Facts! I have two of these , one is still in the packaging, because the first one won't die lol. If you get a chance , check out the martinni knife as well. Same idea, made in finnland and just beautiful. It's my other go to, same price range , it's just a beautiful blade altogether and proforms just like the mora. Do you need it, nope, will you want it, yup lol.
I 'use' a stainless one, and i also have a carbon one in its box just for the apocalypse. I like to have all bases covered. Or it's just OCD. Time will tell. @beentheredonethat5908
I've had mine for 1 year now, most used, n loved over all my other knives except for my s.r.k., but the s.r.k. is my go to survival tool, n a gift from my late friend b4 they passed away, so it's sentimental as well.
My first experience with Mora knives was in Malaysia 6 years ago learning Jungle camping and bushcraft. A simple Mora companion and a locally made Parang were outstanding tools in the Jungle. Back home now I recently bought a Garburg and I am pleased with it. The economy, quality and usefulness is worth your time and money.
I agree 100% on your evaluation. I’ve been using mine for 8 months primarily around the farm and it’s been used and abused. I just resharpened mine and it only took about 15 minutes and is razor sharp. Your video reminded me to order another for my kit. Thanks again.
Great review! I would also choose the carbon Garberg. As you did I first purchased the stainless version, but after Morakniv came out with the carbon version I bought that one as well. If I’m only out fishing or hunting near my home I usually bring a Kansbol or my Ahti Korpi. The last one mostly because I like a wooden handle. I’m an officer in the army in Sweden, when I went through my training and education in survival I used the Mora 2000. At that time Morakniv didn’t have the new line with Garberg, Kansbol or Eldris. My experience and previous skills as a hunter/fisherman told me that Mora knives was and still is a good knife for any serious outdoors activities. In Sweden the Mora knives is so common that almost every household owns at least one knife from their line up. Because of their price many in Scandinavia take them a little for granted. But they are really good at performing. I appreciated that you brought up that with the right technique you can use a knife in a various of applications. In Scandinavia, most of the people that are practicing outdoor activities, also bring a small or medium sized axes or a folding saw. Like the Bahco Laplander. Thanks for a great vid and sharing your knowledge!
Since deciding to get my first bushcraft/survival knife I spent more than a year researching and looking at so many knives, I can’t believe how many there are out there. In the end I chose the Mora Garberg carbon with the leather holster just a coupe of months ago. So far so good.
@@folksurvival unfortunately I haven’t been able to give it much use because I’ve been trapped as my Mums career who has dementia with little chance of a break. When I first bought the knife it looked like a sister was going to take over and I’d be free but that didn’t happen. Anyway I have small hands and it feels great in the hand and since I bought it I also got the Mora companion HD carbon which is a lot cheaper and I reckon it’s better for fine work like making fire sticks and general wood carving. I also have the Condor bush craft machete and have formed an opinion which is that the Garberg is not a bad option and not bad value for money but it’s kind of a cross between a bush craft knife and a survival knife while the bush craft parang is a better survival option and the Mora Companion would be useful in survival also but maybe not as good as the Garberg but there’s not a lot of difference. Therefore If you want to save yourself some money you might be better off buying the Mora companion HD for a quarter of the price of the Garberg and have some money left over for the Condor bush craft parang. The only problem with this option is that there would be places where you wouldn’t want to carry the parang because it’s a bit intimidating compared to a Garberg and then there is also knife laws in some countries that would make it a bit inconvenient.
@@nellard9962 Gday, Mums ok thanks. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get away in the bush since my comment so I haven’t used it much. Around home when I need a knife I tend to grab my HD Companion because of the sheath as it’s a great design and I don’t need to feed a loop through my belt.
I’m still perfectly happy with my mora companion. It has seen several years of use and it remains my go to knife. Even if I lose it or lend it out I’m only out $15.
I purchased mine before watching this particular video. I also made the decision to get it with the leather sheath. I went and got a dangler from Casstrom, for 20 some odd bucks as well. I have zero doubts I'll be anything but thrilled with this knife. Great video as well. UPDATE: Knife performs beyond expectations. I've had it with me in the woods multiple times now and it excels in every task I've thrown its way. 9/10 only cause it didn't come with a dangler option.
I have one Mora black that is carbon steel . I also have 3 Chinese mora looking stainless steel cheapos that i bought at Wally world for teaching bushcrafting to kids . I have three "old hickory " bucher knives that I use a lot for bushcraft . But i will have to say my favorite knife is which one is the sharpest today . I play no favorites here.
quality, practical, bite sized information. no BS. i wish more folks wouldn’t ramble on. given your background (thank you for your service, sincerely) and use of xyz product, you give us sound and useable info. thanks again josh.
I put stainless garbergs in my vehicles and take a high carbon out in the field. I never want to be without access to this knife. Excellent build and performance.
I've had the stainless Garberg for a couple of years now and I think it is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. As you mentioned, the value for money would be a major factor in the decision to buy. I shopped around for a few weeks before buying. Some of the videos that supposedly support this product aren't really doing it any justice. Another thing that I like about this knife that could appealing for many other buyers is how it feels in the hand. As soon as I gripped the handle my hands told me this was the knife for them. If my hands don't like it then I probably won't either, since they are the ones that bear the brunt of the forces applied to the edge. Speaking of edge, under normal use I am impressed how well it keeps it's edge partly due to the Scandi grind. The drawback to the stainless steel is that it can be time-consuming to get a good edge back on the blade if there's been some heavy, unconventional use. It's a give/take scenario.
I've been using the Mora Kansbol for the last 2 years as my outdoor belt knife. I've used it from processing wood, to filleting fish, and I even processed an entire deer last year with it. Great knife and the price point is unbeatable. But, I do believe I'll have to get my hands on a carbon Garberg. There's just added comfort in knowing the knife is full tang. Great video!
