Morakniv Garberg Knife

FULL DISCUSSION

I recently bought this fantastic knife from a local supplier here in Australia for roughly the same price.
The multi mount sheath is a bit bulky but I intend to use it for mounting with a mini tec-lok horizontally on the front of my belt. I find vertical hanging in the usual bush knife manner with my other knives gets in the way of my pack's hip belt.
The edge on the back of the blade is remarkably crisp, I may have to round it a bit with a fine file where my thumb touches the back of the blade its so crisp! Great for using with a ferro rod.
The rubber on the handle is harder than my Fallkniven F1, a tiny bit more slippery, but probably more rugged when you intend to belt the back of the blade while holding it.
The multi mount comes with a rubber-like belt loop that slips over the simple plastic sheath. This way of wearing the knife is much simpler than using the multi mount, you simply leave the plastic multi-mount bracket at home. If the front mounting with the multi mount and mini tec-lok doesn't work out, I'll buy a dangler and use this second simpler way of wearing it on my hip.
I intend to slip a bike inner tube over the plastic sheath, this will serve as waterproof kindling and it will hold my ferro rod in place where I need it.
The lanyard hole in the handle is teeny weeny, but I did manage to get a piece of orange para-fire-cord through it twice. I have dropped knives and lost them in the past, so attaching a brightly coloured useful lanyard to the knife is a wise move.
There is a bit of a secondary bevel on the blade, disappointing on a scandi-grind, you will have to spend a bit of time with a whetstone if you are particular about such fine details. For me I intend to use it batoning on standing dead wood so a bit of secondary bevel will make the blade just that bit less prone to rolling its edge if I hit a nail or particularly hard knot in the wood.
