You didn't already know that? :p The older gray sheath with round stacking tab is actually quite secure. The only downside is the as-stamped spine, but that's a purely cosmetic issue.
They truly are brilliant blades for the price you pay, I "lost" a similar knife while camping with buddies and I just pulled out my "camp cook blade" Mora 749 and carried on feathering sticks, my buddy managed to find my knife broken (blade had come loose from batoning fire wood) I replaced the handle with beech wood scales and etched the blade "NO BATONING" and gave it to my buddy.
That almost hurt to watch. Now you have a $13 blade, still is a good price for the blade alone. I absolutely love my Moras. I’ve always looked at them as a great piece of steel mounted in an inexpensive handle. You can’t go wrong buying a Mora. Thanks for the video.
John Capps Also, I’ve been meaning to ask... I think you were one of the first to submit images to Subscriber Builds. I still use some of your images in the intro (and of course credit your channel), but I just want to be sure you’re cool with that. You did awesome work, leather work and knifemaking.
The reviews were right, the price was fantastic, and then I found a Companion in carbon steel...I bought my first Morakniv! The more I hold my Morakniv and use it , the more I love it. Your video made me love it even more!
Great video! I see so many people try to compare these to their $100+ "bushcraft" knives, but that's not what we use them for. They're work knives here, and they get used hard! We've been using Mora for years, and honestly, we've have never had one fail. Cut insulation, skin beaver, slice rope, heck I even used one to cut a bit chunk of truck tire to use as an industrial bumper pad! Anything that you're afraid to ask your pocket knife to do: Ask a Mora! And talk about value! You could buy one for every room in your house, every vehicle and bag you own for the price some folks spend one one favorite knife that they're afraid to get dirty. Get one, you won't be disappointed
I just ordered another Mora a couple days ago. This time I went with the HD Companion. I just feel better about having that thicker blade, and seeing this video gives me even more confidence in the knife. Thank you.
On the sheath I run a hair elastic through the top of the belt loop, around the handle, and onto the peg. Easily slips off with one finger, but it stayed secure when I tumbled down a 40 foot slope.
i love ripping things apart and finding out how things tick. I have always wondered what kind of tang the mora had, i always figured it was what most people call a rat tail style tang. and it looks pretty close to one, thanks for doing this video. you have satisfied one of my many curiosities. great job.
I TRIED to break a Mora once. I eventually had to put it in a vice and twat it with a hammer. They are well made pieces of kit. I carry at least one whenever I go to the woods. I also have a SS pro C for cutting veg in my kitchen.
Pretty cool. I've got a couple strong magnets I use to find out where the tang ends with over molded handles. The cool thing here was the shape of the tang more than the length. Thanks for sharing and sacrificing a knife. I just subscribed so I can see part two, the Morakniv rebuild!
Interesting. I have a mora knock off...similar but mine was $3. Made in China of course. Reverse engineering is important for learning. What you did is valuable teaching! The sign of an inquisitive person. Taking things apart to see how they work. Good job!
love my mora, got it from battlbox. really sharp and really nice. i don't see myself going out there and doing heavy stuff with it, but as my casual hunting knife it's really great for the price
This video is very great, thank you very much for revealing the secret to us, I think I saw another one where the cable was different, this one seems to be firmer, not that it lacks firmness in the moraines. Thank you, I wouldn't have the courage to do that to mine and I wouldn't even buy one just for that.
I absolutely love my Mora, I actually tend to be rougher than with other knives cause I trust it so much. A really good test for me is how it handles trimming Sheep's feet an it glides through it like butter, for any farmers out there I would seriously recommend a Mora.
My wife bought me my first Mora with the Flint in the handle a few years ago and it's a great knife. What I find amazing about these knives is how long they hold an edge.
I also wondered about that now I know. Would be nearly impossible for that handle to come off no matter what kind of abuse it gets. Love them Mora's. Great vid.
I have a Mora Robust which I use exclusively for (reasonable) batoning to run the fireplace at home. Turn larger pieces into kindling and such. I bought it 5 or 6 years ago and I don't know how much wood I processed, but it was a lot. The knife shows absolutely no sign of damage besides normal wear. No wobbling, no cracking, no bending, no chipping, nothing. Full tangs are highly overrated on small knives imho.
Thank you for this video sir. I was debating on whether to buy this knife or not for my Bushcraft kit. Now I most definitely am going to buy it. Once again thank you sir awesome video
I HAVE A MORA KNIFE (THE CHISEL BLADE) AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT. IF ANYONE BUY ONE OF THE HIGH CARBON MORA BLADES KEEP IN MIND THAT ANY MOISTURE, EVEN HIGH HUMIDITY CAN CAUSE THE BLADE TO RUST. ONCE YOUR BLADE RUSTS EVEN IF YOU REMOVE...THE BLADE WILL PERMANENTLY BE DISCOLORED. I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD ONCE YOU CLEAN THE RUST OFF. ANYWAY, GREAT KNIFE.
We in Russia for some reason did not disclose this topic in such detail. It is good that there are at least such foreign channels as you have. It's nice to watch, but sometimes it's hard to understand some words in English)) thank you. We are also very fond of these knives
Thank's for doing that! I think the Mora knives are one of the best knives you can buy for the money they cost's. Not nice, but form follows function at it's best! Best regards Thomas
i have taken a few of these apart for my own reasons. i also have bought mora blades and modified them to them make my own. a significant point at 10:32. the reason mora has good strength side to side and do not usually snap at the handle is because it is inset into the handle somewhat before it tapers to the tang. important to know if your planning on using a mora blade to make your own knife and want the strength at this point in the knife.
