Backstory of the knife earns you a thumbs up!
Thank you! Your fine comment earned a thumbs up and heart! :)
The Eldris is the perfect pocket knife for me. A year or two ago, I started searching for the perfect "pocket carry" fixed blade. I tried a friends Esee Izula and bought a Tops MSK 2.5, but wasn't really loving the handles on either knife. Around the same time I bought my MSK, Mora released the Eldris. I knew I had to try it. But I still had my doubts. When I first held My Eldris I could tell that the handle would not be the problem this time. It feels great, more like a full size knife. Unlike the Esee and Tops, It feels a lot more substantial in my pocket. I like this because it doesn't move around a lot. So overall the Eldris quickly became my favorite knife and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a Simple, Robust, EDC friendly, Woods-worthy knife. Sorry if this comment is a bit to long.
No need to be sorry Greg! Really enjoyed that you’ve tried different knives and still ending up liking this one the most! Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment brother!
I carry three knives. The garberg, the kansbol, and the Eldris. They all have their individual roles in my outdoor adventures. The Garberg is my knife of choice for the heavy work. The Kansbol is great for camp chores and meal prep. The Edris is just a handy knife to have for those quick cutting jobs where a big knife is a little overkill. I’ve owned all three of these knives for quite a while and they have performed so well that I have retired most of my overpriced fancy blades. I absolutely love Morakniv.
Couldn’t agree more Chase! The expensive blades do the same job and they got a real nice look but in these conditions you might as well buy three knives from Mora or like I did a knife, an axe and a saw, all for the price of a fancy knife! Thanks for your comment brother!
I just bought a Mora Eldris on Amazon and I'm really excited to get it. I love your video and I look forward to exploring my new knife here in Texas!!!
Love Texas, let me know how it is! :)
Ok, I'm really taking a shine to this Mora Eldris.
Yeah, still my go to till this day
I have had an Eldris for almost 1 year and happily use it more than I thought I would. I find I like inserting the handle into the sheath when I need extra grip. Thanks for the gaw opportunity and Happy New Year 👍😀
Great tip! Thanks for watching! Happy new year brother!
I love the Eldris so much so that I have 7 of them. I have one suspended from my steering column in my car, I have one attached to my chest pouch, one hanging from my neck, one in my pocket , etc.. they are light weight and are perfect for most everyday chores.
Totally agree!
I wish they would make a black multicam model. THAT would be epic and I’d pay the additional cost without even blinking
good thought, why not! :)
Great video and a great knife! I carry the Eldris all the time during the forest sessions, just so neat having it under the shirt and no 20cm+ rod clingin’ from the hip..
Thanks! Yeah that’s what I realized too! Even if you carry a backpack you can still have the eldris on your person, either in your pocket or around your neck! Thanks for watching Benny!
Just recently found your chanel, clean edited videos, great to the point and interesting content. Keep those videos comming and you'll reach 5k subs sooner rather then later!
Thank you so much! It’s a bit of a learning curve for me as well of course, I’m really happy that people can see the difference!
I really like the Mora Eldris it is a handy little knife. I love all the Mora knives but the Eldris is great for it's size I carry it everyday and use it. So far it has handled everything I have through at it.
Nice to hear brother! Same goes for me, I don’t feel limited due to size of the knife, it does what I need it to do and it’s a blessing to have with me when I’m not using it, it dissent take up any room
And there’s no real weight to talk about! Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!
Love my eldris; surprisingly capable!
Hey! Yeah it is! Would never have known if I didn’t try it! Thanks for watching!
Nice review Ted! I have a red one with the neck/ferro rod kit, really like it. It tend to go with me everywere and i find myself using it for almost all knife and firestarting tasks. Lighting up stoves etc. Small and light weight. I have as well an hunters axe, just the size larger than the one you had in the video. Fits perfekt in my packpack. The eldris fits perfect in my armpocket at the Fjällräven Keb jacket.
Ah! Nice didn’t think about putting the knife in that pocket!! I had the slightly larger axe before, the one made by Lars Fält, but it broke on me twice so I switched to this one! Thanks for watching Mattias!
@@TedWeirum Just wanted to give you this info, when I was lurking around for a Fjällräven Keb Jacket, I found Your YT-channel before buying the jacket. It gas grown a lot since that time, I saw how professionally your videos are made. Inspireing Ted!
Mattias Eriksson thank you! It’s been a great learning for me, all of this take hard work and dedication! At the same time it’s something that I really do enjoy! Thanks for noticing! See you in the next one!
