    I have knives that I spent $20.00 Australian on, and knives I’ve spent $700.00 on, in both instances I’ve been happy with the purchase and extremely unhappy, I always research before buying. I’m by no means wealthy, so disappointment in an expensive knife hurts more than an inexpensive one. All that being said a good functional knife is still good at any price. I’m a knife guy, not a fanboy. We can find fault in anything if we look hard enough.

I wanted to see what all the hype was about. It's a decent knife but I still haven't really given it a good try and I'm not buying any more of these.

    I mostly agree. Mora are good for cheap stuff. They now have this ash handled range that goes over 150€. I've looked at them when in Mora last summer, but nothing justifies the price. I got a Kansbol (50€ range) for camping, food prep, even did some batoning to get smaller wood blocks to start the fire. It works fine, but it needed resharpening quite often during our 3 week trip. If it was mandatory to spend 150+ €, I would certainly prefer the benchmade over any Mora.

    you seem to be taking your feelings out on the knife because of some fanboys. it's a knife...it's subjective. Not everybody that goes in the woods is fishing and hunting...but most people going outdoors are probably camping and backpacking maybe canoeing. to build fires (emergency or not), make tent stakes, open food packages because they have prepared foods from home or store where a scandi grind may be best for them and is more important than gutting a fish or slicing perfect onions for their meals. Not everyone is an expert with a knife. A scandi grind could help out those who aren't. And handle size? I have both the puuko 200 and the garberg and the 200 handle is too small for my hand...again subjective. I did enjoy the video though as it was very entertaining!

    I think the recycled steel is their stainless steel. The material of the handle is getting used to but isn't grippy enough, I would like a slightly bigger finger guard bcs of this, the carbon blade itself is great quality imo. The plastic sheath should be a little higher at the handle, since the added weight of being full tang. I also believe that the price has also increased slightly for their products since they had a change in leadership in Mora.

    • @Darrenski
      @Darrenski 2 місяці тому

      Yeah I'd agree and although mine came not so sharp as well it stropped up very easily in no time. The trick is not to strop it as a true Scandi grind, cause it isn't. I don't feel all precious about it and as here in the UK it's not a great idea to keep a knife on your belt, even (probably especially so) in an isolated forest. I can just put it in my bag, it takes up hardly any space and the shape of the sheath means I can squeeze it in somewhere or other. It throws great sparks. Even though yes I'll generally use a lighter first to get a fire going because I can, it's easy and fast, but it's also nice to know I'll get a few thousand fires out of a firesteel with it if my lighter gets wet, the flint pings out, and 100 other possibilities. It's an option and one worth having. The blade is strong as a blade ever needs to be unless you start using it like a moron and I've used it for a lot more than just processing wood. Yes there are mora 'fanboys', just like there are benchmade 'fanboys' and most benchmade guys and esee guys tend to live stateside where 'made in the USA' means this magic stamp of approval. To me personally and I'd guess to everyone outside the USA 'made in the USA' doesn't mean anything more than that. TRC who probably make the best thought-out, made and finished knives are in Lithuania... so being made in the USA only means something if you just want to.buy American. But I've found most of my most trusted gear, like fjallraven and mora and light my fire etc are usually Swedish. I'd also imagine a garberg will out live that benchmade. But time will tell. My carbon garberg cost £69 and I definitely can't complain at that. €80 is even less.

    I like the Mora Companion and their other less expensive models but their higher end models like the Gaeberg and Kransbol are not close to being worth the price. I have never paid more than $15.00 for a Mora and I never will. Anyone that does has been blinded by the light. The Companion and Craft series are great budget options that are solid performers for the money. As for the higher end models, there are much better knives out there for the same and even half the price. Everybody likes a good solid budget option but don't get suckered into paying for the name. All Moras are basically the same design with different steels and different sizes. I like the Eldris but I'm not paying $40/$50 for what is basically half a companion. I believe in buying a knife based on it's true worth, no matter what brand it is. Just like Cold Steel, they have some excellent budget options then they have wuite a few ridiculously overpriced models that are no better than their budget line up, every brand does. I am not brand loyal, I buy based on quality and performance, as well as price, no matter the brand.

