Thanks for the link. These days, many items on Amazon are Chinese knockoffs (Yeti mugs, fountain pens, etc.). It's hard to know which are legitimate without ordering or someone vouching for them.
when you said dala häst i was like is this guy swedish im swedish and thats realy good
You cut the leather off, that would be a mini strop, would it not?
Wranglerstar Cuter than a bug's ear = (in swedish) Sötare en än insekts öra
English:
Cuter than a bug's ear
Swedish:
Cuter än en bug öra
Recently I've gotten tired of black and OD green, cause I learned that if you drop something that color in the woods, it suddenly isn't a very cool idea anymore
Exact reason I bought my in orange. Got tired of losing black and od green knives on camping trips or outings.
Totally true, don't know how many times I would have lost my mora companion if it wasn't neon green.
That's why I tie a fluorescent green paracord on all my outdoor items. .
Yep, exact reason why my standard big Mora is in the light blue from the video - you spot it from metres away.
Funny thing. You know Mora 2000? There is an orange outdoor variant of it. I know way more people who have lost the outdoor one that the more popular original green one. Personally I've never lost a knife or other piece of kit. It is more about the mindset and level of organisation than the colour of your tools.
2:16 it doesn't have a breakaway lanyard, but the instructions are pretty clear on how to tie the lanyard with a slipknot so it will pull loose if it gets caught up. I know us PNW guys tend to think instructions are just for East Coast folks, but sometimes they are helpful.
Speaking as a Texan: instructions serve a purpose. They exist for a reason. Instructions are basically what the purpose of cataloging knowledge is: making things easier to accomplish so that we aren't constantly reinventing the wheel
Also couldn't we just pull the knife out, and cut the cord?
@@BigPoppaOnAQuad This.
Thats one thing I hate about this guy. Eventide he says it he usually fucks up and act super pretentious
i own a couple neck knives but i tie them to my belt loop i dont understand why people wear them around their necks i find it crazy uncomfortable
That little "safety" strap can be modified into a belt clip....call me crazy.
I was thinking hanging it on my hiking pack and using the strap to stop it from falling
No modification necessary you saw how he moved it to the side, I think that’s all that’s necessary
@@appalachiashellfighter2269 or turn it around
Simply, perfect. I thought the same thing here
The leather tab you cut off was for gripping the “fire Steel” ferro rod. Oops.
The sass is immense
If it had a "purpose" why did they choose to make it a tag? I always cut the tags on everything I buy, they are annoying.
@@TheElari Oh well, because why not? If they thought of adding a tag it would be another piece of material hanging of there. It's just a little nice detail, and it's practical.
@@TheElari cause it isn't a tag, it's an accessory for the Ferro rod that happens to have the companies name on it
lol
6:51 "It's cuter than a bug's ear", Translate that in to Swedish. Ok. "Den är sötare än ett kryps öra". There you have it. ;) Greetings from Sweden
Thanks 🙏 all my love and friendship to the great people of Sweden 🇸🇪 from Scotland 🏴
I was gonna ask if it made any sense in Swedish but it doesn’t make much sense in English either...
Stick the knife back in the sheath (backwards) and you can increase the handle length.
CMV 72 And it'll come off. Thats a dumb idea.
Name Name they purposely designed it to stick good in.
Alexander Willemsen You positive? it looks like it would fall out as son as you did something even slightly harsh.
I have the knife. It fits in tight. I also talked to a mora rep who showed that quick tip to me.
CMV 72 why don't people just take advice? Lol
I'm from Mora MN, the sister town of Mora Sweden. It's amazing how few people understand the knife culture there.
“And anyone who says they actually use a neck knife are a liar or a poser.”
Cody Lundin has entered the chat.
Finally something we can afford on the wranglerstar channel
I am from Sweden, and first I thought "that's not a Swedish product, it has no breakaway lanyard", and two seconds later you mentioned it. You are SO RIGHT about how safe we are.
