I just bought this knife as my first work knife. Admittedly, I bought it for the fire lighting aspect, but watching your video, I'm excited to see it can do so much more. Thanks, you have another subscriber.
Going through some of the reviews on knives I’ve had for a while, and found this one. Always appreciate your reviews, because you actually use your tools in the real world and it shows. I love this knife so much I bought a second one when I found out it was being discontinued. That one hangs on my Pathfinder bottle bag kit, while the other one is configured to use as a neck knife to complement my preferred belt knife which is usually either an Adventure Sworn Classic or my GNS saber grind. I have never used the fire steel in the handle, but only because I prefer to treat it as an emergency backup to the three other methods of fire starting I usually have on me. Just FYI, the fire steel that comes with the new Companion fire knife is the exact same size, so they’re fully interchangeable. I just prefer the multi grind of this one for its versatility. Keep up the great work and have a wonderful weekend brother.
I absolutely luv your videos and channel. Your bushcraft skills are better than 90% of the bushcrafters on youtube. Your content is far superior than most youtube vids. Hope to meet you someday. Great job David!
hello Dave i missed some of your episodes and will try to catch up . you always have a very welcoming smile and a very relaxing character that you will be missed a lot if some of your episodes are missed and your videos are clear to watch and very nice explanation . by the way i have two of those mora light my fire in red . nice seeing you again Dave
Thank you for such a nice comment, hani! I am very happy to hear that you enjoy my channel and I look forward to talking with you again soon! The red LMF looks outstanding! -Dave
Thank you brother, its great to see Mora's in action, I now have 3 in my collection, of ever growing knives, don't tell her indoors lol. I truly believe pound for pound or as in your case dollar for dollar, you just can not beat a Mora for quality and value, they punch well above there weight, I pray all is good your side of the pond my good friend.DaveUK
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! I couldn't agree more Dave and your phrase "they punch well above their weight" is excellent, as I am a fight fan. Maybe like the Nigel Benn of bushcraft knives? Haha! All is well here and I hope the same for you! -Dave
Thanks for the video. That is my backpacking knife I take with my lightweight setup. It was also my first Mora that I purchased probably five years ago now. Great knife.
Thank you for watching, Alex! It's great to hear your use and experience with this knife after your 5 years of owning. It's an excellent, affordable knife! -Dave
Maybe it's the enthusiastic tone of voice, maybe it's the in depth review, maybe it's maybelline, but your channel is different and refreshing from most other channels on youtube. You've got a subscriber in me
Thank you for taking the time to watch, sub and leave your very nice, encouraging comment, John! I really appreciate that, my friend and it's great to have you here! -Dave
Great job. Everyone is always battoning and trying to chop fallen trees with a 200 dollar knife. You really showed how well this knife served it's purpose and held up for 2 years.
I just got mine.This Mora knife is beautiful,nice handle,Fire steel is bonus,nice sheath,,,not like other Moras this one fits my hand 🤚?? I can't describe it..I got mine in Orange 🍊 and Kansbol in burnt orange 🍊 and they are AWESOME..
Great review Brother! I purchased one of these for my daughter for Christmas and it is great! I am concidering buying one myself. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching, my friend! I appreciate the kind, encouraging words! I think you would enjoy having one of these around. Nice to hear from you, brother! -Dave
Dave, great thoughts and demos as always. Thanks for sharing them. BTW, I watch a lot of knife reviews and yours are at the top of the heap, as are your pot hooks. Your "X", making a "V" shaped hook shape, seems like an improvement over the "straight across" ones I normally see.
Thank you for the very kind words, Rick! I really appreciate that, my friend! I use pot hooks often in the forest so it's probably the notch that I have carved the most. I hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave
Great to hear from you, Federico! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave your kind words and I look forward to talking with you again soon, as well, my friend! -Dave
I had this knife for a couple of years it was great all around and the fire starting aspect was great too. I used the fire steel not only to start a campfire many times but it also worked to start my white gas stove without the need of a lighter. I even skinned a few rabbits with it. Sadly I lost it but I'm gonna buy another one ... I was shopping around but it still seems like the best option for me.