Just got this for hiking the CDT this year. I’ll be on the trail for 6 months. Many hikers don’t carry a knife, let alone one like the Garberg. I feel to be responsible and not need to borrow someone else’s knife I need my own. For food prep, cutting cordage, fire prep, and other things. Handy tool and I think a “must have” on a hike.
I’ve been working on learning bush crafting and building a survival kit, I picked up the Mora companion from your video on the best knives of 2018. Such an amazing knife at that price point. I recently upgraded to this one. Absolutely love this knife! Easily my current favorite one.
Eight months ago you recommended this Garberg and I bought one. Eight months later the Garberg is still my first choice when going to the field. It is exactly as you say Josh, it does everything I need it to do and does it well. Because of that fact, I can say this knife made me better in the field by allowing me to successfully accomplish new tasks and projects better than the knives I had been using. They were good BK knives, solid, sharp, not knocking them one bit. But the Garberg is superior in every category. And the spine, man, for me it was a game-changer. It’s a great knife. Great job Josh, congratulations for all your successes over these last several months. Thanks for the hard work.
I looked at alot of knives and for hunting..camping fishing bushcraft and survival..this k ife covers all the checks!!!its strong and good cutter and easy to sharpen!!
Wasn't so good at Stamford bridge though was it. Or against Alfred the great and their merciful victory. A victory that could have beheaded the heathen army and massacred the men they had left and even after all the crimes they'd left the length of the country Alfred offered them their lives and told them who they had to thank for that. So viking steel did win either of those days and was basically only on top when it came to superior numbers usually against civilian or clerical targets..in mass battles they very often lose. In they were in any way matched in numbers. I'd put my money on 10 ,000 anglo saxons over 10,000 vikings in an open field every time. The vikings success was not due to their steel it was due to their boats that could travel across rough seas to Britain and were then able to penetrate deep into the country via their river ways. It was the vikings boats, not steel, that produced the 'early' viking hit-and-run successes. The best steel then was said to come from the middle east, like Damascus steel, which we are now almost certain was just pattern welded steel. So I wouldn't read too much into the steel/Sweden thing.
Well for one thing, first of all im not crying. I'm a 51 year old man who has seen things that would make your eyes bleed and doesn't cry over silly comments, in fact doesn't cry period. And i did so because YOU made out vikings were some sort of master blacksmiths, despite Britain being involved in the bronze age trade (thus metallurgy), where 95% of all the tin they used in the bronze age came from, centuries before vikings was ever a word. and where they made steel as good as anywhere in europe, where drop forged hammers were invented, rolling steel, crucible steel, along with stainless steel and mass producing steel. Ever heard of Sheffield? And as you mentioned Vikings being all 'legendary' i think it was only fair to point out who put the the nail in that coffin, after they took on another army of men and not villages of civilians or priests. But hey, you don't have to cry about it 'anders'. It's not like im trying to say you have sort of bias in this. Btw one day you'll have to grow out of this 'what, someone replied, that person must be crying at my devastating comment. Just some advice Odin. @andersbacklund6224
@@Darrenski dunno you seem preeetty butthurt to me. And it sounds like you might have a "bias" aswell, 'darren'. The fact is; swedish steel is good and has been for a very long time. To point out that you are "51 years old and have seen things that would make your eyes bleed" shows how little you seem to understand. You know nothing of me or what ive seen. Thanks for the history lesson but Swedish steel is known across the world for its high quality. So you havent disproven me in any way. Keep on ranting if you will. But im ending this discussion from my part.
Thanks for your review Josh. I have purchased stainless versions for each vehicle I own. I have also purchased 12 of these for family and friends for gifts that should last a life time. Everyone loves this knife. Most will never use it like you do but to know they have that option is a great comfort to me. My selling point to friend is this - are you really going to baton your $225 benchmade knife? The Garberg is a sub-$100 knife that is a work horse that isn’t a closet queen. They always agree.
I love my Cold Steel Recon Scout w/high carbon steel. I've owned this knife now for 16 years now and it has always been my "Go to" knife for any and every chore needed for such a knife itself. Needless to say,the Mora Garberg is most likely going to be my next knife purchase after reading the great ratings it has received. Thank you.
@@Ben-rr1pe That particular Cold Steel knife was given to me '00-'01 plus a small box of pocket knives with maybe 10 of those. Nothing to brag about but free is free at in that case. He had also given to me a Coleman Stove that is mid to late 70's model that only needed the gas lines & burners replaced. I already had 2 of them already but I couldn't just let him trash dump it knowing it likely only needed the gas lines and burners replaced in which they did. But the Cold Steel Recon,I hadn't a clue of what I had nor did he. Lol No numbers or anything stating the type of Steel it was made from or even a name brand on it. I have other Cold Steel knives and happened to be looking through a CS catalog and seen the similarities in their most recent make. I called a CS rep,sent a pic of it via email and it was confirmed to be an older Recon Scout. Very solid and reliable knife if you spend a lot of time outdoors camping,hunting or fishing. Sorry to hear you lost yours! Have a great day and God Bless.
@@sivispacemparabellum4873 thought about getting another one, but back then Cold Steel was getting higher quality steel than what they are getting now from china. So i sont think it'd be the same
@@Ben-rr1pe you stand correct no doubt! I have a late '90's CS AK47 pocket knife and yrs later bought another one and it doesn't even come close to the same quality/toughness of my 1st.
I have the Mora Companion and the Mora Basic. Both knives are very inexpensive. I recommend them to my Boy Scouts in my Troop. The sheath these knives come with is not my favorite but the knives have outstanding performance. And both of those Mora knives can be purchased for under $20.00 !!!!!
Was considering the Gerberg too, but then was thinking if something like a Companion wouldn't do the same... Probably. Even for batoning you don't need full tang. When you do your techniques right and maintain a knife like Mora Companion well, it does all you need. Especially for those 6x per year I will use it. You can buy everything top of the line but it usually isn't necessary and it's best to have a tool that works, especially for beginners. When you gain experience and know about steels and heat treatments and get experience along the way in the field you can consider different steels and design your own knifes which in my opinion has a lot more sentimental and emotional value. Just make your own knife from a file for example. You will enjoy working with it so much more than when simply get a mass production one of Amazon
100% agree. I've had mine for 15 months and have used it a lot. I love this knife. I especially like the exposed tang. It works great for shaving off fuzz from fat wood to get a fire started. Thank you for all your videos. Great content.
