MoraknivCompanion Stainless Steel Fixed-Blade Knife with Sheath, 4.1 Inch,Black

The Mora Companion has been around FOREVER, so I don’t know there is much I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. It’s inexpensive, it can take a beating and just asks for more, the Scandinavian grind makes it perfect for wood work, and it’s thin blade also makes it quite adept at slicing and dressing out small to large game. It doesn’t slice as well as a thin, full flat grind, but it comes close enough to not disappoint.Although I would have preferred the carbon steel — and would recommend that version to anyone in a dry climate — I live in an area where humidity is an issue, so I opted for the stainless steel model. I use both carbon and stainless knives, and, honestly, other than being slightly easier to sharpen and a bit less likely to snap under stress, modern stainless steel is just as good.My only constructive criticism is the sheath: the blade snaps in and hold securely, but after some use, it will fall right out unless you keep the sheath/blade perfectly upright. But this IS NOT a mark against the blade. You can buy Kydex and other aftermarket sheaths online, but they are about 2 to 3 times the cost of the knife — around $25 to $50 as of writing this post. Worth it to me, but most people probably wouldn’t be cool with a sheath costing more than the knife. The sheath it comes with will function just fine. But be careful not to lean to far forward while carrying it, or the knife will slide out.The knife fits my hand very well, great ergonomics, and I have large hands. But even smaller hands will find the handle very comfortable, and it will not move around in your hand while using it. So far, the handle has ZERO hot spots. All-in-all, I DEFINITELY recommend this knife, or any knife by Mora. For the price, durability, and an awesome warranty, you just can’t go wrong.

Really impressed with how sharp and durable this knife is right out of the box. It’s great for camping and basic outdoor tasks, super easy to handle. The grip feels sturdy even when wet. For the price, it's honestly hard to beat.

I got this for bushcrafting and so far im beyond impressed with how comfortable and sharp it is. Easily the sharpest knife I’ve ever had straight out the box. Shave your face sharp. The sheath hold very well with a very grabby clip. The only reason for holding the last star is the spine is a 90 but polished so im not sure its a sharp 90. But but but i think I will change that because they crushed every other box. Feels like im holding a high end knife and in my eyes it is but for the price im only looking at morakniv for my future purchases. The sheath with the steel would have been nice but once again I would not expect it at the price point. Great craftsmanship Morakniv!!!! Update. The heel of the blade chipped a little and I have on fiddled with cutting a chopstick. So for whatever that’s worth, there you have it

The Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Knife, in my opinion, is probably the best overall fixed blade knife for its price to quality ratio. The knife costs a little over $15 for the black handled one, but man you get so much worth out of it that it probably pays for itself over and over again. Morakniv's have been made in Mora, Sweden, since 1891 so needless to say they are very proud of their knife making abilities, and it shows in the knife's overall craftsmenship. The blade on the knife is made of hardened high-quality Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which provides excellent edge performance allowing for razor sharpness, a high hardness rating (HRC 56-58), and exceptional toughness and superior corrosion resistance. The overall length of the blade is 4.1 inches and 0.1 inches thick, the overall length of the whole knife is 8.75 inches and it weighs only 4.1 ounces. This knife comes extremely razor sharp right out of the box. The handle is made out of a rubber that's patterned, giving it a high friction grip and making it very easy to hold and grip no matter the task at hand. It does come with a black plastic sheath with a belt holder, but this is the one weak spot with this blade, as it does allow for the blade to move slightly in the sheath and it doesn't offer superior protection like a kydex sheath would. Still, it's a nice compliment to have for the blade, and you could always upgrade the sheath at a later time. This fixed blade outdoor knife is perfect for a variety of outdoor activities, including making fire tinder, cutting wood, carving wooden tools, prepping food, making sparks with a Swedish fire steel, and much more. Every outdoor enthusiast, camper, survivalist, and anyone else looking for a solid, dependable knife should definitely add the Morakniv Companion fixed blade to their collection, and watch it outperform the majority of your much more expensive blades. I will be buying multiple Morakniv's in the future for friends, family, and even myself. This is my EDC knife.

I learned about Morakniv from a friend. Looking for a general use outdoor knife, I could not be happier.At this price, I discovered what many other people already had: this knife has value that is hard to beat.It slices well, coming razor sharp out of the box. I had no idea what a Scandi grind was until I researched Mora, but it is clear that this thing will perform in most tasks I throw at it. It's incredibly light and deceptively strong.The handle was very ergonomic for my big square hand, and the rubberized part gives a firm and confident grip. I can stab, slice, whittle, etc. fluidly.I added a Kansbol for slightly more specialized tasks, but if I was bringing only one blade, the companion is so versatile it can stand in for almost any task I can think about camping or hiking. The sheath might wear out with a lot of use, but is snug, and some people recommend heating it under hot water to tighten it up if it starts to get too loose. Otherwise it seems very safe when sheathing, unsheathing, and when handling the knife.There is apparently a growing community of people who do things like baton knives. I don't do that, so I can't speak to it.
