"Mora! Mora! Mora!"

Car camping this weekend I had brought a very nice hand made knife for main carry but the Mora still had to stay close. It was my only knife that could do this so it had mandatory kitchen duty. I am addicted to the noise it makes falling back in the sheath. Really sounds like a putt sinking. Boiled eggs BTW.

Not my video, but seems appropriate for this thread.
 
I have 2 Stainless Companions(1 in green, 1 in blue), a Craftline Robust, a Pro S, and a Pro Flex. The Pro Flex is possibly the sharpest out of box knife I've ever gotten, if it's not the sharpest it's definitely top 3.
 
Another video. Puts the Companion HD head to head with a $300 Bark River.

Any comparison with a Mear's Buscraft at about $600.00? :D (The Barkie is really $228.00)

I love the cuts and blood stains. :eek:

I also love how he is now an expert on what Scandivavians call the grinds they put on knives.

Pulled the trigger on my first Mora (Companion HD) thanks to this thread. :)

They're good knives for the price, but don't expect too much. For me, they are easy to sharpen (which is good, since they require frequent sharpenings), and they are pretty robust for a lightweight knife. This is attributable to a very thick primary grind, which gives strength but takes away from cutting ability.
 
I have more Mora's than I can count. I have them stashed all over the danged place and I buy them for stocking stuffers at Christmas time every year. I reach for my old Mora 911 in the shop just like it was a screwdriver or a hammer. I also keep two as backups when I go hunting. If I kill more than one deer or if it has a lot of dirt in the hide, I use them to skin.

Thanks for the feedback. Considering the price, I don't think I have my expectations set unreasonably high.
 
Forced (vinegar) patina I put on my highQ today after noticing (and cleaning) two very small rust spots.

Taking a Mora to wood is the most pleasure I get out of using a knife. The thing was born to carve. It is pure joy making fine curls for hours on end. Ahh, methinks I need to start a new project...

I have a short Spec Ops Combat Master sheath that some of mine rotate through. I wouldn"t be surprised if I had about 15 in my knife tub and various bags, whatever. And I want a few more of the new Pro line.
 
Even though the plastic sheaths have improved a lot from past (old clipper vs new companion) I like to make my own sheaths to bring a little "glamour" to the game. :D

Hey all, I don't actually own a Mora yet, but will soon remedy that.
Looking to purchase a Companion HD but undecided on SS vs Carbon.
Any opinions on which holds the better edge, easier to sharpen, bites into wood better etc?
Thanks all,
Lenny
 
Unless I'm mistaken, the HD model only comes in carbon.

The regular companion comes in either/or, and while it a good bit thinner in the spine, I own both and the regular companion is plenty enough knife for like 98% of tasks... Actually does most day 2 day jobs better because it is thinner...

That said you can't really go wrong with any of them for the price. Buy the HD (carbon) and a SS Companion and be done with it.
 
If I were to buy only one (which I wlll probably do) which do you suggest?
I can get the Companion at a local place in either SS or Carbon so that saves time and shipping.
Which steel should I get?

Personally, def pick up the regular companion first, and if you find you "need" more knife, you can always pick an HD or "other" knife down the road, but the companion will handle most typical chores you throw it...

And I would say go with the SS, it's very well done in the Mora's... Their sandvik Performs almost like a carbon but with all the benefits that come with being stainless...
 
I just picked up a couple stainless Moras from Bladeforums member Forty-Two Blades who owns Baryonyx Knives. He has a great selection of various knives and gives very personal service and is very helpful here on the forum.
I decided he should have my business instead of the bigger box stores or amazon.
