I bought a "Mora 511" for very cheap from a store (5€ I think, they are usually at 10-12€).

Everything was great, but then I noticed the steel is kinda too shiny for carbon.
It does say CARBON tho...

And the blade was kinda bent to the right. It came like that brand new. It did seem off when compared to Moras I used before, but again, I never inspected them closely and they weren't mine. I also broke few Moras in the past (they don't like hits it seems).

So, a brand new blade is bent.
It's not screamingly sharp either, but also not very dull...

First I cut an apple with it and I was amazed there's no discoloration. Then I took a lemon, and I left it covered in lemon juice for 2 hours - and there was no staining?!?!?!

I took it outside, and it got bent right away when I tested the tip.
I also tried to chop thin steel wire just for kicks - almost no damage to the wire, but the "Mora" suffered significant damage.

Example: Cheap crappy AliExpress knife suffered that kind of edge damage only when I batonned it through a steel nail.

The best part:
Even after cutting acidic fruits, several hours long lemon juice soak and all that abuse, this "Carbon" steel is still shiny and without a single stain!

You might want to contact Morakniv and let them know.
 
you need to have your country's consumer protection organization involved, this is simply fraud
 
CH nation manufacture all and any thing they can find around entire World !
Why not a Mora ??
 
Mora is a great knife at a great price from a big dealer. I dont know why you try to save a couple $$ for the cheapest one you can find on the web. You got a fake to save a couple of bucks. Guess you will have to eat it. SAD.

It's not from the web, I just saw it in the store and said "Why not?"
 
I thought the 511/611 has the red stained or painted wood handle of the number 1 and number 2, plus a half guard.
That's what my 511 had, at any rate. ("had" because I recently gave it to a staffette who is a huntress.)

Since you bought it a physical store, can you return it?

Considering it's in trash now - probably not, as 5€ isn't worth spending 30mins and 2€ on transport plus trash digging...

I can however send email to Morakniv, and point to that store. Lucky for me, I have receip I can take picture of.

Read his post first before calling him out.

He didn't search for cheapest one or bought it online. But those are nice assumptions, and I really wonder what's the driving force behind that motivation to talk down to people like that?

This guy might as well own a more expensive knife than you do for all you know, unless you have something more fancy than Warcraft Tanto or ESEE, chances are he has better knife than you do.

How could you know that tho?
You didn't even read his post.

He's personal friend of mine, he's also a student paying his own college and has recently lost his job the same way I did so I kinda got pissed off to this.

It's also a shame you made such comment without even reading the post.
Why did you think this would contribute to discussion is beyond me.
But I do hope that those few minutes of posting satisfied your ego.
 
E EatingSarma Thanks for posting about this, I didn't know there's fake Mora knives , but it doesn't surprise me. Hope you get a replacement soon. They are a very good knife. :thumbsup:

So your response to a perceived insult towards your friend is to post your own insults?

Chill out. There's nothing on this forum worth getting so bent out of shape over. It's just knives for heavens sakes. Rusty didn't call your friends mom a dirty name or disparage his religion.

Good job EatingSarma on alerting Mora. Lesson learned.
