*NEW* MoraKniv ELDRIS: Best EDC!!! 

You are welcome! I like how it looks as well and its a real outdoors blade, but I hope they work on those price$$$$...Way to much for a small blade!

Have to agree about the price. At the online shop I go to for Mora knives, the ELDRIS is literally double the price of an older also S.S. Mora Companion. I'm sorry, but no. There are other less expensive S.S. neck knives out there. Some can be fitted with decent traction control grips. And I just can't see paying double for a much smaller and less capable Mora over the company's own Companion model.

CedricAda Gear and Outdoors Let me just stop you right there. This is not a good whittling knife for many reasons: its too wide, not the best steel, bad handle for various grips, 90 degree spine will kill your thumb. Actually, if you ask me, its just ridiculous hipster jewlery but the name roughly translates to "kindling" so if this knife has a main purpuse it would be to assist in starting a fire. Something any knife can do. Now for a "bush whittling knife" you should be looking at the Mora 106 or 120, you will never call the Eldris a whittling knife again after that, trust me. Those knives are used by professionals for good reason.

Those knives are used by professional carvers for good reason. I always carry a 106 around my neck for crafting and general purpose and they are absolutely brilliant for any number of tasks but its when carving it really shines. Moras laminated steel is amazing.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy one..If you ever get your hands on one because there flying off the shelves!!!! Fix blade is the best.

Gearaholic you see them in stores? There are only two stores within 60 miles of my house that I know of that sells Moras. One charges almost double what Amazon does, and the other only has the Companion, Companion HD and Bushcraft Black. I'd have to order online to get one. My wife said no last week so I'll probably get one next paycheck. My current neck knife is an Izula. Which would you prefer?

I can't say witch i prefer because both have there merits. Izula has more blade but requires more maintenance.. Eldris has a Great handle but smaller blade..I personally Like the Mora but Its still new to me and hasn't relieved enough Pros/Cons to give a honest answer! I think when you want something ...you already know you are going to buy it!

Gearaholic I recently discovered Moras and I'm kind of addicted to them. They aren't all that pretty but they're super comfortable and really sharp. I install Internet for a living and the non tactical look of Moras aren't threatening to most people. I'll definitely end up with this one. Probably next paycheck. Do you think the kit is worth it?

Honestly, I think the kit is a rip-off. $20 extra dollars for some string, a peace of leather, and a fire steel don't add up in my book. I think the kit is a bit gimmicky, but if some one wants those accessories its a good deal for them. I would rather carry a Bic lighter and the Eldris as a much more effective EDC.

sorry about the music!

I watched this at 2am, so I thought the music was kinda cool... Insomniac music.

I agree on the leather strap, I'm doing a video pretty soon to show how I make mine!

Gearaholic awesome....looking forward to seeing your DIY safety leather strap. cheers

It makes the full Mora set complete!

Yep...picked one up...have another on the way and love this knife. :)

It is dope!!!

Gearaholic Glad I'm not alone.

Lol, Glad that I can creep you out I guess!

I appreciate your thoughts, you got a good point...its not for everyone! It all depends on your style.

Matte Edström ahh that sucks WTF Sweden .

"Det finns undantag från förbudet - Militär som bär kniv till uniform - Hantverkare som använder kniv i arbetet - Svampplockare som under vandring bär ändamålsenlig kniv - NORMALT BRUK AV FICKKNIV ELLER MULTIVERKTYG" "There are exceptions from the ban - Military personnel who carries a knife along with their uniform - Carpenters who uses a knife at work - Mushroom pickers who carries a suitable knife while hiking - COMMON USE OF POCKET KNIVES AND MULTI TOOLS" I consider the Mora Eldris to be a pocket knife. I consider my Gerber Gator to be a pocket knife. When I'm out in the forest, my Benchmade Bushcrafter is a fucking pocket knife. The cops are not going to arrest me or take the knife away from me, since I'm not breaking any laws and always got a suitable knife for whatever I'm doing.

BewbsAreAzum En hantverkare får inte bära kniven på stan, där gäller lagen om 3,5cm knivblad. Känner nämligen en målare som åkt dit, i arbetskläder, för sin morakniv.

Matte Edström Finns ingen längdgräns längre vad jag vet. Har du andra uppgifter får du jättegärna länka mig en uppdaterad källa. Fram tills dess kommer jag att följa dessa hänvisningar; polisen.se/Lagar-och-regler/Vapen/Knivar-med-mera/

BewbsAreAzum Hantverkare som använder kniv i arbetet, får inte gå ut på stan med de, så enkelt är det! Du har rätt om att de tagit bort bladlängden. Tycker hela lagen är förvånansvärt dum! Jag kan göra mer skada med en skruvmejsel på 20cm än med en kniv på 5cm, om jag nu skulle vilja. Ok en skruvmejsel kan räknas som ett stickvapen, men inte innan jag stuckit någon.

Does the place you live not allow weapons to be transported through mail?

Not sure but my cousin just got a knife sent through the mail no worries.

