I’m a “Mora” newbie myself. Just bought my first mora, “light my fire” I do like it alot, came with firesteel rod. Thanks for video, Greg in Kentucky 👍🏻
For ease of sharpening in the bush? Isn't carbon supposed to be a lot easier to sharpen in more makeshift ways such as on a rock or whatever? My Mora Companion is Carbon, as is the 1095 woods knife I made. I use a belt sander to sharpen though so sharpening stainless isn't a problem for me, but in the woods it might be different... if I had more time to be in the woods that is. Great video as always Dave!
Bushradical I'm late for this discussion but I got the Blackblade which is also in carbon when it first came out. They are both part of the bushcraft series. As tjwright poses, it was made to be easily sharpened. Also as you eluded to you can get a better spark from a carbon knife. The black coating is supposed to inhibit rust. These are also very strong knives. I jimmied my bedroom door open when the doorknob broke and all I had was this knife. I also prefer the more high tech stainless knives but I have this as part of a BOB. I keep it in a Ziplock with silica gel as I live in humid central Illinois.
@@n9oqu diamonds do not give a hoot how much chromium is in your blade. Nowhere is it carved in stone (pun intended) that you have to be able to sharpen a knife on any old rock you find. I'm sure you have a bug-out bag or survival kit... just get a simple diamond stone to put in it and stop worrying about it. You'll be happier in the long run, I promise :)
I'll take carbon steel any day. I carry char cloth in my kit plus it's easy enough to make with a cotton bandana and a tin. It's not hard to keep carbon steel from rusting. I live fairly close to the Gulf Coast and don't have a problem with rust with minimal care. Plus, their carbon steel seems to hold and edge longer.
Your right about everyone loving Mora knives, for quality, value and functionality they are just great, and owning something manufactured in Sweden is nice too!
Dave, I own a Mora. I don't put it to come daily hard use. I go camping once for every season now. I do have a Stainless Steel Morning. My knife has served me well. I did put a Mill file to the spine to get the sharp 90 degree edge. I wanted that just in case I was ever put into a situation where my knife would make the difference. I always have 4 ways of making a fire if needed. Thanks for sharing your insights on these beautiful and very useful knives. Stay safe in the woods.
I have a Morakniv Robust; 3.5" carbon blade. I like it well enough I bought a few and gave them as gifts. The Robust came with the dull spine, I used a Dremel and sharpened a couple inches near the handle, just on one side though since I only use it with my right hand. I use it for everything from camping to in the kitchen at home. If you've been hand sharpening knives for many years it does take a bit to get used to sharpening the Mora, it's a different angle than the standard knife. I don't normally baton my knives, but if I do I know the Mora can take it. I've seen videos of people putting Mora knives through absolute torture. Batoning through tin cans, cutting nails in half. Beating the blade with a hammer. Pounding the blade into a tree then "jumping" on the handle. And the Mora stood up to it all. You can't beat the price of these things. I think I paid $23 with shipping for the Robust. I won't be heart broken if I damage or lose it like I would with a $100 or $200 knife. My other favorite affordable brand that I've been using since I was a kid is Schrade. I've owned quite a few of their straight blades, and lock blades over the years.
Dave: Yes, Schrade makes the Old Timer. My current one is the Schrade Old Timer 1650T Woodsman. The brand name was sold and they're made in China since 2004 but it's still a really good affordable knife. The same Chinese company also bought and make Uncle Henry, Imperial, and Smith & Wesson knives.
I have carried many different Mora's and they are great. I now use a Hultafors OK4 Expedition knife. It is small, carbon steel,sharp spine,ferro rod holder on sheath and very comfortable to use.
Andy Ho The stainless steel came about because of rust factor. I'm 74 years old and every stainless I've had wouldn't hold a edge worth a nickel. If you don't take time to care for your knife then stainless is the way to go because rust will dull your knife. Look at some of your straight razors. Double Duck razors for example.