Can only choose one knife. KA-BAR BK2. Beast of a knife strong but can be used for fine work. Fits a big hand takes a fine edge and lifetime warranty. Only draw back need to get a different stealth. Had it for two years and used it hard. Still in great shape. Plus only 79 dollars. New generation BK22 has better stealth. Like you stuff GB keep it coming.
Just got a Condor Terrasaur which is very similar to the Mora and shares many of the same features. I really like it so far. Right out of the box I cut some inch multi line I was splicing. Throws good spark and worked though a try stick like a champ. I also really like my kukri from Nepal. I have carried it for years. It's amazing how versatile that blade really is.
I think.for hunting ..fishing..camping..bushcraft..this knife does it all..good cutter..easy to sharpen...suoer strong and durable...easy to sharpen!!!
The best knife is the one in my hand or the one I can afford...lol. Seriously, I agree with you. Mora is the best bang for your buck. I’m not a professional though. That’s why I watch your videos. Thank you for teaching us and giving us confidence to get outdoors.
I just broke my K-BAR (u.s.m.c.) full size splitting wood with a hammer rushing to make a FIRE.😤😤 I've had that knife 20+yrs. The hammer won.thanks for your service an stay healthy.
Had the carbon and stainless Mora. Living here in Thailand the carbon became rusty very quickly my stainless still going strong. Maybe I was not careful enough with the carbon one, did not look after it very well but the stainless here in the tropics needs less maintenance, again could be just me not being carefu, great knife love my stainless Mora.
Thanks for another great video. I have been using my bk10 for 6 years. I did modify it by removing the coating, micarta handles, ground off the thumb ramp and flattened the spine. I lately been trying out a bk16 I got as a gift. This review does bring some interest. God bless and stay safe.
I use the Mora Robust and I have sharpened the back to make it 90 degree angle to use it as a striker. It is solid and it works great. I also carry a Mora Eldris as a backup knife. The Mora Eldris already comes with a nice 90 degree sharp back.
I bought this exact knife. I love it. The knife is solid for anything I am going to do with it. I’ve had mine for just over a year now, and have only just had to sharpen it for the first time last month. I bought a nice set of water stones and have it sharpened better than what it was brand new. It’s not a razor sharp, but it is very sharp. For some reason I can’t get it to its full potential. I would definitely buy this knife again if I had to and I do recommend it
I grew up on buck,k-bar & case. All very economical & dependable.folders & fixed blade. Never used a mora,but am not opposed to it. 60 years old now and been slicing my fingers for decades. End results are if it works use it
I have been following your channel as of late and really appreciate your style of delivery. Your straight forward, informative, unbiased, easy going presentation is quite effective and enjoyable to learn from. I being an ex military vet, tend to gravitate toward ex military type personel, when it comes from field, real world, practical experienced person like yourself. I have had the pleasure of working alongside other Special Forces soldiers some years ago while on active duty. To a man, all seem to have an unique and excellent communicative skill set. Thank you for what you do here in educating people and lastly thank you sir for your service to our country.
Following you from Costa Rica. I will travel to Slovakia next month and I will get a Morakniv -Garberg- in Bratislava. Sweden is universally known for its high-quality steel. Thanks for this and many other videos.
I'll be honest, when it comes to knives a very good friend of mine that went to college with me always liked these knives and this company. With that being said I had a USMC style Ka-Bar that served me well from the time I was 13 until it got stolen when I was 22. That knife was the best ranch/field/ hunting knife I ever used
Be honest kody, your very good friend you went to college with liked mora.( his friend liked Mora everyone) so he’s going to tell us about his usmc knife?
I own a Mora garberg in stainless steel, it is my favorite knives especially for bushcraft. But if I could only pick on knife it would be my Mora Kansbol. Because of its thinner blade and duel grind it is much better as a food prep knife, and could easily be an amazing hunting knife but at the same time can do almost everything the garberg can.
Great job brother. One of the best reviews I've seen. You are sincere and I believe trustworthy. I have two Mora knives. The basic with a bright orange handle and my son bought me a Mora Light My Fire knife which I dearly love. That one is my go to knife. I also carry a Gerber Strongarm. That is my heavy duty knife. Nearly indestructible. In my pocket is my Victorinox SAK " Officer ". Those will take care of anything I've needed so far. I do like the Garberg. Thanks for sharing pal.
You were right. Ultimate knive and a typical scandinavian look. The leather sheath is beautifull. Low price, big quality. Feels tough en looks damn good. Thx!
I bought this knife couple weeks ago, took it to the mountains out here in California this weekend on a backpack scouting trip for deer hunting this year. This knife worked awesome, money well spent. Practiced a few things out there when time allowed and the mosquitoes would leave us alone, lol... Great knife all around and did everything I needed to do with it.. going to buy one for some Xmas gifts this year.
I have the 110. It's an even more affordable option. The leather sheath has a plastic retainer in it as well. From what I understand the metal is softer and will require more maintenance, but a small price to pay to pay a small price.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I really like the knife but wish they didn't put the micro bevel on it, that's the only thing I changed. The optional leather sheath is vary well made.
Jayson Jones I’ll give it a good run. Puukko is my personal preferred style. I prefer wood handles but not everyone does. I eventually get all my blades secondary bevels work off through use and stropping over time. I don’t like those personally either
First and foremost id like to thank you for your service, as both of my cousins are/were in the military which puts the suggestions and opinions of soldiers at the utmost respect in my book! I absolutely love your videos not only because i know i can trust what you are saying, but also because of how you handle the comment section with the ignorant people that have nothing better to do than question your opinions on subjects that you fought for their ability to have freedom of speech for! Instead of looking at these videos like they were meant to be viewed as informational videos that can help a person decide on a single knife without having to go through the long time of trial and error with multiple knives, they sit there and critique a veteran thats simply trying to help them! Its pathetic! Support your damn veterans instead of trying to tear them down! Thanks again and keep the videos coming! GBGB !!!
