mora bushcraft survival knife

[edxamador]

true with the sandvik however i have a mora in 440 ( the scout model) and in wood carving it gets edge rolls alll over...gets dull really fast....toooooo soft steel

I thought I would like this handle more, I actually prefer the older style Mora 2000. Both will be excellent knives, it will come down to what you are willing to pay, and how it feels in your hand.

I got my Mora Bushcraft Survival recently and I really love it. Sure, compared to the other Mora´s it´s quite expensive (60 Euros here in Germany). Having said this, it was crazy sharp out of the blister pack and has a secure fit in the sheath.

My Mora Bushcraft Triflex doesen´t has the same fit in the sheath an can fall out easily. Moreover the Triflex steel doesn´t throw any usable ferrorod sparks, even not after I filed the spine. It seems to be too soft at the edges. Furthermore the Bushcraft Triflex is slightly smaller than the Bushcraft Survival. Without having a Bushcraft Force so far, the Force seems to be the same knife as the Bushcraft Survival with a better polished blade.

Like others have said, don't waste $30 - $40 on the package with firesteel and a sharpening stone.

I like the Mora Bushcraft Force, it's thicker and bigger, great slicer, but it does get edge rolls easy (JMH experience)

Get a $12 Mora, a $5 steel and a $5 stone - all you need in Moraville

But if you want what a Mora wishes it was ... Get a BHK Bushcrafter. Great Knife.

^This. :thumbup: I think that the Bushcraft Survival is kind of a deviation from what Mora stands for. It's an interesting concept, but I'd rather get a Bushcraft Force, an LMF firesteel, and a DMT diamond card, and spend the savings on other toys.

"Moreover the Triflex steel doesn´t throw any usable ferrorod sparks, even not after I filed the spine. It seems to be too soft at the edges."

Good observation.

I struck good sparks off of the Triflex about 1/4" behind the point along the back edge. The harder steel lays several hundreths of an inch below the surface of the steel on the back. If you were to file a notch and bevel it, you should be able to get sparks as you should be below the decarburized softer layer.

Mora knives have a great reputation and a great price point, but I'm a little skeptical of the $60-$70 price tag on this model. Seems to me that your paying $40+ extra for a sharpening stone and a firesteel.

Yeah, bought my first mora for $13 dollars..+50 or 60 dollars seems kinda weird to pay that much for a field stone and steel.