Andy Ho that's very true, stainless has chromium in it and chromium will not take the edge like high carbon. Stainless will hold its edge longer but you can't get that highly polished edge like on a cutthroat razor. I've tried stainless steel razors and can't get them to the point they won't pull when using them. You'll never get stainless or high carbon steel as sharp as flint.
"Carbon holds an edge better" is straight up BULLSHIT. You'd be amazed to find out there are dozens of different stain-resistant alloys, some of which are every bit as tough and easy to sharpen as 1095 or O1 (AEB-L springs to mind) and the majority of which have higher wear-resistance than plain carbon steel. Wear-resistance = edge-holding. I like carbon steel just fine, I use it almost every single day. But pleeeeease stop repeating utter nonsense because you heard some dork on the internet or TV say it, or because you found one cheap stainless knife with half-assed HT that didn't hold an edge and now you think all stainless steel is the same.
Great review Dave! Man I LOVE Moras. Got a whole bag full of them lol. If you look at my knives they are all pretty much Mora or LT Wright. Hopefully I can get a Dave Whipple knife soon😀💪🏻. You can get that same bushcraft black setup in stainless. I think it’s just called the bushcraft stainless? My favorite is also the companion.🙂 that bushcraft black is a very strong knife. I’ve done things with that I wouldn’t dare do with a companion.
Nice knives and good review. You pointed out some very good reasons you like the Mora knives. Brad Richardson's knife looks impressive. They all should serve you well for a long time. Thanks to those that sent you the knives.
I have the little blue guy. I love it! I keep it in my shop just lying around, and I find myself using it for everything. It’s the only Mora I’ve ever owned. I’m glad to hear someone else say how ridiculous it is to have a carbon knife just to try and strike a spark from a rock into cloth that you brought in and charred with a Fire you already started.
I'm impressed by the Moras I've used, too ... and I agree, the cutting edge running right up to the handle seems so intuitive. I love this for making fine cuts! Great review, sir ... looking forward to more videos in your knife making shop.
I have the companion stainless. I'm not really fond of a stainless knife, but it's great for canoeing or in the rain. I won the Mora from a giveaway. It was sharp, but not like I had always heard they were. In other words it would cut but not great and it wouldn't shave. I decided to sharpen it and found two different angles on the scandi grind. One side was 15 degrees and the other was 22 degrees. I matched them both to 15 degrees per side and now it's the sharpest knife I own.
Happy to hear you like the Mora! Mora has a loooong tradition in Sweden that started in Dalarna Sweden, town Mora ofcourse. 400 years ago.. Yupp, you red it right 400 years! The company with its brand name started in the 1890 ies. I think every nature and adventure kid in Sweden had a Mora as a first knife, and i for one use it still. About the carbon buschcraf knife. It needs TLC. If wet, whipe it off and oil it in with therefore apropriate oil. Then it will be a really good friend for a long time! :)
I have wanted to clean up that knife.....but I wanted to shoot this video first just to show the rust happening despite the finish. Great knife though.
I live in a n environment where carbon steel will rust, but what i did was soak my carbon steel Mora in vinegar and that creates a nice forced patina to protect against rust and it removes previous rust too if you wipe it off after soaking for some time
If I remember correctly, a ricasso was present on swords because it allowed people to place their index finger above the guard to get a better grip, and some swords had much larger ricasso's to allow a person to grip the blade at the base to increase the user control and power. On small knives with no guard its kinda like a vestigial organ of our history, though to be fair some say it provides additional strength at a common stress point (the transition from the blade to the tang).
Good info. I never gave it much thought, but I have had a few knives with large un-sharpened sections and it always drove me nuts. I see the use on a sword for sure....and the stress point makes sense too.
As a hobbyist knife maker I am a bit of a knife snob but recently I've got the Mora bug, last week I purchased a companion HD in carbon , it seriously needed some grinding on the spine but now throws excellent sparks. I'm currently making a leather sheath for it. Keep up the great videos Dave. I may send you one of my knives when I get some time to make a few.