    Hello my dude.
    Thank you for the provided content from you, I really enjoy your videos and shorts.
    I wanted to express my opinion on this video, because you seem somehow attacked by some people's opinions on a question you asked in a short, and from what I can see, you got affected by it.
    From my point of view, as you stated in this video, people buy moras as a "throwaway" knife, or as a reliable cheapie you can throw in your bag and not spill tears when you lose or abuse to the point to which it is unusable.
    Based on that, I do not understand why you would buy a 80 dollar Mora just to shit on it, when even you know this steers from the budget knife argument 😂
    Also, another point of view is that alot of people cannot afford or do not want to buy a 100 USD plus knife, which essentially is a Mora which is more robust, and you sharpen it less frequently.
    Sometimes it's hard to argue about a price of a knife, when you take it as a hobby, when most of the people which watch your channel might not, and they might see a knife not based on the value including the design, handle, sheath, brand reputation etc.
    Most would be like 5 inch knife, carbon steel(its hard!) And a plastic rubberised handle 20 bucks vs 100 bucks, ehich would you choose?😂
    Anyway, this is the argument I had.
    Did not mean anything hateful towards you or your content, please keep making videos and destroying toilet rolls c: and have a nice rest of your day!🔪🔪

Went for an Enzo Trapper in a flat grind which cost less than the Garberg at the time, micarta handle, N690c blade (there were only stainless Garbergs at the time), a good leather sheath and it came sharp. Never regretted that decision for a second. Do like the Mora 2000s though, the handle is much more like your Benchmade and it's a good all rounder. It's about personal preference and what you do with it though isn't it, not about telling others what their preference should be.

    Mora uses recycled steel in the stainless steels, it is like that, what is left of the residue of the stampings, plus the filings when they make the bevels that is reused again, because there is chromium in that steel, that is why they call it recycled steel, but not This is the case of carbon steel, investigate gringos, that won't hurt you.

    I guess one can allow oneself greater subjective discernment when budgets and/or frugality don't play as much of a part in the purchase.

As in the eye of the beholder, I suppose such is also in the hand of the wielder...

      @@peterbiltknifeguy fair enough if you've got your heart set on a particular steel, but I'd be hard pressed to pick a knife where the steel choice mattered less than the BM Puuko with a blade that short. For its size and geometry you could get away with any number of steels and see almost no difference in performance. As Larrin Thomas of knifesteelnerds says, geometry is really the most important factor when it comes to performance and edge retention, and that shape is just so good it would work with almost anything.
      Still a gorgeous knife I wouldn't turn down if someone offered it to me, it just seems like an odd choice if I was specifically looking for a Puuko.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself a fan boy as I only own one. I can say without a doubt it's one of two knives I will always have accessible.

    I was never a mora fan boy but I managed to pick up a stainless Mora Garberg really cheap around £37.00, I can say after stropping the life out of it I absolutely love it, to be honest if I would have paid £60 I wouldn't have been disappointed. My view is that it's pointless having a go at people's knife choice as it's down to the individual what works for them. I find you can purchase a knife because of another's recommendation and find it doesn't work for you but does it make it a bad knife, no not really. I know a couple of people with the bench made puukko and they all love it, I know someone else who got one and wasn't very impressed. As I say everyone is different it's about what works for you and of course what you are using your knife for. I've been trying out a the Za Pas ultra outdoor knife for the last 4 months and it's an excellent camp knife, I have to say I've been impressed with it.

    You know; I have always wondered why it is that Bushcrafters Insist on a scandi grind. As you said, a scandi is SO limited in what you can do with it - it may well be excellent when it comes to wood-carving, but that's it. On top of this, a scandi is SO much harder to sharpen in-the-field. I imagine that bushcrafters sharpen their knives at home, on a full-sized wet stone held securely in a bench-vice, but sharpening it in the woods with a small hand-held stone... and keeping the original scandi profile, is almost impossible. And the Garberg comes with a secondary bevel? What's the point in that?!!

Obviously there are objectively bad knives out there, but if someone prefers a mora over a benchmade they are well within their right.

If they get stolen or lost, then it won't hurt that much. They are cheap but will perform as much as the much as the expensive knives out there.
