      The Garberg does fit the sheath for both right and left hand carry. I have to say that the multi-mount sheath is really fantastic too. Would definitely be my choice over the leather and offers several options for carry.

    If you slide the retention strap off the sheath the belt loop will click into place and be very secure. It’s not designed to be installed on the sheath at the same time that the retention strap is.

    • @johnschmalbach8243
      @johnschmalbach8243 6 років тому +1

      Yeah I have seen more than a few people on UA-cam miss that. The point of the multimount, imo, is so you can be "confident" that it is secured if it is inverted, like my Kansbol on my pack's shoulder strap. If it's belt carry the "click" of the handle inside the sheath is more than enough. The belt loop can easily be stored anywhere, why sweat forcing it on with the snap retention, when being that low would make it totally useless for belt carry if you have a waist belt of a pack secured.

    • @WasabiWei
      @WasabiWei 5 років тому +2

      @@ebrak47 I own one and was about to post this. Absolutely correct. The belt loop locks into place definitively without the top-loop attachment in place. I would never use the top-loop retention if the knife was on my person. The knife locks into the sheath very solidly. I can't loosen it with normal activity. If I hold the sheath and execute a knife-throwing motion I can get the knife to come loose, but that amount of kinetic energy is not going to happen on the belt. It draws and re-sheathes absolutely perfectly. I have too many knives, Kydex included. The Garberg has the best retention I have ever come across in 30+ years collecting & using knives. The tradeoff between leather security and Kydex accessibility is no longer an issue.

    Hey there. Bertel Gardberg is a designer for Mora and Fiskars and other knives. The Mora Gardberg is a carbon steel knife and the handle can be like that because Mora makes knives for all kind of duties. Slaughterknives are different from fishing knives or other knives that are being used in certain crafts. Here in Sweden you can buy Mora knives (Mora is a city) in every hardware shop and they do not cost that much.

  • @adamaj74
    @adamaj74 6 років тому +35

    I like the full tang. Also, a lot of bushcraft knives don't have much protection to keep your hand from slipping onto the blade. Bushcrafting just doesn't really require a lot of that kind of forceful stabbing motion.

    • @adamaj74
      @adamaj74 6 років тому +14

      Use the correct knife for the job. If I'm doing something that requires me to use a motion (a forceful stabbing motion that would cause my hand to slip forward onto the blade) that could cause that kind of injury, then I'd use a knife with that protection. Bushcrafting rarely, if ever, requires that. Which is why bushcrafting knives don't have a prominent finger guard, or one at all.

    • @beentheredonethat5908
      @beentheredonethat5908 3 місяці тому

      Just to sat something that you may not have thought about. I do agree the right tool for the right job, but when it comes to knives , how often do you think people besides military or criminals think of using a stbbing motion with a knife? I alwats add electric tape to the front of my handle to give me extra protection, just in case, and it's also leaves me with tape if I need it at some point in the field. It doesn't matter what your doing, the knife on your hip is your tool and protection, you may need to fight an animal or even a bad person in the woods, in my years I've crossed some crazies out there that I know had bad intentions. I don't carry much worth stealing while I'm out there, but car keys and a wallet may be enough for them, but the rifle on my back and knife on my hip make me a target not worth trying. My main safety issue is while sleeping, and honestly at that point my knife woukd save me faster then my gun m, if I'm grabbed or hear something last minute, the rifle woukd be useless, but my knife , always on my body while in the thick, would quickly be in hand and ready to do it thing.
      Let's be honest, I'm never gonna leave my hone equipped to stab, I am not buying a fighting knife just in case, but I'll add some tape to my bushcraft knife just in case.

    The steel is definitely built to last, Maura is well known for their quality. As long as you take care of the knife it will take care of you in my opinion. I think the handle is great on the Garberg personally, but they could have added a little something just before the blade. My biggest complaint about that knife is the thickness of the blade with the scandi grind, it will not cut anywhere near as easily as say the companion or their Bushcraft knife with a much thinner blade. But, it is supposed to be somewhere in between which I think it does very well. People complain about the carbon blades and say the stainless is better, personally I disagree because carbon is more versatile. I patented my blade using vinegar and mustard and my blade never rusts.

