      Hey Junkyard Fox! Well I’d be better off getting two Mora Kansbol instead of one Mora Garberg?

    • @adammcguinness9950
      @adammcguinness9950 2 года назад +3

      I think so. The Garberg is too thick for slicing jobs. It’ll work but the Kansbol is fantastic for most tasks. A Garberg with a Kansbol backup is ideal but if I could only choose one, it would be the Kansbol.
      I noticed that your knife, the Snake Eater, is similar to the Kansbol. I could see it being a useful knife.

    I’m 48, owned a lot of knives. I only recently bought a Mora. It’s not this one but the companion I think and I can attest, best 15 bucks I ever spent. Besides maybe my opinel. They’ve both become my go to knives any more. The opinel is excellent for food prep or cutting an apple and the mora is just tough.

    • @JunkyardFox
      @JunkyardFox  3 года назад +8

      yeah those are some grat brands. and the kansbol somehow manages to be a sturdier version of those 2 blades combined.

    I have used the Mora 2000 for over ten years on my boat. No complaints ever. This year I have added the Kansbol. We sail the archipelago in southwestern Finland so there are campfires and saunas quite often. Here the Kansbol gets all the stars, the sharp spine for scraping birch bark, sparking the fire steel, the best. Splitting down kindling, food prep and just plain whittling, a joy. Best value on land or sea. Thanks for the great video.

      @tor2919 Год назад +3

      The Mora 2000 is the greatest knife of all time in my opinion. Better handle than the Kansbol. Bought my first Mora 2000 in 1997. Seems a lot of people online doesn’t know the Mora 2000 is issued to Swedish soldiers. Fantastic knife!

    @charlescollier7217 3 года назад +10

    I completely agree, James. The combination of versatility, ergonomics, sheath/carry options and design, weight, cutting characteristics, and price, it's unmatched. It's an easy pick when going hiking or camping. Heck, it's an easy pick around the kitchen too.

  • @lorenray9479
    @lorenray9479 Год назад +1

    The kansbol has become my favorite garden/ forage knife If I tuck it in my front pocket to stop the sheath from flipping thisaway, thataway! The stainless rolls a bit on root stocks and ground stems but is easily rolled back with a diamond flat rod sharpener. Best slicer for vegis! My green is stealthy and blends with camo geer!

  • @kpfagerberg
    @kpfagerberg 3 года назад +4

    I bought this knife on a whim one time and have been a huge fan of it ever since. Was probably one of the sharpest out of the box knives ever. I bought a 2nd just in case I lost this one.

  • @andymkay
    @andymkay 2 года назад +4

    Yes. Kansbol is excellent. Very versatile, even more so since there is multi mount available as options if you fancy that. (Does cost extra!) My second favorite is probably Mora Companion, in my opinion a super value of a knife with comfortable rubberized grip and usual mora scandi blade.

    A long time user of Morakniv products. Though I had 8 various Moras, last week I ordered a Kansbol. When it arrived and I began to look it over, I clearly see why so many people speak so highly of it. A very impressive design, combined with the worldwide known Morakniv quality. Living in the woods of East Texas, I'm surrounded by pine, oak, and cedar trees. I am now going to be carrying the Kansbol into my woods and make use of its well thought out features.
    Great video and information about this knife. It was a deciding factor in my buying this knife. Thank you!

    Amen to that. I bought Kansbol unused second hand for €20, very sceptical about the combo grind. I came to love it so much for the reasons you so well articulated. I have many expensive fancy, hand made, even custom knives with much better steels, but Kansbol is my favourite.

    Thanks Junkyard Fox for the great review and the great music. When I was a young man living in Alaska, I would carry a large thick Bowie knife for wood processing and a second very sharp flat grind blade to skin and game process. The best of both worlds. This Kansbol seems to have both these features in one knife. It is a bit small, but the price is right. Thanks again.

  • @YoutubeCommenter1
    @YoutubeCommenter1 2 года назад +14

    I feel like the Kansbol is Mora's attempt to make the perfect outdoor knife, whereas the Garberg is more a gimmick to appeal to the full tang survival market. The multi grind makes it so much more useful for multiple tasks, as well as the thinner blade material

At Camp I always hav the kansbol & an expensive custom knife also with a multi grind similar to the Kansbol. Especially at deer Camp someone always wants to borrow a knife. I hand them the Kansbol & they always ask where I got it. It's a grt knife, especially for the price.

    I went to buy a Kansbol about a month ago and they were selling Mora 2000 anniversary additions (exactly the same but black handle and sheath) for £24 delivered. Couldn't resist. I prefer the 2000 handle, I know some find it too thin. I always have a Victorinox Farmer on me for scraping tasks so the rounded 2000 spine isn't an issue. As regards the Kansbol type blade, usually a Jack of all trades means you have to compromise somewhere, not here, it pretty much does everything you need it to. Good stuff!

