Morakniv Kansbol Fixed Blade Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade

Great all purpose fixed blade. I like the shaved front of the blade for precision work. Yet the base of the blade is very robust.

This knife has the best spine for striking a fire steel that I have ever seen. The blade came shaving sharp and the handle is pretty much perfect for its intended use.

I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS KNIFE ITS VERY SHARP VERY ERGONOMIC AND VERY COMFORTABLE IN MY HANDS I ALSO LIKE THE FIRE STARTER ON THE SHEATH AND THE FACT THAT THE SHEATH IS PLASTIC WITH HOLES IN THE TIP SO WATER CAN DRAIN OUT IN WET WEATHER OVERALL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS KNIFE

You cant go wrong with a Morakniv. Its great as a backup knife.

- Size: The size of this knife is great for most outdoor activities. It is a little over 4 inches long and 2.5mm (3/32”) wide. Without the sheath, it is 8-7/8” long. With the sheath, it comes to 9-1/2” long. Sheath is 1-5/8” wide. The whole kit weighs just 6.2 ounces (177 grams)! - Steel: As the blade is made of stainless steel, it should hold up quite well outdoors and in humid conditions. I like this as stainless steel holds its edge well while withstanding moisture. Morakniv has two types of stainless steel they use, 12C27 and 14C28N, hardened to HRC 56-58. The exact type is not listed anywhere. - Handle: The light-colored material on the sides is hard plastic, while the darker wrapping material has a rubber-like feel and grip. - Sheath: The polymer sheath fits and protects the blade nicely. There are two holes in the bottom for draining water and letting the inside of the sheath ‘breath.’ I love that the sheath color matches the handle color. I got the orange version which makes it hard to lose while outdoors. - Attachments: Both the belt loop and the fire starter hold fast to the sheath but can be detached with a firm tug. This allows for lighter gear/knife when the extra items aren’t necessary. - Tang: The knife is not a full tang knife, but like most Moraknivs, the tang ends about 2/3 up into the handle. This type of tang lightens the knife’s weight while keeping it firmly attached to the handle. You can see the tang profile on the company’s website. - Fire Starter: This baby works great! Just scrape off the protective paint, and the exposed Ferro rod offers a big spark to help start a campfire. What is great is the back of the knife has a 90-degree grind which makes sparking a fire with the rod so much easier and more convenient. Perfect for any survival situation. - Belt loop: I really like this style of belt loop as it keeps the handle of the blade lower than your rib cage. This is important because if you slip and fall, you don’t want the handle of your knife to ram upward and clobber your bottom rib. - This is a first-class knife that is useful for any outdoor activity. It works great for hunting, hiking, camping, scouting, bushcrafting, outdoor survivalist, etc. - Trusted name: Morakniv is a well known name and has been associated with quality knives for many decades. The company has a long track record of making quality knives. The above review is for Morakniv Kansbol w/ Survival Kit

This is well designed and thought out. The blade/steel quality is very good. Its sharp and super easy to tune up/sharpen. The handle feels solid with a grippy (friction pattern grip) and its easy to use for most cutting tasks. The sheath holds the knife snug and securely in place and its easy to remove quickly. The ferro rod lives in a solid snug sheath that is removable from the knife sheath and holds it in place solidly. It is a good size, is easy to get a stable firm grip on the handle and it is easy to get a good effective strike. The ferro rod sheath also has a diamond media sharpening strip attached to its outside edge for blade tuning. I really appreciate that they made the sheath design modular meaning that the ferro rod sheath can be easily removed for any blade sharpening/tuning and the belt loop can also be removed which is great since the knife sheath fits perfectly in a molle loop and since the sheath is made of plastic I can also add a strip of velcro to attach to a molle backpack or vest. This knife is a great value for the quality, good design and what is offered in this kit.

great bushcraft knife. super sharp. great blade design.

What do I need to say about these knives? They are simply the best, most durable, fail proof, and sharp knives I buy. This one is in my fire kit. The 90 degree spine is perfect for a ferro striker. Orange is a great color for if you drop it while out in the woods. For the money, you cannot beat this knife for what all you get.

I love mora knives. This is a very good knife but there are others that are better. The finish on this is less perfect than others.

Love it made well and will buy it again.
