Dave I'm 13 and was a big fan of dual survival and gald to see you on UA-cam
One thing I will point out on this video before moving on because I have answered a lot of comments here, is that this knife is made from the same steel as the 2000, which sells at 30-39.00 depending on Model and Color, the blade of this knife is almost 2 times a thick and there is about 2" more material in length, Not to mention the Kryton Handle versus Plastic, so from this stand point alone the Knife is worth at least 2 times the price, and don't forget the sheathing the 2000 is only a plastic sleeve with loop- Again not saying GO BUY it I really don't care I have NO Commitment to even sell this knife but I think it deserves a fair and un judgmental look, because without feeling the weight of this knife in the hand you do not realize this is NOT a 20.00 Mora by any stretch-
considering everything you have mentioned and taking into account the current linup from Mora, sure this knife is not in the same class as the cheaper models and it will cost more to produce and therefore the company will charge more, i can see the real price after launch will come down to 70-80 USD here in Europe. more in USA due to the weak dollar.
+wildernessoutfitters Fair enough.
+supernova1976 "Weak dollar"?! It is almost 1/1 with EURO...
In USA knives ALWAYS COST LESS than EU actually...
+wildernessoutfitters sweet, i was just staring at my 2000 wondering how it compared. thanks.
+wildernessoutfitters I would rather spend 100 for this model than "almost 100" for the "tactical version of the BushCraft Black" (the one with the "molle compatible sheath" THAT COST DOUBLE of the classical one "for no reason").
The old models are still available. If $15 is what you want to pay then buy one of those. I am tired of people bitching about the price. Mora doesn't owe you anything.
Dave, Thank you for your honesty and integrity. Your comments and reviews are golden because you maintain your central focus: honest survival information. My father always taught me that "If your word is no good, then you are no good." To you sir, your word is good with me. Thank you for continuing to be real.
On the steel: 14c28n is a great steel. It is an evolution of the 12c27, and this family of steels comes as close to bringing together the advantages of carbon and stainless steels as it gets. Compered to other stainless steels it's very, very easy to sharpen, and can be stropped back to hair poping sharpness for a long time, edge stability is also basically as good as it gets in stainless.
The price... people buy knives of lesser quality of materials and manufacturing at higher prices. It is only expensive compared to other Moras, not compared to the rest of the market.
Great demo. It was nice meeting you at SHOT, Dave.
Thanks brother
The $100price of the full tang mora for me is not the issue. For me the issue is I bought a mora companion 4 years ago and can't kill the damn thing. Then for some reason I bought a high q robust for heavy tasks because I started to secretly feel bad for the companion for beating the hell out of the thing. No doubt a full tang mora is a great knife! But all mora's are great. Great knives and great knives for the money! How do I spend 100 on a knife that is absolutely worth it when I have two for 32 that just won't let me down!
I actually prefer stainless steel in my Mora's over the carbon. I live in a very wet environment and love the ease of maintenance that comes with stainless. I don't value being able to create a spark off a carbon blade that highly -- I carry proper firemaking kit with me so that ability is useless 99% of the time. Ease of maintenance trumps that, in my opinion.
As far as sharpening goes, that's moot. I can sharpen most any knife, regardless of material.
+NothingCoherent Stainless is some good stuff I agree.
Thanks for the very .informative video Dave. Your dedication is much appreciated.
Another 100% presentation. I am so pleased that I have discovered your Channel. Thank you for all this good and sensible information.
I really love my Mora Pathfinder. It has always done anything I have needed it to. I like the butcher style knives, always have. I also carry smaller knives in my pack for certain uses. Thanks for this video.
Well spoken review Dave. Yes, I remember some of your first videos when you wore a Mora Clipper neck knife. I bought several as I followed your videos and still use them. This Garberg looks like a good knife and I will most likely buy one.
This is probably the most versatile sheath /carry system I've ever seen and I'm definitely interested in purchasing one when it becomes available.
I look forward to picking one of these up. Thanks for the great video Dave!
