Morakniv Garberg Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

There are no fixed blade knives on the market for the price as excellent as this one. Moraknivs attention to detail is unequaled and the only way you could beat this knife is to either spend ALOT more money or buy a custom blade and even then you may not be as satisfied.

Horrible pricing. So the price went from like $89.99, to $78 on sale. I purchased it at that time. Then a day later they dropped it to $76. Then like 3 days later they dropped it to $74... This is a very terrible predatory way to do a sale... I should have returned and reordered it to get $4. I recommend NOT purchasing this unless its under $75, as it will go down that low after multiple price drops. Do not buy during the first price drop, as more will follow. Knife seems good and durable. Arrived quite dull, has a hard time cutting through thin cardboard (junk mail advertisements). Be prepared to have to use a whetstone to sharpen this when you buy it.

Start here.

Garberg Carbon Steel, poly sheath, 08Dec2022. Looks factory grind (w micro-bevel), but arrived surprisingly not sharp (def not what I expected, not dull, but way short of sharp). Price dipped on Amazon, so grabbed one, but prob got 1 of some kind of mass production I guess, hence the drop in price (sharpness?). Still a great full-tang, and was planning to re-profile anyway, so factory edge maybe not so important. Grip is okay, wish the hilt/hand guard was more pronounced. Unlike Companion, Garberg is ambi-dexterous in poly sheath. Note that the Hypalon belt loop (included) is the only way to attach knife/sheath to a belt/molle in this configuration. I will definitely need to replace/mod that, it will never hold up. So, wait for a good price, consider re-profiling, and search for custom sheaths. At least thats what I did, or am doing. -JD

Read all the one star reviews and all of them had to do with sharpening issues! Maybe the QC department needs to be relooked at Morakniv, but my knife was sharp as hell out of the box and withstood a day out in a bushcraft setting well! The full tang makes for a sturdy platform to pound through limbs up to four inches in diameter at a perpendicular. (I pulled the knife out and cut through from both sides.) Works if you dont have a saw. Blade sharpness wasnt phased. Cut stakes, toggles, and widdled the rest of the day and used it as a steak knife later for dinner. I opted for the leather sheath for nostalgic reasons, but am considering buying the poly sheath as well. Im sure the knife will far outlast the rawhide. I would have sent it back immediately had the blade arrived dull. Kind of stupid review to complain about a possible bad batch in the manufacturing line. Morakniv is a very reputable company. As I said, maybe they need to relook the QC department - post production! Im very content with the quality of this knife!

It works very well, at least in the situations Ive tested it. In my case I bought the accessory to install the Garberg in the molle system. which makes it possible to have it at hand.

simple, durable, and gets the job done.

Absolutely a great knife for outdoors

As soon as you take it out of the package, it becomes immediately obvious why all of the bushcraft and survival guys on YouTube are using this knife. Quality is apparent. Feels like it’ll take a stampede to break it.

Knife is well made! I am excited to test it out in the woods!
