Greater than one weekA curiosity. Maybe a good extra in camping stove setup...Perhaps it was badly heat treated or something but blade looked burnt and is very brittle..strange geometry grind..would be good for batoning...little things..:} otherwise Im wishing it was of a bit tougher steel. 14c maybe not 12c..not sure what to do with it, too fat for pocket.

> 3 dayMy 8 year old son, needs to know how to use a knife for Boy scouts and got this as sort of a learner knife. The handle is robust and the blade is short, but extremely sharp. The sheath holds it securely. Very good knife.

> 3 daySeems like some people here have a pretty vague idea about how knife steel works. A steel is considered stainless when more than a certain percentage of chromium and/or vanadium is added to the alloy to make it *more* resistant to rusting than regular steels without them. Non stainless steels will oxidize when exposed to air, or certain acids such as when cutting fruits. Steels that are considered stainless WILL still rust when exposed to the wrong chemicals, or mistreated, and there is a wide variance in the corrosion-resistance of various stainless steels. A $5 Walmart knife will typically have a blade that is very corrosion resistant - and also one which is abysmal at holding an edge. A knife like this is made out a steel with a much lower corrosion resistance, but which is much more suitable to taking and holding a fine edge. This is why knife and steel reviews invariably rate corrosion resistance among the various pros and cons of a material. Corrosion resistance, edge holding, ease of sharpening, toughness, hardness, ALL steels are a compromise between these points, and every steel scores differently on different categories. Stainless steels are simply ones that are more inclined towards corrosion resistance than regular carbon steels, but some are much less so than others. Like carbon steel is usually considered superior as a blade material BESIDES being easily corroded, real GOOD stainless steels for knife making also tend to be more prone to corrosion than steels that are engineered with corrosion resistance as a top priority. That is to say, Mora is more concerned with making a knife that will take and hold a good edge than making one that will always stay pretty and shiny. That said, under NORMAL use (i.e. not in a salt water environment) it should not rust or discolor easily. If you DO want to work in salt water, perhaps you should pay more attention to exactly what type of steel you are buying, instead of relying on the magic words stainless steel to guarantee your knife stays 100% rust proof. ALL steel can rust. Even so, I doubt a Mora will rust if it is washed THOROUGHLY after using in salt water, carefully dried, and then oiled lightly, especially if you are staying near the salt water, where there is salt spray in the air. Salt water is not considered normal use for any knife, it is considered extreme conditions. Salt is a super aggressive enemy to steels, and complaining because some discoloration showed up after using it is like complaining about a truck being shoddy just because the suspension needed to be repaired after you spend a day doing jumps off of sand dunes with it. Personally I cant imagine why anyone would care about a little cosmetic rust. Just buff it off wit some emery paper, so what if your blade isnt perfect and shiny any more? Is it a working knife or not? You arent going to effect the function of the blade at all, unless you leave it sitting in brine overnight, and even then it shouldnt be hard to clean the rust off and re-sharpen the blade. Whining because the blade of you $30 working knife discolored a bit after using it in salt water is just silly. If you really think Walmart bait knives are better just because they stay shiny without any work, go ahead and use those instead.

> 3 dayAwesome knife! I now have retired my old folding knives and use this as a daily carry. I am most surprised by how light it is!

> 3 dayThe sheath allows the knife to snap in place. The scandi blade is easy to sharpen.

Greater than one weeki take it with me when im out in our warehouse, i mainly cut shrinkwrap or cardboard and it does it with ease. i gave it a nice edge with my wet stones because it wasnt super sharp when i first purchased it. overall happy with it