The Mora Bushcraft is/was my first knife for outdoor use and I like it a lot. It's perfect for what I use it for and the handle is super comfortable; however, like you, I noticed that the blade does need a bit more TLC than I originally thought. I'm going to hand it down to my son, as his first knife, but only when I find myself a beautiful new blade without breaking the bank.
I baton with my Mora Companion. I've not had a problem yet. The Bushcraft Black is probably carbon steel because carbon steel is easier to sharpen with the little stone (it will also get blunt faster than stainless would). Some purists also prefer carbon steel. Mora makes great knives at a low price.
Full disclosure: I make handmade knives that sell for anywhere from $150 to several hundred. Having said that, I think everyone should own a simple, inexpensive Mora. They're fantastic for just leaving in the toolbox, glovebox, trunk or tackle box for.... whatever might need cutting some day. But if you're really on a budget - heck yes, start with a Mora as your main everyday knife. Do not overthink all the different models or get your head all wrapped in carbon vs stainless; they all cut and they're all easy to sharpen. Just pick the size and style that looks right to you. You'll be fine, I promise. :)
Excellent review Dave, your perspective is top notch. I own one Mora, it's a Companion Robust. I always take it camping with me and is probably the best bang for the buck utilitarian knife you can own but I still bring my Condor Hudson Bay as well, I wouldn't go into the woods without it.
Got an eldris because it looked neat. Carry it for a while, and you will be amazed at what it can do. It's a great camp knife. The blade shape and grind makes it very capable. Sort of like a stubby kansbol.
Thanks for a great review, Dave. I've owned a few Gerber knives. But after seeing the great features and insanely reasonable price points of Mora blades, I think it's time to get out of my comfort zone and switch it up a bit. Thanks again.
Great review. My favorite Mora is the Classic Craftsman with Finger Guard. Having that little piece of steel between a freshly sharpened carbon blade and my hand gives me the peace of mind I need to confidently work with it.
It's nice to see someone reviewing knives that actually cut things well rather than those that do nothing really well. I'm finding that I would rather have an 111mm Swiss Army Knife like the Outrider in the woods than a fixed blade for shear versatility. I would love to see you do a review of the SAK Outrider or Trekker. I have all three of the knives you reviewed and love all three. I don't care about the thicker blade on the Bushcraft Black but I love the handle, sharp spine, and I like carbon steel myself.
I’ve had many Moras when I first got into Bushcraft, since I’ve gifted them all but they are solid and great knives! Great prices too! That’s a sweet gift knife as well, cheers Dave🍺
I don't get the Eldris, traditionally short blades in Scandinavia where used for whittling, but the Eldris is much to wide for that. You can't turn it in a small radius when whittling. Cheers from Finland!
B got you to shave... much better ya Hippie! I have pretty much every knife Morakniv has made. Been using all of them at one time or another for years. And even with my custom builds and random other blades, I absolutely always go for my Bushcraft Black. Many would argue for the Garburg being the best Mora Bushcraft knife, but I like what I like. Bushcraft Black and me in the woods... all good. I heard you say you were gonna give the Eldris's to the kids... Just because it is small, does not mean it is a "kids" knife by any means. That puppy will cut a finger off as good as any other knife. Just sayin'. Beautiful blade from Brad... Very cool of him to hook you up! Cheers
Hey B, actually the folks who sent us the knives, sent the Eldris knives for the kids. I agree, the Eldris is a great little knife. I need to try the 2000 and the Kansbol.
I love my Mora Companion, best $17 I ever spent! A month ago I bought a Condor Bushlore.....I guess for the heck of it. It's not like I really had a pressing need for another fixed blade knife. I'm going to put it through it's paces here pretty soon and I'll see how it compares.
