Look, this is how it will go:

Mora: thanks for letting us know, your pics look real. But please send us the knife in question so we can look at it.

You: its fake

Mora: well sir how do you know?

You: it was bent, didn't patina immediately, or chop wire

Mora: well sir, you do know its a knife to cut things and not to chop wire like the "youtube reviewers do", but can you send it to us to see?

You: it was fake!!!!

Mora: ok..........


So thats how all this will go, because you had a real Mora that would have been warrantied by the company for the bent tip.
Dude, as I'd have to be seriously impaired or have my intelligence diminished to talk to anyone like that...

And your assumption that I even care enough to discuss this further is kinda funny (few euros isn't even worth hassle to ship it there even if I still had the knife)...

Also, stop embarrassing yourself on here.

Maybe be here a bit longer before you try to flame. Seems you and E EatingSarma are buds! Thats so cute, hope it works out for you two.

Back to knife talk, 2 for the ignore list.
Yeah, I know... it must be hard to watch how everyone else has friends while you're alone...

As far as ignore list goes - thanks for saving my time by doing it yourself :)
I appreciate it :D
 
First things first, there are pics:

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!
Why would somebody bother to counterfeit an $8 knife?

I agree, but it's also strange to have it bend so much from just the tip test...
And huge dents on steel from few whacks on just a steel wire.

From all that he said - it looks like it's not heat treated at all...

This is what happened .EatingSarma make wrong decision to cut steel wire and he damaged edge .There was million different steel wire out there ..Sarma get wrong one , hardened one .That kind of wire will damaged edge on best knife on this planet. So this Mora must be fake..because can not cut hardened steel :eek:
Question for you ..........about that THAT Mora knives which looks like it's not heat treated at all :D DID you look damage on edge on that knife ????????????? Not heat treated steel DON T make CHIPS , SOFT steel WILL roll , my Smiling Friend........... EatingSarma just want attention here :thumbsdown: I don t believe even his story about is it carbon or stainless :thumbsdown: This is my opinion about this topic , like it or not :p

Well, it seems that boat has sailed... but whatever the cost, I would have sent back that knife to Mora. Just to clear the field and let them know, hands on, that there is something fishy going on.

Same reason why they make knock offs of knkck offs.

You really need to work on your grammar... this is impossible to read.

Nah, you're the one who just wants attention.

If all these accounts aren't the same person.

I agree, he needs to go back to school.
 
"No good deed goes unpunished"
This is so true here.

-I get a hold of the knife that's possibly counterfreit.
-I make thread about it to warn others about this.
-I even take pictures so it's not all talk
-I even go out of my way and inform Morakniv.

Responses:
- I get accused of buying it from AliExpress or cheapest possible webshop
- I get accused that I'm crazy and that the knife is actually rusted, just I missed it
- This thread is called worthless as these knives are cheap and everyone here is probably a millionaire from the context
- Some troll that can't even talk or write English properly is accusing me of attention seeking?

1. I made this thread to give heads up to people that might buy this tommorrow.
2. I warned Mora about this.
3. I never asked Mora or anyone to either send me replacement knife or anything.
4. I didn't talk any shit about Mora, this knife sucked, steel properties didn't match carbon steel either, and that's why I'm convinced it's a fake.
 
Sarma get wrong one , hardened one .That kind of wire will damaged edge on best knife on this planet.
No wire is going to be hardened, hardened steel is brittle, and you don't make wire brittle as it defeats the purpose of having a wire.

Go back to school.

Story of your friend is fake .I hope my grammar this time is Ok , so you understand what i m saying .

Some wire is hardened.

I also wonder why China would counterfeit a $10-20 knife, but then again, the majority of counterfeit products made in China are sold inside China to fellow Chinese.

With a growing middle class, Chinese people are big time consumers and love inported good as much as us Americanos do. Plenty get swindled, as us Americanos do.

If fake, I suspect this knife was originally made for the China market.
