Morakniv Companion Stainless Steel Fixed-Blade Knife with Sheath, 4.1 Inch,Black

This is such an incredible value that you should push "buy it now", and only then finish reading this review. When I wrote this, Amazon had black for $13 and change, and it arrived in two days via Prime. This is the knife you should take camping and hiking. It will slice food, shave tinder for a fire, cut the wood for your emergency shelter and cut a lethal spear for hunting quite quickly, or a bow and arrow or fire drill with more work; hunt, slaughter humanely (with a cut that complies with Kosher or Halal), defend yourself with lethal force. It will hold an edge and you can sharpen it - although that won't be necessary very often. You won't have to oil it after every use like the carbon steel version, and you won't pull it out for your next trip only to find that it's rusted. This is 100% quality and value, and 0% presumption: Made in Sweden out of excellent stainless steel by an old company that's preserved its principles and defined this style of knife. It doesn't come with a fancy brand name and the designer's name at the start of the product name, like so many "designer" knives today. It's just a Mora-style knife made by Mora of Sweden, from Sandvik of Sweden's most well-rounded knife steel. It's made with modern manufacturing processes, isn't handmade and doesn't have the metalsmith's initials struck into it. So, are you willing to carry a second, heavy knife to pair with this one for batoning, prying apart a deer's hip joint, and breaking and entering if that's what it takes to survive? Lots of people pair the Mora with the Ka-Bar BK2, which is more expensive but still a bargain. But if you want to continue the theme of 100% quality and 0% presumption, consider the Sheffield of England-made Footprint Tools Hacking Knife. It's a 1/4 inch thick hunk of carbon steel with a wicked sharp edge, and the back of the blade deliberately left un-hardened and finished rough because it's meant to be struck with a hammer! Ugly as sin, astonishingly cheap with the leather sheath at $27 and change here on Amazon, and able to cut mild steel and lesser metals, brick, wood, PVC pipe, you name it. Want a third cutting instrument? The Laplander saw. Same principles and value, and will educate you about what you've been missing with lesser saws.

I have heard from countless sources that this is a great knife, especially for the price. I agree. It is well built and sharp. Feels a lot like a steak knife out of the kitchen drawer, but not serrated and has that Scandy grind. I like it a lot. Definitely worth the price. Great first knife or great addition to a seasoned user's kit. If you are considering it, you should get it.. it is absolutely worth it.

The Mora Companion has been around FOREVER, so I don’t know there is much I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. It’s inexpensive, it can take a beating and just asks for more, the Scandinavian grind makes it perfect for wood work, and it’s thin blade also makes it quite adept at slicing and dressing out small to large game. It doesn’t slice as well as a thin, full flat grind, but it comes close enough to not disappoint. Although I would have preferred the carbon steel — and would recommend that version to anyone in a dry climate — I live in an area where humidity is an issue, so I opted for the stainless steel model. I use both carbon and stainless knives, and, honestly, other than being slightly easier to sharpen and a bit less likely to snap under stress, modern stainless steel is just as good. My only constructive criticism is the sheath: the blade snaps in and hold securely, but after some use, it will fall right out unless you keep the sheath/blade perfectly upright. But this IS NOT a mark against the blade. You can buy Kydex and other aftermarket sheaths online, but they are about 2 to 3 times the cost of the knife — around $25 to $50 as of writing this post. Worth it to me, but most people probably wouldn’t be cool with a sheath costing more than the knife. The sheath it comes with will function just fine. But be careful not to lean to far forward while carrying it, or the knife will slide out. The knife fits my hand very well, great ergonomics, and I have large hands. But even smaller hands will find the handle very comfortable, and it will not move around in your hand while using it. So far, the handle has ZERO hot spots. All-in-all, I DEFINITELY recommend this knife, or any knife by Mora. For the price, durability, and an awesome warranty, you just can’t go wrong.

