Featuring the flexibility of a lightweight knife with the strength of a more robust model, the Pro-C is an upgraded version of the popular 511 Basic knife. It features a carbon steel blade measuring 3.6 inches that can tackle anything from slicing to piercing to skinning Read More
These are good economy knives...one that you keep oiled to keep the corrosion down, and can throw behind the seat of your truck for emergency use. I've had knives such as these for years...nothing I'm proud to show off to my friends or carry on a daily basis, but an essential knife to have as a tool, not a toy. It's not pretty, and it's not high quality, but it works, and works well.
I keep one behind the seat of the truck, another in the bed box of the truck, and a third in the tool box at work. You never know when you're going to need one, and the day you don't throw your trusty Case or Buck in your pocket or on your side...well that's the day you're going to wish you had one of these.
I bought this to take fishing. I'm not filleting fish, but I wanted a knife to have on me when required. I don't spend much time in the woods bushwhacking and stuff. I'm not a knife expert, but I love tools. The carbon in the blade makes the steel harder, and I use carbon steel tools (tweezers, for example) for jobs that I don't want to ruin the softer steel.
The carbon blade will stay sharper for longer. It is more prone to patina and corrosion. The very first time I used it the blade had stains. Keep the blade oiled to prevent corrosion. It also works better than any steak knife I've used, though it looks odd at the dinner table.
I bought one of these in stainless for work, it's excellent. It's the best knife I've ever owned for cutting extremely heavy duty cardboard. It also cuts through heavy duty plastic bands very well. It's very thin and very comfortable. And the price is an absolute win for the knife you're getting.
It is a true scandi grind.
kuhnsrcRight? Plus, QC on Moras is pretty variable. I guess it's part of the fun of these knives being a bargain, but if you happen to get a piece that's really messed up, Amazon will have you covered and just replace it.
SmallchangerainI'm pretty sure they do not have a squared off spine. I think it was this one that I watched a few videos where people have been modding them and one of the mods is to square the spine with a file for fire striking.
Is it me or is simply saying " carbon steel blade" sound like a line from a 1950's add for a knife? Maybe back in the days when people still sold knives made of iron and bronze but 21st century? If I can't find the blade via a handy reference like http://knifeinformer.com/discovering-the-best-knife-steel/ I'm not touching it.
I picked up a Basic 511 Morakniv when it dropped recently. Can anyone give me a quick rundown on differences between the Basic 511, Pro-C, and the Companion HD that's also dropping right now? It looks like all three are carbon steel, and the Pro-C says it's an upgrade of the Basic 511. Are we talking a more comfortable handle, or also a better blade?
I concur with Bookworm13, he knows this line very well. I have the 511 and its a good knife but too short for me. The companion is a perfect camp/food prep knife that complements a bigger workhorse for heavy chores. People say you can use it for batonning and there are plenty videos that support that but if you only can have 1 knife I wouldn't make this my first choice, not to take away from the knife but it really is the best companion (great name) knife money can buy for the price/performance ratio.
SoundtoxinIn most cases, the difference in models of Mora are blade shape, and handle constitution. The steel remains the same until you step up to that one Mora full tang knife they make.
