Morakniv Floating Fixed-Blade Fine Edged Stainless Steel Knife

I own a number of Mora knives and adore each and every one of them. And, don't get me wrong, there are aspects of the knife that I enjoy. Lightweight, floats, has a rounded tip, and is highly visible. The tang, on the other hand, is a deal breaker. It is practically non-existent. The tang flexes in the cork handle, and it appears that it will only be a matter of time before the cork breaks off, as it is not reinforced cork over a more solid material, but rather squishy cork. The blade is also extremely thin, as others have mentioned. You can cut shrimp and bait with it, but you won't be able to cut through a large fish backbone without damaging the knife or overtightening the tang in the handle. ARRGH! I really wanted to like this knife, but it's just not strong enough to be a good boat knife, Mora. This cork isn't going to last! Disappointed! I think you could make a hollow air chamber inside a handle and still have a thin tang go deeper into the handle for more support.

Both Mora floating knives with cork handles are reviewed: The safety tip on the orange sheath is serated, and the fine edge clip point on the green sheath is fine. When comparing the two knives, the sheaths, handles, weight, length, steel type, and stock thickness are all identical. The main differences are in color and blade grind. br> For use in my canoe, I purchased a serated safety tip knife with an orange sheath. In 2020, I purchased the clip point green sheath as an ultralight hiking knife. br> These knives float well and weigh only 3. The cork handle is extremely comfortable and grippy, especially when wet, making them ideal for carrying as an ultralight backpacking knife. My magnet reveals that the tang extends to the handle's end, and that the cork is denser than a fly-swatter. Although the handle is made of cork, it has more flex than any other knife I've used. The handle flexes, but it's tough enough to handle all of your everyday knife tasks and won't break, in my opinion. Because the Tang is encased in plastic and the cork is bonded to the plastic, I don't believe the cork will rip away from the Tang as some reviewers have predicted. In my hands, the cork handle feels great and reminds me of a fly-tying tool. rod, which is extremely comfortable and more durable than you might expect. The sheath is made of high-quality leather. All Mora plastic sheaths are orange or green with a drainhole. Both knives came razor sharp and the scandy grinds were perfect. I modified the orange sheath to a sheeps foot design (see photos) to increase its usefulness as safety is my third priority. In addition, I sharpened the blade's spine. I'd recommend these knives to anyone on a budget who needs a boat/safety knife or an ultralight backpacking knife. br> I've had the orange model for two boat seasons, and under normal use, the cork on the handle shows no signs of wear, but it does pick up dirt from your hands. I've been cutting rope, fish, and wood with the orange serated edge for two boating seasons and it's held an edge and been perfect. br>I'd like to point out that the sheath is held in place by two divots on either side of the cork handle, as well as two matching nubs on the sheath. This hasn't worn out on me yet, and cork, in my experience, is far more durable than you might think. With my use, I expect it to last 20 years or more, and at this price point, most mora knives are purpose built to be used hard and replaced when worn.

The cork grip is comfortable to hold and dries quickly. I had no trouble using this knife on a ferro rod after filing the back of the knife flat with a Mill Bastard style file for two minutes, and I was pleased to find that both the knife and the scabbard float; I wasn't sure the scabbard would float. The scabbard is well-made and fits my belt as well as this knife. The fact that it is lightweight, stainless steel, and floats eliminates any concerns that campers may have about bringing this knife camping. CONS: br>br> None notedbr>br>Yes, I would recommend it to friends, and I would buy it again, as this is my third purchase from MoraKniv.

Is there anyone looking for a canine companion? I found this knife in my pocket by accident and attempted to return it. However, before I could print the return label, my amazing, very smart, and not at all obnoxious dog ate the handle, so I now have a slightly "modified" version. Apart from the large dog-shaped handle, the handle tooth- There are a few small chunks missing, but it's a nice dense cork that looks fantastic. It fits nicely in my hand, though not quite as well as it would in the jowls of an 80-pound mutt with oral fixation. I'm not sure what the purpose of the cut off tip is; I assume it's for safety or some other reason. The bright orange color will ensure that you don't lose it in a pond, river, ocean, or pool of slobber from a staffordshire terrier dog.

Cutting rope is a breeze. However, I wouldn't take it camping. Given how light it is, it feels tough. It was described as flimsy in other reviews. I suppose it's not as sturdy as a Mora companion, but it still feels nice and sturdy for its size. br>br>It's also worth mentioning the blunt tip! It's safe to poke your hand with it and it won't cut you, making it ideal for boat safety. br>br>I got two of them. It's a fantastic value! One to keep in the boat's glovebox as a rescue knife, and one to keep in my fishing bag for when I'm out on the water fishing. This is a fantastic upgrade to my mora companion, which I was already using as a fishing knife. If you plan on going boating, canoeing, or kayaking, you should invest in one of these knives. Seriously, you should have a knife on hand for safety reasons. When there isn't enough time to untangle a knot or tangle, cutting the rope is the only option. People can drown when they become entangled in ropes or lines. A good knife can save your life or the life of someone you're sailing with.
