Mora Knife

[SARSpecialist]

Just looking for opinions on the Mora Knife, they look like a good knife and have a good price. Anyone have any opinion on the best model for Moderate bush craft use, also looking at the Mora Fire Knife as a backup to my ferro rods.

I have a couple of the robust models but haven't used them yet. Otherwise the clipper in carbon steel is my favorite.

OH!

A Mora thread!

OK I'll go too,

I love my Mora!

Now will the next 1,000 people please remain in line and take your turn.

They work just fine. Nice bang for the buck.

If you had to ask then you obviously have NOT been studying the forum...or just just pulling our leg. There is so much "Pro-Mora" posts on here it'll make your head spin. I have two, the best being the Mora 2000. One of our members who is an Alaskan guide quartered a moose with one! Cody Lundin carries a Mora as does Mors Korchanski. Creek Stewart hands them out to his students prior to their taking his course. A very large percentage of this forum have them and love them! Next question?...

Which mora is best? The one you can get your hands on soonest!

Now they are all good but there are some that I like to use more than others!

I like the Classic laminated 4" w/wooden handles best, closely followed by the old 510 that is no longer made.

All others just fall into the generic Mora is OK category.

Back in the pre-2012 period I did purchase a case of Clippers when SMKW put them on sale for $5.99 w/free shipping. I have been giving them out as spare knives and loaners while reserving enough to equip a gaggle of geese if necessary.

I like the Mora 2000 as well, rides in my hunting vest.
I like the ones with the fire steel in the handle...Don't recall the number at the moment..........kinda gimmicky, but low buck, they ride in all the vehicles.
I really like my old Mora's...... mine from about 1963,....and MF's I think 1950's late....and FIL's for a bit earlier....Maybe?

Mora 2000 and the Companion heavy-duty MG.
Both good knives.

Great thing about them they perform well, and if you do misplace one not alot of $ down the drain. I use one in the kitchen everyday as well. I prefer the carbon steel over the stainless.

FYI Mora has 're-introduced the 510 in black...MORAKNIV knives are like potato chips, hard to eat only one. I own three myself...

So, quick question...if a person were looking at picking up a Mora, and preferred wooden handles, and had big hands and wanted a knife to fit, what would be a good model? My current go-to belt knife is a DH Russell Original, which is a great knife, I've got no complaints, but it has sentimental value, so a good knife with less emotional currency might be a good investment.

So I'll be honest and say I dont personally own a Mora knife, but I've only ever heard good things. Been kicking around the idea of picking one up myself.

The wooden handled Mora's are not necessarily for larger hands. They may be comfortable to you, but comfort is very subjective. You can always re-handle one with a larger handle. Here's one I modified a while back.

That is a nice bit of work, there!

[Lamewolf]

Moras are cheap, have plastic sheaths, look like toys, cost pennies compared to others etc etc. I love them and own 6 or 7 my favorite being the Bushcraft.

1 Clipper carbon steel
2 Clippers in stainless steel
1 #2 CLassic
1 Bushcraft
1 High Q Robust
1 2000

Don't buy them, they are addictive !

[pete lynch]

Forgot to mention the pair of 780s I bought years ago. They are parts of various kits and not what I would use for EDC, but they would be fine for that.

Hi, I own a few and I am from Malaysia. I do not think anyone should be able to recommend a knife that would suit you as different people prefer different weight, different ways of handling the knife, different strokes or angle when cutting or slicing. The best would be is to go to a store, handle a few of them and make your choice. Try it out first and get the feel of the hang of it.
Like me and a few of my buddies, we like different MORAs and and one of them preferred the cheap Tramontina..which is also my 2nd preference.

Showing my ignorance but anyone have practical experience with kukri knives. Wonder how they perform as utility, light chopping tools compared to a combat or smaller Bowie knife. I am sure they have various sizes. Any recommendation on size for camping/hiking. Not looking for a zombie killer.
