OhWhyHello$15 vs. $13 is more than a 13% discount, which is a significant difference - especially for a smallish-ticket item. Some like to get their purchase immediately; others value frugality.

Even though it's not the heavy duty is it still worth it? Seems like a good deal

ExonauticGrab a chef knife from your kitchen. Place it inside your backpack. Do you see an issue yet?
Also you proved my point. Precisely because one does not cook something elaborate on a hike or camp, they would use a knife like the Mora for food prep. No one carries a chef knife to peel/cut a fruit or open packaged items in the woods. I have already used the Moras for pretty much every kitchen chore one would also do at home and it works fine. Certainly nothing I wouldn't think to do because it somehow infringes on some nonexistent ideals or standards.
I've also prepared meals with my Leatherman, Victorinox, Spyderco, Opinel, etc. Why? Because away from home and civilization you don't get a choice except to use what's available to you.
You should try hiking/camping once in a while. You learn a lot.

rogerxd45Lol. Yeah, thought that even as I wrote it.
Having been an outdoorsman since the 1970s, am amazed at all of the stuff that was considered ridiculous back then that has become the "only" way to go these days. We did not baton knives, worry about full tang, worry about counting ounces (no one even knew what grams were back then), our gear was steel and canvas, our food was in cans, etc. Oh the horror! It's a wonder we survived! Lol.
These survival myths came out of military survival schools and have very little to do with making our way in the woods on camping and backpacking trips. Paracord, knives as pry bars, magnesium for fire starting, waxed or PJ coated cotton balls, etc and more came from there. When you have an endless supply of paracord, cotton balls, etc free - courtesy of the military - of course you use them for everything.
When you are cutting your way out of a downed plane (which is where thick tough knives as pry bars with saw teeth on the spine came from) and only needing to survive a couple hours up to a couple days until rescued, your needs and priorities are vastly different than wandering the woods. Think about it, saws on knives are a bad idea from both safety and usefulness standpoints. The thicker the saw, the more wood we must remove. Thick knives do not cut as well and are harder to maintain in the field. None of that serves us well in the woods!
But hey, I have a totally different perspective than most between growing up on a homestead/farm and stomping the woods since before most of y'all were born. I've watched the progression of gear over skills and dollars over common sense that most have not been here or paying attention to see.
I'd stack any of us from back then against 'most anyone nowadays. We didn't bail, we improvised. We may have shivered through the night on occassion, but we learned our lesson and didn't make that mistake twice.... instead we made new ones! In the '80s I had a set of meals that the can from the first meal became my cook pot, the next my mug, then bowl, fry pan, hobo stove, etc. From the third day on had a full cook kit. Long story short is I think it's a shame most rely upon spending dollars on gear these days rather than skill and improvisation.
The tang on Moras reaches nearly to the end of the handle. In that regard, they are "full tang". Some will say "Moras are not full tang because the tang reduces in size within the handle". Well, have you ever seen any knife that doesn't??? Nope. Think about it, the handle would be too large to fit most hands if the tang remained the same height as most blades. Besides, the balance would be awful! Bottom line is, if you know what you're doing, it won't matter if the knife is full tang or not. If you don't know what you're doing, full tang isn't going to save you.
Cheers Rogerxd45, thanks for the chuckle! Hope you find the rant amusing, if not useful.

We should try to get more Scandinavian knives on here, in the future. Brands like Helle, Kellam, and Martiini--They're more expensive than Moras, but if you like simplistic bushcraft/outdoor utilitarian knives that aren't Chinese-made crap; those would be some good choices for someone that wants a more refined knife. Mora is still a great choice nonetheless.

It has nothing to do with the country. It has to do with mass production i.e. quantity over quality, which China is not so modest about. It's not taking a dig at China or the people, it's a criticism of craftsmanship, and standards. If you want something out of a gigantic factory in China, then that's your choice. I like a knife that isn't made from a company that outsources all of their manufacturing and craft to Chinese sweatshops. But if there are some local Chinese craftsman-in China- that make reputable steel knives and other well crafted blades, that's wonderful, and I respect their trade, and I'll spread word of it.
And how about draw up some choices for people to vote on; if you're so keen on defending on Chinese knife manufacturing.

I have a Mora Companion..and here is a tip for owners. The Carbon Steel blade will rust easily. Either keep it coated with a light coat of oil, or put a patina on it using boiling apple cider vinegar. You can easily find instructions on how to do this online.
Mora makes excellent low cost knives. I routinely use mine when camping and backpacking.

Huge piece of garbage! The tip of the knife broke after I used it to remove 3 staples from a piece of wood, barely any pressure put on it.

CarsonMA knife is meant for cutting. It's not a prybar, screwdriver, hammer, wedge, fork, toothpick, etc.
One wouldn't ask a chef to service a car then blame him if the engine blows.
Moras have a Scandi grind which doesn't have a secondary bevel to make it extra thin behind the edge that helps it bite into wood but makes it extra inappropriate for prying.

Anyone who has this knife know if it's full tang? I've been looking for a good fixed blade knife for backpacking and camping. Thanks!

ZombiejayNot a full tang. Tang goes from where it was inserted in the handle to the end of the "R" in MORA. How do I know this? This knife couldn't withstand the raw fury of a 20 hp riding lawnmower. Seriously, the blade was ripped out of the handle and the tang was bent. A few marks on the edge and that's it, still sharp and I've used this blade extensively. I plan on fixing the tang and making a custom handle. I've used this knife for feathersticks, splitting wood, carving pot hooks and food prep. Just ordered 4 more. One to replace the handle-less one I have and three for my kids.

ZombiejayNot full tang... but extremely robust. Check out Nutnfancy's review, he shows one cut in half to demonstrate.

I love the fact that knives made in Sweden can't be shipped back to Sweden due to being considered dangerous items.

Received my Mora. Great, solid design. Lightweight but still sturdy. First thing I did was stick it in a couple of lemons for a couple of hrs to put a nice non-corrosive "blue" patina on it. If you try this don't leave it in too long or it will develop (red, corrosive) rust.

I did it by putting it through 2 lemons. I actually left it a bit long and got some surface rust (red rust) but took care of it easily with some steel wool. I'll post a pic soon.

Risky? Not at all. Won't damage the knife and you can easily remove the patina then start over from scratch. Patinas are a type of nondestructive oxidization (rust is a destructive type of oxidization), which means that thin layer is no longer reactive. Thus protecting the rest of the steel in the knife. Leaving it in an onion overnight makes a nice pattern. Fun playing around to get various hues and patterns.

I have quite a collection of Mora's:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_4pPLLvUXaSYUJKY3JHRFFUZU0/view?usp=sharing
so I think I can speak with some authority when i say they are the best bang-for-the-buck knives on the planet. Durable, great steel and they take an edge like nothing else I have found.
What I would love to see drop is one of these:

ibbilboGood call. I would also love to see a deal on the black Bushcraft knife with the fire starter.
I was tempted to spring for this carbon Companion knife but, LOL, I remembered I already have like 8 or 9 various Mora knives, most of which I haven't used yet. In fact, I think I already own this very model.
Highly recommended, though, for anyone looking for a great knife at a great price.