Thank you, Carlos! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, my friend! You would love this knife! Always nice to hear from you! -Dave
I own only two Mora's....the Companion HD and the LMF Mora and I really LOVE them both. And I really like the fact that the two sheaths have super heavy duty clips and not closed belt loops....lots of packing / attaching options because of that feature. I bought my LMF Mora because of your old review.......sooooo...thanks Amigo!!!!
Thats great to hear Charles! I am glad I would be of some assistance, my friend! Thank you for watching and as always, it's great to hear from you! -Dave
Thank you for your review. Instead of buying for a Syrian rods I just purchased more of these knives. It's almost like you're buying a ferro rod and getting a free, since it's not much more to get the whole package.I like how thin this knife is making it so much easier to prepare a piece of wood for starting the fire. It's like a knife through butter. Thanks again.
I think you will like it and at the same time, this knife is very affordable! Keep me posted, Scott! Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave
Sounds like a couple of excellent Mora knives you have there, my friend! I love Mora knives, too! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! -Dave
Great video Dave. Nice little accessory knife as well. It is nice to be able to minimize your pack weight sometimes,especially for overnight camping. Hey Dave, on another note if you get a chance,take a look at the Silverfire Scout 304 stove. I have had mine for about two years now and I really like it. It packs down very small in the included MSR pot and is very efficient. You never have to worry about building a large fire to cook a meal or make some coffee. Let me know what you think if you get the time to look at one. All the Best, Jeff
Ordered from Amazon the Morakniv Craftline Basic 511 High Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Utility Knife. It's sharp as a razor from the factory. Unbelievable quality, thanks for your review.
That is an excellent knife and very affordable, my friend! How are you liking it? You are exactly right about the quality of Mora knives. Thank you for watching and leaving your excellent comment! -Dave
Love having you here, Christine! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, my friend! Travel safe out there, young lady! -Dave
Great to hear from you, my friend! Any time is a good time for coffee! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! I hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave
Hello David, another great video and i always look forward to seeing more excellent videos from you. I have 4 mora knifes and i love them a lot. You get a lot in a Mora for a small price. I dont have a tapered blade edge are there easy to sharpen ? Keep up all your hard work and effort. Kind regards David. A big warm hello from England UK.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, David! They sure are a lot of knife for the money! The question about the tapered tip/edge is an excellent question, my friend. I actually made a video dedicated to that exact subject - ua-cam.com/video/vzLw4s8v7V8/v-deo.html. Not only are they easy to sharpen but they take and hold an excellent edge! -Dave
Thank you for the kind words and I would highly recommend this knife! Especially for someone who enjoys Mora knives! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! -Dave
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very kind comment, Joseph! I really appreciate the support and it's great to have you here! -Dave
I have one of those black fire Knives and I love it and I also have three other Mora knives and I love those to do to there versatility and one of them I actually done a forced patina on and I like the looks of it.
That sounds great, Anthony! You cannot go wrong with Mora! Most of my carbon steel Mora knives take excellent patinas, either forced or natural. Thank you for watching! -Dave
You did such a thorough and detailed review that I find myself having a new appreciation for this particular Mora knife. I personally find the profile grind on the Outdoor 2000 and of course the Bushcraft Forest and Kansbol to be visually distracting and thus unappealing, but it looks cool the way it is done on the Fire Knives and subsequently on the Eldris.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, my friend! I actually call these type of grinds "funky'. A bit different but very effective! -Dave
Hello friend🙂 These long term use reviews are something UA-cam is lacking in. You do a great job👍🏻 do you have other knives for long term reviews?🙏🙏🙏. P.S. Don't listen to the Mora Eldris haters! They are awesome little knock knives. Plus the Lagom being your favorite I'm sure you will love the handle style
Hello my friend! Thank you for the kind words! I has several 'long term' reviews with the Lagom and the Benchmade Bushcrafter after 1 year being my most recent. I have lots of knives to do more long term reviews...lol. Thank you for your input on the Eldris and I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! -Dave
I have two light my fire knifes and really like them, the thumb place to push your knife out works really well. I once just pulled it out and because it takes a little pressure just to pull it out it came back and stabbed me in the knuckle straight to the bone. But having the thumb mold on it makes all the difference in unsheathing the knife were it comes out real smooth and you can get the knife in all different colors to match your gear or cloths. It’s is by far my favorite knife and planning to buy more in all the colors. I never use a knife for batoning or chopping, I will always use my small survival hatchet for those task sense it’s way more robust.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! Oh man, I am sorry to hear about your cut, but I agree, the sheath thumb ramp is excellent! It's a very attractive and useful knife and the number of different colors are very aesthetically pleasing! -Dave
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, my friend! I really appreciate that and hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave
Couldn't have said it better...a fantastic knife as long as you keep in my mind it is a secondary knife, great for carving and food prep. Think I've only used the included firesteel twice in the year and a half I've had mine. ;) It also is a great backup just in case though. Great video!
