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

This knife is a quality piece of equipment and an excellent starter knife or backup knife for anyone who enjoys being out in the bush. It is surprisingly durable for a knife without a full length tang and the steel is of good quality. However, out of the box this blade is a little disappointing. The knife will come from Mora without a nice sharp grind on the back of the blade, making it impossible to get a spark from a fire steel using this knife. I used a file to grind it down to a nice sharp angle and have had no issues since. As for the edge of the blade, Im not sure if I got a sub-par batch or something but my edge was not very sharp like I have seen in many videos and reviews. The blade barely cut paper and was far from shaving sharp. I could run my finger across it with moderate pressure and not worry about cutting myself. The knife needed sharpened but now holds an edge just fine. In my experience, out of the box the Mora Companion is a solid knife that needs a small amount of work. But once completed, this knife is exactly what I need it to be. I would recommend this knife to any of my friends that may be looking for a basic starter knife or a backup knife for the woods.

great knife. light weight. Cuts like butter. Heavy duty blade makes me feel secure.

I waited to do the review of this knife until I had a chance to run it through its paces. I just finished the Byron Kerns 3 day bare bones survival course http://www.byronkernssurvival.com/Courses.html, and this knife shined. During the 3 days this knife cut cordage, skinned and butchered a rabbit, sliced meat for jerky, whittled a spoon, cut and sharpened wood for making an improvised rake, and acted as a striker for at least 3 fires. It was pretty dull after the 3 days, I got home, busted out the steel wool to clean up the blade and quickly put an edge back on it with a stone. I also like to carry my knife around my neck not on my hip and this knife was light and small enough to do that. The only thing I did to the knife before I used it was to file the spine to a solid 90 degrees to get a good edge for the ferro rod.

This isnt a high-end blade, yet its high quality especially for the price. I would expect a knife like this to sell for $30+. It works on rabbits and packages, its a good starter fixed-blade knife with an easy to hold grip. The clip on the sheath also works decent, no need to take off the belt and put it on. Its a little thicker than you might expect for a knife this size, which is good to me. After a few years since I have owned a Buck Nighthawk and Ka-Bar (I have reviews for each, out of date though) I will say this isnt as tough for brutal work as the Nighthawk nor as good as the Ka-Bar for a duty blade, but its quality is beyond the price range which is good for me. Makes a good gift for a young man in the family who likes the outdoors.

Great product own a few of them

All 4 came sharp as ****! I could literally Shave my face with them. All sheaths came in perfect condition, imean for the price its one of those f*ck it buys. Warning they do rust, I read the other reviews on this topic and they rust faster then I thought so be sure to coat your knives in like wd40 or something like that, I use Rem oil. I first fount out when I decided to out on in my tackle box, used it left just a few drops of some fish blood and water on it and in literally a few hours I noticed the starting of rust specs so be sure just too keep them oiled. I guess in a bug out situation id use animal fat maybe or just keep it really dry at all times. Also the knife stays sharp for a long time and is easy to re sharpen too! Love these moras I

Very nice and I actually like it more than the more expensive bushcraft black Mora and its 50 /70 $ and this one was only 15$ what a deal!

My husband loves this knife. VERY SHARP!

Great Knife and a flawless ordering as well as shipping. Cant wait to use it camping in the spring.

Nice little knive. Scandic profile, easy to sharpen. Ideal for bush craft, field dressing. light weight and good grip. Not the most tacti-cool knive out there but for the price you get a really nice knife. The sheath you can love it or hate it but it is actually pretty convenient.
