Kkt is a classic example of the effects of a Trump presidency on people who watch Alex Jones while stoned.

I've been using Mora knives for over 30 years. They are cheap, easy to bring up a razor sharp edge, light in weight, with ergonomic handles...they are time proven to be top performers. They come in Stainless as well as high carbon steel. Up to this point none have offered full tang construction. Soooo. Now, what's not to like?
This drop is for the new upgraded Version of the standard Mora Knife. It's the only knife in the product line with a full tang that runs from the tip all the way back out the end of the handle. A huge upgrade on a knife that was great to begin with. In over 40 years of working on ships, the waterfront, hunting, camping, and the Commercial Fishing Industry, I've never seen one break. (It's hard to do, but it can be done. usually using it as a pry bar works) Sea Urchin Divers use them (stainless) to pry urchins loose off rocks. It's not uncommon to see one strapped to the ankles of scuba divers, they're found on work boats, pleasure boats, on dockworkers and working piers piers, as well as campers, hunters, fishermen, construction workers, and bushcraft enthusiasts. Even your grandma's knife drawer. So, you ask what isn't perfect about them? IMHO, The sheaths are terrible, for any use other than keeping the edge safe in a drawer, or tool box. There are plenty of sheaths out there to suit your needs. All Mora knives take a razor edge. The stainless blades don't stain or rust, but you can dull them faster than the high carbon steel blades. the high carbon steel blade, does take more care and maintenance to prevent stains, and rusting. Guess its its a trade off based on your needs.
This knife is an improvement on the other Mora Knives, but Mora's $100. + price tag makes you wonder if Mora isn't engaging in a little price gouging. Massdrop has brought the price a little more into line. It's well worth joining this drop. this knife will last you a lifetime. yes the pommel extension has 90 degree edges, good for starting fires with a fire steel, breaking car windows in an emergency, and cutting your hand. Then there are guys who have used it to carve out wooden spoons. So I guess knife is what you make of it. It's not a toy, its a tool that should be used and cared for just like any other in your tool or takle box. I have no association with Mora Knives or Massdrop. Just an everyday long time user sharing my experience for what it's worth, I have lots of knives most are a lot more expensive than these. They all have their purpose and things they do best. This is a near perfect all round everyday knife for fishing, hunting, camping, and as an EDC, and a good candidate for inclusion in your bug out bag. Hope this helps.

I am very excited that we were able to negotiate a drop for the just-released Garberg.
This isn't necessarily UL or EDC, but it is Morakniv's first full-tang knife, so we thought there are a lot of members who would be interested.

Anybody have an opinion on how the Garberg would compare to, say, a Buck Selkirk. Putting aside that the Selkirk is made in China, it would appear to be on level similar to the Garberg. AND, it's on Amazon for less than $50.00, with Prime delivery. Both knives have excellent reviews, with plenty of YouTube videos. Buck has lifetime warranty... Anyone's thoughts will be appreciated...

No, man, I understand what you're getting at, and obviously it would be super-useful if there's somebody out there that just happens to own both knives and has used them extensively enough to be able to speak authoritatively about their relative merits. I'm simply offering the opinion that looking past country of manufacture is a remarkably reductive approach and in the absence of said comprehensive ownership reports it's probably not a good idea to do that. No drama --- take care!

AJAugustI bought a Fallkniven F1 copy from China recently for less than $20. While the cheap rip off copy is superficially convincing, the crisp edge on the back of the Garberg is a real tell tale sign about the quality of steel being used in the genuine article. It's a 90 degree edge on the back of the Garberg but feels like you could cut with it. The copy knife merely tickles your thumb as you run it across the back of the blade - an easily perceived difference in the quality of steel. Quality control and forgery laws are so weak in China my opinion is it's worth investing in a western country for equipment you want to trust.

Has anyone found a good horizontal/scout carry (preferably leather) sheath for a Morakniv?

I bought mine on Australian Ebay for about $20 it was described as "BLADE-TECH Mini Tech-Lok Universal Belt Clip Kydex Knife Locking w/hardware". Came with five screws, two long and three short. I used two long and one short to firmly attach the Garberg's plastic bracket to the tech-lok. The tech-lok then folds over my belt with a hinged flap and locks on. Mini version is good for belts up to 1.5inches wide, I've bought some Smurf stropping compound and will hang the knife on a leather belt so I can strop it when out bush. Bigger tech-loks do for wider belts. A number of orientations and positions are provided for on the Garberg multi-mount. Mora are selling themselves short not explaining all this on a video. Works with Molle fitting too - so I have heard.

AndyJarmanThanks a lot for the explanation and how it applies on the Garberg. I found exactly the item on both Ebay and Amazon. Now this knife makes a lot more sense for my purpose.
You said, "Mora are selling themselves short not explaining all this on a video." I totally agree!

The idea behind the bit of tang extending past the butt of handle is that the sharp 90deg edges can be used to scrape and make fine tinder for fire starting. Sometimes its awkward or not possible to use the spine for that and using the bade as a scraper will dull it much faster.

I was super excited to jump on board with this until I looked it up on amazon, and saw it was listed for $75.43 (before tax). Massdrop coming in a $73.74 (before tax)
You save a whopping $1.69 by ordering through Massdrop. Please for the love of god negotiate some better bulk pricing MD. https://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Garberg-Fixed-Sandvik-Stainless/dp/B01I1GITMA?th=1

You're right, but also there are a lot of items that do have awesome saving. Also realize that the price you listed for this item is overshot because you're assuming the current price not the lowest price, which is usually reached. The knife+leather sheath comes down to $67.24 after everything's said and done. Which is $8.19 of saving.

I'm going to reply to you to avoid an argument. Even if it's only $1-2 less than Amazon, I'm at least not supporting Amazon. I do that too much already. Besides exploiting the heck out of their employees (see links below), buying everything from them makes them a monopoly on retail. That's what they want. It's not what I want. So I ask myself: "do I need this knife on Weds? Will it change my life to have it in 2 days." No. I want it before my next outdoor adventure this Spring. It will arrive in time for that. Perfect.

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.