  • @TorArneHegna
    @TorArneHegna 6 років тому +23

    I think the concept with the belt loop and the securing loop, is that the securing loop is used if you carry the knife in the molle system or as a neck knife, and the belt loop when you use it as a normal belt knife. You only have bevels on the sheet for one of them at the same time.

    My kansbol does not hold an edge as well as the companion carbon. The inox stainless tends to roll over often and can be drawn back once. After that it gets micro chips. We have sandy clay, topsoil mix. Lots of forage, harvest at ground level. That wider edge would help strengthen the edge.

    A little late to the party and not specifically a knife comment, but I really like the way she uses the fire steel. Compact motion without a lot of pointless flailing and scattering of tinder, and actually delivers the spark to the tinder instead of spraying sparks all over the place. Seems very efficient.

  • @crux85

  • @ruleroftheundersky570
    @ruleroftheundersky570 6 років тому +1

    The big holes on the bottom of the sheath are for converting it into a neck knife option; they also double as nice drain holes obviously. The Mora Eldris (which I own) has the same holes on the sheath, and it's pretty strictly a neck knife :p

  • @SkyKing101010
    @SkyKing101010 6 років тому +1

    Hi Lilly. I agree with you on every point on this knife. I think it's really quite impressive, except for the two obvious points you mentioned (blade length and reverse the handle).
    When you were working the feather stick you were having trouble making thin cuts. I thought to myself, "Turn it over and use the back edge." and immediately you did exactly that. I was impressed.
    Well, that's my opinion, for what it's worth.

  • @snaponjohn100
    @snaponjohn100 6 років тому

    The dangler loop is to be used without the snap retention attachment. That is why it appears loose. It will snap in place once the other part is removed. The snap retention is for use with the multi-mount stuff.

    They have leather sheath option. It is a very nice sheath with a flap covering the handle. You should test that.
    The thing about the handle is that it is a very hard plastic, not the usual Mora handle that is hard in the middle and grippy on the outer part.
    I totally agree about the choil. Scandis use these knives for draw cuts; something people dont usually do. It needs a deep choil or guard on the blade.
    I have one and I noticed this also. It’s not for hard work unless you are a pro scandi user.

  • @anthonyromano8565

  • @littlebull8881
    @littlebull8881 6 років тому +1

    I've owned this knife for the best part of a year now, reliable strong keeps a good edge and the sharpest spine of any blade I've ever owned, the multi-mount is secured to the rear door of my land rover permanently, before doing that I wore the mount on a webbing strap diagonal across my chest for easy access for when working, on the day this mora arrived it wasn't in my hands five minutes and I had managed to impale it through my palm, stupidly I tried to remove the securing strap with the blade still in the sheath, it was at that point I realised the inside of my hand resembled uncooked chicken strands, a few stitches later, also they are a great company to deal with and problems that occur, I remember reading about a batch of steel that had been incorrectly hardened, quite a few people were concerned after striking ferrociem rod' they noticed scaring to the spine, Dave Canterbury was promoting the model at the time so it was dealt with promptly.
    I can honestly say I enjoy working with this Mora, it drew blood so I'm happily bonded and definitly the rightful owner.
    Best of the Mora without a shadow of doubt.

  • @JAD1225
    @JAD1225 6 років тому

    Like Blue Mountain Bushcraft said": The retention strap is for carrying upside down with lanyard through those drain holes.l Then the belt loop can be used for carrying on the belt. It is designed to be used either way one prefers to carry it, but you cannot do both at the same time. Nice knife; basically an ESEE 4 in stainless.

    Very nice that Mora has finally figured out that people want a sharp spine for striking a fire starter.

    @samstewart4444 6 років тому

    In my opinion (and that of most knife manufacturers) is that a knife is for carving wood, slicing food, and skinning game. Batonning and chopping is best done with a small hatchet. The Holy Trinity of bushcraft tools are a knife, a hatchet, and a small saw. There are various sizes of all these tools, in fact I have a knife, saw, and wedge on my key ring for everyday carry. I have used my key ring knife to carve trap triggers and to skin small game,even though the blade is only 4.2 cm long. I have used my small wedge to pry boards off a pallet and to split off pieces from the board. My most often used item is my tiny saw (only 4.8 cm long) which I have used to cut plastic pipes and hoses, to make "seven" cuts and notches when making trap triggers, to cut notches in fire boards when I am making friction fires, and to square off the ends of branches so they are easier to split.

