    Well another great video so thank you for that ,I have a few Mora and love the Companion I have them paired with my larger blades for all kinds of camp work /bush craft jobs and have never had a problem with them. I always liked the look of the Finn series and you just gave me the best reasons to add a Finn Hawk or two to my collection .Thanks for your work it is as always very much appreciated .

    I like the Finn Hawk. Very light knife for the work that its capable of. I found myself checking if its still on my belt. I bought it to replace a Mora I wrecked on my last trip. It looks nicer and grips better. The Mora however held its edge noticeably longer. Still a great camp/backup knife.

      Thanks! I went ahead and gave the grip that negative thumb ramp for a smoother spine transition. I really do like this knife.

    I personally like the finn wolf. I keep one in my survival bag/fire starter gear bag.
    Its a bag i can grab that has everything to start a fire rig a shelter and have light to work.
    I also carry a traditional mora in my backpack.
    It's really hard to beat the folding scandi. To me its a absolute perfect survival knife.
    My idea of a survival knife doesn't aline with modern marketing. I was raised when survival training was taught with folding knives.
    An since im 55 id say I've survived. Lol.

      I just ordered an OD version to see if my bias was about the color, and to start fresh with an edge I didn't mangle.

      @@michaelrizzo5523 I can say that blue is not a very manly blue especially for us not so young. Lol mine is the old green model. I will say my most used coldsteel is a blue broken skull. But that’s a darker color. I don’t like to be one of those brand fanboys but coldsteel is hard to beat for quality and price.

    Regarding the tightly fitting sheath, I came up with a simple solution by adding a small lanyard loop at the end of the handle. I insert the pinky finger through that lanyard loop while gripping the handle. I then use the thumb to push off the top of the belt loop, in lieu of a thumb ramp. Works extremely well for a safe and controlled extraction of my Finn Hawk. Just found your channel and I am very impressed with your reviews. You got a new subscriber.

    I love mine,been my edc on the pocket for a year and a half. It's a better steel and last longer than the mora in 12c27n( companion,eldris etc,) The mora garberg in 12c28n is really good very similar to the fin hawk just heavier.

      @@michaelrizzo5523 the handle on this one is way better than the garberg, modified the garberg handle on mine with a finger groove because it's had plastic and not grippy, way too sharp for finger slips!

    I like the Finn hawk but the sheath is better on the Mora companion

      Definitely, and I've tried a few more Moras. CS fell short with these sheaths.

      I have 3 companions and a Mora Bushcraft in stainless steel with the bright orange handle. It’s ok. The blade stock is substantially thicker on the bushcraft, and the blade is rough ground all around; not a nice polished finish on the blade, like I enjoy. It’s a tough knife but I like the companion more for value per dollar and because the blade is much more slicey.
