Morakniv Garberg Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

What a great knife. I own a few knives. Most are mora knives. This is my new favorite. Its heavier than most Moras. Which I really like. Its very comfortable in the hand. It did not come razor sharp. But sharp enough. Since I sharpen my own knives. I strooped it a bit and it was good. I been waiting to treat myself to this knife and I have not been disappointed. Some will say $100 for a mora is to much. But yah know what. I like mora knives. So take my money.

Very sturdy, well built knife. Ive bought another since purchasing this one.

Ive been a fan of Morakniv for a long time. Ive purchased a bunch of knives from this company and never disappointed. The quality and sharpness of these knives for the price is unmatched in my opinion. I highly recommend anyone looking for quality in a knife.

Enough said - I will be buying another!

Garberg Carbon Steel, poly sheath, 08Dec2022. Looks factory grind (w micro-bevel), but arrived surprisingly not sharp (def not what I expected, not dull, but way short of sharp). Price dipped on Amazon, so grabbed one, but prob got 1 of some kind of mass production I guess, hence the drop in price (sharpness?). Still a great full-tang, and was planning to re-profile anyway, so factory edge maybe not so important. Grip is okay, wish the hilt/hand guard was more pronounced. Unlike Companion, Garberg is ambi-dexterous in poly sheath. Note that the Hypalon belt loop (included) is the only way to attach knife/sheath to a belt/molle in this configuration. I will definitely need to replace/mod that, it will never hold up. So, wait for a good price, consider re-profiling, and search for custom sheaths. At least thats what I did, or am doing. -JD

Its a rock solid buy and a solid knife! Best you will ever find at this price

Maybe I am biased to a good leather sheath, but it seems I have yet to find a platic or kydex sheath worth a ... that comes stock with any knife.

I had already owned three knives made by Mora. The Companion Heavy Duty (carbon steel), the Forest Bushcraft (stainless steel), and the Craftline 511(stainless steel). This isnt going to be a comparison of the Garberg to those knives because they really dont compare for several reasons with the obvious one being that these are not full tang like the Garberg. I simply wanted to point out that I already felt like Morakniv had quality knives at a lower price point. I really wanted this knife when it first came out but honestly, I couldnt afford it. Also, I didnt really need it since I had cheaper Moras that would already perform adequately enough in the Companion and the Forest Bushcraft. Since I never had a really high quality fixed blade knife before, I simply wanted it. I would wait 3 years before making the purchase. Now that I have it, all I can say is WOW!. Out of the box, the first thing I noticed was the weight. It just feels solid and balanced and very comfortable in my hand. The handle allows for a sure grip so I wont worry about dropping it while handling it. When I removed it from the sheath, I immediately noted the blade thickness along the smooth spine. Smooth enough to spark a Ferro rod. The steep factory Scandi grind with its razor sharp edge stood out on the black, moisture resistant coating on the blade. Inspecting the frictionless handle, you see the end of the full steel tang protruding from the butt. Just before the butt, a hole is provided. Perfect for a paracord strap, perhaps with a ferro rod at the end. There are several sheath options offered by Mora with the Garberg depending on your needs and wants. I elected to go with the simple Poly Sheath but also bought a 3rd party custom leather sheath as well. Im not going to get into splitting hairs over whether this knife will actually split hairs. I will just say it gets plenty sharp for what I might want to do at camp or on the hiking trail. Id also be glad to have it if I found myself in a survival situation out in the wilderness. Its perfect for batoning and feathersticking. The spine is made for sparking those feathersticks with a ferro rod. I realize Ive previously only owned fixed blade knives in the more economical price range of modest quality, so, aside from my Henckel kitchen knives, I dont have first hand user experience to compare. Still, I am ecstatic about owning this knife. It really is the one Ive always wanted. For now at least.

Spendy for a mora, but its awesome.

3rd morakniv I returned. All were not right. Must be cheap Chinese knockoffs. Only buying Esse knives from now on.