Dave, there isn't a video that you've made that I didn't learn something. Keep doing what you do, I love your store as well and I'm planning on placing a order my next pay day!
Been waiting on a full tang from Mora, can't wait to get one.
Well said Dave. I carry a carbon steel blade as my main "hip knife" and actually have a SS blade as a backup in my bag. So, my thought has always been that I have the best of both worlds. Thanks for the video. God Bless!
nice video dave. great to see mora making a full tang knife. hope it will open up the future to more full tang knives. can't wait to be able to see the knife in person and try it out. mora has given us many great knives at great prices and I hope everyone stands behind them with this knife like they have stood behind us all over the years. even at 100 bucks I'm sure given the history of mora it's well worth the purchase and seeing how excited you are about it I'm sure it lives up to the mora history. can't belive how many people out there are crying about a knife they have even held or seen. thanks for all you do for the bushcraft community.
Thanks Dave, good review. Everything you really need to know in a nut shell. Thanks
I will be buying this knife, looking forward to adding it to my other moras. Thanks for the review
Dave, thanks for clearing the air on all the speculations that were floating around.
Great Discussion Dave! Your videos are always awesome.
Awesome video Dave! Keep it up! - Greetings from Sweden!
Very well explained. I can imagine the knife would be a great option for coastal environments as well.
+Black Hat Bushcraft I got the Mora Companion, and near water or even dicing vegetables is 2 things I think Stainless Steel is better suited for. Don't have to worry about rust, and more food safe.
Great video, Dave. Keep them coming. Thank you.
Man I love Mora's, I very much like that there stepping into some new ground. I'm very excited to see what they do. I look forward to trying out this baby. Thanks for the great and informative video, keep up the great work!
great video as always sir. thanks much for a honest review. Blessings to you all.
Any kind of steel made by Sandvik is great!
Thank you and I just ordered stainless/leather, living in the SFBA. Cheers! 😎👍
This will be a great Kayak fishing/camping knife. Looking forward to it. Really enjoy all the Moras I have had. Couple have rusted on me in the kayak environment. Thanks for the review.
Pretty neat how you can keep on trucking with videos Dave. I remember one of your first ones in the snow with the tracker. What a journey.
Stay humble and curious.
Ty for your sharing of info. I have a clipper and will now add this to my collection.
Good thoughts as usual Dave, thanks for sharing.
This was my very first mora knife. You are 100% correct I didn't bat an eyelash at the price. Years ago I wanted to buy one good Scandinavian grind knife. I looked around and I found this one plus the Eldridge and another long skinny bladed mora knife. I tied all three knives together with zip ties as my woodworking kit.
I am so glad that you are expressing your opinion of the benefits of stainless. To me the only disadvantage is throwing sparks off the spine with a rock. Put a ferro rod on the sheath and problem solved. My stainless knives sharpen pretty easily and that doesn't bother me one bit, however the fact that it is unlikely to rust give stainless a HUGE advantage.
Nice Dave, and congrads on the link up with Mora, I like Mora and am getting more, but you have so many great knifes on your site Dave, and well your new kit knife, and the look of it, I like that raw old school look.
I enjoyed the discussion Dave.
Great video! Awesome knife! The modular sheath looks great!
definitely appreciate the honesty about it being more of a great backup knife. seems pretty awesome, didn't know mora was making full tangs.
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew there was a reason I wanted this knife... And here it is... This video made an impression, Dave. I just bought this same Mora knife with the fancy moly harness online for 80 bucks, and I can't wait to hold it in my hand, and process some firewood with it on the trail. Cheers, and best wishes brother!
I will be getting one of these, I'd love to see an extended review on this (as in years).
Yes its pricey but thats with a high quality sheath system.
Answered my FaceBook question on TPSLC, thanks Dave for your views...
great one, looking forward on getting this new blade when it comes available later this year.
Thank you Dave, great video.
I appreciate the listing of resources you have, Really makes you think.
Ignore the naysayers Dave. Keep up the good work!!
great video Dave. love mora knives. great now that it's full tang
Here is what I've learned from using this knife as my EDC for 3 months.