@Kilo Byte you're supposed to tie a slipknot that breaks away
@Kilo Byte cord versatility?
@Kilo Byte it's not hard to tie a decent slipknot.
@Kilo Byte Pal, learning how to tie a slipknot takes less than 10 minutes and a google search. If you can't be bothered to do something as simple as that, you're not ready for camping.
That's true. You even design your furniture to fall apart for safety. Ikea.
“Did you know that left handed people don’t live as long as right handed people?”
*Me as a left handed person* 👀 “what did he just say?!”
Yup,lefty here also, our lives not so long cos of having to put up wif everything being made to righties n pissing us off constantly
😂
@@vincentng3194 im left hand ed as well i feel ya
@@vincentng3194 maybe not getting pissed, but a risk from not being tailored to your hand
I forget the number but theres a good number of of left handed people dying because something was tailored to right handed people
I wouldn't call this a survival knife, its more of a utility/whittling knife
How about a comparison test between all the budget bushcraft type knives? Mora. Hultafors, Cold Steel, etc.
shopnwoods Go check out the channel Dutch Bushcraft Knives. Micky and Maarten have a different take on videos, but they do a lot of reviews and comparisons between knives.
Cory Riedel there are a ton of channels that do comparisons. I figured we would all enjoy wranglerstars opinion.
Wranglerstars' opinions >>> others/randoms
Just picked up one of these not to long ago. Love this thing. I carry a mora on my boat, out back, and hunting. A great brand all around
I have actually used a neck knife while wade fishing, though not one as fat as that. I do love my Mora's though, I started using them when I was working underground as a miner in the 1990s. A lot of mining equipment came from Sandvik-Tamrock and they threw in a case of knives with everything. After a while, every damned Tennessee hillbilly working in the zinc mines had a Mora tucked in his overalls.
There's always been a deep connection between Sweden and America, always fascinated to hear about new ways I wasn't aware of
Most dont know: If you plug the sheath on the handle you get a longer grip (or a sheath holder lol)
next series- best budget power tools on Amazon.
James _h, For survival trinkets I don't mind cheap (but good) things, they are perfect filler items for my Amazon orders. But for power tools I prefer to save for a decent one.
besteversaw yes I agree
yes like most of you said I think there's no point in using cheap tools because they are cheap and being cheap shouldnt be the main selling point I generally buy good mid-priced Bosch tools but I would like to know what the cheapest power tools would be like from the perspective of an experienced woodworker
besteversaw it turned out to be a better knife than expected
Arend Mookhoek yeah I agree I changed the comment to budget tools but I was wondering what sort of results would you get from the cheapest
The Eldris is a great little knife. I've got a red one that I made a custom kydex neck sheath for. I've mostly used it around camp when I'm backpacking. It's the first knife I reach for. I need to buy a second one!
I've loved my Mora Eldris so much that I bought a second one as well. I remember when at one point I stopped and realized I had been using my little Eldris 90% of the time and I hadn't even taken my main Mora Bushcraft out of its sheath during my last 2 outings! With the exception of splitting wood, this little knife does everything I could ever ask for. I rarely find myself needing to use my actual knife to split wood, so I could probably leave my main (or should I just say larger) knife at home and be just fine... I won't do that, but I probably could.
I agree regarding the usefulness of this little guy. I own 4 of these, because I have Grandchildren coming up & they will each own their individual color. The other feature that you didn't highlight is that, for larger hands, the knife handle reinserts into the sheath to afford a longer handle grip.
please do a survival camping video with all these survival tools. much love from Portugal
If the lanyard gets hung up on something, use the sharp thing on the other end and cut tge cord
hollywoodhefner2 The blade?
Sad Squidward lmao
hollywoodhefner2 so true
It's kinda hard to cut something when your neck is broken lol
But the chance of that happening is low
So... point the knife towards yourself and cut the cord it's attached to?
Sounds logical...