Appreciate that link to the monster ferrol rod ,I just ordered one and going to have it put in the butt cap of my schrade survival knife ,it will be ultimate survival knife when I get done with it ...
Great video sir. It's a good little carving knife. I fell to same about the ferro rod. The scout doesn't seem to give as hot of sparks as some other models on the market. Good for a backup though.
Definitely, my friend...I think it just doesn't have the length to shower the same amount of material as the larger ferro rods. But you are right..an excellent backup knife and fire steel. Thank you for stopping by, brother! -Dave
I have a few of the mora companion knives and love them, I will have to pick up one of those. Even though the firesteel is small, its handy to have it as a backup.
Hey, my friend! Great to hear from you! Everything is good here and I hope the same for you! I can see this as being an excellent fishing knife! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave
If you're like me, you've purchased a lot of gear over the years that just sits idle. Now that I've discovered lightweight titanium, I've pretty much switched out a lot of my stainless stuff for that. I wonder if you have ever thought of doing likewise. Btw, great video!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave your nice comment, William! I do enjoy the stainless gear that I own and have never really thought about switching it out because I actually like the extra weight in my pack, but its great to hear that it's working well for you, my friend! -Dave
I've considered this knife but thought it was "gimmicky" until your "Two year review". I'm going to purchase one. By the way, I purchased the "Monster Ferro rod" from Nathan4071per your recommendation and I love it! Question : Your two year review reminds me that we can accumulate ALOT of gear. Could you do a video showing how you personally organize your gear in the home? THAT would be interesting AND helpful! THANKS!
You are going to like this knife a lot, Michael! Great to hear about Nathan's ferro rod! The only ones I ever use! Truthfully, organization is a weakness for me so if I made one about my gear organization, it would be quite ugly..haha! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! -Dave
Good Review Dave. I am not real familiar with this Mora, Looks like a great knife to have. I like that you mentioned that the ferro is OK, but it is better as a back up. Good review, Thanks My friend!!
You are exactly right, Lee! Good backup knife with a backup ferro rod included! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment and say HI to the grandkids! -Dave
Great job as usual. I may purchase this knife for a friend. I own a bushcraft black, love it. Ever think about doing a Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro review? I strongly value your comprehensive reviews. Thanks! Keep up the great work. I am well aware of the BG haters. I am interested in the knife and its capabilities. Not the man or commercialism.
Thank you for the kind words, Kevin! I appreciate you stopping by! Your friend will love this knife. I never thought about reviewing the BG knife, mainly because it isn't really my style but you never know what the future holds...haha! -Dave
Cool video. Do you have any tips on sharpening a spine? I have a few knives that I'd like to add a 90 degree spine to but they're coated and I'd like it to be as neat as possible. Thanks again.
Thank you for the kind words, Daniel! I have a few videos where I sharpen Mora spines, including this older one here - ua-cam.com/video/ca7ooM1RBvI/v-deo.html&lc=z23vfdiquujmt5rxm04t1aokgcxnnitp433z5aidullnbk0h00410. I am not a big fan of coatings, either. I find that Condor coatings are pretty easy to sand off. Great to hear from you! -Dave
hi. is the handle comfortable despite the holes where the ferro rod can be seen? I do not know why they made them there. I've heard that the holes make holding the knife not so comfortable, but maybe it differs from person to person. Thnx.