When I first got it out of the box I was a bit turned off by the grip material, it felt odd and like many people have said I to expected a rubberized grip. Thankfully I'm not the designer cause Mora picked an excellent material, the grip feels amazing now, it has become more smoothed out and softer feeling to the touch. Another major thing about the handle is like Dave said "the handle feels darn near indestructible" other than feeling different it looks new. The steel they used is also holding an awesome edge although I do change my grinds to fit my style but overall the retention is excellent.
I would like to see Mora do this with other knives like the Companion.....actually DEFINITELY the companion. That would be my dream knife, a companion built like the Garberg with a leather sheath, you do that Mora and NOBODY will complain esp if you used carbon steel..... So I hope that this is already being thought up..and if not PLEASE PLEASE DAVE LET THEM KNOW THATS WHAT AMERICAN CUSTOMERS WANT.😉☺
A good balanced review Dave, in my experience I find the a lot (not all) of the people who complain about the price will generally find something or another to complain about ~Peace~
i am just wondering how much it will cost if they make a full tang mora companion with the same sheath? just a thought... ☺
+Zed Outdoors
Balance. he never mentions how the balance of the knife was. He didnt complain about it, but i would be at least curious to see how well balanced the knife is.
+JERZEECOWBOY Well, I would think it to be more handle heavy than any other mora you ever saw, wouldn't you?
Another good informative vid Dave. Thanks for posting.
I'd like to to try this knife out, I carry the BK2 and love it so I'd like to feel this knife in hand and see if it holds up to my KaBar...
Tack, Dave, för en (till synes) super kniv... önskar att Morakniv hade ett "pre-order" alternativ för eran nya Gerberg.
Great video. I definitely plan on picking up one of these new Mora knives when they hit the market. I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the price, you get what you pay for. Buy equipment that you can rely on in the field.
Food for thought, cheers Dave. my next mora was going to be the bushcraft black, but now im unsure grrrrrrrr.
Thanks for video. Hope for some mora in the near future.
Dave, great, honest review! When is the release date? Thanks.
Great review
Iv got a carban steel blade and I wondering if you no any natural matirial someone that help stop rusting. Awesome vids
A full tang sandvik mora?
It's about time!
It will definitely be a huge hit, even at the suggested MSRP. Chances are, it will sell for less.
Thanks Dave for clearing all that up! Appreciate it good sir!
Good honest review there Dave, well done Sir.EDIT: It was interesting to me that they went with the stainless as well, but now I know why.
+The Woodsman School and Guide Service I think CS will come sooner than later, but at least they are moving forward into the Full tang market
+wildernessoutfitters right on
another great video. Among all of the guys on youtube or anywhere else Dave you are the man and I'm hoping to come to the pathfinder school in the next year or two. That being said sir I have a question. If you can only take one knife what would be your go to knife the bushcraft black or the garberg? or something else entirely?
Great video!
I love Mora knives! I got two of them, hardly used though, but I know they're sharp and durable as hell.
right on! I got the Mora bushcraft black and the od green stainless companion myself
good looking blade. if its mora its good. enough said on that. on a side note I got my library to buy both your books for a survival lecture I'm gonna be teaching soon. keep it up man
looks like a pretty decent knife! made if stainless, which I like. does the handle have good traction?
I bought this knife for 70 euro and I’m very happy with it. Subscribed to the channel nice video
Hey Dave, love your videos. I was just curious, do you think Mora will produce a carbon steel version; honestly?
Also, what would be your preference between the leather or plastic sheaths?
I was super excited when I heard this knife was coming out, but a bittersweet moment when I realized it was stainless.
Hope to hear back from you.
Keep up the good work buddy!
hey dave, great review but just a couple questions: how thick is the steel? and how long is the blade?
I want this knife can't wait for it to be available in the UK, I collect Mora knifes all carbon steel but I might give this stainless steel knife ago but would love carbon steel, great video keep them coming Dave. 🔪
Thanks for sharing this with us Dave! I'd love to see a comparison with the Mora 2000, which is my favorite knife for the category of use I would place this Garberg in. The 2000 has the largest tang of the common Mora knives for sale in the USA, if I'm not mistaken, and uses the same steel and basic sheath (minus the modular system). The 2000 also has a very nice grippy rubber handle that allows use in all positions with no hot-spots (on my hands, at least). I would love to own the Garberg too.
