I really like this knife. High quality, low price and a real "all purpose" knife. The blade is small but strong. The handle fits very well in the palm of your hand.

I highly recommend the Morakniv Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized knife to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile tool.

I've had and lost or broken more knives then I could count. Cheap ones, expensive ones, you name it. I also spent the better part of 10 years as a meat cutter and manager for a meat market followed by several years selling knives and other equipment. So I love knives and definitely have opinions, including the opinion that "cheap" doesn't mean bad. I've had more cheap knives that I'd buy again and recommend then I'd ever recommend something like benchmade. That being said, for me this is as close to perfect for an edc as I could ask for. It's insanely sharp, has a great spine for scraping kindling and then throwing sparks from your ferro rod. The steel has held up well to everything I've thrown at it so far, and easily gets its edge back. I even used an old trick I learned with the corner of a hard cardboard box, using it like a strop to get the edge back. Fantastic little knife for food prep as well.The only negative i have is that my hands are fairly big so I can only get a 3 finger grip on this thing. Even with that though, the shape and material of the handle are fantastic which give a very positive and confidence inspiring grip. I highly recommend this knife.Fits in a pocket well, or use some paracord to make it a neck knife and attach your ferro rod to keep them together. The sheath has very good retention so the knife won't fall out but there's options if you don't feel safe with that.

To be honest I only bought the eldris because it's an adorable version of my kansbol. Turns out it's a pretty handy little knife. Lot of work in a small easy to carry package. Great for small more precise work and to top it off it's just as well made as any other mora.

I love this knife. While it isn’t necessarily the best Mora for the money, it also isn’t super expensive for the quality you’re getting here. I love that it has the unfinished blade spine, and I can confirm that this does help with using a fire steel. I’ve also seen reviews say that the unfinished spine makes it uncomfortable to use in a pushing based carving style. Firstly, I wouldn’t get this specifically as a carving knife, though for me it does work well for that in addition to other functions. And secondly, the spine hasn’t really been noticeably uncomfortable while carving, even when I do push the spine of the blade (which is at least 50-60% of the time for my carving style). Something I was skeptical about was the compound grind on this blade. But, even though this is a pretty small fixed blade, the compound grind actually does work well for it. It doesn’t sacrifice the ease of sharpening the blade, because the scandi grind angle actually remains consistent throughout the blade, so it’s still one relatively easy to find sharpening angle. And, the compound aspect of the grind allows you to have a greater variety of cutting angles when you need that kind of thing. In terms of blade steel, I think you’d have unrealistically high expectations for this price point to be disappointed by its quality. It’s nice and stiff, sharpens relatively easily, and holds an edge, even with a true scandi grind. This knife does come sharp out of the box, but with about an hour of work, some varying grades of sandpaper and strop, it’s actually really easy to take that sharpness up a notch and put a real razor edge on the knife. The handle is great for a guy with big hands like me, and the grip on it works well. My only real gripe with this is the sheath. For me, when I wear this knife and I go hiking, I can be jumping around a little, climbing a bit, and other higher energy activities. And I have had situations where it’s fallen out of the sheath because of an impact that I would really expect a good sheath to hold well against. Because of this, if you’re going to particularly active while wearing this, to add a quick release stopper knot on a land yard through the hole on the end of the handle to make sure everything is as safe as can be. Other than that, I’d strongly recommend this!

Sometimes you don't need a lot of blade, but a lot of leverage. and I am talking about kitchen use, but really, any use. Yes, you can use a 3" knife, but to have more control, you need to get closer to the tip, so you need to hold it in a pinch grip, but pinch grip is not really the strongest grip.This is where this knife shines. I wish they would make one with a hawk bill as well. I know I am asking for literally a utility knife. But I need something easy to wash. Also, generally, if they make a small blade, they give you tiny handle, often it is not stainless, or it is a folder, which is not easy to wash in the kitchen situation.Anyway, this is a unique knife, with a niche application, but one that most knife makers ignore. I am glad that there is at least one knife maker who understands. And also, let's not forget the quality and the price, both make this knife exceptional as well.