The Morakniv Eldris reminds me of the Roselli Bear Claw which I have in the ultra high carbon steel. The handle is full sized, but the knife doesn't come with the option of neck carry. I think the Eldris would be useful as a knife for day hikes and light camping. The flatter grind near the tip for slicing cuts when prepping foods or processing game
I think you’re on point! Light camping and a great EDC knife! Since I got this one I haven’t used the Mora bushcraft black at all, this one does the job for half the size!
Yes I liked it allright :-)
Becoming a knife collector is really not my ambition, but for some reason I really want an Eldris. My main knife is a Casström no. 10 and I don’t see it easily replaced as I like it a lot. But, well, the Eldris is just so cute and still a real tool - your review leaves no doubt about that! Not sure I can restrain myself :-)
Glad you liked it my friend! :) let me know when you get one and we’ll have a miniature sword fight! ;)
Did you ever consider something such as a swiss army knife? Most of the time a Victorinox Outrider is my backup (and primary) knife, if going "UL" the huntsman. Both have a blade thats great for carving (even fixed on the outrider), scissors for cutting bandages or cordage plus a saw thats okay for smaller branches and perfect for use on a ferro rod. Additionally the awl is nice for small bushcraft works and the tweezers are great for removing ticks. I used to carry a mora bushcraft survival (none black from back in the days ;)) plus a bahco saw but for longer hikes the SAKs are much more useful and lighter :)
Main problem is where to carry them because on my regular belt it interferes with the backpack waist belt. During fall or spring I can wear my beloved long fjallraven karl trousers which have a small pocket on the left side which perfectly fits a SAK :) Too bad the otherwise pretty high tech keb gaiters do not have such a pocket and switched the smartphone place from left to right side.. damn muscle memory.. have to relearn ;)
Having small blade accessible within seconds for small carving tasks, striking a ferro rod or cutting salami is still something that draws me a bit to the mora eldris even though I probably really don't need it :)
Anyhow, thanks for the nice review.
Thanks for watching and for your comment! I do have a couple of Swiss Army knives, big and small! They are kept in my car for the time being, they are of course very useful but at the same time I find that I really don’t use all that they offer, all I need is a small knife and that’s where the Eldris turns out to be a perfect companion! I know what you mean with the Keb trousers however they are meant for a more technical use case, I would go with a pair of barents or something along those lines, more pockets and a better fit for bushcraft! Thanks again for watching!
I have a number of "bushcraft" knives of various sizes and designs which i use regularly. Lately I have been using smaller rat tail designs like Heller because of the weight/convenience consideration. I would not have any issue relying on that knife as a primary blade since I rarely see a need to baton or chop with a knife. An axe or hatchet is a better tool for that work. 99% of the time i use my knife for food processing, carving, or fire starting all of which can be accomplished with a short blade. That being said I would still like to win that S1.
Same for me! Everything you said is just spot on! Thanks for your comment man!
Hi Ted, I love the Eldris, it's a great detail knife, I carry it with my Mora Companion and my Gerber Strongarm, vital to my knife setup, Rock On!
Nice! You sound like you know what you’re talking about, nice to hear that you then also have this in your kit! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate this review as I would have passed this knife off as too short. Good things come in small packages though and the Eldris seems to prove that point.
Well spoken friend, I couldn’t agree more, this is a knife you gotta test to really understand all the benefits! Thanks for watching!
Have the eldris, would love the s1! Loved the video, great as always!!!
Thanks man! See you at 5k! :)
Great small knife but I prefer the Eldris Light Duty. You can make the spine 90 degree if you want.
What other differences are there between this one and the light duty? Sounds like an interesting knife!
@@TedWeirum The light Duty does not come with a 90 degree spine but is full scandi grind and cheaper, So it does not have that dual grind and I prefer that. For the rest all dimensions are the same.
Got it! Ok!
I really want to try the Eldris, but definitely want to own the Garberg. So I think I’m going to get my wife the Eldris when I pull the trigger on the Garberg and be able to play with the Eldris when she isn’t using it lol. Loving your channel!
Sounds like a good strategy! :) I hope you’ll like it! :)
Moras, best knives for the price!
I agree brother! :)
Just found your channel. Good stuff. Great reviews. Looking forward to a few binge sessions.
Thanks ..... cheers MG
You’re more than welcome to the channel brother! Just let know if you have any questions! :)
Hej Ted
The Eldris is a great small knife. I have been thinking repeatedly about getting one as I prefer smaller fixed blades outdoors. You simply have more control over a small blade. The main reason I didn’t get an Eldris yet is that I love natural handle materials. I own a bunch of Helle Nyings and a Fällkniven WM1/3G I have customized into a small Sami style knife. I would never part from this.