They are awesome, I had a hard time deciding between that one and a larger mora stainless model. I settled on the stainless companion. My grandfather would have loved this little knife for field dressing and skinning game.
"It just makes me happy. And if I can buy happiness for $22...." I gotta get one of them knives.
Wranglerstar's the kind of guy who knocks his IKEA couch against a log before buying it
use the safety strap and put a beltloop on it and hang it on your belt.
10,000 Subs With No Videos he does what ? :o
I think he meant "couch," which still adds very little clarity.
Ease up, fanboy it was a typo and a joke

The traditional Sami knife has a handle generally made from birch. Traditional material for the sheath is reindeer leather/ bone. Different style is available. The Sami people typically use two knives; the smaller called a buiku, puukko or unna niibaš ( "small knife" ); while the larger "Sami knife" is called stuorra niibi ( "big knife" ). An even larger version known as a Väkipuukko is similar to a seax. The sami belt is where the knife is attached. Mora knives is a swedish brand. They do not make Sami knives.I use this Mora knife to easy jobs like carving meat. My knife is green, for hunting stealth. (Mustard is good for desert camo.) Thing is it is light weight and small. If I need a bigger knife I use a bigger knife. Thing is taking a good hike with a big bowie knife for instance ads a lot of weight. In Sweden we are not allowed to wear either knives ore guns at city streets. Yes it is a strange country. .
Its the same in uk. We cant carry knives around in the street. We have to have a legitimate reason for carrying a knife... such as camping or work etc. Personally i like the law this way. There is no good reason why someone would be carrying a knife around town. We already have a huge knife crime problem so we dont need to make it any worse. And if i genuinely do need to have a knife then i can have one. It just seems like common sense to me.
I own one, and let me tell you, if you’re into high carbon steel, you’ll love em.
Love mora knifes. I have several basic Mora's stashed around. It's my favorite do all cheap bush knife
I held my Mora the whole time I watched this
I'm not alone????
Haha me too. My companion, and I was very proud that mine is bright orange 🍊🤣🤣
Is that a euphemism for your wang doodle?
I love Mora knives. My first one was a Mora Light My Fire 1211 and I'm really happy with it. Also comes with a firesteel that you can store in the handle. Has been my trusty companion for three years now and never let me down.
That's what I love about my tools and tool boxes. Being a mechanic is dull sometimes. Looking at bright colors really does make me happy sometimes.
Yeah that's absolutely one of my all time favorite knifes and I use the heck out of it. And the cord could have a barrel pop snap so It could break away. Also exactly like you said as a camp/backpacking knife/pocket knife it feels amazing to use.
The older patterns of moraknivs, I cant remember the model name, but its meant more for carving, has a wood handle, that sheath is so bad, almost impossible to keep the thing in it.
Have a few old Mora knives - one of them, Mora tells me, is from the 1800s. Still takes a hell of an edge with their high-carbon centre.
I wear a neck knife every day. I work in the medical field and I’ve lost many pocket knives from my scrubs. I’ve begun wearing a neck knife for the last two years. Very handy.
What do you use a neck knife for in the med field
Sikzor Brawls mostly opening boxes really. Packages and letters. Nothing tacticool. Except the element of surprise.
Also wear a neckknife for opening packages and stripping wires if need be. Very useful.
I have a neck knife and a folding pocket knife on me every single day. If you ever need to take out your knife when seated, pulling the neck knife out is far more convenient.
I end up only taking out my Emerson folding knife is when I need a longer blade.
LOL I use a neck knife most days in summer. I live in Australia and can often be found standing waist deep in water at the beach with a fishing rod in hand. I use the cold steel roach belly to handle any tackle repairs or gut hook incidents. I however use a plastic toggle as a break away on the paracord.
Put the handle into the sheath and it makes it longer that's usually how I use it and it's very comfortable
FYI you use a special knot that slips open if there is too much pull. It even reads in the manual, which you neglected to read. :)
Come on, he claimed that the spine of the Eldris is unfinished 😆 and most folks I know who wear a neck knife keep it inside their shirt for safety reasons both law enforcement and snag dangers.
