Good review. I understand using the stainless version for sure. Where I live it is bloody hell dry, so I use the carbon Garberg. I will be getting the stainless for fishing trips and such. Cheers from Idaho.
Nice review. It's nice to get reviews from people who have actually used the knife. I also liked the knife with the mods, especially the mirror polished edge.
Really was impressed with this review and I subscribed on the strength of this one episode. Well thought out guys and presented . All the best from across the pond (south Jersey exit zero). Look forward to seeing more of your stuff . Thanks
👍 Liked your video and agree with your assessment of the Garberg and Eldris. I also have both. I am curious about your modification to the blade spine, how did you remove the “hump”?
"We don't know Mora or who he is..." - hilarious! - maybe unintentional, but still hilarious..... You can't go wrong with a Mora, unless you are an idiot - but then again, an idiot can go wrong with anything...
You guys I’ve subscribed. Nice to see some fellow English brothers talking about knives. I’m from Norwich Norfolk but living in Scotland. And I have the Mora Garberg Carbon and the companion and an absolutely tiny little mora blade that for wood carving. I’m also waiting for the Kansbol to arrive (I ordered two, one for me and one for my dad) take care and gonna check out your videos.
Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada & I got 1 of them myself & I DID put mine through the dishwasher & it NEVER got hurt in the least !! My only issue is, I wish the blade was a bit longer at LEAST a 5 inch blade or a little more. Besides that, if it's a Mora, it's got a place on my hip !! 👌🤙👍💯
If it helps I love my stainless steel version, I have both but to be honest I've enjoyed my stainless steel Garberg that much I haven't used my carbon steel properly yet. The weather in the UK has been really wet this year so the stainless steel version is perfect, I gave it a good strop when I got it and it's held it's edge fantastic, very easy to sharpen too.
I just got mine yesterday and I have the basic polymer sheath. The knife wants to slip out so easily. The retention doesnt give feel great. A light shake upside down and it comes right out. I really like the knife it feels great in hand and I like the way it looks and of course its very functional tho I haven't used it yet. But should be very similar to the bushcraft black that I have. I like the bushcraft black maybe a little better. It's quite a bit lighter and much cheaper but reverse grip with the knife sucks. I also have the condor terrasaur which is right between garberg and bushcraft in the weight category. The sheath is slim and light, knife feels great and does exactly what you need it to do. The sheath holds the knife very securely. If I had to pick I'd go with terrasure. Lights just light and the sheath is better. I just wish it came with a shaper spine. It may not be super pretty or super traditional with all the plastic but it's a great bushcraft knife.
I have the same 'issue' with the Garberg sheath. If you boil some water and put the sheath in for a few seconds, then pinching it a bit (use pliers), it will improve the retention!
Use a "ranger band"-- cut a piece of bicycle inner tube about 1-1.5 inches long, slip over the opening of the sheath. Leave it protruding above the rim of the opening just a bit, so that it provides some grip and friction at the opening. You could also possibly fold it over to where it hugs the inner part of the sheath opening, if it will fit. I did this with my Mora Classic and it's been very secure, although I have had to eventually replace the inner tube piece as the blade nicked it a bit over time and eventually cut it.
Been considering one of these for a few years. My friend has both the stainless and the carbon versions. I ended up going with the Terava Jaakaripuukko 110, but still would like to get a Garberg eventually. Mora can't be beat with their treatment of their steels, as far as I'm concerned. I have a Classic and the Eldris (which is actually a miniature version of the Kansbol, rather than the Garberg) and they're both razors, and have stayed that way through heavy use with just a little stropping.
I have both the Garberg and the Jääkaripüükko 140 and I wanted the longer blade is why I got the 140 but I truly would put those knives against any knife made both are awesome tools and I recently bought the BPS Adventurer another awesome knife you should check them out and by far the sharpest knife I have ever gotten straight out of the box
Mora's treatment is pretty standard. They are good for the price but their steel isn't legendary or even special. Often times underhardened on the edge, even.
With regards to the thoughts on custom knives @9:36 and forwards: The same reasoning is why I've made less and less knives out of wood, tool steels with leather sheaths and instead use stainless steels, g10/micarta, and kydex sheaths. You can spend your time having fun in the woods and not spend time caring for tools.
Thanks for the review. I was out in the rain with a carbon steel / leather condor knife (great knife) but spent half the time worrying about it... Post review I purchased a stainless garberg - Keep that knife anxiety at bay.
awesome leather mod of sheath, also that wicked mirror edge, dude so far best rev i found on the field with real tasks, not that until destroys knife, cheers!
Nice review of well used tools. Enjoyed the presentation enough to go ahead and subscribe to your channel. Now I got to get busy with watching your previous presentations. Glad to be on bord . Greetings from the North East Georgia Mountains USA .
belles explications ,je vie en france et en montagne ou il pleut ,il fait des chaleurs extrême et on a aussi des froids avec de la neige a moins 20 degrés donc ce mora est excellent ,pas de rouille pour la taille c'est très bien il suffit de faire des coins en bois et vous pouvez fendre des grosses buches
The micro-beveled edge ruins it for me. I think the HD Companion is a better woodworking tool, and much less expensive. I really can't justify the price of the Garberg just for the full tang, as I've never had issues with my other Mora's. I don't need a 90° spine as I almost always use a Bic lighter and have other scrapers for ferrocerium, and I never baton as I always have a saw or axe. I can carve a wedge if necessary. I prefer the Mora2000 and use it the most.
Mora is the small town where they've made knives like these for the last 130 years. :) They got a lot of instructional vids in english on their channel on usage.
Horses for courses. Carbon steel is fine if you are working in the dry/low humidity and it’s definitely easier to sharpen but if it’s constantly going to be wet then stainless is better, depending on the quality of the steel.
@@stalwart263 Yeah, well, a nice patina does wonders. A bit of rust doesn't really matter to me. Just take care of your blade. Then it will take care of you. Everybody has their own preferences
@@arrisdebruin I really get on with Bark River’s A2. It’s somewhere in the middle! But you are right. Take care of your gear. You might need it to take care of you.
Nice review. I usually choose my Garberg when going out, even though I have more expensive knives in my collection. It really is a great knife. The blade is actually 4.29 inches, not 4.5.
After a couple years of use I've strayed away from the Garberg. I think the relief edge is just a bit to small for my taste. One area that it really effects is the belly to tip for fine carving its very thick. I found that the relief edge is actually not flat but convexed on the belly portion. I've owned two and both were like this as though the belt was to lose during grinding the blades. I like the Bushcraft Black a bit more, the Garberg is over built but its definitely indestructible that's for sure. I agree their 14C28N is excellent knife steel very easy to sharpen and reprofile. I've turned my Gadberg in a convex blade. ..But it's one I just don't use much anymore. I do love the handle and the material it's very warm in cold weather and tough as nails.
Hello good, a question. When sharpening the Garberg you do it according to the scandi angle or you do it by the microbevel that comes from the factory. Thank you!!
Good review. I understand using the stainless version for sure. Where I live it is bloody hell dry, so I use the carbon Garberg. I will be getting the stainless for fishing trips and such. Cheers from Idaho.
I love Idaho❤️
I love Idaho too! Great people, beautiful countryside. 🇬🇧😁👍🇺🇸

