I will probably regret asking,,,,,,,,,,, but,,,,,,,,,,, What exactly do you dislike about Mora knives ??

The fact that they are from Sweden.

Really, it's an evil alien thing. He was put on this planet to be a thorn in my side. Nothing more.

The fact that they are from Sweden.

Gosh Dang Sweds

No, no, no. Swedes = Good. Norwegians=Jury is still out.

These are the words of a world famous Alaska back country guide.

After hearing a lot of positive comments about the Mora 2000 knife, I decided to put one through some test to see how it held up.

Upon receiving the knife and examining it, the first thing you notice is it’s light weight and unique blade geometry. Then the comfortable rubber type handle. Doing some reading I found that the blade is composed of Scandinavian Sandvik stainless steel. This steel holds and edge well and is fairly easy to re-sharpen in the field.

I used the knife for the following tasks over a several month period:

Whittling fire tender
Making sparks with a ferro-rod
Skinning game to include splitting the brisket of a deer
Slicing vegetables and meat for meals
Chipping ice for water
Whittling triggers for traps
Cutting fabric and leather
Cutting cardboard
Cutting rope, twine, string etc,
Stripping electrical wiring
Cleaning my fingernails
A multitude of other tasks suitable to a light utility knife

The Mora 2000 preformed on the level of much pricier knives. The Mora 2000 is a reliable knife and is now part of my guiding gear.

I recommend the Mora 2000 as a good light to medium duty utility knife.

Kevin, I liked your review, ordered one from Rick and the 2000 is currently in/on my fanny pack.
Worked well so far.
Replaced a retired 1968 Mora, not sure of the number.

It is a descent knife.

Bleh. For what he originally wanted to do I would have said a SOG Jungle Primitive.