Thanks Levi! I appreciate that. I will admit that many challenge my patience, but I try and look at it as an opportunity to be patient. Some I do a better job than others. Some folks just gotta go.
Thanks for the super honest review without bullshit. I see many video's with people smashing knives against rocks etc. But just a plain honest review like this from someone that knows what he is saying is super. Just ordered my Mora garberg carbon because of this video. Just wanted to say that after many years of dreaming about bushcraft after i left the army i Just decided to enter a course all because of youre video's and that of David Canterbury. Thanks for that motivation. I seems nothing but for me it is. 👍 Keep on going
Well I'm going to disappoint you. My very first knives was a Mora. An been in love with them ever since. My first one was given to me by my grandfather back in the 70s. So I guess I'm telling my age. An have given them to my kids as a first knife. Now it's the grandkids time to get one. Keep up the great information!!
Great vid!!! Corp. Kelly sent me here. Glad to find the channel. Just got a mora bushcraft black seems to be a great knife. New to bushcraft, excited to learn!!! Love all you guys at SRO/pathfinder!!!! Thanks again!
I’ve been wanting to pick one up...seen nothing but good reviews and I actually started with the companion and I beat the hell out of it lol..my son has been collecting since he was 7 (15 now) he asked me for one as well..he’s finally out of the fantasy knife phase and is learning about the value of a good knife so thank you!!
I started with carbon and I agree with you. But I personally have a carbon kukri with a hudge spine, as well as matches, bics. Even though I was a carbon person based on experience I have settled on the CRKT M21-04G for a folder and the Gerber strong-arm for a fixed. Extremely impressed with both. Have owned mora, Benchmade, sog, Ontario, kizlyar Supreme and many more.
When somebody's opinion or experience is different from yours, you try to ask questions to understand where they are coming from? If you get nothing from this video besides that point... you have learned how to do something better than before. Great video as always.
Great knife. I used it many times in the field for inland SAR, it’s great for striking fero rods and making tinder. It’s also razor sharp out the box it’s still sharp to this day I’ve had it now for a year.
I do value your knowledge and you experience. I have not personally used the Mora brand of knifes. I have used and deployed with the ESEE 4. The only draw back to the ESEE 4. Is there is no 90 degree spine but I was able to put one on the spine with some work. Great info.
@TheLawDemon I happen to have the 4, 3. Izula, and the had the Candaru. I gave the Candaru to the Cigar club back in country for a raffle. I do have a couple Mora blades but the are in get home bags because they were in subcription boxes. I just never played with them. Just stuck to what I am comfortable with, which is the 4.
@TheLawDemon the izula is a great support knife for fish. That is what I have in my tackle box. I use my 4 for field problems with the Army, bushcraft, and camping with the family. My 3 is my is in my get home bag. The Candaru I bought as an impulse. My wife was pissed.
My Carbon Garberg still rules to this day and I’ve been using it since it came out in stainless first. I own HIGH end knives and I still go to my Garberg.
Just understand that the Kbar is not a real field knife; more a issue combat knife. The Garburg is designed for field applications. I have a 2 generation Marine Kbar that both my dad and I carried. I don't use it for common carry field use.
After reading my post, the Kbar is frequently used for a lot uses such as opening cans, pounding things, etc but it was designed as a general issue combat knife.
I have a bunch of knives, some I bought specifically for "survival". I find myself grabbing one of my Mora hd companions anytime I have to actually use a knife. I guess that means it's my favorite. To be honest, I think the sheath is half of the reason. I know people generally don't like them, but being able to clip it on and off to anything I'm wearing is a big plus. It's not a "survival" blade, but if I was ever caught with my pants down, it's more than likely the one I grabbed when I left.
Just received my silky gomboy that you suggested. I amazed at how effortlessly it cuts. I was also debating on whether to get the garberg or the bushcraft mora with the ferro rod. I think you've just helped me make up my mind on that. I'm also considering the pathfiner nesting cup.combo. While i appreciate the help with the decisions, your also gonna get me in trouble with the wife for buying all this stuff!! Lol 😆
Loved the review. I am a big fan of my Mora BCB. I will one day get the carbon Garberg for sure. If I had to pick one knife, I think it would have to be my Ontario Rat 7. It is too versatile and leaves me with a very solid knife. If I could have one knife and an hatchet, then I would probably choose my Mora BCB. Thanks for the great review.
I love mora knives. I've carrier the same mora bushcraft knife on me for about a decade now. Does everything I need it to do, and it's never let me down.
This is best knife I’ve ever had. No need to upgrade nor down grade. This is the knife for me.
Facts! I have two of these , one is still in the packaging, because the first one won't die lol.
If you get a chance , check out the martinni knife as well. Same idea, made in finnland and just beautiful. It's my other go to, same price range , it's just a beautiful blade altogether and proforms just like the mora. Do you need it, nope, will you want it, yup lol.
I 'use' a stainless one, and i also have a carbon one in its box just for the apocalypse. I like to have all bases covered. Or it's just OCD. Time will tell. @beentheredonethat5908

Back home now I recently bought a Garburg and I am pleased with it. The economy, quality and usefulness is worth your time and money.

Well reviewed. No nonsense, straight to the point. Realistic explanation of real techniques and tasks.
Since deciding to get my first bushcraft/survival knife I spent more than a year researching and looking at so many knives, I can’t believe how many there are out there. In the end I chose the Mora Garberg carbon with the leather holster just a coupe of months ago. So far so good.
How is it two years later?