Here we are, nearly six and a half years later, and I bought a spare Garberg in stainless off Amazon today for $55.
I like how people always complain about wanting a full tang mora, completely disregarding them because they werent full tang. And now that it's here, those same people are whining about the not over the top price. Now, granted, this isn't all mora fans, but if people like and already use mora knives but don't want to spend the 100 bucks, they wont, they'll just use the $13 version. Comes down to people just want to complain, you'll never please everyone, theres always people, normally people who don't use the product in the first place, that will find something to bash about a company.
New to your stuff. You quoted G.W. Sears (smoothing it, not roughing it). Now I know why I like your stuff.
Mora makes some awesome knives. Big fan of the brand!
Just so you know Dave, I have only a little interest in knives, mainly for spoon carving. However, I really enjoyed your talk on the Mora knife. Well done. Nice beard BTW.
I watched a couple videos of yours on budget bushcrafting and I found one you would like, it's a heavy shower curtain for under 5 dollars at the local Wal-Mart. the gromets are already on it and it's water proof.
Looking forward to this knife, does anyone know if it comes in other colors?
I agree, 14c28n is a great steel. Thank you!👍
I just got one! Really excited to test it out. 60 bucks with the leather sheath. I live in the pacific northwest and with all the rain I really like SS knives.
I have great amount of respect for your opinion my friend. Thanks for all you do.
I really like the modular sheath system shown at the end. I bet if I put that on a quad I could also use it for my other moras...
dave help please i live in ms garberg carbon or stainless steel which should i buy and why i trust your opinion i know you have used both thank you im a true fan
As always , an honest and truthworthy review from a gentleman.
nice dave love it
What's your take on wet fire keep it in my pack along with tube full of dryer lint
Did Mora discontinue to Fire Knife (knife with a Light My Fire in the handle)? I was able to pick up two of those last year for under $20, i think actually closer to $15 and really think they are great knives for the money. I understand the want/need for full tang but the tang on the Mora Fire knife works fine for my needs.
Dave , do you know if blanks will be available? I seen one on the table without scales and was wondering if thats just to show what the tang looks like or will there be an option to buy a blank blade?
Nice work! Where is the shirt from?
What if it is so cold that you do not know whether the wood snaps due to being dry or from being cold?
thanks for the video atb
would you buy this over a bushcraft black as a second knife? I'm currently using an f1 with a Mora robust as back up or my pukko if I'm planning carving tasks
Yaaaaaay ! thank you for this review
I picked one of these up recently and coming from a man that owns multiple Moras I can say this; This knife feels substantial. I wouldn't hesitate to depend on this knife if I had too. I paired this knife with my modified Esse 6, and between the Two I feel like I have quite a lot of bases covered. Combined with a folding saw and an axe, there's not a lot I can't do. Now if I was lost in the woods with just this Mora Garberg would I feel screwed? Any survival situation sucks, but having that blade with me would make it a lot easier that's for sure. If you're on the fence about the Garberg don't be. It's strongly built and ready for the task at hand. And on top of that, it's probably the best fire-making knife I have ever used. That 90 degree spine is pretty gnarly. It will throw sparks like you won't believe.
Very good, Thank you very much
Would pay $100 which works out in UK £65 every day of the week. Would just wait for the carbon steel version. Love the sheath!
Did you check out that skinning knife they make I mentioned earlier?
He's invisible! This knife is awesome! Oh there he is. Well played Dave.
I finally got the Garberg and it is great.Actually I don't think it is expensive because if you buy it on time it will save you from buying more knives and second -it doesn't have much competition in this price range.
I am a Dutch fan of you David.
That sheath is pretty slick. I'd definitely put that knife on a boat or ATV. Being stainless, it makes sense for situations where the knife might get wet.