None existant, do you mean? What I mean in a considerate way is, some kid is innocently going to copy you holding a very VERY sharp knife against a belt sander and will lose fingers. In know you wrapped the blade but I've seen the result of a band knife accident in real life with missing fingers, that's what could have happened if your grip was less strong or the rubber melted and developed a grip ripping it through the wrap, doesn't bear thinking about. Please post again but with the safety measures to take well demonstrated and explained. Like holding the blade against the platform with the sander running very slowly, you with a chainmail glove on or secured in a slow lathe and please tidy your tools that reciprocal saw could have easily slipped on to you. I know you are clearly used to using them but some people are not as experienced as you and will inadvertently hurt themselves. That said it's a brilliant video I felt like I was watching an informative version of Hostel. Very glad you made it and look forward to watching the rehandling. Thanks.
thank you for doing this. I was thinking about doing that to one of my more has but now that I see what's inside of it and how secure it is I think I will just go ahead and buy the regular classic that already comes with a wood handle. Thanks again
The Pro C, the blue one is a carpenters, construction workers knife, and the white one the robust is made for the same group, but they write on their website that it is something you can bring along hiking.
It's a waste of time when you can get a Mora Robust for $10 or a Mora Craftsman for about $2 here in Sweden. Every craftsman and builder, electrician whatever here in Sweden carries a mora and we use them and toss them. Too cheap to waste the time sharpening. It has always been like this. The Mora has never been seen as a bush craft survival knife here in Sweden. The only reason why they seem so good in other parts of the world is because the overpriced crap that you can get there is made from mass produced cheap Asian steel. Mora is made from Swedish steel and that's why it feels stronger and better. But when we want a really good knife, a knife you can keep for life, we buy knifes from Finland. If you think Mora is good the try a knife from Finland....like a Saami Leuku..
The only handle failure I’ve experienced was with a wood handle Mora #2 with a thumb guard. I was batoning through full size pieces of fire wood practically the length of the blade. It held up to this for almost 2 years but the thumbguard acted as a pry bar between the handle and blade and eventually worked it free. When I tried to remove the blade for repairs, it WOULD NOT slide out the rest of the way no matter how hard I tried. I just dabbed it with epoxy and it’s been going strong for 3 more years.
I love my companion its very handy for general purpose it sharpens easily I use mine in the kitchen for vegetables and misc. it will go with me camping bushcraft
I have such a thin Mora knife as a work knife ( not for my bushcraft camping trips ) and its pretty useful and handy, but one thing that frazzled me was that my knife blade got quite some discolorations ( no rust ) but it def has not that gleaming shine anymore........and everytime I polish and hone it, it stays bright for a few days before going all dull again ..somewhat brownish
Wish mine were as good as everyone says theirs are. Extremely sharp right out of the packaging, but i cut one piece of cardboard and the edge immediately rolled over. Still would look forward to seeing you rehandle yours
Take a piece of sandpaper, put it on a sanding block. Those with metal spring clips. They have a layer of rubber beneath the sandpaper. You can convex the edge a bit very easily with that sanding block. One hand the Mora, the other the sanding block. Move the Mora bevel on the sandpaper-block. The edge you will get from that will not roll anymore. 1000 grit, 2000, and 4000 will make it really nice.
Cool to see the inside of the molded ones. I broke the handle of a wooden one (don't ask) and it is a very different design. I am going to do a video re purposing my broken mora on my other channel.
Great Video! I own several Moras in addition to BHK, Bench-made, Ontario and Bark River and honestly I’ve asked myself why I spent money on full tang knives when I’ve honestly beat the crap out of bushcraft black, kansbol and have never experienced a fail. Obviously any tool can be broken however, the lengths someone would have to go through wouldn’t be logical. Mora makes reliable hard use knives!
In sweden workers are given cheapest morakniv for work. We use then as chisels, prybars, axe, screwdrivers scrapers and somtimes even as a knife. It would be interesting to know how often a Mora actually breaks when used as a knife.. Same goes for a flat head screwdrivers..
Mora is something that used to cost like 2-3$ at the stores here in the nordic countries. And it is the knife you used for everything from stirring paint to chisel and poke things with that you wouldn't do with a more expensive knife. Still remember them when they came with a red wooden handle.
i got those for under 5 € in my local hardware store.. didnt knew they where that good.. just found out recently .. guess im gonna buy another one, just in case :O
Not going to scroll through all the comments to see if has been suggested,... maybe the carbon steel blades spine remains unfinished to enhance its' striking capabilities on flint-steel?
Nah, theyre carpenters knives, The robust one is meant to take a beating, strike the spine with a hammer, use it to pry with etc. I'ts finished enough for its purpose. In Sweden those knives cost under 10$ retail. You abuse the crap out of them and then get a new one.
Mora makes their 'classic' line with wood handles fyi. I have one with beech wood handle and leather sheath. Its basically a Puuko knife. In fact thats how Mora originally made their knives since theyre basically just mass producing a classic Scandinavian knife design.
Tobias Br. Polish? A Mora??? We use them until they fall apart. Screwdriver, hammer, chisel knife you can use them any way you want, but to polish it with 5000 grit, never
I just got a mora basic... and honestly i have never had such a nice knife. I plan on buying the companion hd among others in the future. i have paid a decent amount of money on them in the past, and these knives honestly perform better. Will never buy another brand of knife again as far as fixed blades go
The morakniv stainless blade is flexible where the carbon steel is rigid. The stainless blade is a great Skinner whereas the carbon steel works great for cutting bones and separating joints in a deer, elk or moose.
So basically you have helped prove these knives are the best value in the history of the world.
You didn't already know that? :p
The older gray sheath with round stacking tab is actually quite secure. The only downside is the as-stamped spine, but that's a purely cosmetic issue.
Victorinox for edc and Mora for woodcarving, yes, they are not simply the best value, they are the best.
@@LXT43 Vics are not good for edc? Probably that's why millions of people carry a Victorinox every day... makes sense.
@@greekveteran2715 πες τα ρε μεγαλε