  • @MrHalilalipapi
    @MrHalilalipapi 6 років тому +1

    Just a small tip, it is possible to use the leather strap and the belt loop at the same time is you are worried about losing your knife... Obviously snap into place the strap first, then add a layer of electrical tape to the sheath and then the loop will fit perfectly too.

  • @youtubevoice1050
    @youtubevoice1050 6 років тому +12

    Yes, unfortunately the leather strap is to be used with the multi-mount only (if you carry the knife upside-down, sideways or fixed on a kajak/ car etc.). When using the belt loop you have to first remove the ring with the leather strap and put the belt-loop-ring in its place, where it will properly lock in. It's an "either A or B" situation. Not a big deal though, as the retention is fine when carried as a dangler. Alternatively the multimount offers plenty of carry options with its molly-compatibility. Just strap it to your belt with the Velcro straps, then you can keep using the retention leather strap.

    Lilly, the steel is 14C28N Sandvik stainless steel, a top steel for corrosion resistance and wear. I think for bushcraft it will be great. Great video as always.

    • @Bunczu
      @Bunczu 4 роки тому

      Top steel? Joke. There are far more superior steel that Sandvik. Sandvik is budget steel. Check steels like Bohler 390, Bohler 690, VG10, Sleipner or even D2 - K110 with more chromium and vanadium. Check 440C and so on. Knives with Sandvik 14 cost around 20 bucks at best. Gerberg costs around 100 because of being full tang, not because of great steel.

      VG10 is crap. Sleipner is ok but not stainless. 14C28N is not pricey but with good heat treatment is extra good. Tough, rustproof, great edge retention, ease of sharpening. Try to watch what real users saying about that steel.

    I like your reviews, being a large man I tend to carry a much larger knife than you do and I carry three fixed blade and one folder with me. The first fixed blade knife is very large and it might be more correct to call it a small sword or machete. It has a large, heavier blade so I can cut down trees with it if need be, process wood or dig a hole in the ground. My second is a bit smaller and thinner for things like processing game or, if the need should arise, self defense. My "small" knife is a Ka-Bar BK-9. My folders are cheap, from Walmart, I consider them to be disposable really. By that I mean if I loose one or it gets broken it's only a small loss and I usually have several of them in my pack and in my gear.
    I find that there simply is no single knife that performs all the tasks I ask of them. As far as using my knife to strike sparks with my ferro rod, I carry a flattened piece of hardened tool steel to strike with, that way I can not have top have a sharp back on my knife in case I strike it with my hand. Sometimes I forget, I'm not so young any more.
    Again, good job on your video. I'm a fan.

    I definitely agree with you that it needs a more pronounced finger guard! As someone who recently severed the tendons on his fingers due to a knife with no finger guard, I can attest to the usefulness of one! 😖😖 Thanks for the review, it was very helpful 😊

    Hi Lilly, I love watching your channel. I think you're very knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining as well as enjoyable to watch. You talked about the Mora Garbherg and I'm of the opinion that it is a very good and sharp knife but I don't think it's worth the money. I feel you could do just about anything with a Mora Companion as you would with the Mora Garbherg other than having a full tang to use as a hammer. There are other thicker, longer blades and less pricier bushcrafting knives on the market that come with nicer handles and leather sheath . Don't get me wrong thinking I don't like Mora knives, I just think that you can get a different quality knife for less (JMHO).
    Keep doing what you do; it's great 👍

  • @mmoesby
    @mmoesby 6 років тому

    I´ll recommend to get the multi mount for this knife. I have the Mora Kansbol, and it comes with the same sheath, and fits the multi mount. When I go fishing in My waders I prefer to have My knife in a cross draw webbing rather than in My belt. It gives Me easier access to the knife, if I should come to a critical situation, falling in the river or so.

  • @b4d69
    @b4d69 4 роки тому

    in bushcraft there probably aren't many scenarios where you'll be stabbing into something so a guard (between handle and blade) probably isn't absolutely necessary.

  • @1903A3shooter
    @1903A3shooter 6 років тому

    The last time I took mine to the woods I came home without it. Where it is god only knows, I had the belt loop when I went to take it off and that is all. Very good knife and I really did like it but the carry system stinks, it stinks close to 90$ worth as all I have now is the belt loop. I hope who ever found it has a nice time with it.