I’m still perfectly happy with my mora companion. It has seen several years of use and it remains my go to knife. Even if I lose it or lend it out I’m only out $15.
I purchased mine before watching this particular video. I also made the decision to get it with the leather sheath. I went and got a dangler from Casstrom, for 20 some odd bucks as well. I have zero doubts I'll be anything but thrilled with this knife. Great video as well.
UPDATE: Knife performs beyond expectations. I've had it with me in the woods multiple times now and it excels in every task I've thrown its way. 9/10 only cause it didn't come with a dangler option.
Finally got to use mine this last weekend. Worked great. Feather stick, clearing brush, ferro rod and as a steak knife. Love it so far.
You are the reason I bought this knife. I have not been disappointed. Thanks for recommending this knife. I trust your advice.
The most complete and common sense video I've ever seen !
Thanks Gary! I do reviews a bit differently 😂
I have one Mora black that is carbon steel . I also have 3 Chinese mora looking stainless steel cheapos that i bought at Wally world for teaching bushcrafting to kids . I have three "old hickory " bucher knives that I use a lot for bushcraft . But i will have to say my favorite knife is which one is the sharpest today . I play no favorites here.
@@garyminick1050 I do love me some Old Hickory knives
quality, practical, bite sized information. no BS. i wish more folks wouldn’t ramble on. given your background (thank you for your service, sincerely) and use of xyz product, you give us sound and useable info. thanks again josh.
I have 2 of them and 1 I've had almost 2 years. I love them! Cheap, durable, and pretty comfy
I put stainless garbergs in my vehicles and take a high carbon out in the field. I never want to be without access to this knife. Excellent build and performance.
I'd agree with the views on this fabulous knife. I've had mine for 4 years and it is as good as new.
I've had the stainless Garberg for a couple of years now and I think it is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. As you mentioned, the value for money would be a major factor in the decision to buy. I shopped around for a few weeks before buying. Some of the videos that supposedly support this product aren't really doing it any justice.
Another thing that I like about this knife that could appealing for many other buyers is how it feels in the hand. As soon as I gripped the handle my hands told me this was the knife for them. If my hands don't like it then I probably won't either, since they are the ones that bear the brunt of the forces applied to the edge. Speaking of edge, under normal use I am impressed how well it keeps it's edge partly due to the Scandi grind. The drawback to the stainless steel is that it can be time-consuming to get a good edge back on the blade if there's been some heavy, unconventional use. It's a give/take scenario.
I have had this knife for 3+ yrs. Never a problem. It is my carry knife all the time any place i go. And thank you for your service brother.
I've been using the Mora Kansbol for the last 2 years as my outdoor belt knife. I've used it from processing wood, to filleting fish, and I even processed an entire deer last year with it. Great knife and the price point is unbeatable. But, I do believe I'll have to get my hands on a carbon Garberg. There's just added comfort in knowing the knife is full tang. Great video!
Just got this for hiking the CDT this year. I’ll be on the trail for 6 months. Many hikers don’t carry a knife, let alone one like the Garberg. I feel to be responsible and not need to borrow someone else’s knife I need my own. For food prep, cutting cordage, fire prep, and other things. Handy tool and I think a “must have” on a hike.
I’ve been working on learning bush crafting and building a survival kit, I picked up the Mora companion from your video on the best knives of 2018. Such an amazing knife at that price point. I recently upgraded to this one. Absolutely love this knife! Easily my current favorite one.
Eight months ago you recommended this Garberg and I bought one. Eight months later the Garberg is still my first choice when going to the field. It is exactly as you say Josh, it does everything I need it to do and does it well. Because of that fact, I can say this knife made me better in the field by allowing me to successfully accomplish new tasks and projects better than the knives I had been using. They were good BK knives, solid, sharp, not knocking them one bit. But the Garberg is superior in every category. And the spine, man, for me it was a game-changer. It’s a great knife. Great job Josh, congratulations for all your successes over these last several months. Thanks for the hard work.
I get a darned good feeling just watching and listening to you - you are one calming, centered dude. I'm sold on the Carbon Garberg.
I looked at alot of knives and for hunting..camping fishing bushcraft and survival..this k ife covers all the checks!!!its strong and good cutter and easy to sharpen!!
I like the way you make it clear that it is your opinion based on EXTENSIVE use. It is an excellent knife at a very fair price.
Fella, you must write a book! Excellent knowledge, simply delivered.
I did, it’s releasing July. Pre-order on Amazon right now
Swedish steel has been legendary since viking times. It still is!
Wasn't so good at Stamford bridge though was it. Or against Alfred the great and their merciful victory. A victory that could have beheaded the heathen army and massacred the men they had left and even after all the crimes they'd left the length of the country Alfred offered them their lives and told them who they had to thank for that. So viking steel did win either of those days and was basically only on top when it came to superior numbers usually against civilian or clerical targets..in mass battles they very often lose. In they were in any way matched in numbers. I'd put my money on 10 ,000 anglo saxons over 10,000 vikings in an open field every time. The vikings success was not due to their steel it was due to their boats that could travel across rough seas to Britain and were then able to penetrate deep into the country via their river ways. It was the vikings boats, not steel, that produced the 'early' viking hit-and-run successes. The best steel then was said to come from the middle east, like Damascus steel, which we are now almost certain was just pattern welded steel. So I wouldn't read too much into the steel/Sweden thing.
Why are you crying about stuff that happened 1000 years ago? My comment still stands.