    @gizmocarr3093 6 месяцев назад

    I use the Mora Eldris, 2000 and Kansbol all are worth owning. I have other knives much more expensive to; the only real difference is mostly appearance. Thick full tang knives are not a necessary or a major important value. I never found any knife as easy to sharpen as one with a scandi grind. Proving otherwise is hard to do.👍

    Personally if I had just one knife to take and survive on I wish I knew what brand it was but it's a Chinese meat cleaver I picked up at an Asian food store a few years back. High carbon steel, easy to sharpen, holds an unbelievable edge, processes food like a monster, sparks a rod, back side is squared so it scrapes scales/wood like crazy, chopped small trees (about 3" diameter), and have baton with it though the handle kept me worried while doing it (no side effects from it). The only two negatives I can say about it was that it doesn't have a sheathe (made some with plastic) and rat tail tang (it's still durable, though I'd feel much better if it was full tang). I've visited that store a few times over the years and they never restocked this particular model after I bought it otherwise I'd buy a few extras (I have other meat cleavers, but this one seems to be the best among the ones I own and the cheapest at the time).

    Growing up quite close to Mora in the 60s, I remember the Mora knifes well. Everyone had them, it was like Falu rödfärg. I didn't even know they were made for anything else than workman's knives. Or exported.
    It was a surprise to see a generalized Morakniv also used for cooking etc, instead of getting a specialized knife for that.

My woodworking toolbag knife is the humble Stanley 10-049 that locks securely and is feather-light when carrying a load of tools.

  • @JosephLupoli
    @JosephLupoli 2 года назад

    Hi, Junkyard Fox! Great presentation!
    And I think you're right in that the Mora Kasbol is a super knife with great versatility.
    The following is just my opinion, which probably isn't worth much.
    The one major drawback with the Kansbol is that the blade is only 2.5mm thick stainless steel.
    Whereas the Mora heavy duty Companion (at roughly half the cost), is 3.2mm thick stainless steel. Of course both models have that nice scandi grind blade (the Kansbol has the partial scandi, which helps to make this knife more versatile than the Companion HD is (hence the added cost).
    Also, the Kansbol SS does sport a 90 degree spine to facilitate great ferro rod sparks (unlike the Companion HD).
    However, the added thickness of the Companion HD is much more trustworthy for batoning wood in a pinch, plus it can and perform heavier bushcraft work overall.
    So even though the Kansbol blade is considerably wider and just slightly longer than the Companion HD is, I'm hard-pressed to justify the Kansbol's dollar-for-dollar value over the HD Companion.
    One more point: the Kansbol has a drop-point blade shape--not very conducive for an emergency self defense thrust, whereas the HD Companion has a more of a clip-point blade shape--very effective for a self defense thrust.
    On the other hand, I find that the Kansbol handle feels more comfortable and secure in my hand than all my other Mora's.
    Cheers!

    You’ve convinced me to get it” Amazon prime” I just got the Mora companion the other day, like the knife, but the sheath does not lock as tight as I’d like it too. Thanks for the great review

    Whats your opinion on BPS knives .Great video i prefer stainless ,especial with the modern steel ,moras steel can produce sparks off the spine but not as great as a carbon ,God bless you and your family 🙏. Lee

    I wouldn’t advise a new by get this knife because of the 2 grinds on the blade. Start with a single grind and learn to sharpen it before moving up to 2!👍

      It really isn't two different grinds, in fact I can't tell for sure if they put the edge grind on before they thin out the front of the blade or vice versa. It is just thinner at the front, so the edge grind does not extend up as far. It really is still a scandi grind of the same angle, on a thinner blade, so it is narrower. You should not do anything different when sharpening each portion of the blade. Granted, if you are trying to do a "true" scandi, holding the whole main grind flat to a stone, it will be harder to feel when you are on that flat in the narrow portion. But the blade has a "micro-bevel" as some call it, so you have a long way to go to remove that, and it will go a lot quicker in the narrow part. I prefer to profile the "micro-bevel" back a bit, but still retain it and use a slight "lift" off the stone to sharpen, which means absolutely no difference in technique or difficulty across the length of this blade.

    Thank you. I’d like to see how it would do having that multi grind, running it down making a fish fillet. I would assume it would be hard to get a good even fillet.

    Well you convinced me, I can't decide on the color so I'm getting both lol and using your link! I always thought that compund knife grind designe was silly and a gimmick but the way you explained it for skinning and cleaning fish game etc. makes alot of sense as that is one issue I have with a scandi ground blade vs a flat grind like my essee blades. I have and love moras especially the bushcraft black, the mora chisel, the fillet knife and a small carver that I have. They are so lite weight and low cost you can carry an armada of them in your pack! Guess I'll be carrying at least one more!

    Nice knife. I really like the dual grind blade. I have just bought the Garberg in stainless and the Companion in stainless as well. But I never knew about the Kansbol. I like stainless steel blades the best, because I am not good with carbon steel. My first Mora in carbon steel rusted up a lot and I don't want to have to oil the blade all the time. Plus, I always have a ferro rod some where on me, so using a rock to catch a spark on a carbon steel blade will hopefully not be an issue (hope I did not hex myself, saying this). I enjoyed this video. Thanks.