@@HighCarbonSteelLove it's nice. I haven't used it yet. I went back to the store and bought every one they had left. Which was four. I'll probably give some away as Christmas gifts.
nice Video man. So you said, the Tang is Long like the Companion 1/2 - 3/4 in the handle?Are you sure, where do you have this info from?so it is stable like the Companion? Then it should be enough for every Person in the World in Combination with an axe :)?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, Stef! I've seen x-ray photos of the tang and I saw a video where a guy uses a magnet to find the end of the tang. I think it is pretty comparable to the Companion MG, however, I do prefer the Companion. This, in combination with an axe would make an excellent dual system! -Dave
I like Natural Knives, the Plastik - Steel Knive is o.k. best for Survival, but a Grip from Wood or Deer Horn or Woodroot - Bone Mix, ist the best. I love Puukko from Finnland. But this Year i buy me a German Nicker, Hunting Knive, vor the Summer Season. For Winter, i look for a Puukko. One Question, have You use Ballistol Oil ? In Germany its the Miracle Oil, Stomach Problem one Spoon Ballistol, Feetcare, Skincare, Weapon, Knive, Leather Care , Wound Desinfektion and If You have abdominal Influenza No Problem , my Mother need one Spoon Ballistol and the Abdominal Influenza end. Moskito or Tick bite Ballistol on it, itching ends in 20 Seconds ! Beste Grüße, Heiko
Thank you for watching and leaving your excellent comment! I have not used Ballistol but I may give it a try. I have only heard excellent things about it! I didn't know the other uses...I appreciate the information! -Dave
@@HighCarbonSteelLove Take a Look to the Swiss M 90 Rucksack, heavy Rain Proof, in Germany 13,90 € / $. Get my Rucksack yesterday. Beste Grüße, Heiko 0300 Bed !!!
my brother bought a mora knfe (without fire steel) for about 10$..and he was really happy..so ibought this one with fire steel for about 15$ and now he said its really sharp but gets dull very quick (but can be sharpened easy)..is it true? Does it get dull that fast, or did he just mishandle the blade? I got the same exact one that you got..mora/light my fire...its razor sharp..how quick will it get dull? (only planning on useing it for scraping wood for tinder etc)
Thank you for watching! I have never had a problem with edge retention with this one and it's very easy to sharpen. For your purposes, it should stay sharp for quite some time! Keep me posted! -Dave
@@HighCarbonSteelLove Update after 2 month of use..just carving and cutting food..still sharp..not razor sharp but still very sharp. Mora blades are a good deal for that low price. I had knifes 3 times the price wich got dull way faster.
Thank you for the kind words, my friend! Haha..no relation but I have been asked that a couple of times! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! -Dave
This is one of the knives that confuses me about Mora. They released the Eldris which is the same concept yet a quarter of the materials and $25-$40 depending on the one you get. IMHO the LMF is a way better purchase and tool than the Eldris, I just recently purchased the silly little thing and I'm regretting doing so. I LOVE MORA and it was you that got me on my Mora addiction, I've never been disappointed with their knives and use the Garberg as my EDC I love it. The Eldris is way to over hyped and overpriced, the Light my Fire is the same grind design and worth the money because you get the whole package unlike the Eldris. If ya haven't pulled the lever on getting an Eldris .....dont cause its not worth it, Mora has been a bit shady with their price point on this new yet old concept.
The Mora Eldris is a knife without a function, and over priced, basically under kill! I don't like the sheath either. Some guys like Dean O think that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Go figure! I think some guys just collect knives longingly gaze at them, but never use them Anyway, all you really need is the Mora LMF, or something like the Mora Bushcraft Black, and you can handle just about any task, and as Dave said, bring a larger knife for tough tasks.
It's likely because the Eldris is new. When the product is hyped up a lot, more people will want to buy it, and more people are willing to do so at an elevated price point. Also, the Eldris is designed as more of a neck knife, which is why it's so small. They're just different tools.