Well for one thing, first of all im not crying. I'm a 51 year old man who has seen things that would make your eyes bleed and doesn't cry over silly comments, in fact doesn't cry period. And i did so because YOU made out vikings were some sort of master blacksmiths, despite Britain being involved in the bronze age trade (thus metallurgy), where 95% of all the tin they used in the bronze age came from, centuries before vikings was ever a word. and where they made steel as good as anywhere in europe, where drop forged hammers were invented, rolling steel, crucible steel, along with stainless steel and mass producing steel. Ever heard of Sheffield? And as you mentioned Vikings being all 'legendary' i think it was only fair to point out who put the the nail in that coffin, after they took on another army of men and not villages of civilians or priests. But hey, you don't have to cry about it 'anders'. It's not like im trying to say you have sort of bias in this. Btw one day you'll have to grow out of this 'what, someone replied, that person must be crying at my devastating comment. Just some advice Odin. @andersbacklund6224
@@andersbacklund6224yes. My comment still stands as well
@@Darrenski dunno you seem preeetty butthurt to me. And it sounds like you might have a "bias" aswell, 'darren'. The fact is; swedish steel is good and has been for a very long time. To point out that you are "51 years old and have seen things that would make your eyes bleed" shows how little you seem to understand. You know nothing of me or what ive seen.
Thanks for the history lesson but Swedish steel is known across the world for its high quality. So you havent disproven me in any way. Keep on ranting if you will. But im ending this discussion from my part.
Thanks for your review Josh. I have purchased stainless versions for each vehicle I own. I have also purchased 12 of these for family and friends for gifts that should last a life time. Everyone loves this knife. Most will never use it like you do but to know they have that option is a great comfort to me. My selling point to friend is this - are you really going to baton your $225 benchmade knife? The Garberg is a sub-$100 knife that is a work horse that isn’t a closet queen. They always agree.
I love Mora. I have 6 different so far and now getting this one. Great review. Keep up the great work sir.
Love when the focus changes onto the trees behind you and makes them pop
I love my Cold Steel Recon Scout w/high carbon steel. I've owned this knife now for 16 years now and it has always been my "Go to" knife for any and every chore needed for such a knife itself. Needless to say,the Mora Garberg is most likely going to be my next knife purchase after reading the great ratings it has received. Thank you.
Love that knife had one since 2009 sadly lost it recently 😢 during a move.
@@Ben-rr1pe That particular Cold Steel knife was given to me '00-'01 plus a small box of pocket knives with maybe 10 of those. Nothing to brag about but free is free at in that case. He had also given to me a Coleman Stove that is mid to late 70's model that only needed the gas lines & burners replaced. I already had 2 of them already but I couldn't just let him trash dump it knowing it likely only needed the gas lines and burners replaced in which they did. But the Cold Steel Recon,I hadn't a clue of what I had nor did he. Lol No numbers or anything stating the type of Steel it was made from or even a name brand on it. I have other Cold Steel knives and happened to be looking through a CS catalog and seen the similarities in their most recent make. I called a CS rep,sent a pic of it via email and it was confirmed to be an older Recon Scout. Very solid and reliable knife if you spend a lot of time outdoors camping,hunting or fishing. Sorry to hear you lost yours! Have a great day and God Bless.
@@sivispacemparabellum4873 thought about getting another one, but back then Cold Steel was getting higher quality steel than what they are getting now from china. So i sont think it'd be the same
@@Ben-rr1pe you stand correct no doubt! I have a late '90's CS AK47 pocket knife and yrs later bought another one and it doesn't even come close to the same quality/toughness of my 1st.
Your channel is always reliable for great information. No bull shit, just good solid in the field information. Thanks!
I have the Mora Companion and the Mora Basic.
Both knives are very inexpensive. I recommend them to my Boy Scouts in my Troop. The sheath these knives come with is not my favorite but the knives have outstanding performance.
And both of those Mora knives can be purchased for under $20.00 !!!!!
Was considering the Gerberg too, but then was thinking if something like a Companion wouldn't do the same... Probably. Even for batoning you don't need full tang. When you do your techniques right and maintain a knife like Mora Companion well, it does all you need. Especially for those 6x per year I will use it. You can buy everything top of the line but it usually isn't necessary and it's best to have a tool that works, especially for beginners. When you gain experience and know about steels and heat treatments and get experience along the way in the field you can consider different steels and design your own knifes which in my opinion has a lot more sentimental and emotional value. Just make your own knife from a file for example. You will enjoy working with it so much more than when simply get a mass production one of Amazon
the boy scouts have some great gear.. that would do any of us good. !
I have a companion HD and have no complaints.
@@Dillion203 hey Dillon, do you know if the hd is full tang?
100% agree. I've had mine for 15 months and have used it a lot. I love this knife. I especially like the exposed tang. It works great for shaving off fuzz from fat wood to get a fire started. Thank you for all your videos. Great content.
Can only choose one knife. KA-BAR BK2. Beast of a knife strong but can be used for fine work. Fits a big hand takes a fine edge and lifetime warranty. Only draw back need to get a different stealth. Had it for two years and used it hard. Still in great shape. Plus only 79 dollars. New generation BK22 has better stealth. Like you stuff GB keep it coming.
Very true. I ended up making my own leather sheath for it
Mora Carbon Garberg with leather sheath. Bought on your recommendation, and I agree.
Just got a Condor Terrasaur which is very similar to the Mora and shares many of the same features. I really like it so far. Right out of the box I cut some inch multi line I was splicing. Throws good spark and worked though a try stick like a champ. I also really like my kukri from Nepal. I have carried it for years. It's amazing how versatile that blade really is.
I think.for hunting ..fishing..camping..bushcraft..this knife does it all..good cutter..easy to sharpen...suoer strong and durable...easy to sharpen!!!
The best knife is the one in my hand or the one I can afford...lol. Seriously, I agree with you. Mora is the best bang for your buck. I’m not a professional though. That’s why I watch your videos. Thank you for teaching us and giving us confidence to get outdoors.
I just broke my K-BAR (u.s.m.c.) full size splitting wood with a hammer rushing to make a FIRE.😤😤 I've had that knife 20+yrs. The hammer won.thanks for your service an stay healthy.
Had the carbon and stainless Mora. Living here in Thailand the carbon became rusty very quickly my stainless still going strong. Maybe I was not careful enough with the carbon one, did not look after it very well but the stainless here in the tropics needs less maintenance, again could be just me not being carefu, great knife love my stainless Mora.