So much better than I imagined, gonna get one of those for each backpack, no self control

So much more comfortable working with my Mora's now. Thanks for the video.
On the sheath I run a hair elastic through the top of the belt loop, around the handle, and onto the peg. Easily slips off with one finger, but it stayed secure when I tumbled down a 40 foot slope.
I've made this weird paracord bodge strap thingy... Not to toot my own horn on someone else's channel, but I might do a video on it.

That handle is indestructible for $13.00 it can’t be beat
I absolutely love my chisel tip knife. I bought 2, gave one as a gift and another Carpenter buddy bought one after seeing mine.
That's the best tang style I've ever seen 😂 no weakpoint, unlike the other partial tang knives who's tangs are basically just sticks 😂
The spine is actually unfinished so that you can use it with a flint striker or a ferro rod
Pretty cool. I've got a couple strong magnets I use to find out where the tang ends with over molded handles. The cool thing here was the shape of the tang more than the length. Thanks for sharing and sacrificing a knife. I just subscribed so I can see part two, the Morakniv rebuild!
An Australian dude named Pete , from Cedric and Ada outdoors did this in 2017 when his mora broke. Thanks for sharing as well. Have a good day

I just ordered a mora from ebay, thanks for the video i can tell they're good quality knives
Love my Moras. I own three, will definitely buy more. There is actually more metal in the tang than I had though. Impressive.
My wife bought me my first Mora with the Flint in the handle a few years ago and it's a great knife. What I find amazing about these knives is how long they hold an edge.
I didn’t expect that tang design! Very interesting!
Dominic Minischetti Same here. Quite a complex design. Fascinating engineering
I also wondered about that now I know. Would be nearly impossible for that handle to come off no matter what kind of abuse it gets. Love them Mora's. Great vid.
That tang profile, in the dual density moulding is stronger and more secure than others, because water can’t seep in and weaken the structure.
Very Cool Video... Thanks for the sacrifice... That Morakniv never knew what hit it.
I’m so glad you did this lol, what I would like to see is how the mora 1 classic is put together, I’m curious if they used glue or something
Love how your dust mask catches all the dust on your table lol

big bonus of no full tang , is you can just drill the end of the handle and use it for a cord , handy to stop you loosing it.
That is a sturdy knife I'm impressed.
Your workbenh shows off your mad organizational skills.