Msilverhammer I don't like the Eldris either... because it's so easy to get to and so useful my other knives have been sitting in their sheath for a bit😂 I think they are awesome lol
i got one .its ok its a good back up blade. its not my favourite. at least you make a 🔥 with it . garbarg is my best.and the other mora blades . a good blade for you son or girl friend .
Some people look after their knives differently than others. I clean and "touch up" my knives after every time I take them out. Being that I have many, many knives, I don't use this one all the time, however, it does have a great deal of milage on it. Thank you for watching! -Dave
I just bought this knife as my first work knife. Admittedly, I bought it for the fire lighting aspect, but watching your video, I'm excited to see it can do so much more. Thanks, you have another subscriber.

These are great. I have two. Always in my bag. Always with me when I go fishing.
Thank you for watching, John! I have heard great things about the LMF as a fishing knife! How would you rate it? -Dave
Thanks Dave, I like the follow up reviews to see how you like a product after using it for a good while. Very useful.
Thank you for watching, Bill! I appreciate the kind words and it's always a pleasure to hear from you, my friend! -Dave

The question about the tapered tip/edge is an excellent question, my friend. I actually made a video dedicated to that exact subject - ua-cam.com/video/vzLw4s8v7V8/v-deo.html. Not only are they easy to sharpen but they take and hold an excellent edge! -Dave
Very informative and educational. Thank you very much
Nice review, I was thinking of getting one of these. I already have 4 Moras. Thanks and take care.
Thank you for the kind words and I would highly recommend this knife! Especially for someone who enjoys Mora knives! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment! -Dave
Great review. Moras are almost unbeatable in quality for price. I love my Moras!
Thank you for the kind words! I couldn't agree more, my friend! -Dave
Your demeanor is awesome brother!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very kind comment, Joseph! I really appreciate the support and it's great to have you here! -Dave
I have one of those black fire Knives and I love it and I also have three other Mora knives and I love those to do to there versatility and one of them I actually done a forced patina on and I like the looks of it.
That sounds great, Anthony! You cannot go wrong with Mora! Most of my carbon steel Mora knives take excellent patinas, either forced or natural. Thank you for watching! -Dave
Here later I am hoping to get my hands on the Mora Garberg and the Eldris. I am hoping that those are as good as I've heard they are.
Have you tried the new Mora Kansbol yet it is also a great knife.
I have not tried that one. It's very similar to my Mora 2000, which I like very much, especially the handle. -Dave
Let me know what you think if you pick them up, my friend! -Dave
You did such a thorough and detailed review that I find myself having a new appreciation for this particular Mora knife. I personally find the profile grind on the Outdoor 2000 and of course the Bushcraft Forest and Kansbol to be visually distracting and thus unappealing, but it looks cool the way it is done on the Fire Knives and subsequently on the Eldris.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, my friend! I actually call these type of grinds "funky'. A bit different but very effective! -Dave
They’re not for looks but for enhancing slicing capabilities
Like this review. I've thought about getting one of these for some time now.
Thank you, Jacob! I think you would love it, my friend! -Dave
Hello friend🙂 These long term use reviews are something UA-cam is lacking in. You do a great job👍🏻 do you have other knives for long term reviews?🙏🙏🙏. P.S. Don't listen to the Mora Eldris haters! They are awesome little knock knives. Plus the Lagom being your favorite I'm sure you will love the handle style
Hello my friend! Thank you for the kind words! I has several 'long term' reviews with the Lagom and the Benchmade Bushcrafter after 1 year being my most recent. I have lots of knives to do more long term reviews...lol. Thank you for your input on the Eldris and I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! -Dave
Nice video Dave. I like mine and keep in my bag that I store in the Jeep.
