Morakniv Companion Heavy Duty Knife with Sandvik Carbon Steel Blade, 0.125/4.1-Inch

Best knife buy out there. Love these knives.

For what you pay ? This has to be the best bang for your buck period... Buy with confidence and dont look back

Most of the one and two star reviews on this knife are because people dont know that high quality carbon steel will rust if not cared for properly. That being said, I bought my first Mora in 1956 for a whopping $1.50 and it served me well for many year, even with the abuse I put it through. I have since used many knives, am a collector and former dealer and simply have a passion for quality edged tools. I judge all knives against my first Mora and its quality. Now, over 60 years later, I still own and use Moras and love the idea of this Companion Heavy Duty. It has a thicker blade and larger handle and is designed for hard field use, including batoning. For under $20 there is no better knife (IMO) in this price range (or even much higher) that will maintain its edge or perform as well. The Companion HD is the same exact knife as the Mora Robust High Q (not to be confused with the Robust Trade knife, they are different) except for color of handle, but that knife has been discontinued. Please note that if you have small hands, the H.D. might seem a little large for you ( more palm swell in the handle) and perhaps the regular Companion might suit you better. I have one and it is tough as nails, lighter and more controllable than this larger cousin. The pics show the H.D. next to the Robust High Q so you can see they are the same dimensions and I added pics so you can compare the differences in the Regular Companion and this H.D. The Esee Laser Strike was added as a reference for size comparison. For the price of that Esee, you could buy the Mora Companion HD, and a Bahco Laplander folding saw, and a decent Marbles Hatchet and still have money left over. You dont have to spend alot of money for great quality in an awesome knife. UPDATE 7/22. Ive had time to put this knife to some use and although I still rate it as a 5 Star knife, I find that I prefer the regular Companion MG over this one. I just cannot seem to get used to the excessive palm swell in the handle while while the MG is comfortable and feels like it is an extension of my hand. I guess the H.D. might be better suited to large hands. Just personal preference.

Yes, it has a plastic handle and sheath which are not exactly beautiful. Its a working knife, not an art piece to hang on the wall. And as a working knife, it is terrific. The bright orange version is easy to spot if you absent-mindedly lay it down somewhere (never do that! thats what the belt sheath is for!) The handle is ergonomic and doesnt slip. The sheath holds the knife safely and securely. The carbon steel blade comes with a lovely sharp edge that holds up beautifully. Yeah, its not stainless, so what. Put a patina on it (Google it) and rust wont be a problem with reasonable care. Buy several of these and stash them in strategic locations. A quality tool has its own beauty.

What can you say about Morakniv knives that hasnt been said: they are awesome and those that used them love them. Now take that and put heavier blade on it... excellence. Tactical green. Heavier blade. Great belt clip. Carbon steel blade, which can be ground on the spine for use on fero rod.

I dont know who sets the prices for this knife, but they could be making a boat load of more money with this. This is one of the top knifes I have ever owned, and because of the price I will be buying more. If you are reading this and have not already bought one, buy it right now. You will never find a knife of this quality for such a low price ever. I would rate this as good as one of my $100+ knifes, if not better. Get one, five or ten of these. If not for you, for someone else. They will thank you until the end of the world.

My all around tool

Light weight and keeps a sharp blade.

It’s good strong and sharp.