I have the Companion HD (larger handle, 1/8" thick blade) which has a buttonhole slot on the belt sheath which makes it handy to clip onto buttonhole studs on overalls or barn jackets. I bought a pack of these studs from Walmart and fastened one over my Carharrt tool pocket on the leg.. The sheath slides into the pocket and stud clips onto the sheath. You don't even know its there till you need it. The stud fastens to the material using a hammer or a pair of pliers (my kind of sewing). The knife is very secure there but you could add a loop around the knife handle and sheath while travelling if you concerned about losing it in the rough stuff. A Silky saw in the other leg tool pocket and your good to go.
The sheath on your green companion seems to have the same button hole slot. I’m not sure if the HD Companion is available in stainless steel or colour selection. I’m very happy with my carbon steel blade with olive drab/black handles & sheath as a yard work/construction tool.
Hey Dave I love the video and that is a nice knife that last one there that one that friend of yours sent you I like it but I have no money right now to buy knife maybe one day
Good stuff Dave! I recently bought a Bushcraft Black and have been loving it. Another beautiful thing about Moras is their price point, I had money left over in my budget to get a nice leather sheath and ferro rod. (My bushcraft was the basic version, no ferro rod or sharpener). I got my black for around $30 on Amazon.
I have 2 Moras, the 511 Basic was the first one I bought then the Kansbol which does have a 90 degree spine, the 511 is carbon and the Kansbol is stainless. that blade is pretty beefy. you might l like the Kansbol
I love Mora knives. I have a big collection of them. Almost all. But when it comes to sharpening I really like my knife to have some sort sharpening choil. Apparently, your sharpening method is different so will be happy to see. ps. since you love your bushcraft black but prefer stainless, actual I have it. The name is “Morakniv Bushcraft Survival Desert” and it’s really beautiful. I love it maybe more than my favourite Kansbol.
Hi Dave, great review. I love Morakniv knives and I always carry 2 of them with me outdoors. I have a companion and an eldris. I especially like using the eldris for carving tasks, not that the companion isn't good for that, it's just that I prefer the smaller design because it works so much better on detail work for me. I also have a gerber strongarm, it's my workhorse knife as I call it. It has HC steel and one thing I've noticed when comparing stainless and HC steel is that the HC steel is easier to sharpen and takes less time, so maybe customers requested it and that's why Mora decided to go with a HC steel blade, just a guess. Anyway, great review on Morakniv knives bud, thanks for sharing, and of course, Rock On!
They have a number of carbon models, I have a carbon companion HD, they have different edge retention and sharpening characteristics. You can actually strike a spark off a flint with stainless, it's just a weaker spark. The eldris is a sweet little knife, from what I understand it was made specific for fire making tasks, hence the sharp spine. The end grind is called a sabre grind, when you have a scandi with a microbevel. That last knife is almost too pretty to use!
Mora Companion Knife, They make a great spontaneous gift to your friends, one they will never forget. Ben's Backwoods in Leroy MI sells these mail order for $15.00.
I love my Bushcraft Black..many bush crafter's prefer carbon steel. When they came out with the Garberg, it was stainless, and people hounded them until they also released a carbon steel Garberg. My guess is that is why they offer them..because they are trying to give both crowds what they want. pleasing your customer base is a always good idea. I personally don't mind either or, as long as they have a good sharp edge. I take care of my blades, so carbon steels don't bother me at all. They do tend to be a bit sturdier, so if you are a person who batons, or uses a knife hard, or digging into wood, I guess a carbon steel would be better for you. I don't do much of that, but to each their own. The stainless will hold an edge longer, but the carbon is easier to sharpen, so people who spend more time in the woods and need to do field edge maintenance like them for that reason. As for throwing a spark..I've never HAD to rely on a bow drill or flint and steel, yet I practice both as a just in case. I always have a bic and a ferro rod, so the need has never been there, but it's a good skill to have, and the fact you are teaching a class for bow drill friction fire tells me you agree. I find flint and steel to be easier than a bow drill, mainly for the fact both require a tinder bundle, but I don't have to carve a hearth board and spindle to start a fire with a flint and steel. Hence..the fact a carbon steel can throw a spark off a quartz or flint is a plus. It's just another back up option in case you dump your canoe, or whatever other reason you lose your ferro rod and bic, or your bic falls apart..the flint flies out of it (that has happened to me) or your fluid runs out. I do agree though, that you want char cloth or some horse hoof fungus, something to catch that spark, and without it, a bow drill is the better option for sure, despite the work needed to make it.