Thank you for the kind words, my friend! That is a great place to keep the LMF! -Dave
I have two light my fire knifes and really like them, the thumb place to push your knife out works really well. I once just pulled it out and because it takes a little pressure just to pull it out it came back and stabbed me in the knuckle straight to the bone. But having the thumb mold on it makes all the difference in unsheathing the knife were it comes out real smooth and you can get the knife in all different colors to match your gear or cloths. It’s is by far my favorite knife and planning to buy more in all the colors. I never use a knife for batoning or chopping, I will always use my small survival hatchet for those task sense it’s way more robust.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! Oh man, I am sorry to hear about your cut, but I agree, the sheath thumb ramp is excellent! It's a very attractive and useful knife and the number of different colors are very aesthetically pleasing! -Dave
Thanks for another great video Dave !
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, my friend! I really appreciate that and hope to talk with you again soon! -Dave
Couldn't have said it better...a fantastic knife as long as you keep in my mind it is a secondary knife, great for carving and food prep. Think I've only used the included firesteel twice in the year and a half I've had mine. ;) It also is a great backup just in case though. Great video!
Thank you for watching and leaving your awesome comment, Rick! Great minds think alike! -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love exactly! :)
A+ , Nice Video. , Keep up the great work, take care, Clark
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment, Clark! I appreciate the kind, encouraging words! -Dave
I Just saw one of these at my local academy store today, I couldn't afford to pay for one today...BUT by this next week I plan on getting one.
Just ordered mine from Amazon for $16.00
I like the concept of this knife... ferro rod in the handle. I just don't like the thin blade. Nice review though. Thanks.
Thank you for watching, Rusty! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave your nice comment, my friend! -Dave
Appreciate that link to the monster ferrol rod ,I just ordered one and going to have it put in the butt cap of my schrade survival knife ,it will be ultimate survival knife when I get done with it ...
Thank you for watching, my friend! Sounds like its going to be a great setup! -Dave
Great video sir. It's a good little carving knife. I fell to same about the ferro rod. The scout doesn't seem to give as hot of sparks as some other models on the market. Good for a backup though.
Definitely, my friend...I think it just doesn't have the length to shower the same amount of material as the larger ferro rods. But you are right..an excellent backup knife and fire steel. Thank you for stopping by, brother! -Dave
Nice video. You answered some of the questions I had.
Thank you for the kind words and I am happy that I could be of some assistance, Bill! -Dave
2 year review? The knife edge still has the factory grind marks. How much uses has the blade actually had in that 2 years?
Quite a bit, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave
Not everyone sharpens all their knives on rocks and sand. It's called stropping and ceramic
That was my thought
I was wondering about you Dave, it's been a while since you posted a video. That's a nice blade.
Good to be back, my friend! Thank you for watching! -Dave
As always. Great review and good looking blade. Joshuah.
Thank you for watching, Josh! Its great to hear from you, brother! -Dave
I have a few of the mora companion knives and love them, I will have to pick up one of those. Even though the firesteel is small, its handy to have it as a backup.
You are exactly right, my friend...not a bad backup fire steel! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave
Bravo, formidable. Muy buen vídeo y bien explicado. Un saludo desde Barcelona ( Spain)
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! I really appreciate that! -Dave
Should I get one??? I already have HD,MG and regular Companion...
Hi, after 5 years of use, does the flint still hold well?
hey hey theres my buddy how are you? i have this one and its great for brook trout fishing (stainless)
Hey, my friend! Great to hear from you! Everything is good here and I hope the same for you! I can see this as being an excellent fishing knife! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave
Great inputs! Can i use this for scuba diving? Thanks :)
Nice video thank you
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, Esmee! I really appreciate that, my friend! -Dave
@@HighCarbonSteelLove no problem keep the good stuff coming. THanks :)
Thank you, Esmee! -Dave
If you're like me, you've purchased a lot of gear over the years that just sits idle. Now that I've discovered lightweight titanium, I've pretty much switched out a lot of my stainless stuff for that. I wonder if you have ever thought of doing likewise. Btw, great video!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave your nice comment, William! I do enjoy the stainless gear that I own and have never really thought about switching it out because I actually like the extra weight in my pack, but its great to hear that it's working well for you, my friend! -Dave
I've considered this knife but thought it was "gimmicky" until your "Two year review". I'm going to purchase one. By the way, I purchased the "Monster Ferro rod" from Nathan4071per your recommendation and I love it!
