Morakniv Garberg Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

Before I ordered this knife I was looking for some of the reviews and one thing that stuck out to me was that the knife was it as sharp as some people I think it should be coming from the factory. The blade is pretty sharp its definitely not the sharpest but a simple V style sharpener cleaned up the edge really nicely and I was able to shave arm hair. I put it to the test and carved out some feather sticks and used the spine as a ferro rod striker. It did the job. you will get discoloration from the ferro rod on the side of the knife but it doesnt seem to stain it so you can wipe it off with a dry rag or in my case my pant leg. The leather pouch does not have a plastic insert but it feels good enough quality and the nice fits snugly in there.

Hands down the most durable knife I have ever used! This thing is built for longevity and strength

With time and patience this will be a great knife, but it should have been a great knife right out of the box. First impression of the Garberg, feels great in the hand, nice weight, decent blade thickness, nice square spine, but Wow!, this knife is dull. And not just dull, its a course Scandi grind. Yuck, I have several $15 Mora Companions that Ive used extensively over the years All of them had a far superior finished edge and a much finer, polished Scandi grind than this Garberg. How bad is it, when I drag my fingernail down the cutting edge it chatters, feels like the edge of a file. Why Morakniv would allow the Garberg to ship with such a foul, rough, unfinished edge is dumbfounding! If I didnt have a nice collection of bench stones and strops I would return this Morakniv Garberg. However, I know in a couple hours this will be a great knife. If this course grind and edge is the norm I dont recommend this knife.... Unless youre prepared to take on the finishing and polishing of a Scandi grind or you dont care about the Scandi grind and will settle for a secondary bevel. JMHO, Huge Morakniv fail Update, with pictures Finally got the Garberg on the bench. Took the Scandi grind to a nice field polish with a stropped edge. For me it was worth the extra effort, just part of the hobby. But like the title says, is not for everybody. This is just to help you decide. 11 months later I changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars. The Garberg is pleasure to work with. It has held up great, and has been pretty low maintenance. Takes an edge in a reasonable amount of time and keeps the edge for a long time when used within the boundaries of its purpose of use. As expected the square spine will rain sparks from a good fero rod. Its lot of knife for the money.

Im not a knife guy but I know a good knife when I use one. This knife, full tang, is an excellent value. I have paid considerably more for a knife not as well made as this one.

We’ll made, good design; but Dull. Don’t expect the black coating to remain on the blade after sharpening.

Couteau conforme à la description et aux photos. Je le conseille pour les sorties montagne et le bushcraft.

Rust day after first use. Not sure how to remove rust without removing black paint . It states its a coating but seems more like paint.

Despite reviews to the contrary, this blade is INSANELY sharp. The spine perfectly flat ground with a slight burr to the edge for a Ferro Rod device.

Awesome knife, sharp otb , didn’t know if I’d like the sheath..but it’s a great design..definitely help with the 1095 rust issue

Schäfe und Robustheit sind unschlagbar