Thanks Tim. Good points. Ive never had much luck getting an ember without char-cloth when it comes to flint & steel. For that reason I like friction fire better. Just my opinion. I do see the value in your knife being able to produce a spark, but I think its a long shot that you NEED it to produce a spark AND have char cloth and a good piece of flint or quartz...So as far as knife steel I don't think its a must-have. That said, most of my knives are carbon steel, but when I think of Mora OR Victornox for that matter I think of stainless.
Good review the only mora I have is the bushcraft black I’ve had it a couple years performs real well I like the longer blades might have to throttle something I’ve used it around camp cleaning game building fires I usually don’t baton with my knives either oh yea used it on my trapline also about a year ago I bought a Grohman bird and trout knife I skin a lot with it I ordered it and checked the tracking it said it was in another country lol I thought what in the world 2 days later it was on my door lol after cussing for two days and got the knife I felt dumb USA is another country lol
Mora Makes the carbon steel knives for the American Bush craft market which has always had a preference for carbon steel. But I think besides that, Mora would agree with you that stainless is the way to go. The carbon steel is significantly easier to sharpen than their 12 C 27 stainless, but for most situations the benefits end there. I enjoyed the video.
I needed you here to do this video with. These are the only Mora knives I have used...you are the guy who knows whats up with Moras. I mentioned you in a comment BTW ...someone mentioned the Kansbol and I told them I have a friend who runs with a Kansbol and loves it.
Love Mora knives.....Hate Mora sheaths. Have several Mora knives, all in carbon steel. The Classic series as well as the HD Companion are tough to beat in my opinion for everyday use on a fixed blade. And, the value for price ratio......good luck finding something better. Thanks for sharing brother.
Carbon steel is used because it is easyer to re sharp in the field and will take a good edge really easy and last a decent amount of time, plus it won't rust with minimal care
@@Bushradical just take good care of that knife, you can still polish it and can be as good as new, simple things like not puting it away wet and wiping it after using it will make it be rust free, take care =)
Wow talk about timeing...I was just in bass pro yesterday looking at moral...if been a knife guy for 50 years but never had a mora. They are nice but looking for a new jackknife...but still want a mora...thank for the review
I wonder how that Mora would fare with a Parkerized finish rather than the pretty blued steel it comes with? Parkerizing seems to have gone out of favor but I still swear by it for Knives and Guns when you want to avoid rust issues. 35-40 years ago it was the best steel treatment short of stainless steel. Looking on yuotube, there are good instructional videos on the parkerizing process.
Hi there dave, i liked your reviews on the Mora knives. But just incase you dont know, the eldris knife is mostly used as a neck knife for hanging around your neck, thats why its so small. I may be wrong in saying this but i think the mora eldris is more commonly used in the u.k. and in europe as the knife laws are stricter over here
Hi Dave . Saw this video when it first came out , had no time to comment until now . Great review . The belt clip on the Companion has a hole and a slot . That is so you can slide it over a button . Thanks for sharing . ATB Ken 🇨🇦 .
