I see a lot of people complaining about the Mora sheaths, but I think they're great - durable, good retention and you can just clip it on anything you're wearing and you don't even need a belt.
I'm such a knife dweeb that I usually have a nice belt knife on but I often clip a Mora Robust on the outside of one of my pockets because they're cheap and light and I don't want to use an expensive knife like a Tops Fieldcraft if it might hit a rock or something.
Be careful I have had my Mora come out of its sheath while working a campfire, and I am not the only one this has happened to. I plan to take my heat gun and fit it better.
Yeah. They are really durable and really easy to use. And of course they are safe..
I have loads of Moras and Hultafors knives all over the house and garden. You can get them for under 10 dollars here in Scandinavia. Awesome beaters.
10 is expensive a friend of mine bought his 20 Moras or so in a Construction market for 4,95€ each...
@@DoomOfConviction i said under. It's usually 6-7 dollars.
@@RazzerKrull my friend, do you think can I get a Hultafors for under 20 bocks in Sweden? I found a Mora Robust for 169kr (almost 17 usd I think). Now I want a OK1 by Hultafors because I love the way it looks, besides all the good things I've read abt it.
I use my Mora and Hultafors timber framing. Both are rugged, durable and easy to sharpen. They are truly great carpenters knives!
Dutch Bushcraft Knives also made a Video where they tried to destroy this knife, and even they failed quite miserably
Yes! I love that video watched right after posting!
They are always paid can't trust them follow johnspartan
Bit of additional info on the Moras steel. When i mentioned (in i think a fb post) that carbon Moras are UHB 20C, Mora corrected me and said it was C100. C100 is a steel standard that Bohler Uddeholms UHB 20C fits, but apparently Mora doesn't get their steel from them. If i had to guess it's probably Sandvik 20C, since it also fits tge C100 standard, and Sandvik does supply their stainless steels as well, so it'd make sense.
“This video was brought to you by Kirks particularly average soft drinks!” 😂🤣
This reply brought to you by Kirk's particularly average comments.
Philip Kirk Your name fits perfectly
I like that the Robust is not so pointy than the usual Morakniv knives, and the high fingerguards are also very good features, which is missing even at the Garberg. If I need a strong cheap knife the Robust is the best option I think. Better than the Companion HD. Not as allrounder than a Kansbol or a Spark, but stronger.
Watching this vid made me aware of how gentle I am. The most work with my companions are blackberry vines. 100 yard swinging and tugging and cutting at ground level. 3/4 inch max green. The winter storm sent sun chokes 4 meters long strip, 3 meters high onto mt storage door. I swung with abandon thru 1 inch stocks. Green yes, but I could feel the blade-handle flex. The cushioning was a welcome reprieve! My sarge son says he may have a machete for me. It would save time carving thorns from my knuckles! Lol
I love the companion blade shape to get into the work. The robust and other blades are more like skinners and scraper knives. I love them all tho. Carbon for wood, stainless for greens!
The FF7 music sold me
We in Texas have only summer and a mild/rainy “winter”. Fall lasts about 1 week. Having grown up in Oregon, I MISS the seasons!
Sounds terrible, I once visited Huston to help a relative move it was November and I was sweating even when not doing anything active.
I grew up in Oregon and now live on the Olympic peninsula. We get four seasons most days.
That didn't age well.
I bought a $3 Promar stainless steel bait knife for a beater knife to save the Morakniv I spent $20 for. The Morakniv had more thought put into it, but the Promar sharpens well enough for my utility needs, and has a rubberized handle.
No "Junk Drawer", be it kitchen or garage, is complete without a Hultafors GK. The one in my kitchen still looks pretty new. Blister packages and various sealed items don't give it much trouble. The one in my garage has hit the low speed blade grinding belt so many times that it now has a Bark River style convex grind. You cant even find the scandi grind that it came with. It has been through thousands of feet worth of cardboard and other rough on the edge materials. I like the size and grip of the GK handle when I'm wearing leather gloves. Even with larger welding gloves, or insulated winter gloves, there is plenty of handle, and leather seems to grip that handle well. The GK and Robust are the kinds of knives you grab when you want to baton bricks and make concrete tinder to light your steel I-beam feather sticks.
From the Mora homepage
"This knife is designed and intended for Scandinavian construction workers. Here, our priority is a sharp and durable edge with a good grip, which means that the look of the spine isn’t a high priority feature. You are more than welcome to use any of our knives for your intended needs, but keep in mind that the spine will be “raw” (not grinded) on most craftsmen and construction knives. Therefore, it’s not compatible with a fire starter."
