Morakniv Kansbol Fixed Blade Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade

Best for the money.

havent had it long enough to say durability seems great now

If you are just getting into bushcraft or prepping this is the knife for you! this knife can do almost everything as well as being budget-friendly, from craving feather sticks to batoning it will not let you down. Yes, you can spend 100s on a knife that will perform these tasks but if you are like me I would rather spend the money or other gear this knife gives you that option. I have bought three of these and put one in each of my bags and will be buying my wife and kids one as well. I like the idea that I can put this knife in my bag or car and forget about it until its needed without breaking the bank.

Much more than I expected! Not only is this a first-rate bushcraft survival/hunting knife, but as shown in my photos, the sheath also incorporates a built-in diamond sharpening surface (2 1/4 x 3/8-inch) and a (2 1/8 x 1/4 diameter) ferrocerium rod fire starter on a hard band “kit” that can be tapped down and off the belt (up to 2 1/2-inch wide) knife hanging loop sheath. Kit is retained on the sheath by 3 inner tabs that lock into slots on the back of the sheath. Ferro (fire starter) rod is secured in the holder by means of a friction collar at the top of the rod that wedges into the top opening of the kit band. Also included is about 16-inches of reflective cord that I’ll use on the ferro rod. Hanging belt loop is also removable should you prefer a different carry mounting. With a simple to field-sharpen Scandi grind edge on 4.3-inch long 12C27 stainless steel blade that’s topped with a sharp 90-degree angled edge on a 1/8-inch-thick spine, you’re well-equipped for basic bushcraft tasks. You should have no problems throwing a nice shower of flaming metal sparks to help start a fire or using the diamond sharpener to help keep a working edge on this world-class knife. This knife also features what Morakniv calls a “Profile grind” with a drop point blade shape that decreases overall knife weight and lends itself to more delicate camping and food preparation tasks. With the world-renowned Swedish quality found throughout this entire kit, I have no problems recommending this great combo for hikers, hunters, and survivalists alike. Thanks for confirming your vote of “helpful” on my photo and comments. Your personal affirmation of the benefit of my work on your behalf will be noted and is greatly appreciated!

I’ve got three knives from this manufacturer: A blunt end, blaze orange model that floats, a basic green one with a narrow blade and an all-plastic sheath that clips securely to a pocket, and this one. This is a really fantastic design. The blade is wider in case you need to beat on the spine for some reason, and the handle is perfectly comfortable. Of course it’s a razor-sharp, east to maintain edge like my others. The fire starting rod is easy to use & works well. In case you haven’t bought one of these before, you’ve got to scrape the paint off before you start using this. Once that’s done, whittle some curly chips onto dry tinder, and then use the back of the blade to shoot sparks at the metal shavings until they catch. It’s more challenging than using a pint of diesel fuel, but easier to carry. I don’t see the purpose of the scalloped grind near the pointy end of the blade. It looks cool though. The sheath isn’t my favorite. I like the plastic clippy ones better. Also, the place your thumb lands to push the knife out is smaller than on my others. Still, an absolute bargain and a life long tool.

This was my first Mora and after all the stellar reviews, I was super excited to see it arrive today. Ive got to say, however, that my enthusiasm quickly dissipated when I pulled it out out of the sheath. It was immediately obvious from the nicks and fingerprints across the blade, along with the rediculously uneven edge that the quality control was lacking when they finished and packaged mine. Its not that Im somebody who worries about my knives looking pretty, but Id like them to be sharp, and I think quality control is important. You can see in my first picture how there are flattened spots that skip along the edge of the blade. Add to that the fact that the blade is labelled as a carbon steel instead of the stainless I ordered. While I can certainly understand mistakes slipping through the cracks here and there, the combination of obvious issues really became a letdown for me. While there are those who dont care much for the sheath design, I think it will work great for wearing on my belt or carrying in my small bag. Id like to try again, and hope that we can just chaulk this particular knife up to my own bad luck. Hopefully, the second times a winner. ;) Heres hoping!

For $35 this is a great knife. Its sharp as hell, and resharpens easily. The square back is useful for using on a flint. I have no complaints.

You can’t go wrong with a Mora!

I got this and took it camping it was very effective that bayanetting three pieces of wood, It’s rubberized grip helped a Absorb some shock and it was an overall great length

great bushcraft knife. super sharp. great blade design.