@@davidgraemesmith1980 Unfinished :P
Another old video I'm responding to. Guess that's what happens when I just find this channel.
As someone who _loves_ skeleton knives, I'm pretty sure that any good one will have a way to wrap a nice length of paracord around the handle. It's why a lot of them have notches, tabs, or holes as attachment points along the handle. Build up the layers of cord to a size that comfortable to you, and you can fit a lot more cord on it than on a traditional handle. It also means that in a situation where you absolutely _need_ cordage, you're almost guaranteed to have enough while retaining a usable knife that can quickly and securely be tied to a stick and used as a spear.
Well, at least that's how they were made going back about 10 years or so. Some of the newer ones seem to favor design over function.
Will it work for me if i use the metric system??
michael Garber no
Yes it will? Mora is from Sweden and we use the metric system.
+Mick Coulson Meaning that anyone using the imperial system can't use the knife?
The knife just self destructs if it detects any attempt of measuring it that isn't in m&m's
Mora knives don't care how you use or abuse them.
"did you know right handed people live longer than left handed poeple"...oh I'm going do die younger than my brother 😭
I love my Morakniv. It took some time to get used to the size of it but now it has become my go-to knife whenever I'm whittling something.
"I hate everything about this knife. I love this knife so much."
I have had a CRKT minimalist around my neck for 5 years, people really do use neck knives and some of us every single day.
Bark River Adventurer 2. Carried and love it. Have 2 of them. Favorite carry. If it kills me: score bonus! and goodbye crappy earth n modern day society
Same crkt minimilst bowie best knife ever
Belt loop sheath.
OR ankle, calf or thigh sheath...
How would u put it on your belt
the rope
Switch the popper to the other side.
Put the belt through it (or it around the belt) before you snap it shut.
talking about the knife : "isn't it cute??"
lmao here's a like for you, my dude, you made me laugh, very interesting review, too
I use a neck knife when camping and working (home improvement). pretty handy. my mom uses a stealth neck knife when she walks to work. It connects by a quick release buckle. it's meant for self defense lol.
"Cuter than a bug's ear."

Thanks for busting my bubble! I'm not going to live as long!?!? The struggle is real for us lefty's.
Bradley Copeland you'll live just as long. It's an urban legend.
@@internetxtc609 no it's a statistic difference (leaving another reply with explanation for op)
It's a result of most tools being designed for right handed people, left handed people get into more accidents as a result, so just show a safety-concious mind and you'll be fine
I keep one in my new Silverfire scout bag. It is ideal for creating shavings to prime the stove and goes hand in hand with the fork and spoon you get with the deluxe stove kit.
you called out cutlerylover Jeff in the beginning
me:enjoing great video
wrangler star:do you know left handed people have a shorter life span
me: :L WELP
Don't no if you know that if you get caught up with the string round your neck there is a knife to cut it free
If you are doing something like riding a horse and the rope gets caught on a branc, you will fall and possibly crush your throat. There are many possible situations where the rope would injure or kill you without you having the option to simply cut it. That's why the US military wears their dog tags on a ball n chain that breaks easy.
The morakniv companion is still my favorite knife I think I've ever known, it might be light but they are just so we'll crafted
You can also cut the neck cord and then push the (burnt) ends through a cord lock (grab one out of a jacket you do not wear that much anymore) and the cord will pull through under pressure rather than choke you. Also great for quick height adjustments depending on the task at hand. Good video as always.
Haha...that is the AMC Gremlin of knives.
" Hey Toot's...where's the rest of you knife? "
great #cbysparacord
The leather thing is probably for carying the knife on your belt instead of just additional safety feature to prevent the knife from falling out.
I have one of these knives and I use it for skinning squirrels it works great and for the neck lanyard if you would read the instructions it tells you how to tie a break away knot so you don’t strangle yourself
I love my Mora Eldris!