Ten minutes with a hand file fixes that
Nothing wrong with that.
I came here for the Hultafors, love mine. They also came out with a dedicated outdoor/bushcraft knife. Now I'm just waiting for them to release a folding saw! It's hard to find a Hultafors in my part of the states.
The handle of the Hultafors with a wind of hockey tape over the palm swell is amazing. Bit of convexing a la Virtuovice and it eats up wood, probably my favourite sub 100 squids fixed knoife.
That's exactly what I did to mine and the SK-5 takes a FIERCE edge.
"Tough as nails..." Quite literally, you hammered it into a two by four after all.
I love my Hultafors OK4 (the outdoor version of the GK), light, tough and cheap.
I put pieces of thick waterproof electric tape inside the mora case to make the fit very snug and secure
Just ordered one entirely based on this vid. £12.95 UK Sterling....($23.30 Aus Dollars) - - - [UPDATE - The knife is everything you said it was but the sheath struggles to retain the knife against even two fingers of gentle pulling. Easy to shake it free upside down. Going to try heating it with a hair dryer and squeezing the 'mouth' together for better grip].
@@1800moonSugar Thanks Doc - did just that and it worked a treat.. :)
You could build a log house with Moras and Mallets.
Mora Robust is compatible to bushcraft tasks... is an awesome bushcrafter with minor mods
What we’re not hammering into trees 🌲 and standing on the handle RIP Bear 🐻 Grylls 👍
Joe X couldn't break the blade.
Yeah the Mora Robust was one of the few who lasted throughout the test.
Amazing.
First thing i did with my mora was cut off the knob on the sheath, haha. Great knife though.
For the quality and price it's crazy
My robust arrives tomorrow! 😁
I feel like this is a bushcraft black but shorter, and not black. I think if you out this in a nicer sheath, this would be the best budget hunting/outdoors knife you can buy.
Good vid. And easier to watch than sone of the guys who get hyper!
Awesome knives, both brands.
Lol we have 2 seasons here. Winter and summer it seems. I understand that feeling. It seems it’s the same way here in Indiana!
Great video and one I always keep an eye out for when putting mora stainless up against mora carbon.
Pete maybe in a future vid you could smack the handle off that robust so we can see how far in it goes and get an idea of construction.....why would you do this with your knife ???.....simple....so that we don't have too 🤣🤔...and because No one else has done it before either as far as I know at least on a robust, is it different to the 511
The companion heavy duty is just as durable. I like it over the robust because it still has the older style handle.
Mine even has the 90 degree spine from factory indeed. Agree on the handle.
@Mr. Shlock to be fair the heavy duty had a finished spine while the robust did not. Not sure it was worth the price increase or anything, but it did have more factory time in it.
@Mr. Shlock True. I don't really think the Garberg is a great deal for instance. Not when you've got 3v benchmades for a little over $100 out there. The Eldris is nice though. And they still make companions.
The handle on this thing is perfect and I have XL/XXL size hands.
On the seventh day God rested. On the eighth he invented the Morakniv, fine tuning women being quite beyond the ken of God or anyone else since time began.
thanks Cedric
That Mora most definitely ships with a micro-bevel, and that is part of the reason the edge stands up so well in your testing. If you re-grind it to a zero-scandi the edge won't hold up nearly so well. That said, taking one of these knives to a zero grind will dramatically improve cutting performance, and that edge will still be plenty strong enough if you are not thoroughly thrashing it.
Can somebody help me, i bought a mora robust but i dont know which stone get to sharp it, i found a 2 faces diamond stone 300/1200 i think should work, it is okay or i gonna need some different?
This is a very very Robust knife. you cant destroy it. good vid.thanks
Heat treatment and the grind is the clue. Rolled a lot of moras, factory edges. Trick is to scandiwex I think
The Hultafors has a much more ergonomic handle even if it's harder.
If Mora is from Sweden I would assume MoraMan would be neutral...therefore not a superhero or villain.
What area of Austrlia do you live in for? I wager you are in Northern NSW or Southern Qld?
I like your tire table
cool video!
Mora 👉💪
Pro series is 60 Rockwell give or take . It’s says on the description ?
Why thank you Eraser Head (4:10) that was very informative. 😜
I use my mora robust as my bushcraft knife and its indestructible,i can allso take it from dull to a razor in 5mins out in a tent and if i ever lose it well no big deal a new one here is £10.