Question : Your two year review reminds me that we can accumulate ALOT of gear. Could you do a video showing how you personally organize your gear in the home?
THAT would be interesting AND helpful! THANKS!
You are going to like this knife a lot, Michael! Great to hear about Nathan's ferro rod! The only ones I ever use! Truthfully, organization is a weakness for me so if I made one about my gear organization, it would be quite ugly..haha! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, my friend! -Dave
Nice; good to see you Brother
Great to hear from you, tim! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave your kind comment, my friend! -Dave
Good Review Dave. I am not real familiar with this Mora, Looks like a great knife to have. I like that you mentioned that the ferro is OK, but it is better as a back up. Good review, Thanks My friend!!
You are exactly right, Lee! Good backup knife with a backup ferro rod included! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your nice comment and say HI to the grandkids! -Dave
Thanks for the video and others as well
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, Robert! It's great to have you here! -Dave
I love mine. One for my truck, one for my wife’s car.
Vehicles are an excellent spot for this knife! Thank you for taking the time to stop by! -Dave
Great job as usual. I may purchase this knife for a friend. I own a bushcraft black, love it. Ever think about doing a Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro review? I strongly value your comprehensive reviews. Thanks! Keep up the great work. I am well aware of the BG haters. I am interested in the knife and its capabilities. Not the man or commercialism.
Thank you for the kind words, Kevin! I appreciate you stopping by! Your friend will love this knife. I never thought about reviewing the BG knife, mainly because it isn't really my style but you never know what the future holds...haha! -Dave
Cool video. Do you have any tips on sharpening a spine? I have a few knives that I'd like to add a 90 degree spine to but they're coated and I'd like it to be as neat as possible. Thanks again.
Thank you for the kind words, Daniel! I have a few videos where I sharpen Mora spines, including this older one here - ua-cam.com/video/ca7ooM1RBvI/v-deo.html&lc=z23vfdiquujmt5rxm04t1aokgcxnnitp433z5aidullnbk0h00410. I am not a big fan of coatings, either. I find that Condor coatings are pretty easy to sand off. Great to hear from you! -Dave
After 2 years of use. Did it sharpen up good ? Can ya get a razor edge on it ? I seen one in store today. They only had one. The price was $14. 00.
hi. is the handle comfortable despite the holes where the ferro rod can be seen? I do not know why they made them there. I've heard that the holes make holding the knife not so comfortable, but maybe it differs from person to person. Thnx.
Great blade Dave if I'm in the market I would buy one but have wayy to many now lol take care brother
Thank you fro watching, my friend! I appreciate you stopping by and I know what it's like to have way too many..haha! -Dave
the mora's are great knife's for the money
worth every cent imho

Thats great! How are you liking it? -Dave
Thats awesome! How is it working out for you? -Dave
@@HighCarbonSteelLove it's nice. I haven't used it yet. I went back to the store and bought every one they had left. Which was four. I'll probably give some away as Christmas gifts.
Awesome
Thank you, Sean! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and for all of your support over the years, my friend! -Dave
HighCarbonSteel Love welcome :)
I do want to purchase this knife
I think you would like it a lot, Mike! Thank you for watching! -Dave
Thank you great video
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your very nice comment, dj! I hope to talk with you again soon, my friend! -Dave
nice Video man. So you said, the Tang is Long like the Companion 1/2 - 3/4 in the handle?Are you sure, where do you have this info from?so it is stable like the Companion? Then it should be enough for every Person in the World in Combination with an axe :)?
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your kind words, Stef! I've seen x-ray photos of the tang and I saw a video where a guy uses a magnet to find the end of the tang. I think it is pretty comparable to the Companion MG, however, I do prefer the Companion. This, in combination with an axe would make an excellent dual system! -Dave
I like Natural Knives, the Plastik - Steel Knive is o.k. best for Survival, but a Grip from Wood or Deer Horn or Woodroot - Bone Mix, ist the best. I love Puukko from Finnland. But this Year
i buy me a German Nicker, Hunting Knive, vor the Summer Season. For Winter, i look for a Puukko. One Question, have You use Ballistol Oil ? In Germany its the Miracle Oil, Stomach Problem one Spoon Ballistol, Feetcare, Skincare, Weapon, Knive, Leather Care , Wound Desinfektion and If You have abdominal Influenza No Problem , my Mother need one Spoon
Ballistol and the Abdominal Influenza end. Moskito or Tick bite Ballistol on it, itching ends in 20 Seconds !