I have many high dollar knives but I gotta admit....I only really need a Mora.
You have the exact two knives I just got today!
The cool thing about those sheaths... with the lug on the front... it hooks to another sheath
The Pro C, the blue one is a carpenters, construction workers knife, and the white one the robust is made for the same group, but they write on their website that it is something you can bring along hiking.
In Sweden we buy these and use them and toss them.
The concept of using a modern cheap end Mora Knife for an extended time is alien to us :p
That's sad. Even for a "cheap" knife, that's some decent quality. Could last a lifetime if maintained well.
It's a waste of time when you can get a Mora Robust for $10 or a Mora Craftsman for about $2 here in Sweden.

Love my Craftline Robust. Use it when camping. Even used it to baton.
I have a Mora neck-knife that I haven't had to sharpen since I got it. Still razor sharp.
Never owned on. Looks like that's gonna change... Good Job!
Going back to school to learn how to spell "one"
I love the sheath even better thEn leather. The clip is great for fast deployment when heading out side clips on fast and don’t have to undo my belt.
can you please give me a link for the video, that you are making the new handle for this Mora, i realy wish to see it ! Thanks a lot !

they still do come with a wood handle if you still want one. try Harry J. Epstein tools in kansas city.
i got those for under 5 € in my local hardware store.. didnt knew they where that good.. just found out recently .. guess im gonna buy another one, just in case :O
I think the idea behind with the unfinished spine was to help with a farrow rod . Just my understanding but I don’t know much about knives
You are correct
The spine is left unfinished in order to cut costs. It is easy to fix with a file. I just did it the other day.
@Kenny Venegas in which way was I being a dumb ass? Mora itself says its to cut costs, and I have in fact fixed the spine.
Good job soja goin to get a mora
Not going to scroll through all the comments to see if has been suggested,... maybe the carbon steel blades spine remains unfinished to enhance its' striking capabilities on flint-steel?
Nah, theyre carpenters knives, The robust one is meant to take a beating, strike the spine with a hammer, use it to pry with etc. I'ts finished enough for its purpose. In Sweden those knives cost under 10$ retail. You abuse the crap out of them and then get a new one.
Thanks, very good video 👍
There is an assortment of different length Morakniven blades with full length tang available on the open market, at least in swedish hardware stores.
great video mate i would love to see a wood handle on one of those
Southern Squid Forge Thanks! I’m working on a handle design as we speak. 👍
I'd also love to have a carburetor on my new Nissan GT-R ;)
Mora makes their 'classic' line with wood handles fyi. I have one with beech wood handle and leather sheath. Its basically a Puuko knife. In fact thats how Mora originally made their knives since theyre basically just mass producing a classic Scandinavian knife design.
You can buy the mora blanks, completely sharpened and make your own handle. Pretty easy really. I made one in about an hour. Flame maple.
I hope u guys know that in sweden these knifes are made to be used as a work knife/tool
The Mora Robust is made as a shop/ craft knife. Mora advertises them as having an unfinished spine to save you money.
I've never heard of them before. I'm a CRKT guy. Cool knife tho. I have to go and check out what Mora has to offer.
First video I've seen on this channel, well put together.
The top blade is probably made rough for use with a fire starter stick. My thought it is meant to be rough. Not a miss on production.
Funny. I haven't heard of these. I was just curious about the thumbnail. Lol
And I thought my shop was messy. Wow!
Instant subscriber. Solid presentation.
in finland almost every construction worker use mora for everything from screwdriver to hammer
They do in all of skandinavia. While i‘m sitting here, polishing the edges of my Moras on a 5000grit 😂😂
Tobias Br. Polish? A Mora??? We use them until they fall apart. Screwdriver, hammer, chisel knife you can use them any way you want, but to polish it with 5000 grit, never
Fellow builder here.
I run the blue handled builders knife and light green handled chisel tip one. Two brilliant tools.
Yes I noticed when I was in Sweden,its a very common knife over there
Great video. Keep it up. It’s always interesting to see how knives are made!
Thanks!
i left one on my grill one drunken night... was surprised about the tang haha
I just got a mora basic... and honestly i have never had such a nice knife. I plan on buying the companion hd among others in the future. i have paid a decent amount of money on them in the past, and these knives honestly perform better. Will never buy another brand of knife again as far as fixed blades go
They are as close to being perfect as can be 👌.
The carbon blades take a crazy sharp edge easy.
The Bahco wrecking knives are wicked!
Just one question, im not an expert but how difficult would it be to make a handle that would fit the mora pro s?
Wow!! The Best in African technology!!!
Impressive!!
Lol!!
Kidding of course...
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
excellent !
Well you can buy just a Mora blade online and on that website look at the pics of them?
Cool thanks
The morakniv stainless blade is flexible where the carbon steel is rigid. The stainless blade is a great Skinner whereas the carbon steel works great for cutting bones and separating joints in a deer, elk or moose.
Mystery solved. Micarta or G10 scales would look good on the Mora.
But then, water would eventually get in and weaken it.