And as we say in Sweden: En liten gren kittlar mer än en stor stock ;)
Emelie's Outdoor Adventures what did you say?
Kevin Oloane she said a small branch tickles more than a big logg
that's what she said
Emelie's Outdoor Adventures ingen säger så
Jo hon tydligen...
I'm from Sweden and I have 3 Mora knives. But we pronounce it different obviously. Anyways Mora is really good quality!
Though I've never heard of a Mora neckknife lol. Looks cool.
Apologies, but where exactly was the testing? is there another part to come for this video? was initially quite excited by the title but so far we've only seen the knife come in and out if its sheath and look at the kit that comes with it?
ive been thinking of getting one of these, I carry neckers because I wear scrubs all day and cant carry a regular folder in my pockets. but the neck knife conceals nicely under my scrub top.
its cuter than a bugs ear - (swedish) den är sötare än ett kryps öra
challe Wow now I know how to write a useless sentence in Swedish
haha
I'd rather wear Icelandic Necropants than attempt to say that again... I think I broke my tongue between 'den' and 'ett'. :P
Me: How are you?
Grandpa: Finer than frog's hair.
I'd rather say, sötare än ett insektsöra.
"is a liar or a poser" 😂😂😂
Beautiful, I would love to have one on a boat. Small thick blade with full handle gives more utility than maybe anything else you can have on you. Would be great for on a boat, perhaps a little longer serrated blunt blade.
got one of these from my sister for Christmas. one of my all-time favorites!
I wear a neck knife every time I leave my house.
"WHAT IF IT SNAPS LIKE THIS??" what if Jesus comes for 2nd time while I'm waiting for this perfect neck knife I just ordered???
I own Morakniv blades and I'm finding the Garberg very nice but I would rather use my trusty old swiss army knife for day to day than the mini mora until I watched your review, is it really worth ditching my Swiss
the retaining strap and fire steel are now a extra charge. FYI..Just got mine this week in the plain version...love it...these are based on the traditional ...grandfathers knife...handy as a pocket on a shirt
Please review an Opinel knife !! PS. The also have stainless steel models.
The thing with lefties not living as long IIRC is attributed to driving. Right-handed drivers, in the event of an incident, will naturally tend to cut the wheel right, moving with traffic. Lefties, however, would naturally cut it left, and tend to swerve into oncoming traffic in the event of an incident. This is reversed, naturally, for places such as the UK.
that was a stupid explanation
i wouldnt swerve right cuz im right handed, i'd swerve whichever direction would be safest wtf
So what you are saying is that the United States has a better System?! I would have never guessed
www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23988352
Apsoluty not.
" I and jack have fallen in love with this libel knife because it's so Darren handy"
I love having a neck knife whilst camping or bushcrafting. When bushcrafting, I do a lot of squatting and sitting, and if you're taking your knife in and out of its sheath a lot whilst in a lot of different positions, then having a neck knife is so handy. I use my Enzo Necker Flat Grind in 12C27 all the time
my great grandmother was a lefty she was 92 when she died haha
Running Deer if she was a rightie she would've lived till 94
My right handed great grandmother is 103
Left handed people actually live longer. Unfortunately I'm left handed
Now that's mora like it!
really
DatChaffee Cim it's really 😂
Richard Plantagenet knife joke
That's legit aids
HEY-OOO!!!!!
MT Knives makes a great neck knife called the "Geneisis", came recommended by a west coaster named "Wranglestar" a couple years back.
I worked a summer job in a place where i had to cut open boxes every other few minutes and used this exact knife, i loved it. Gave it to my nephew to play with recently since i realy dont have a use for it.
he complains on how he hates all this stuff about it and then he says he loves the knife
It's a review
He can have criticisms.
Caiden 205
Don’t forget he started off by saying he liked it so much that he bought two of them.
Moras can be like that, greater than the sum of their parts.