Beste Grüße, Heiko
@Johan Pire
Ballistol Smel is not very nice, some Man in Germany use Ballistol for After Shafe.

Thank you for watching and leaving your excellent comment! I have not used Ballistol but I may give it a try. I have only heard excellent things about it! I didn't know the other uses...I appreciate the information! -Dave

Super
my brother bought a mora knfe (without fire steel) for about 10$..and he was really happy..so ibought this one with fire steel for about 15$ and now he said its really sharp but gets dull very quick (but can be sharpened easy)..is it true? Does it get dull that fast, or did he just mishandle the blade? I got the same exact one that you got..mora/light my fire...its razor sharp..how quick will it get dull? (only planning on useing it for scraping wood for tinder etc)
Thank you for watching! I have never had a problem with edge retention with this one and it's very easy to sharpen. For your purposes, it should stay sharp for quite some time! Keep me posted! -Dave
@@HighCarbonSteelLove Update after 2 month of use..just carving and cutting food..still sharp..not razor sharp but still very sharp. Mora blades are a good deal for that low price. I had knifes 3 times the price wich got dull way faster.
Good review Boss , By the way Do you have Any relation with "Caption Jack Sparrow" ???
Thank you for the kind words, my friend! Haha..no relation but I have been asked that a couple of times! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by! -Dave
nice

💕💁🏼Hey Lovely Dave.... 🤗😘🙏🏻👼🏻
Thank you, Patti! Always great to hear from you and say HI to everyone for me, my good friend! -Dave
This is one of the knives that confuses me about Mora. They released the Eldris which is the same concept yet a quarter of the materials and $25-$40 depending on the one you get. IMHO the LMF is a way better purchase and tool than the Eldris, I just recently purchased the silly little thing and I'm regretting doing so. I LOVE MORA and it was you that got me on my Mora addiction, I've never been disappointed with their knives and use the Garberg as my EDC I love it. The Eldris is way to over hyped and overpriced, the Light my Fire is the same grind design and worth the money because you get the whole package unlike the Eldris. If ya haven't pulled the lever on getting an Eldris .....dont cause its not worth it, Mora has been a bit shady with their price point on this new yet old concept.
The Mora Eldris is a knife without a function, and over priced, basically under kill!
I don't like the sheath either.
Some guys like Dean O think that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Go figure!
I think some guys just collect knives longingly gaze at them, but never use them
Anyway, all you really need is the Mora LMF, or something like the Mora Bushcraft Black, and you can handle just about any task, and as Dave said, bring a larger knife for tough tasks.
It's likely because the Eldris is new. When the product is hyped up a lot, more people will want to buy it, and more people are willing to do so at an elevated price point. Also, the Eldris is designed as more of a neck knife, which is why it's so small. They're just different tools.
Meh!
Msilverhammer I don't like the Eldris either... because it's so easy to get to and so useful my other knives have been sitting in their sheath for a bit😂 I think they are awesome lol
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, my friend! -Dave
i got one .its ok its a good back up blade. its not my favourite. at least you make a 🔥 with it . garbarg is my best.and the other mora blades . a good blade for you son or girl friend .
I completely agree about the LMF, my friend! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave your awesome comment, David! -Dave
so, that's great?
It's an excellent knife! Thank you for watching! -Dave
"Two years of use"Looks unused to me.My MLMF knife looks like shit.Why is that?Because i use the knife all the time!
Some people look after their knives differently than others. I clean and "touch up" my knives after every time I take them out. Being that I have many, many knives, I don't use this one all the time, however, it does have a great deal of milage on it. Thank you for watching! -Dave
Hey PUCKA its a great but disposable knife, 2 years hahaha its too long ... for watafacka use it every day muahaha - Pucka!
