Who is a Morakniv user?

[LtScott14]

Yep. My Mora is my woods knife - backpacking, camping, bushcrafting, etc. I think I’ve only touched the edge up 2-3 times on a pocket ceramic sharpener in my pack and the edge isn’t that far off from factory. Plenty of whittling, light batoning, fire prep and it’s been a champ. Carbon blade throws a decent spark too. Definitely a recommended knife for a person just getting into field knives.

Good score on Moras. I also own a Short Kabar fixed blade.(approx 4.75 in blade). It has been impressive as a belt knife in leather USMC sheath.
I do own a full size Kabar USMC knife, but the 5in or about size seems to fit most scenarios. The full size is a 7in blade and overall bigger. I see why its a battle knife very popular and copied by others too.
I don't use my knives for prybars, or batoning bigger than 1in or 2in wood. Hand Axe does better and easier. My blades are for slicing and trimming.
Just practice your skills a bit, it gets easier. Good luck!

That yard knife looks like it can do some work

My favorite Mora used to be the Mora "Light my fire", and now they've renamed it to the Mora "Companion Spark". Personally, I think it's the most underrated fixed blade on the market for the $$. The knife/ferro rod and sheath all weigh 4 ounces which is silly lightweight for all that. The knife comes with a 90 degree spine. It's not a full tang knife, but if you go easy on it and use correctly you can get some light duty battoning with it to come up with tinder that'll take a spark. I think it's an incredible value at $30 ish for very solid lightweight package.

I keep a Companion with my camping gear, and the basic in my car. They are reliable and ridiculously cheap but get it done.

I’ve got a carbon steel Garberg. Great solid knife, not expensive and throws great sparks with a ferro rod.

I have a Companion that I have in my hunting bag. It's a nice size for gutting and holds a great edge.

I just bought 6 more of the 5.11 basics. Found them last week on sale for 5.49/ea

I forgot to mention that, they are dirt cheap for how good they are.

We've got several. A couple in the kitchen, one in the toolbox, one in each vehicle, and a couple more in my hunting pack and GHB. I like em, decent steel, easy to sharpen, and cheap enough if I break one, oh well.

I have a few, this is one of my favorites.

I have a Companion I bought years ago when Wranglerstar promoted them. No longer follow Wranglerstar, but the knife is a still a winner.