I have several Mora's including 2 of the Companion HD. I agree that I can't see the advantage of the Bushcraft Black over the Companion, especially the thicker blade HD Companions. I have also put that 90 degree edge on the spine of my Mora's. Timberlee has a ricasso, as a few of mine do. The thing about my ricasso knives and the Timberlee is that a that isn't a stop at the bottom of the handle so your hand can't slide right down to the blade. I have one knife with no handle swell and the blade comes right back to the handle. It's very easy to get your index finger down on the sharp knife edge. When a knife handle doesn't have a built in swell at the handle to blade transition, a ricasso seems to me to be a good safety feature.
Hi Dave, and welcome to Morakniv))) from now on it will be your favorite knife. For the Bushcraft line Mora have stainless, there is the Bushcraft Orange. I have carbon and stainless Moras, carbon is easy to sharp, but I prefer stainless, its Sandvic 12C27, very easy to sharp as well. Chek out the Kansbol, it is less than Eldris, and it is a newer version of my favourite Mora 2000. I have it and use it for over six years and it is holding up very well. I have Garberg as well but it feels very heavy and bulky compared to the others. For food prep and camping and backpacking I always go to my 2000. I think the Kansbol is right in between the Garberg and the 2000, chek it out, you want regret. I have few videos on my Moras and simple mods, chek them out if you want. All the best, cheers.
Bought a mora last year. I got the ss companion. Its my camping kitchen whatever knife. For the money its really hard to beat. I watched a video where this guy beat the hell out of it. Lol. Its very durable. Cant wait to see your "Radical" line of knives. 😀
reason to use,,, carbon is easy sharpening in the field. carbon can be sharpened on almost everything you can find. even a rock that you can hold in your hand … … thanx 4 yr time .
I started using the mora Garberg this summer with a full tang in stainless and 90 spine with a nice leather shealth, check it out. I also own the Companion, fantastic knife for the price. Great review !!!
I have the Bushcraft Black and the MG Companion. The Black is for BUSHCRAFT and the MG is a utility knife. I am surprised that you don't see the difference and advantage of each knife. You are going to teach a bow drill class. What if I said I don't need to learn that. It's stupid. I have a Bic lighter and that's all I need. Now that is a stupid statement! It is a valuable skill to learn and I would never make light of it. Other than that I enjoy your videos...........
It's supply and demand on the steel type, like all things really. There are many folks who only want carbon as they feel it will take and hold a better edge. I like em both but the basic Companion is 2-3 times less than the BB. Personally I don't get the Eldris unless you're a carver. Plus the price. BTW - I've got a dozen or so high priced knives but the ones I enjoy the most are my Mora/Marttiinis and my modified vintage butcher knives.
Thanks Elwha. I can understand why so many people love these things. As for the Eldris.....I can see someone "NOT" liking it.....but I think its a fun little knife and I enjoy it. It is too expensive for what it is IMO
I noticed your modded butcher knife. That was a real nice one. You used to have it in your intro. I have a boatload of Moras and they are the standard to which I measure all knives. Your inputs on the Companion were right on, especially the cutting edge all the way to the handle. What a great knife!
The biggest complaint that I have seen most people have on stainless knives is that they are "hard to sharpen" I have a buck 110 that I have kept honed for the last 10 years and I have never had to put it to the wet stone. It is still the sharpest knife I own and it does everything from cutting sapplings to splitting breast bones and rib bones. It's all about the user. Still love carbon knives, but if I have a choice in the field it's a stainless knife. I know alternate between the buck 110 and the more companion in stainless.
I generally hate stainless. But its because there are so many awful stainless knives. I also Have a buck 110 thats a wonderfull knife. Buck does great stainless knives. So does Mora. I wish everyone who makes stainless knives did such a good job and used such good steel.
Indeed I have a drawer full of junk stainless gerbers and schrades... One of the better cheap folders and is roughrider they are good and tight and can usually be had from 10 to 20 bucks they have a great edge as well.... If they can do it for cheap so can everyone else
I have a few stainless chef knives that I CANT sharpen. They are total garbage. Some stainless is great other stainless has no value at all. Its insulting to buy a knife that looks nice but is made from garbage. Brooke has a knife ( Remington I think) that will not take an edge. Its just stupid.
