Morakniv Kansbol Fixed Blade Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade

You can’t go wrong with a Mora!

I am no knife expert, but I do have a handful of pocket and short-bladed utility type knifes (kabar, etc.) When I saw this on Vine, I thought it might make a nice addition to my hiking backpack or camping-gear box. I hadnt heard of Morakniv, but did a little research and learned they make quality knives, made in Sweden. So far, Im very impressed! The clamshell packaging it came in is nice enough... nothing super special. I wish it was a tiny bit nicer, considering how nice the knife is, and so it would make a better gifting experience. But its fine. But once I pulled out the knife and had it in my hands, it felt GREAT. You can just tell its nice quality immediately... the grip is a wonderful size and features a grippy rubber material, and the blade is stout and just feels like a real TOOL that will not only cut well, but pry like a champ and stand up to whatever you throw at it. Weight is perfect - heavy enough to feel solid and quality, light enough to carry easily. Nicely balanced. Really, really nice overall, and I feel like it will LAST. Kind of reminds me of the very nice scuba diving knife my dad used to have. The sheath also seems nice. Its a hard plastic that seems durable, and the knife gives a gentle click as the rubbery grip slips into position. I dont think it would ever slip out. The belt loop is a generous size and features various holes/slits for alternate attachment. The firestarter is a great bonus that adds some functionality that might come in VERY handy someday, without hampering the everyday function of the sheath. The sharpener is another great bonus. A lanyard is included, and it seems fine; not sure if Ill use it. The only question I have is value; not compared to other, cheaper brands - I think you are getting a big bump in quality and design with Morakniv, compared to cheapo blades - but compared to Moraknivs own knives! Their Companion model is highly rated and super duper cheap - you might want to look into that if the size/build/survival aspects of this knife arent necessary for you. But overall, this knife really impressed me and I would definitely look to Morakniv if I needed a new knife in the future. Ill be carrying this with me a lot on hikes/backpacking trips now for sure. Recommended!

I love knives and adding this to the group I keep & use on a regular basis. The blade is stainless but no idea it’s hardness as it’s not marked with anything else. Keeping it sharp reminded me of sharpening my kitchen knives vs some of thicker/heavier hunting blades but for what ever reason I like it, the blade locks in the sheath tightly as does the fire starter stick. Well worth it for me so I recommend it.

Great knife with a solid but slimmer blade profile. Gave it to my buddy to use for gutting deers. A few deers in, and the knife has gained his bloody seal of approval. Great product, may have to buy one for myself one day.

What do I need to say about these knives? They are simply the best, most durable, fail proof, and sharp knives I buy. This one is in my fire kit. The 90 degree spine is perfect for a ferro striker. Orange is a great color for if you drop it while out in the woods. For the money, you cannot beat this knife for what all you get.

Great knife. Having a fire steel and sharpener attached to the sheath is super.

I seem to have gotten a returned knife. The tip was chipped, like someone tried prying with it, and there were fingerprints and plier marks on the blade. Starting to like Amazon less and less.

If you’re like me you bought a lot of mora’s It’s definitely mora Quality

Beautiful knife great for hunting/ fishing

- Size: The size of this knife is great for most outdoor activities. It is a little over 4 inches long and 2.5mm (3/32”) wide. Without the sheath, it is 8-7/8” long. With the sheath, it comes to 9-1/2” long. Sheath is 1-5/8” wide. The whole kit weighs just 6.2 ounces (177 grams)! - Steel: As the blade is made of stainless steel, it should hold up quite well outdoors and in humid conditions. I like this as stainless steel holds its edge well while withstanding moisture. Morakniv has two types of stainless steel they use, 12C27 and 14C28N, hardened to HRC 56-58. The exact type is not listed anywhere. - Handle: The light-colored material on the sides is hard plastic, while the darker wrapping material has a rubber-like feel and grip. - Sheath: The polymer sheath fits and protects the blade nicely. There are two holes in the bottom for draining water and letting the inside of the sheath ‘breath.’ I love that the sheath color matches the handle color. I got the orange version which makes it hard to lose while outdoors. - Attachments: Both the belt loop and the fire starter hold fast to the sheath but can be detached with a firm tug. This allows for lighter gear/knife when the extra items aren’t necessary. - Tang: The knife is not a full tang knife, but like most Moraknivs, the tang ends about 2/3 up into the handle. This type of tang lightens the knife’s weight while keeping it firmly attached to the handle. You can see the tang profile on the company’s website. - Fire Starter: This baby works great! Just scrape off the protective paint, and the exposed Ferro rod offers a big spark to help start a campfire. What is great is the back of the knife has a 90-degree grind which makes sparking a fire with the rod so much easier and more convenient. Perfect for any survival situation. - Belt loop: I really like this style of belt loop as it keeps the handle of the blade lower than your rib cage. This is important because if you slip and fall, you don’t want the handle of your knife to ram upward and clobber your bottom rib. - This is a first-class knife that is useful for any outdoor activity. It works great for hunting, hiking, camping, scouting, bushcrafting, outdoor survivalist, etc. - Trusted name: Morakniv is a well known name and has been associated with quality knives for many decades. The company has a long track record of making quality knives. The above review is for Morakniv Kansbol w/ Survival Kit
