oiled.
Your knives look like new. Are you use it or only collect them?
@noname-wt3zw both. The Moras in particular are cheap to replace so I have copies of the ones I use. I also tend to outfit my groups that go out for trips.
I think the Garberg is over priced. There’s plenty of better knives made with better materials for the same price or less, it’s not a bad knife, just way overpriced for what you get. All mora’s top of the line stuff is too expensive. All of their lower end stuff is all well worth the money.
Man it’s years maybe even decades experienced knowledgeable people are making great educative in depth reviews in real survival, hunting, camping, bushcraft situations. Specially on these very knives. Now you arrived with brand spanking new Moras to explain them for folks? I mean really?
@@DaryooshF.Sh.P-vq6mu Moras are incredibly inexpensive and easy to purchase duplicates. I collect as well as use. I record the nicer looking ones for aestetic recording purposes
Thanks for watching
@@TheReviewPigeon I’m a Mora collector and even somehow fan boy too. Good luck and cheers 🍻🔪