It would be nice if they would do something like that for their blades too, the price point may go up a bit but the natural fee and the environmental impact may be improved!
In Scandinavia there is a great tradition of selfmade outdoor/hunting knives. Morakniv is offering almost all blade types as blade only. So you can get the basis for a selfmade. The rest is up to gathering materials, your skills and patience. There is a good book by Bo Bergman describing the “how-to”.
Anyway an advantage of the Eldris out of the shop is that it is very rugged even under wet and dirty conditions and cleans easily afterwards.
Sounds like a cool project!
Good luck with your target Ted. 👍🏼
Aim for the stars! ;) maybe in this case it’s more of an aim for the bushes situation.. thanks for watching Dougie!
Great review - Love the videos. Well done.
Thank you! And thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for the review. Brought me into to order my first Mora, not the Eldris, but if this works out fine it will probably the Eldris next as I like the possibilty of the neck holder.
Ok cool! which one are you getting?
Mora Bushcraft in black ;-)
Nice!!! Don’t know if you’ve seen my video on it but I have that one too! Solid knife!
Not sure if you are interested😉 but just recieved the Mora bushcraft: Man, what a beautifull piece of a knive. Love it! Thanks Mate, for the review and bringing me into the Mora stuff!
You best put that thing to the test! It’s a great quality knife, enjoy! :)
Good review bring the knife to Canada 🇨🇦
sure! gotta go to Canada one day!
Like the knife and the building of the vid !
I use most my f1d, but kinda want something bigger, like a s1. Hope to win one hehe, would mean a lot. Again nice vid and looking forward to next vid!
Thanks Thomas, hopefully we’ll see 5k soon, that would be awesome! The channel has gone through a bit of change so it might take some time to get the momentum up again! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Very informative.
Thank you!
Nice review of what seems to be a handy knife...not too big but still useful. Knife is something I need to add to my gear list alongside with a pair of goggles, which should also strike a balance between their size and image quality. And by the way good job on the music front. It wasn't distracting nor too loud. Definitely an improvement. Way to go! ;-)
- Michal
Thanks Michal! Yeah this knife is a great companion, the size is its biggest benefit! :)
The Eldris knife looks and is really good and practical but I wonder how it performs when cooking and cutting food, I personally prefer bigger knifes as they are more satisfying to use and look better😅😁
I think a lot of people enjoy the bigger knives, I was the same, once I tried this it completely changed my mind! :)
Eldris looks very functional, but when I carry a traditional knife I want it to have a wooden handle (and my Helle "Nying" knife has that), plastic just does not look or feel right.
I get what you mean, personally I like the grip on the eldris, but wood is always nice!
Greetings from Finland! I allready have the eldris and i like it. But it's not as good as the ones my grandfather made ; ) Close, but not quite...
I can imagine, it’s hard to beat something that was handmade in a way like that! I know that you guys are really good at making knives! :)
5k lets go! :)
That’s what I’m saying! :) it would be awesome if we would make it!
Eldris is an underrated neck knife. Just needs to be a little thinner.
Thinner blade or thinner handle?
I meant if it could be less tall (length between edge and back spine)
Got ya!
I would love to find that axe. Could you link the axe?
Edit: never mind, found your video on it
☺️
somehow Scandinavians know how to make knives :p. I like Mora knives, I think they are definitely a good bang for your buck. Used Mora knives in the basic kit that everyone got when I organised a small bushcraft course. Then I've got a Brusletto knife that I really like as well. But I wouldn't mind winning that Fallkniven S1 in addition to the knives I currently have! ;) lets go to 5K subscribers!
Nice! I agree with you, good value! Thanks for your comment, see you at 5k! :)
Nice knife! Enjoying ur videos! I would be happy to win the Fallkniven :-)
Thanks! See you at 5k! :)
Jag hade en mora 2000 men nu blev det som för dig, eldris som primär.
Ja, jag ser ingen anledning just nu till att byta! Tack för att du tittar!
Då ska A snart få sin första kniv...😁🗡
Njaaaa, kanske! ;)
You are carrying this wrong!
Eldris translates to Suitcase Knife
Haha, I know, the thing is I forgot my suitcase for this video but rest assured that’s where I keep it! Thanks for watching!
@@TedWeirum I can promise you that you didn't forget it.
In fact you spend most of the video sitting on it....
Naah brah, that’s where you’re wrong, I got a fairly small butt and a big suitcase, I promise that you would have seen it!
@@TedWeirum That's awesome.
I suffer from detachable penis syndrome and I have a gapping suitcase.
On the bright side of I lose my dick I know exactly where to look.
That’s great!
