If you want a quality knife that stays Sharp this is it.

One days use practice throwing and mumblety-peg. I heard so many good things about these Mora knives, but I wouldnt use this model for outdoors use. I realize carbon steel needs care but this is really fast rusting. I am used to stainless and never had problems like this, my old kbar isnt like this either. I dont think I should have to do anything to it before I use it like the vinegar boil in other reviews, except sharpen it. You figure Mora could upgrade their carbon coating to resist rusting in an outdoors environment recommended knife that is going to get wet and dirty, wiped on whatever is handy to clean up and put away.

You cant beat this carbon steel badboy for the money. It would be great if they squared off the spine of the knife to make it work better with a ferro rod. Its also a little handle heavy, which is great because I know theres a lot of steel in there to make it strong, but it does feel a little off balance. None of these factors, however, will affect my rating one bit. This is a solid knife for the price.

Very pleased with product for the money

I have bought several Maraknivs. My family likes them very much. They are not small or some fancy cool piece of equipment. They are simple knives. We carry them in the glove box in our cars and they have come in handy many times while on a picnic or out camping. A basic, inexpensive and yet dependable, strong and sharp knife.

This is an awesome budget bush knife. Came with the classic shaving-sharp skandi-grind blade. The blade is thicker than the mora companion, made of carbon steal (which can struck on flint rock on blade spine for sparking char cloth) The shieth is a little bulky, but you can wear it on the belt, on a button or around your neck on a length of para cord. It has a drain hole to keep standin water out. Moisture van be a problem with carbon blade. It is best to keep a thin layer of gun oil on it or a food-safe dry lubricant (if you may use it food) to keep rust off. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars it that its not a full tang knife. The tang is a 3/4 length rat-tail tang. If you plan on batoning sticks for kindling, keep them around. 1 or 1.5 thick.

Im really pleased with this knife, it comes out of the box razor sharp and feels pretty solid in the hand. The scandi grind means itll be really easy to keep sharp on a good stone as well. The only problem I had was trivial, the spine didnt come as sharp as Id like but its not a big deal to file it down a bit.

Well made can do it all.

Great all around knife! Absolute must have for the price and the function. You can use it for anything from making feather sticks to striking a fire steel.