I think mora knife is like so in my lifestyle everyday as a carpenter and outdoor man yes
Love my Esee Laser Strike and Ontario Black Bird SK-5.
Mexican Air force pilot following your tips and vids here, great info!!
Concise, through brief. I've had one for ten yrs & it does everything you said. Get the leather sheath. It's worth it.
They haven't been around for 10 years
Thanks for another great video. I have been using my bk10 for 6 years. I did modify it by removing the coating, micarta handles, ground off the thumb ramp and flattened the spine. I lately been trying out a bk16 I got as a gift. This review does bring some interest. God bless and stay safe.
also amazing how all yall have such diverse tastes but the one common thread is that you all use your knives and know what you like .. 👍
You confirmed my outlook of the Garberg. Thanks and Be Well, JDQ.
I use the Mora Robust and I have sharpened the back to make it 90 degree angle to use it as a striker. It is solid and it works great. I also carry a Mora Eldris as a backup knife. The Mora Eldris already comes with a nice 90 degree sharp back.
I bought this exact knife. I love it. The knife is solid for anything I am going to do with it. I’ve had mine for just over a year now, and have only just had to sharpen it for the first time last month. I bought a nice set of water stones and have it sharpened better than what it was brand new. It’s not a razor sharp, but it is very sharp. For some reason I can’t get it to its full potential.
I would definitely buy this knife again if I had to and I do recommend it
I grew up on buck,k-bar & case. All very economical & dependable.folders & fixed blade. Never used a mora,but am not opposed to it. 60 years old now and been slicing my fingers for decades. End results are if it works use it
I have been following your channel as of late and really appreciate your style of delivery. Your straight forward, informative, unbiased, easy going presentation is quite effective and enjoyable to learn from.
I being an ex military vet, tend to gravitate toward ex military type personel, when it comes from field, real world, practical experienced person like yourself. I have had the pleasure of working alongside other Special Forces soldiers some years ago while on active duty. To a man, all seem to have an unique and excellent communicative skill set.
Thank you for what you do here in educating people and lastly thank you sir for your service to our country.
Love Mora's!!
Even the lil Eldris!!
Following you from Costa Rica. I will travel to Slovakia next month and I will get a Morakniv -Garberg- in Bratislava. Sweden is universally known for its high-quality steel. Thanks for this and many other videos.
I'll be honest, when it comes to knives a very good friend of mine that went to college with me always liked these knives and this company. With that being said I had a USMC style Ka-Bar that served me well from the time I was 13 until it got stolen when I was 22. That knife was the best ranch/field/ hunting knife I ever used
Be honest kody, your very good friend you went to college with liked mora.( his friend liked Mora everyone) so he’s going to tell us about his usmc knife?
@@EddieErion929 it sounds like his friend liked the Mora but Cody preferred the USMC-style Kabar? 🤷♂️
Got one for Christmas tonight. Very excited to use it.
I own a Mora garberg in stainless steel, it is my favorite knives especially for bushcraft. But if I could only pick on knife it would be my Mora Kansbol. Because of its thinner blade and duel grind it is much better as a food prep knife, and could easily be an amazing hunting knife but at the same time can do almost everything the garberg can.
Excellent thoughts my friend!!
Love my Garberg but never thought of the one hand firesteel strike on the exposed tang. An awesome tip. Will be practicing soon. Thanks!
Took your advice, and bought it with the leather sheath. Love it. Thanks.
Great job brother. One of the best reviews I've seen. You are sincere and I believe trustworthy. I have two Mora knives. The basic with a bright orange handle and my son bought me a Mora Light My Fire knife which I dearly love. That one is my go to knife. I also carry a Gerber Strongarm. That is my heavy duty knife. Nearly indestructible. In my pocket is my Victorinox SAK " Officer ". Those will take care of anything I've needed so far. I do like the Garberg. Thanks for sharing pal.
You were right. Ultimate knive and a typical scandinavian look. The leather sheath is beautifull. Low price, big quality. Feels tough en looks damn good. Thx!
I prefer the Garberg stainless. I also use an Air-force survival knife from Ontario Knife Co. to good effect. It cost $40.
I bought this knife couple weeks ago, took it to the mountains out here in California this weekend on a backpack scouting trip for deer hunting this year. This knife worked awesome, money well spent. Practiced a few things out there when time allowed and the mosquitoes would leave us alone, lol...
Great knife all around and did everything I needed to do with it.. going to buy one for some Xmas gifts this year.
Awesome, I have been using the jääkäripuukko 140 and love the simple design of that knife.
Jayson Jones that’s my favorite as well as the skrama big brother
I have the 110. It's an even more affordable option. The leather sheath has a plastic retainer in it as well. From what I understand the metal is softer and will require more maintenance, but a small price to pay to pay a small price.
I have the 110 and the Skrama on the way now
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I really like the knife but wish they didn't put the micro bevel on it, that's the only thing I changed. The optional leather sheath is vary well made.
Jayson Jones I’ll give it a good run. Puukko is my personal preferred style. I prefer wood handles but not everyone does. I eventually get all my blades secondary bevels work off through use and stropping over time. I don’t like those personally either
First and foremost id like to thank you for your service, as both of my cousins are/were in the military which puts the suggestions and opinions of soldiers at the utmost respect in my book! I absolutely love your videos not only because i know i can trust what you are saying, but also because of how you handle the comment section with the ignorant people that have nothing better to do than question your opinions on subjects that you fought for their ability to have freedom of speech for! Instead of looking at these videos like they were meant to be viewed as informational videos that can help a person decide on a single knife without having to go through the long time of trial and error with multiple knives, they sit there and critique a veteran thats simply trying to help them! Its pathetic! Support your damn veterans instead of trying to tear them down! Thanks again and keep the videos coming! GBGB !!!
Thanks Levi! I appreciate that. I will admit that many challenge my patience, but I try and look at it as an opportunity to be patient. Some I do a better job than others. Some folks just gotta go.
