Morakniv Garberg Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

As a hunter and outdoorsmen, Not to mention I was a Brazilian smoke house meat cutter for 4 years, where I had to sharpen my knife every day… I’ve learned a thing or two about blades. I’ve got to say, this is my first and probably my only mora. I can use this knife for many functions. It feels nice in the hand ergonomically and has a nice weight to it, not too much but enough to cut paper by its weight alone. I will wear this knife proudly in the field.

The quality of Mora is pretty well known, and for years I had a Mora companion. This is an amazing knife for anyone looking for a durable robust knife. Definantly worth the money!

Solid knife, will handle anything you put it through then some.

This is the best value blade in its class for bushcrafting. Comparable with $300 knives.

First I want to say that the general feel of the knife is awesome. It is neither too thin a blade nor too thick like the Companion that I also own. This knife blade length is just perfect also. I plan to have this knife on my belt (thanks to the leather sheath) and use it for everything. You know when you need to cut meat or cheese for a meal? Perfect knife. You know when you are fishing and you want a handy knife to clean a fish? Perfect knife. Need to dress-out a deer? Perfect knife. Need to strike a ferro rod and make a fire? Perfect knife. Need to baton a piece of wood because everything is wet and you need to get dry kindling? Perfect knife. Now, I have fantasies about a knife that can do all that and be a self-defense weapon too... not perfect, but I am not expecting to be jumped and attacked in the forest or lake. So, an ideal self defense knife would probably have a longer blade... like about 3 feet long or else a 12 long and attached to the end of a machine gun as a bayonette. But in all seriousness, I think this knife will perform all jobs I really need it for. It was paper-slicing out of the box. It shaved my hair on my hand... see photo. It is thick enough that I dont think it will ever break unless I was hitting it with a sledgehammer. And it is not heavy nor too long. A knife that is too long doesnt lend well to wood-work or carving. A knife that is too long is not really great for skinning. So, great size, great weight, great feel. I was suspicious that the lack of a quillion or guard would be a problem. It does not feel dangerous like my hand is going to slip and just slide along the blade, slicing me up. It just feels great. Some knives have such a large guard that it is actually in the way. This will be a well-used and loved knife for my outdoor adventures. Hope everyone can find their favorite knife soon as well.

One manly knife hands down right down to the thick leather sheath. Best money spent.

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.

Have only had it a few months but not my first mora. Amazing knife. Holds a great edge easy to sharpen if you know how. Yes more expensive then most Moras but it is full tang. If you’re thinking about it just get it.

This knife is everything it is advertised to be, maybe a little expensive if you dont buy it on sale.

Un excellent couteau. Solide, tranchant, maniable, le top des couteaux.