Hmm, that really sucks. I would try calling Amazon and ask him what the deal is on the delivery process. I would be like "I want my knife in the mail or I'm going to start call supervisors".. Drop the mic and walk away from the explosions in slow Mo! LOL

Gearaholic nah, dropping the mic used to be cool until obama did it, now it's embarrassing.

LOL, thats great! Well played!

scratch that, i cant find your message button lol do ye have a facebook account? i have a proposition for ye.

Interesting theory!

First off thank you for taking my recommendation! Yes, it is common to see brown/yellow burn markings on the knife when using a fire-steel and it should wipe off when you clean your knife. No, it should not effect the knife steel because the stainless steel Morakniv uses has an excellent corrosion resistance and edge retention... Its the same steel used in razor-blades! You might dull the 90 degree spine if you use it a lot, my recommendation would be to use the steel scraper that comes with the fire-steel. I "wood" recommend using Fat wood shavings (Pine tree wood saturated with pine sap), the shavings will take a spark and its water proof. When I start fires using Fire-steels I build the fire log cabin style with a solid wood base, I also make sure not to use Green or wet wood. I collect dry grass or anything that looks like it will take a spark and add it to the base of the fire to aid in combustion. I hope this helps you out and if you have more Q's... Keep'em coming! Cheers! G.

Use the blade angle of the scandi grind as the guide during sharpening. I use 600 then 800 grit sand paper on a flat surface or leather scrap , 30 passes on either side. Try stropping the blade edge on a piece of leather (light pressure) 25 passes on both sides, check the edge, 25 passes again on both sides. Last, paper cut test to check for hangups. Check out my video on sharpening techniques. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y7imoLeQ2sk.html

Lo, more like pushed with force!

Thank you for the support!

I think Mora has the intention on making a CS Eldris, they will probably release it in the future. Although I personally like the SS version of the knife (low maintenance, less rust, throws sparks) but I haven't noticed edge issues...I think only time will tell! cheers!

I under stand, they have a specific role to play but cant fill them all.

You can use it for self defense but its pretty small. Remember that using any weapon in self defense can be bloody, will require a full investigation & Cort hearing, psych evaluation, and possible jail time if necessary. I would recommend hand-to-hand self defense classes or martial arts for inner city protection, plus its easy to justify in Cort as instinctual preservation of life. They also teach De-esclation of force classes for defusing or avoiding conflict. Carry a loud whistle and a blunt striking object like a Kubaton or fat sharpie. Never punch with your fist but with an open palm, elbows, and knee strikes! Face/head, neck, armpits, groin, knee caps, and shins are great places to strike/kick. Remember the object of self defense is to create time and space to escape to safety...don't hang around and Jackie Chan bad guys!

this would be a perfect edc knife for cutting box's or prying something open and for its price it decently has a market

I've actually been using it quite a bit, I think it's a relatively simple design and it's easy to carry!

Its awesome!!

Sorry to hear about your knife. Its good that you are noticing problems, we have to keep the manufactures accountable! I personally haven't had problems yet, but I will update my video if anything changes.

Right on good sir, I concur.

I got one of the red ones for Christmas. It is a fun little knife but I don't know that it really fills a niche. It is most useful as a neck knife. The Sandvik stainless does not seem to hold an edge for very long. I don't think it does anything the Mora Classic #1 can't do, once you sharpen the spine.

¡Hola desde América! Yo uso la luz mi modelo de fuego Scout, espero que esto le ayuda en su viaje al aire libre mi amigo! Avísame si tienes más preguntas.

Lol..glad to know you're not buying one. I don't buy underwear, they're not functional.

Thanks!

I can see your point, I think of it more like a addition to a larger full-tang blade... an around the camp small blade for those chores the big blades are not suitable for (fine carving, quick cuts, game processing, chopping veggies etc.) or an extra blade just encase.. Sure it has limitations and its not for everyone, but I think if you can get your hands on one you might just join the dark side!

ConstantinDV

Because I can!

Thanks, I just keep it simple!

If were talking quality and quantity of knife I think the Swedish can probably be at the Chinese any day of the week. And yes I agree ...the prices... they suck!

The Chinese have tried to out do Mora for the last 25 years and have failed. Too many of can't stand the thought of having "Made in China" stamped on their blade.

Mora has shifted production to China ;-)

@@clusterguard lol fuck off liar, i saw how and where the manufacturing happens

Keith Harten I think it's pretty secure, but over time as you wear in the knife it might loosen it in the sheath. Only time will tell!

...........143 mm :)

That is CRAZY! I just don't think they should cost so much, I almost didn't buy mine.. but my knife obsession made me momentarily weak!

+Gearaholic Yeah how do they explain this cost??? I bought a Mora Pro Robust for $11 so I'm guessing they charge another $15 for the 90° edge and dual edge tip......LOL They are cool but spendy little buggers. With Coldsteel entering the cheap bushcraft knife market with their new finn Hawk, it's gonna bring more competition and hopefully better prices for us.

I have had mine for a year now. Its the best edc because I keep it on my neck. And I use it all the time.