Good to know. Now try hammering into a tree and pulling backwards on the handle. Most have no idea this is the weak spot for the non-full tang knife. A partial tang knife will never beat a broad full-tang knife, unless you buy a Glock FM78 ...if you can find one. But that is an exceptional knife.
@@Revelation1316 and when will i ever need to do this? i already have a more expensive knife in 80crv that's also almost in indestructible... if you what to see the mora hammered in to a tree and a 17stone guy jump on the handle check out Dutch Bushcraft Knives video. the glock is allso there it did not go well
Nice review Peder! lol!, love your videos brother
I cringe every time I see you drive the tip in and bend it over . But a good test .
That's what she said
@@mitchvan69😂👍👍
When I got it and examined it I understood why it's called ROBUST..That's All..
You didn't get the blade thickness part right.
Hultafors GK: 3mm (SK5)
Mora Pro Robust: 3.2mm (C100)
Mora Companion HD: (12C27 / C100)
Mora Companion stainless: 2.5mm (12C27)
Mora Companion carbon: 2mm (C100)
The blade thickness of the Companion HD should read 3.2mm.
This was before JOE X. ☝🏼
With some self direction you could have carved a surf board or a bear to sell to tourists! Just kidding this was fun I subbed.
Man...i modified it,cut the guard infront and is much better than mora companion. Real deal knife
Do you know why they discontinued the GK?
Re nato strange I searched for it and couldn’t find it, saw some things that said it was discontinued but your right it is on the website... 🤷♂️
Re nato I hear you! Nothing like an axe and saw for sure
Nice review Pete. I have the older style Robust, and I like it a lot. Great knife for the money. Good comparison to Hultafors, that seems to be a similar knife in performance and price.
@Mr. Shlock That sucks
Nothing beats a Kirks Kole Beer... Nothing!
3:53 What no Gin and Tonic?
If this is a English joke I’m pretty sure he’s Australian bud lol
Hultafors OK4 is a great knife, bit more $$$ but handle is the shit!
PS.
Good review Pete, a cheap tough as knife!
Scott Buckler
The OK 4 fits my hand perfect! It's a awesome little knife!
Love comparison videos
Does anyone know how far back into the handle the Mora Robust’s tang goes (or does not go)?
Is it a partial tang like the Companion?
Yes. About 3/4. And plenty strong.
It goes back to the letter M on the word 'MORAKNIV'
It would go to about the N in MORAKNIV. I cut mine open to find out.
according to knife steel nerds choosing 1095 for mora is a confusing choice when 1084 has double the toughness.
but then again they only have 2 types of steels.
i guess it cuts 70 times because they probably heat treated it for max toughness.
We've always known there is 'heat treating', and there is heat treating. And this has always pissed me off, because we never knew/ know how or what they really do, and most big manufacturers are the worst and many small ones inexperienced and underfunded/ resourced. This company is an exception because they design and make in Sweden.
The only thing I am suspicious about this knife and all non-full tang knives is I once used a Kallum Utility (craft-line knife) with a very similar footprint and design to this mora cut an airconditioner out of a window frame and it pulled the blade out of the knife. Mind you this was not easy, and extreme force and attrition was used to do it. I am almost sure this Mora would be even stronger than that knife. I also have the Fallkniven F1 and this Moras handle is better. Well, actually the squareness of the F1's handle is better as its more versatile and gives more control, but I wished it had this generous straight down guard, not the subtle angled guard it has - the knife would be perfect with this.
Mora Fk'd up on the Robust, in a good way and they had too - they never realised it would catch on as a knife with bushcrafters, campers and construction workers/ tradespeople. If you compare it to the Bushcaft Black (in entry level form) the BB's price is a joke! 10 seconds with a bastard file and your Robust is a bushcraft black. But Mora better be careful about flirting with higher prices and getting greedy, as these knives while good are extremely cheap to make. I could say the Robust is an outstanding knife and it is. But this is because most knives are junk, and it does not cost a lot at all to produce a quality knife - take the AG Russel Green River 4215 for instance, which is hand made, excluding hammering out the blade, which is hand sharpened however; or the Terava Jaarikupuukko 110 (AKA The Mora Garberg Killer).
@1:02 No. I will take it as an absolute truth and you can not stop me.
Is this the music from Final Fantasy 7 ?
Good stuff.
They are not designed to be clipped on to your belt, they are designed to be attached to a button. Yes, they can hang from a thin and narrow belt, but that's just a bonus.
More Mora reviews plzz
In reality I never saw MOra Robust with 92 mm blade. It was always under 90mm. Hultafors wth its 93mm is always a bit but noticeably longer.
When did Wolverine start testing knives? 😉
was that FF7 music at the beginning?