I have a Companion and an Eldris. I enjoy using them both. My only complaint about the eldris is it's a terrible neck knife and I'm too lazy to make a sheath for it. Thanks for the review Those Timberlee knives are sweet!
Thanks Norman. Honestly I have never carried the Eldris......just used it around the cabin. I see what you mean...you need to wear it around your neck or mod it.
They make the Mora Bushcraft Orange. Same design and package as the Bushcraft Black, except that it has a stainless steel blade. And it's orange. It's radical, eh.
Ok... I love your point about the Stainless vs. Carbon Steel... but it appears that a lot of focus has been on how impressive Carbon Steel is... and I know that salt water will even destroy a stainless leatherman such as on Alone... With this review... I am curious what you carry/recommend for folding knives. (I am going to look and see what you have for videos on this but thought I'd ask)
I carry old pocket knives. I have a couple Camillus, a Bocker, and an old Ariel. Those are about all the pocket knives I own. All old, all carbon steel.
I like your review but I would’ve liked to see you use them a bit, not a big deal. Everyone likes something different and with respect to the edge having no sharpening choil I like either way. Most guys prefer a choil because its hard to sharpen it all the way up to the handle, that’s why they put in a notch or choil. You’ll notice a small one on the timberlee knife. I love the hammered look as well.
The Timberlee is quite an awesome knife. As for the sharpening choil.....I can see that it would very hard to get the blade sharp right next to the handle.......but I love it while it lasts!!
I love my companion, it doesn’t bother me about the edge right up to the handle I can sharpen it well enough. It’s one of those things where I can take it or leave it.
Don't know what's going on with your carbon steel Mora. I've got one thats as old as me. No rust on it. It was my grandfathers. An the one I use all the time has never rusted either. Love the video.
@@Bushradical couldn't of been to wet. You ain't seen wet til you've seen the way I treat my knives. I used to get my butt chewed all the time by my dad an granddad. I grew up on a farm an we butchered our own meat besides hunting fishing an trapping. So they got a work out. Sure do miss those days.
Nothing wrong with carbon steel I've had them all my life just wipe it down when you get done with it. They've always make carbon knives and they make a stainless Bushcraft.
I prefer carbon over stainless I own the bushcraft black and the robust both are in carbon I hate stainless steel for a fix blade, I'm not lazy so I can manage carbon steel, its tough, holds a edge longer than stainless and is easy to sharpen. Mora is famous for its carbon not stainless. Stainless Steel does rust.
Watch your back the bushcrafters will be after you, lol. Great review. Finally saw the Eldrist but like you it looked cute but possessing a salmon would leave me wanting. But the companion is great. Though honestly the Timberly knives are price. My idea is if you can't loose a knife in the river and not walk away. THANKS.
i use my little MORA BLUE KNIFE AS A BOX OPENER.....WORKS GREAT,,,,,bet it would be great for bone work....I ALSO USE THE moras on the boats at th lake,,,,,THEY FLOAT WELL........LOL,>}}}}>
Not sure if it will work with that one but my old carbon blade Schrade gets some surface rust sometimes and I wipe it off with scotch brite with some oil on it Might rub the coating off that mora knife but would probably take that surface rust off for you so give that a try and leave a light coat of oil on it
Well finally got the video up and it is short but has a few good tips one of them on stopping wind noise in a video the other using scotch brite and oil to polish rust off a carbon steel knife blade ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dtt_JqKNanA.html I wanted to give you and brooke a shout out but messed up one video then forgot in the second video so just added it to the description telling people to take a look at y'alls channel if they want some real good info on just about anything bushcraft Thought about leaving a link also but I only have like 45 subscribers so not going to get much traffic from my site anyway yet I thought I would mention y'all anyway as you two make great videos
