MoraknivBushcraft Stainless Steel 4.3-Inch Fixed-Blade Survival Knife with Fire Starter and Sharpener

If you're familiar with Mora knives, you pretty much know what you're getting with this. It's an excellent knife for a great price. It comes from the factory with a razor-sharp edge, and this one sports a stainless-steel blade so I don't have to worry too much about getting it wet or using it near the ocean. Bushcrafters may prefer a larger knife and think the lack of a full tang is a deal-breaker, but this is plenty long enough and strong enough to baton small logs. (Personally, I think if a log is too thick to baton with this knife, you should be using a hatchet or axe anyway.)My one complaint, as with all Mora knives, is the lack of a lanyard hole, which I personally think is a bit of an oversight especially on a knife specifically labeled as a survival model. But it's not enough for me to knock a star off the rating since it's simple enough to drill one if you really want to, given that it's not a full-tang blade. (Again, I wouldn't let that it's not a full-tang blade worry you. I've never heard of anyone breaking the handle of a Mora knife.)The orange color is bright enough that you don't have to worry about not being able to find it if you drop it somewhere, but isn't as day-glo as I was a bit worried it might be.The ferro rod that comes with the sheath is fine, fitting in the sheath and sparking off the back of the blade well. The diamond stone in the sheath seems like it would do the job in a pinch, but I think I'll stick to a regular sharpening stone. The sheath itself is nothing fancy, but has good retention on the blade and comes with both a loop and a belt clip, both that attach using a swivel that's stiff enough that you could carry the knife scout-style if you want, at least until the swivel loosens over time.Overall, this is the same great quality knife at an affordable price that Mora is famous for producing, and with a weather-resistant stainless steel blade. Zero complaints.

Great toolI’ll add my 2 cents to the thousands of MoraKniv fans - count me amongst you!!The sheath is solid, hold the knife firmly, I have no fears that the knife will come out accidentally. Very solid affirmative “click” on insert and requires a pretty firm tug to unsheath. Very satisfied with the sheath. The holder for the ferous rod is also smartly designed and again I’m sure it’s secure. The integrated stone is a nice touch - sure it’s small and not as easy to use as your large stone on your bench at home but in the field this is great - I had no trouble touching up my edge after use. The knife itself feels great in my hand, balanced, and sufficient but not excessive weight - very practical- the grip is also very well thought out. I wear an xl glove and this knife is a good fit - could be fatter for me but it’s not a custom knife and my hand didn’t tire after using the knife for a few hours. The top of the knife is a square cut to allow good strikes on the ferous rod - it works extremely well and I’ve started several fires with just dry shavings the knife produced hit with a shower of sparks. Note though that if you don’t want to start fires with the ferous rod then perhaps this isn’t the knife for you as that back edge is actually sharp. When working with a knife I often have my hand or fingers on that back edge and I found that quite uncomfortable with the ground edge - not a defect at all, it was designed that way - just a trade off - want to start fires or use both hands on the blade??? The ferous rod itself is the traditional size and has a useful “handle” for your thumb and finger. Once you get good at using these the smaller the better.Great knife, glad I have it - I have several more on order!

I was carrying the Morakniv light my fire edition. I went to this variation so that I could do batoning thanks to its full and thicker tine. The sharpener is a nice bonus as are the different connection options. As with all Moraknivs the design is well thought out and the craftsmanship great. I used a Japanese whetstone to put a razors edge on this puppy and so far it has held that edge through batoning and usage (I just strop it here and there). The fire starter is great and solid, the 90 degree backbone of the tine allows simple sparking of the ferro rod . I like the holder for the firestart, though you may want to take advantage of the hole they put in it and put a loop of string (though I think it would be almost impossible for it to work itself out). The blade itself slides into the sheath and once clicked you know it will never come out without intention. My only issue is that it is harder to pull out than the Morakniv Light My Fire Edition which had a thumb rest to gain leverage from when removing the knife.I have an OKC Blackbird SK5 bushcraft knife in a HedgeHog Leather Works sheath that is my heavy duty bush craft knife, but I can't carry that in all the places I do this Morakniv

I have the orange version as a truck/trunk knife. This is a lot easier on the eyes but otherwise they are the same and far far more knife than the price would lead one to believe. The sharpener could be handy, the ferrocium rod is held tight and quality, the knife is amazingly comfortable in all grips, stout, with a light stropping scary sharp and holds a good edge, the spine is squared off for use with the ferro rod but works well to debark sticks for skewers and other jobs. Its a heavy duty knife, i have been tempted by the full tang garberg but love the handle of these and its burly enough to do anything - cant imagine how you could break it, easily handles batoning if thats your thing. Superb knife and good sheath...

This item has done wonders for my son who does survival trainings! Great quality and super sharp blade!