  • @jluvnklee
    @jluvnklee 5 років тому

    It's a great knife, but I agree with many who are not hobbyists with survival skills. I live on my own land in the country on 4 acres and will always have an axe and machete, hatchet, hell chainsaw as long as there is gas. If I have to bug out, sure this knife would be a good choice, but would also carry a Ka Bar and a machete.

  • @fv7594

    Why is everyone complaining about the lack of finger guard? Its just in the way when u do stuff reverse grip or other..
    Only way i imagine you can cut ur hand is when youre stabbing something and lose the grip.

  • @ostrobogulous1
    @ostrobogulous1 4 роки тому

    Another video demonstrated that you can keep the knife in the sheath and use the part of the blade that sticks out of the handle as the strike for your ferro rod. It's much safer. Just thought I'd pass that along! I always enjoy your videos!!!! Thanks!!!

  • @N7Tigger
    @N7Tigger 2 роки тому

    It's a great knife but I got the Bushcraft Black. The only significant difference is it is not full tang. But the Garberg is three times the price and it is definitely not three times better. And I actually prefer the Bushcraft Black's handle.

  • @jeffreyarnold2626
    @jeffreyarnold2626 6 років тому

    i know mora uses good steel, but usually too small for my big hands. i notice women seem to like them alot for this same reason. that wrap for the belt loop can be heated, and squished tighter if it's kydex or a similar material. you can also use jb weld to glue a strip of leather inside to tighten it.

  • @patrickcosgrove9180
    @patrickcosgrove9180 3 роки тому +1

    Hi Lilly,
    I did buy my Gargerg in part on your review. I liked your take on the carry system. First, I was really torn between the multi-mount and the leather...the leather sheath is really handsome, but I thought for access to the knife while carrying the pack I would have to carry on my shoulder strap because my hip belt restricted access to the knife when worn on the belt if I was carrying my pack also. Many people seem to be saying that a person couldn't have the belt loop and knife restraint over the plastic sheath at the same time, and they would show themselves switching in and out as they loaded/removed the carry case from the multi-mount...which is annoying and run the risk of losing pieces. So, after all, simple a little glue to the belt loop make this a perfect knife carry case combo. Have you had any problems with the glue you used...now four years ago:)

  • @Basharkmus1988
    @Basharkmus1988 6 років тому

    HI Lilly
    Actually you can't have the belt loop and the secondary lock together at the same time, you use the secondary lock when you carry the knife in the MM way, if you want to use the belt loop you need to remove the secondary lock

    • @SurvivalLilly
      @SurvivalLilly  6 років тому

      but I want to carry the secondary lock and the belt loop for extra safety. so i glued on my belt loop. this is not a big problem to solve

    • @Basharkmus1988
      @Basharkmus1988 6 років тому +1

      No it is not, but I ensure you that the knife will not come out from the sheath if you use the belt loop without the secondary lock, that is why we didn't made it an option to have them both at the same time, but anyway you can solve it as you want to carry, the important is that you liked the knife :).

    The long one is the Mora Pathfinder! I keep two in the back country.
    I use lanyards and an over the thumb wrap grip, so I don’t lose the knife working hard or in combat.
    We can put a Front Guard and a maple burl handle on there for you if you want.

    • @visisloth
      @visisloth 2 роки тому +1

      In combat?

    • @deanburney
      @deanburney 2 роки тому

      Absolutely. When you plan to go light and carry ONE knife on you that’s your weapon, or your back up weapon. A Garberg is a Hellacious brutal edged weapon - or has that potential. Have you ever been to the bar in Scandinavia? Everybody Carries little knives like that. I have Mora Pathfinders I stow as multi use tools I keep on me. They become defensive should I need to become a Defender. Of course since I know already that I’m “A Defender”, living in a crime ridden American city I’m very conscious of what of mine might work as a weapon.

    @scientificalan4715 6 років тому +1

    Nice knife and nice review. About the firesteel, though, I generally wouldn't use the rear of a good knife for that, some of the metal oxides produced when striking might get between the handle and the blade, and act as a catalyst to promote rust.

  • @steamboatmodel

    I do not like the look of that handle, it needs to be fuller especially near the blade. I would also prefer a brighter colour for it.

    Hi. The helt loop is supposed to go where the security strap is. Remove the knife from the sheath and then slide the security strap downwards. Then slide the belt loop up until it clicks in place.
