  • Of all my knives, the Mora Carbon Garberg is my first pick. In this video, I explain in detail why that's so. If you're considering buying a full-tang fixed blade, it's hard to beat this one as it stands up to all the tasks I ask of it and is under $100.

      Wasn't so good at Stamford bridge though was it. Or against Alfred the great and their merciful victory. A victory that could have beheaded the heathen army and massacred the men they had left and even after all the crimes they'd left the length of the country Alfred offered them their lives and told them who they had to thank for that. So viking steel did win either of those days and was basically only on top when it came to superior numbers usually against civilian or clerical targets..in mass battles they very often lose. In they were in any way matched in numbers. I'd put my money on 10 ,000 anglo saxons over 10,000 vikings in an open field every time. The vikings success was not due to their steel it was due to their boats that could travel across rough seas to Britain and were then able to penetrate deep into the country via their river ways. It was the vikings boats, not steel, that produced the 'early' viking hit-and-run successes. The best steel then was said to come from the middle east, like Damascus steel, which we are now almost certain was just pattern welded steel. So I wouldn't read too much into the steel/Sweden thing.

      Well for one thing, first of all im not crying. I'm a 51 year old man who has seen things that would make your eyes bleed and doesn't cry over silly comments, in fact doesn't cry period. And i did so because YOU made out vikings were some sort of master blacksmiths, despite Britain being involved in the bronze age trade (thus metallurgy), where 95% of all the tin they used in the bronze age came from, centuries before vikings was ever a word. and where they made steel as good as anywhere in europe, where drop forged hammers were invented, rolling steel, crucible steel, along with stainless steel and mass producing steel. Ever heard of Sheffield? And as you mentioned Vikings being all 'legendary' i think it was only fair to point out who put the the nail in that coffin, after they took on another army of men and not villages of civilians or priests. But hey, you don't have to cry about it 'anders'. It's not like im trying to say you have sort of bias in this. Btw one day you'll have to grow out of this 'what, someone replied, that person must be crying at my devastating comment. Just some advice Odin. @andersbacklund6224

To point out that you are "51 years old and have seen things that would make your eyes bleed" shows how little you seem to understand. You know nothing of me or what ive seen.
      Thanks for the history lesson but Swedish steel is known across the world for its high quality. So you havent disproven me in any way. Keep on ranting if you will. But im ending this discussion from my part.

    My first experience with Mora knives was in Malaysia 6 years ago learning Jungle camping and bushcraft. A simple Mora companion and a locally made Parang were outstanding tools in the Jungle. Back home now I recently bought a Garburg and I am pleased with it. The economy, quality and usefulness is worth your time and money.

    Great review! I would also choose the carbon Garberg. As you did I first purchased the stainless version, but after Morakniv came out with the carbon version I bought that one as well. If I’m only out fishing or hunting near my home I usually bring a Kansbol or my Ahti Korpi. The last one mostly because I like a wooden handle. I’m an officer in the army in Sweden, when I went through my training and education in survival I used the Mora 2000. At that time Morakniv didn’t have the new line with Garberg, Kansbol or Eldris. My experience and previous skills as a hunter/fisherman told me that Mora knives was and still is a good knife for any serious outdoors activities. In Sweden the Mora knives is so common that almost every household owns at least one knife from their line up. Because of their price many in Scandinavia take them a little for granted. But they are really good at performing. I appreciated that you brought up that with the right technique you can use a knife in a various of applications. In Scandinavia, most of the people that are practicing outdoor activities, also bring a small or medium sized axes or a folding saw. Like the Bahco Laplander. Thanks for a great vid and sharing your knowledge!

    Since deciding to get my first bushcraft/survival knife I spent more than a year researching and looking at so many knives, I can’t believe how many there are out there. In the end I chose the Mora Garberg carbon with the leather holster just a coupe of months ago. So far so good.

      @@folksurvival unfortunately I haven’t been able to give it much use because I’ve been trapped as my Mums career who has dementia with little chance of a break. When I first bought the knife it looked like a sister was going to take over and I’d be free but that didn’t happen.
      Anyway I have small hands and it feels great in the hand and since I bought it I also got the Mora companion HD carbon which is a lot cheaper and I reckon it’s better for fine work like making fire sticks and general wood carving. I also have the Condor bush craft machete and have formed an opinion which is that the Garberg is not a bad option and not bad value for money but it’s kind of a cross between a bush craft knife and a survival knife while the bush craft parang is a better survival option and the Mora Companion would be useful in survival also but maybe not as good as the Garberg but there’s not a lot of difference. Therefore If you want to save yourself some money you might be better off buying the Mora companion HD for a quarter of the price of the Garberg and have some money left over for the Condor bush craft parang. The only problem with this option is that there would be places where you wouldn’t want to carry the parang because it’s a bit intimidating compared to a Garberg and then there is also knife laws in some countries that would make it a bit inconvenient.