Thank you for the review. I use the Becker BK-2 with a new set of scales I bought separately.for bushcrafting
I‘m using the Carbon Garberg for over 2 years now. I never had a better knife!!!
I have a Mora Craftline Pro C and a Carpenter’s Chisel. Love them both. Looking forward to checking out a Garburg
Thanks for the super honest review without bullshit. I see many video's with people smashing knives against rocks etc. But just a plain honest review like this from someone that knows what he is saying is super. Just ordered my Mora garberg carbon because of this video. Just wanted to say that after many years of dreaming about bushcraft after i left the army i Just decided to enter a course all because of youre video's and that of David Canterbury. Thanks for that motivation. I seems nothing but for me it is. 👍 Keep on going
Just got one. Can't wait to run it.
There’s always time for try sticks
Well I'm going to disappoint you. My very first knives was a Mora. An been in love with them ever since. My first one was given to me by my grandfather back in the 70s. So I guess I'm telling my age. An have given them to my kids as a first knife. Now it's the grandkids time to get one. Keep up the great information!!
Great video, and well edited. I see your channel is improving. I look forward to more.
Great vid!!! Corp. Kelly sent me here. Glad to find the channel. Just got a mora bushcraft black seems to be a great knife. New to bushcraft, excited to learn!!! Love all you guys at SRO/pathfinder!!!! Thanks again!
I’ve been wanting to pick one up...seen nothing but good reviews and I actually started with the companion and I beat the hell out of it lol..my son has been collecting since he was 7 (15 now) he asked me for one as well..he’s finally out of the fantasy knife phase and is learning about the value of a good knife so thank you!!
I started with carbon and I agree with you. But I personally have a carbon kukri with a hudge spine, as well as matches, bics. Even though I was a carbon person based on experience I have settled on the CRKT M21-04G for a folder and the Gerber strong-arm for a fixed. Extremely impressed with both. Have owned mora, Benchmade, sog, Ontario, kizlyar Supreme and many more.
When somebody's opinion or experience is different from yours, you try to ask questions to understand where they are coming from?
If you get nothing from this video besides that point... you have learned how to do something better than before.
Great video as always.
Great knife. I used it many times in the field for inland SAR, it’s great for striking fero rods and making tinder. It’s also razor sharp out the box it’s still sharp to this day I’ve had it now for a year.
I do value your knowledge and you experience. I have not personally used the Mora brand of knifes. I have used and deployed with the ESEE 4. The only draw back to the ESEE 4. Is there is no 90 degree spine but I was able to put one on the spine with some work. Great info.
@TheLawDemon I happen to have the 4, 3. Izula, and the had the Candaru. I gave the Candaru to the Cigar club back in country for a raffle. I do have a couple Mora blades but the are in get home bags because they were in subcription boxes. I just never played with them. Just stuck to what I am comfortable with, which is the 4.
@TheLawDemon the izula is a great support knife for fish. That is what I have in my tackle box. I use my 4 for field problems with the Army, bushcraft, and camping with the family. My 3 is my is in my get home bag. The Candaru I bought as an impulse. My wife was pissed.
ESEE4HD! My number 1 go-to blade!
My Carbon Garberg still rules to this day and I’ve been using it since it came out in stainless first. I own HIGH end knives and I still go to my Garberg.
I ordered mine two days ago, should be here this Saturday. Can’t wait to try it out. I’ve been using a K bar For a while now.
Just understand that the Kbar is not a real field knife; more a issue combat knife. The Garburg is designed for field applications. I have a 2 generation Marine Kbar that both my dad and I carried. I don't use it for common carry field use.
After reading my post, the Kbar is frequently used for a lot uses such as opening cans, pounding things, etc but it was designed as a general issue combat knife.
I love my Garberg black. Great for opening beer bottles with the but end.
Thank you for an honest review, I will look into this as a second for my esse 6 hm
You have proven time and time again that you don't have to have the must expensive gear . Good job!
The RUclips professors seem to not to like personal opinions, Thanks Mr Green Beret enjoy your weekend! Come to Yellowknife in the winter
Excellent choice!!!
I’ve been looking at one of those. I have always been a big fan of the Kephart.
I always value your opinion. Thanks for your videos.
I have a bunch of knives, some I bought specifically for "survival". I find myself grabbing one of my Mora hd companions anytime I have to actually use a knife. I guess that means it's my favorite. To be honest, I think the sheath is half of the reason. I know people generally don't like them, but being able to clip it on and off to anything I'm wearing is a big plus. It's not a "survival" blade, but if I was ever caught with my pants down, it's more than likely the one I grabbed when I left.
It is the best knife that I've owned in 40 years. Great review. Thanks.
Nobody I trust more and few I trust as much to review hard-use gear for me. Thanks again, Josh. 👍
Iv been thinking of what knife to get and this video just sold it to me, thank you for a great video
Just received my silky gomboy that you suggested. I amazed at how effortlessly it cuts. I was also debating on whether to get the garberg or the bushcraft mora with the ferro rod. I think you've just helped me make up my mind on that. I'm also considering the pathfiner nesting cup.combo. While i appreciate the help with the decisions, your also gonna get me in trouble with the wife for buying all this stuff!! Lol 😆
You can’t go wrong with the bushcraft mora with the ferro rod build into the handle. The spine is great and is nice and sharp and light.
I'm really really grateful for this video thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Loved the review. I am a big fan of my Mora BCB. I will one day get the carbon Garberg for sure. If I had to pick one knife, I think it would have to be my Ontario Rat 7. It is too versatile and leaves me with a very solid knife. If I could have one knife and an hatchet, then I would probably choose my Mora BCB. Thanks for the great review.
Great explanation. Very much appreciate your review.
Mora makes a great bang for your buck. I personally like my mora companion, it is my favorite piece of camping gear.
I love mora knives. I've carrier the same mora bushcraft knife on me for about a decade now. Does everything I need it to do, and it's never let me down.