I wish there was a full tang Mora with the Kansbol grind.
People stop the 'Mora is a city ' stuff, he knows - it's subtle humor ffs
👍 Liked your video and agree with your assessment of the Garberg and Eldris. I also have both. I am curious about your modification to the blade spine, how did you remove the “hump”?
Oh my gosh, that rig is cool; now that I've seen it: definitely feel like I've got to have it. That's really nice.
"We don't know Mora or who he is..." - hilarious! - maybe unintentional, but still hilarious.....
You can't go wrong with a Mora, unless you are an idiot - but then again, an idiot can go wrong with anything...
That dog is awesome! It just stays in the background behaving! Love when people have their animals in the videos
Same blade mod I done with mine straight away. No need to have that bump and it looks better too!
Also rounded the spine where my thumb goes. Use to cut my thumb.
I done the same to my blade. I like what you done with the sheath also. Cheers, Newfoundland!
what pants are those you are using? seriously they look awesome
Very good review! Thank you =)
2:50 “The first knife Mora made that has a full tang”.
Nonsense. Tell that to all the owners of the Morakniv Lapplander series
Never heard of these, I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the tip!
Bombastic... jiz
Cheers for your thoughts. Have the stainless as well. Like the mods you have done. It's definitely a beater knife 🔪 More content coming?
yes we will have more content on its way
Great review lads. Anything by Mora has got to be good.