      Was considering the Gerberg too, but then was thinking if something like a Companion wouldn't do the same... Probably. Even for batoning you don't need full tang. When you do your techniques right and maintain a knife like Mora Companion well, it does all you need. Especially for those 6x per year I will use it. You can buy everything top of the line but it usually isn't necessary and it's best to have a tool that works, especially for beginners. When you gain experience and know about steels and heat treatments and get experience along the way in the field you can consider different steels and design your own knifes which in my opinion has a lot more sentimental and emotional value. Just make your own knife from a file for example. You will enjoy working with it so much more than when simply get a mass production one of Amazon

    Eight months ago you recommended this Garberg and I bought one. Eight months later the Garberg is still my first choice when going to the field. It is exactly as you say Josh, it does everything I need it to do and does it well. Because of that fact, I can say this knife made me better in the field by allowing me to successfully accomplish new tasks and projects better than the knives I had been using. They were good BK knives, solid, sharp, not knocking them one bit. But the Garberg is superior in every category. And the spine, man, for me it was a game-changer. It’s a great knife. Great job Josh, congratulations for all your successes over these last several months. Thanks for the hard work.

    I use the Mora Robust and I have sharpened the back to make it 90 degree angle to use it as a striker. It is solid and it works great. I also carry a Mora Eldris as a backup knife. The Mora Eldris already comes with a nice 90 degree sharp back.

    I knew a former SF fella in the ‘70’s who swore by the Pilot Survival Knife . They were made by Camillus back then. Was the only knife he carried. Inexpensive and easy to find.
    I found them to be a good choice when I wanted to outfit a friend who was just getting into the ‘being prepared’ thing.
    We just called it camping back then. 😉

    Loved the review. I am a big fan of my Mora BCB. I will one day get the carbon Garberg for sure. If I had to pick one knife, I think it would have to be my Ontario Rat 7. It is too versatile and leaves me with a very solid knife. If I could have one knife and an hatchet, then I would probably choose my Mora BCB. Thanks for the great review.

    I own a Mora garberg in stainless steel, it is my favorite knives especially for bushcraft. But if I could only pick on knife it would be my Mora Kansbol. Because of its thinner blade and duel grind it is much better as a food prep knife, and could easily be an amazing hunting knife but at the same time can do almost everything the garberg can.

    I'll be honest, when it comes to knives a very good friend of mine that went to college with me always liked these knives and this company. With that being said I had a USMC style Ka-Bar that served me well from the time I was 13 until it got stolen when I was 22. That knife was the best ranch/field/ hunting knife I ever used

Needless to say,the Mora Garberg is most likely going to be my next knife purchase after reading the great ratings it has received. Thank you.

      @@Ben-rr1pe That particular Cold Steel knife was given to me '00-'01 plus a small box of pocket knives with maybe 10 of those. Nothing to brag about but free is free at in that case. He had also given to me a Coleman Stove that is mid to late 70's model that only needed the gas lines & burners replaced. I already had 2 of them already but I couldn't just let him trash dump it knowing it likely only needed the gas lines and burners replaced in which they did. But the Cold Steel Recon,I hadn't a clue of what I had nor did he. Lol No numbers or anything stating the type of Steel it was made from or even a name brand on it. I have other Cold Steel knives and happened to be looking through a CS catalog and seen the similarities in their most recent make. I called a CS rep,sent a pic of it via email and it was confirmed to be an older Recon Scout. Very solid and reliable knife if you spend a lot of time outdoors camping,hunting or fishing. Sorry to hear you lost yours! Have a great day and God Bless.

I think you've just helped me make up my mind on that. I'm also considering the pathfiner nesting cup.combo.

      Just understand that the Kbar is not a real field knife; more a issue combat knife. The Garburg is designed for field applications. I have a 2 generation Marine Kbar that both my dad and I carried. I don't use it for common carry field use.

Maybe if I had the Garberg before the Black the tables would be reversed. Great video.

    I have a bunch of knives, some I bought specifically for "survival". I find myself grabbing one of my Mora hd companions anytime I have to actually use a knife. I guess that means it's my favorite. To be honest, I think the sheath is half of the reason. I know people generally don't like them, but being able to clip it on and off to anything I'm wearing is a big plus. It's not a "survival" blade, but if I was ever caught with my pants down, it's more than likely the one I grabbed when I left.