6:53 gulligare en ett småkryps öra
i have the Robust one. but one of my dream knives is the mora eldris.
too bad here in Brazil its NOT cheap
Great review. Just bought one. As for your comment at 6:50 - there is no literal Swedish translation of 'as cute as a bug's ear' but we usually say that someone is "söt som socker", which translates to "as sweet as sugar".
Does anyone know how it could possibly cost more than the Companion
Zachary Lankford the added fire steel. Personally I would never buy the Eldris. I don't see any benefit to them compared to the companion
Strangest knife video on UA-cam.
have you already reviewed the böker + gnome its a neckknife small enough not to annoy you and its just a really nice little knife i would definetly recommend.
Does it not have a Scandinavian grind on it like the mora companion? The grind from the factory is crazy hard to sharpen exactly the same but man when they new just a couple swipes across some leather and they are crazy sharp!
Methinks thou dost wander too much without approaching the real subject, TESTING THE PRODUCT !
Indeed.
tl;dr: Paracord isn't unsafe. Your way of tying a knot for a kneckknife is unsafe. learn some knots, use appropriate ones.
Are you really thinking that paracord is a problem? Actually the only possible safety problem is the knot that you tied on it, wranglerstar. tie a proper knot that will break up under teat on the cord, and there is no problem.
The manufacturer/mora hasn't done anything wrong concerning this, as they are just sending you some lose cord to do whatever you deem appropriate and safe with it. If you do something unsafe with it, thats entirely up to you... as everthing you do with your tools is up to you... whether it is it safe or not, you are the one doing it, thus you're the one to blame if things go wrong...
Do you know a good knot I love neck knives and I have always been concerned about cord ties
mkoshao I
is a noose safe?
Tie a double fisherman's knot, but only one side. So basically a double overhand knot around the other end of the line.
mkoshao it's a joke
Great Review
The plastic case fits perfectly in a leather 16oz plumb bob sheath. It makes a great belt carry.

Downvote ratio is close to the percentage of the population that's left handed.
You're too quick in disparaging neck knives. I use a top draw to accompany a large belt knife and it's perfect. Especially being a chick with small hands, I appreciate a small blade. Never been a safety issue... ever 😊

Hi !!!
I too am not a neck knife guy.
FYI the plastic sheath fits perfectly in a 16oz leather plumb Bob sheath !!!
It's now a great belt knife.
Wish I could send you a few pictures !!!
I'm actually REALLY glad you mentioned color differences between you and your wife, and how you're turning away from black for everything.
I used to buy black or coyote tan for EVERYTHING bc black goes well with civilian clothes and coyote goes with just about every camo.
But I've been finding myself buying EDC stuff in more vibrant colors. Mostly because I liked the colors. But what I noticed was that having a blue, purple, or pink knife sheath resulted in fewer people giving me a fuss when I go to more urban areas (Not full urban. But coming from the stix to the suburbs), I get more people who are like "oh, that's neat" instead of "oh, that's a knife".
I'm a combat vet. I like to carry tools. But when certain tools are black or coyote, it seems like city folk are more likely to be apprehensive.
I had a situation recently where I bought a purple knife sheath with a bass carved into it... and folks I KNOW say "why do you need a knife?" Were going "oh, what's that?". It allowed me to actually talk in a non defensive manner about why I carry my fishing knives. That alone made purple more useful to me than black. Both served their purpose, but one allowed me to actually educate folks about why a fisherman might carry a knife.
i have you know i love the neck knife it has saved me many times. please take back that statement you made at 1:16
i love you greek

Yeah i know old video but i have several mora bought the 3 dollar dangle mora belt loop fits my garberg, now with the dangle the eldris is my double carry either mora robust or garberg and the eldris....
I got a benchmade also and a few others but mora primary edc carry
Everyone I work with generally carries some kind of knife for utility purposes. Mine happens to be a standard 4" morakniv which I keep in good shape. Whenever someone needs to borrow a knife guess who they ask first! Excellent video for an excellent knife. Thanks!
