Questions & Answers
The Mora Knives snap into the sheath, as others have stated. So, while the photo may not show it, the knife does not fall out even when held upside down.
I ordered one but have yet to receive it; however, I read that replacement strikers were available or would be available in the future. I hope this information is useful.

Because it's required by the state of California if it's going to be sold there. They have a long list of chemicals that are used in the production of almost everything, so if one or more of them were used in the production of the item, the warning label must be present. However, as far as I'm aware, the vast majority of items bearing that label are perfectly safe to use. Thank you for taking the time to look at my website!br>Jim

Let's start with the positive. The sheath that comes with it clips very securely to your belt (almost too securely, as it can be difficult to remove at times), and the blade gives you nice solid confirmation that it's locked in to the sheath. br>br>The drawbacks. Although the built-in flint is a clever idea, it does have some disadvantages. First and foremost, I was worried about it coming loose from the handle during heavy use. Yes, that is correct. The locking clip for the flint stopped staying in place while using the knife after about a week of heavy use, and it would occasionally fall out or, at the very least, come undone, and I'd have to check it before putting it back on my belt. Second, the flint isn't very long lasting. Maybe someone who is more skilled at starting fires could make it last longer by not striking it as much, but after two weeks of use (starting one to two fires per day), the flint was clearly worn out. At this rate, I'm guessing it'll only last a season. This wouldn't be an issue if the flint were a cartridge that could be replaced, but it's a one-piece affair. Unless MoraKniv sells replacements specifically for this knife, it will become no better than the standard MoraKniv companion, which is half the price. br>br>The bottom line: Don't get this knife; instead, get the standard Companion and a separate fire starter kit. It'll cost about the same, if not less, and you won't be out of luck when your flint wears out.
This is a typical Mora knife, with a top-notch blade and a bare-bones, functional design. I'm deducting a star because I'd prefer the lanyard to pass through both the knife and the firestarter, ensuring that they stay together in the event of an accident.
In general. KNIFE is a fantastic tool. When I tried to use the ferro rod, however, I cut the hell out of my finger. I was doing everything I could to keep myself safe, but I still managed to cut my finger. This knife, I can assure you, is razor-sharp. But I couldn't get a single spark to fly from the rod or the knife, which is good for the price, feels good, and has a good sheath. However, I paid for the spark knife because I wanted to use it in the way it was intended. As a result, the overall rating is only one star.
We're almost a week ahead of schedule - Blade for a companion. I'll post an update if there's a problem with the ferro rod's retention. I have faith in Mora's quality. I'm not sure why a $15 knife with a ferro rod costs $29, but it's a feature I wanted:.
I received this item today and was surprised to discover that it came with the WRONG COLOR SHEATH, dark green instead of black, and a scribbled-out sticker? How did they get that to be so high? Mora is one of my favorite brands because of the authentic scandi grind they provide, but they have also disappointed me in this regard. My companion spark had a secondary bevel on both sides of the blade (see photos). Damn Morakniv, I own a few of your knives and love them all, but you really screwed this one up. I'm returning it right away and won't be ordering this knife model again.
I use it as a fishing knife because it is stainless steel and will not rust. Right out of the box, it's razor-sharp. When I want to eat a freshly cooked meal, I use the included fire starter to start my fires. At camp, by the river, or on the lake, I caught fish. For the money, this is an excellent knife. I can wear the sheath on my belt or keep it in my pack. It's not too heavy. It's a Morakniv, for those who aren't familiar with the term. What else is there to say? This is a knife that I strongly advise you to buy.
I like the less-is-more approach with this knife. This has a gleaming appearance. I like the color options on this series, which remind me of a Garberg finish, which is better for the sharpened 90-degree spine. In comparison to other models, this one is a little different. I'd say the size and grip capabilities of the fire steel handle are a bit of a letdown. It's not the most difficult to work with, but it's far from ideal. I think this knife is best for hiking or camping, where you won't need the fire steel to start fires (many places don't allow them in the summer anyway), but it's handy to have on hand to start propane stoves and alcohol burners, or as a backup information room source. It's ideal for light wood preparation or whittling, as well as other small tasks and outdoor food preparation on the trail.
I have a couple of other Moraknivs, both of which I use for carving, though one of them has also been used for camping. The shorter carving knife (I believe it's a 106?). ) blade has softer steel folded over a harder core that takes a wicked edge, whereas the other does not. This one is razor-sharp and will whittle sticks beautifully, and the striker produces a lot of sparks - If you want to build a fire with it, make sure you have the right kind of tinder on hand. The sheath's red is fairly muted, and the black of the handle further mutes it, so it's not as eye-catching. It was as enticing as I had feared it would be - I dislike camping gear that is too bright or has colors that aren't found in nature. Overall, I think it's a really good, rugged knife that should serve me well as a camping and outdoor tool. The handle feels solid in my hand, the blade clicks nicely into the sheath (we'll see how that holds up over time), and it's a really good, rugged knife that I think will serve me well as a camping and outdoor tool. At this price, you're getting a great knife that won't break your heart if you lose it and that you can dedicate to hard work in a way that a more expensive knife might not allow you to.