Would they be military tattoos?
I'd like to see a little more clearly how you modded your case with the leather. What is the clip you used

Nice review. Got a good deal (
There are two versions, the Eldris - thicker steel & compound grind and the Eldris light duty - as shown in the video. Hope this helps.
@@Fourcupsofcoffee Thanks. I think I only learned about the “light duty” version a couple of months back…
Hy freind what is the best mora and solud garberg stainless steel or carbon for cooking in forest and bushcraft and camping
If it helps I love my stainless steel version, I have both but to be honest I've enjoyed my stainless steel Garberg that much I haven't used my carbon steel properly yet.

Just use heat. Hot water.
Get a kydex sheath ffs
Thanks for a great review and knowledge passed on, any videos on axes at some point?

Chears guys ! The garberg has the same shape as the 510.
It's a good everyday knife, Got to love them !
Mora is a city
Morakniv Garberg 🥰👍😉
Hello, is there any possibility to wear the morakniv garberg multi mount "across" / horizontal on / with an usual belt? Thank you!
Super good review! Very useful! Thank you!
Cheers from Canada! 👍

Personally i agree, i think its important to carry a sloyd as well as a utility style like the garberg. Good review bud
awesome leather mod of sheath, also that wicked mirror edge, dude so far best rev i found on the field with real tasks, not that until destroys knife, cheers!
carbon or stainless im trying to decide which to buy which one u like best and why
good knive that. I have a mora heavy duty companion stainless. Mora are awesome
I really like the leather you put on you sheath, I think I might barrow that idea if you don’t mind.
Nice review of well used tools. Enjoyed the presentation enough to go ahead and subscribe to your channel. Now I got to get busy with watching your previous presentations.
Glad to be on bord .
Greetings from the North East Georgia Mountains USA .
Nice review, but this is not first full tang mora. Mora laplander was on the marker few years ago before garberg landed
Glad I found your channel keep it up you’ll be growing soon
Awesome info video 👍 Subscribed 🌲💚🌲
How did grind down the blade , have had same idea for a while 😀
Drop point good for hunting
Someone who should use an axe. Who started this "battoning" using knives.
It is easier and safer to process smaller wood for fires if you use a knife to split wood. Thats why.
belles explications ,je vie en france et en montagne ou il pleut ,il fait des chaleurs extrême et on a aussi des froids avec de la neige a moins 20 degrés donc ce mora est excellent ,pas de rouille pour la taille c'est très bien il suffit de faire des coins en bois et vous pouvez fendre des grosses buches
Nice video, guys!
Heard you guys got married. Congrats, i hope your happy together. Nice video
What me and Tim? Haha
how do you get the mirror finish on the blade ???
Whetstones, and stropping.
I like it.
Good job.

I prefer carbon. It's a bit harder on the Rockwell scale

No it isnt. They are both treated to 57hrc. Additionally the stainless has better edge retention and is significantly tougher.

I agree their 14C28N is excellent knife steel very easy to sharpen and reprofile. I've turned my Gadberg in a convex blade. ..But it's one I just don't use much anymore.
I do love the handle and the material it's very warm in cold weather and tough as nails.
Yeah, swiss cheesed full tang, more than half of the tang is cut away, its so not a real full tang knife.
Great video.
Hello good, a question. When sharpening the Garberg you do it according to the scandi angle or you do it by the microbevel that comes from the factory. Thank you!!
I would follow the scandi edge personally
