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

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.

Solid knife for the money. Wicked sharp out of the box and really holds and edge. Solid knife for backpacking and will hold up to a fair it of abuse.

Somewhat disappointed as I was expecting a much better product due to all the high ratings. I suppose the disappointment has more to do with the design of the product that the product itself. The blade is very sharp, the handle is somewhat comfortable and the holster is good. In my opinion, this knife should have been designed with a 2 longer blade with a stop on the handle in order to minimize the chance of the knife slipping in ones hand and cutting ones hand with the very sharp blade.

I ordered the Companion heavy duty (HD) carbon for myself and the Companion (F) Stainless Steel for my nephew. We love Mora. The HD came in razor sharp. The pictures of it online and videos of it on youtube that I had seen had the Carbon Steel print/emboss on the blade but mine came in with Carbon only. I was alarmed by it in the beginning. But I checked out the pictures on the original Morakniv website and saw pictures of the HD blade. They had Carbon only, much to my relief. I am no expert. But I would happily recommend this knife to anyone.

Obvious quality for a reasonable price

Ive only had this for a short time, but I recently took it on a week long camping trip and I used it to make kindling for our fire. Additionally, I used it to split wood by batoning. This knife is incredible! It came VERY sharp and it stayed sharp during many hours of use. I did sharpen it on my carbide knife sharpener, but that was more out of habit than necessity. The sheath stays very easily on your pants when drawing the knife which is more than I can say for other knives Ive owned. You do have to keep carbon steel dry/oiled in order to avoid it getting a patina, but you can force a patina if thats the look youre going for as well. Overall, A+! This is a great knife!

Great! Bright orange! Just as I wanted!

A fantastic all around piece of gear. Very sharp out of the box, light and easy to grip. I beat the heck out of it and it holds up great. For the money it can’t be beat. I’ll definitely get the Garberg next.

Great knife but man is it rust prone. I took it camping where it was 85% humid and the blade rusted from just sitting in my car while in the sheath. No structural damage just surface rust but still something to note. Very sturdy and sharp out of the package. Probably worth the 15 dollars if your looking for one. Update I found my photos of the knife. These photos are from just 1 night in the sheath in a humid environment