This is one hell of a knife. How did the box it is frighteningly sharp. It easily glides through everything I've aimed at. I anticipate using this tool for the rest of my life. Extremely well made. Very affordable. Fantastic value for the price. I have several more expensive knives that aren't as well made as this one.

These knives are fantastic. The steel is a bit soft, but it doesn't tend to chip and it is easy to sharpen, thats the tradeoff for super hard steel. You can put an amazing edge on this thing with ease. You cannot beat the steel quality for the price. Buy this knife. You will not regret it.

Proud to own this knife! Great quality, durable, maintains its edge well. I will definitely buy more. The sheath is a great build, fits on a bikini while diving. Nice widdle knife for around the campfire. Use caution as it is sharp!

The Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Knife, in my opinion, is probably the best overall fixed blade knife for its price to quality ratio. The knife costs a little over $15 for the black handled one, but man you get so much worth out of it that it probably pays for itself over and over again. Morakniv's have been made in Mora, Sweden, since 1891 so needless to say they are very proud of their knife making abilities, and it shows in the knife's overall craftsmenship. The blade on the knife is made of hardened high-quality Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which provides excellent edge performance allowing for razor sharpness, a high hardness rating (HRC 56-58), and exceptional toughness and superior corrosion resistance. The overall length of the blade is 4.1 inches and 0.1 inches thick, the overall length of the whole knife is 8.75 inches and it weighs only 4.1 ounces. This knife comes extremely razor sharp right out of the box. The handle is made out of a rubber that's patterned, giving it a high friction grip and making it very easy to hold and grip no matter the task at hand. It does come with a black plastic sheath with a belt holder, but this is the one weak spot with this blade, as it does allow for the blade to move slightly in the sheath and it doesn't offer superior protection like a kydex sheath would. Still, it's a nice compliment to have for the blade, and you could always upgrade the sheath at a later time. This fixed blade outdoor knife is perfect for a variety of outdoor activities, including making fire tinder, cutting wood, carving wooden tools, prepping food, making sparks with a Swedish fire steel, and much more. Every outdoor enthusiast, camper, survivalist, and anyone else looking for a solid, dependable knife should definitely add the Morakniv Companion fixed blade to their collection, and watch it outperform the majority of your much more expensive blades. I will be buying multiple Morakniv's in the future for friends, family, and even myself. This is my EDC knife.

This companion series knife is always a great value priced knife. I have a bad habit of losing my knives so these morakniv companions are perfect to take hunting as the cost is not high but the build and quality are excellent. The stainless steel version does hold it's edge well and it is easy enough to sharpen so I do not feel the need to buy the carbon steel version and worry about any rust. Perfect blade length and shape for a general hunting knife.

Bought for bush craft though not yet had chance to get out though did use to feather some sticks in the back yard this thing is sharp straight out of the box and seems very well made and strong enough for my needs

It's a mora knife and it works how a mora knife should: super well! It carves wood well, and it sharpens easily, and I don't worry about it breaking. I like the carbon version of this knife a bit more because it is 0.5mm thinner so it slices a bit better, but if you need stainless then this is still perfectly good.

Super design et qualité tres pratique

I recently had the opportunity to put Thais great outdoor knife to the test, and I must say, it didn't disappoint. This rugged tool proved to be a dependable companion. One of the standout features of this knife is its thoughtfully designed ergonomic plastic case. Not only does it keep the blade secure and protected, but it also adds a level of convenience to carrying. I had it clipped to my pant without belt while mountain biking, the knife was always easily accessible without being a burden. The ergonomic handle of the knife deserves special mention. Its strength was evident as I tackled different cutting and carving tasks, providing a secure grip that instilled confidence even in challenging conditions. During my time using this knife, it effortlessly handled everything from preparing campfire kindling to assisting in meal prep. The sharpness of the blade remained consistent, and the overall build quality left me assured that this knife would withstand the test of time. In conclusion, if you're on the lookout for a versatile outdoor knife that combines toughness with portability, this is certainly worth considering.