Mora's are the best knives under $16 don't think they are CHEAP they are just inexpensive
love your stuff, Pete, but the music is giving me a nervous breakdown !! all the best//
The mora is cheaper than the hultafors in the USA.
What makes this particularly robust as opposed to other Moras? A slightly thicker ground blade? They look nearly identical.
yeah the blades about 25% thicker. Not that the normal ones arent already pretty bombproof
@Mr. Shlock So thicker stock and also wider from edge to spine?
@Mr. Shlock I love my mora basic, don't own any other moras though... Yet. Any advice on squaring the spine? I started trying to do it on a coarse diamond plate, but even with that I spent a long time and didn't really get anywhere.
Do the robust and the carbon black have tha same carbon steel?
all the same. from 5 dollars to 80 dollars. always same
Could you do a EDC video???
Please try 52100 steel
I just got the robust for $10 on amazon
Is Mora robust a full tang knife?
no, it doesnt go all the way through
@@CedricAda thank you very much
Hey Pete
Good video, but music is very depressive 😬
He is a boring and depressing person. He said so himself.
SUPER Contact. 😍 Your Vids ✌️
nays test.
?
There are no Dutch Bushcraft guys. Dutch Bushcraft is one person, me. You probably mean Dutch Bushcraft Knives (DBK) guys.
I love the longer, stronger, easier to clean handle of the GK. Mine is in use since 2011. The Robust has the better or at least easier to attach sheath.
Both will make you question why you ever bought that expensive knife.
@Xyz It's not that I don't like them. I actually do like them. I actually give them many likes because their videos are funny. Talked to them also and they have my support. We just have a different line of work. They make videos and talk about bushcraft and survival and I teach it.
I just call bs on everybody that posts bs. Also on Dave Canterbury and he reached out and asked why? I gave the same answer. I call bs when I see it. I don't care who does it. DBK did not talk bs in this review.
I fully agree the Hultafors GK, Mora Companion Heavy Duty or the Mora Robust is all you need. I have all 3 of them. And judging by the prices you mentioned I knew it was Australian dollars. Must admit that Mora has the better sheaths now, but I still prefer the handle of the Hultafors but that is pro's and cons and personal choice of course. The benefit of all 3 knives mentioned is that you can have one in every place/bag you might need them because of the price. So if DBK convinced you to get the Robust, that's good. It's the all you need knife. Stay happy Down Under and have some dirt time. Go for a walkabout and go bush as much as you can.
@Xyz The knife I EDC is a SAK. I have different models depending on in town, day hike, survival course.
I do recognize gear junkies and there are a lot of them including me ;) I KNOW I have all the stuff I'll ever need but knives are my hobby and other outdoor gear also like hammocks and stuff. So if you want to save money don't become a gear junkie. At least you already realize it's not what you NEED but might want. That attitude will safe money you can now spend on getting dirt time! Because the dirt time is what it's all about. That creates memories. That's stories to tell.
Bark River are good but expensive. Kephart style blade is functional but not 'sexy' in my eyes. I like the Canadian style blade. I have a couple of Barkies and many other brands and knives. But what I discovered pretty recently is Joker knives from Spain. Look them up on youtube and specifically the bushcraft line of knives (BS-9) designed by J Sabater. You will find Kephart style knives, Nessmuk style but also Finish puukko style.
Don't worry about being rude. I'm not made of sugar ;)
@Xyz I've never been to Australia but maybe one day. The one that inspired me more to look at the bushcraft side more than just the 'military' survival aspect (different mindset) is still my favorite and he's Australian. His name is Les Hiddins aka Bush Tucker Man. You can still find him and his tv show on youtube. Of course when it comes to animals Steve Irwin (RIP). There are more but can't remember all names. The most impressive motivator for people to even consider going bush and enjoy just might be 'Crocodile Dundee'.
Before you start looking for a bushcraft instructor, the right books, etc. something sparked your interest and in many cases that's a movie.
@@StevanOutdoor “That’s not a knife. THAT’S a knife.”
@@sethtenrec Yep. One of my all time favorite movies. ;)
Kirk's. It just keeps on creaming.
i have one, i recommand it a lot@!
I don't think any of those are "disposable" but I kinda get your angle .......... I think maybe more realistically though, as a good wrench, it sure might end up in the hands of your Great Grandson.
Yeah i think he means he would rather break that rather than a bark river
Sweden!!!
Speaking of robust, when should we expect the khukuri review?
exactly what kind of steel is on Mora Robust? uhb20c or uhb20?
