    Anything over $100 is simply ludicrous. Period. Their own knives beat these! And any spine can be sharpened, so that $10-30 mora will be as good with fire making with a longer blade (companion HD stainless).
    Know what reduces the carbon footprint?? Not buying more knives...I've done my part and not bought these 🤣.

    I bought some months ago a Fällkniven F1 in VG Wolf steel. A knife that is a better slicer with extreme sharpness due to the wolfram. I cost me almost exactly like the new Mora does. To pay the same money for this new Mora doesn't tempt me at all. In this case I think Moras has got hybris.

    I can see a certain group of Mora knife collectors buying these, but most people are going to buy something else at these prices. It would be interesting how they would compare with the BPS knives BS3FTS Mora type design. More similar than different. Yeah, 1066 versus 12C27N. Comparison to a Mora Companion Spark would be interesting as well.

  • @stephenlewis9423

    Not saying this is what Mora is thinking but..., successive and younger generations are coming into the bushcrafting/outdoor world who are earning substantially more income than earlier generations, thanks to the internet, whose decision making sign posts are things like "saving the planet." They respond to selling points like "recycle..." and "smaller footprint..." as much as, if not more than, traditional selling points like steel performance and design functionality etc...and would throw their money at a company that can offer a widget that align with their "planet saving" virtues vs. a company that just provides a less expensive comparable or even better product that don't "appear" to be making the same efforts. No opinion on the philosphy but Mora already has a good reputation in general to use as a spring board to market to this growing consumer base. It happened with the organic food market. Just tossing the ball around with this thought.

    At the MOST, I’d see these knives being worth splurging $120 on. At the ABSOLUTE MOST. Mostly because I understand what they’re trying to do with the sustainability of their manufacturing processes. I just don’t personally see that justifying a $200 price tag on a knife made with the exact same steel and heat treatment as your products that are in the $10 to $27 price range. Makes absolutely no sense.

    My opinion is that there's nothing these blades can do that most other Moras I already own can't do just as well. I haven't used one, and can't comment on how they function, but I feel confident saying that the materials are "budget" materials, with a semi-custom price. 5/10 is kind, in my opinion, and I know I won't be buying these blades.

Unfortunately Mora, has turned into a company with their marketing targeting how to make more money easily, rather than how to make more money, by providing a good quality and perfectly designed product, as they used to do in the past. That's greediness and it's the only thing I hate in my life.

      @Greek Veteran Yeah agreed Allthough i actually dislike the mora 200/kansbol blade shape more than the garberg, they break so damn easily, as for the garberg or big survival knives or full external tang knifes its just not their style, like kbar dont make a traditonal pukkos (to my knowledge) they stick to what they're good at and mora should do the same, which is manufacturing the most cost efficient while still usable pukko style blades.
      Allthough admittedly these days i tend to buy blade blanks from laurin metali (the guys who make the blades for the terava jaukariupukko (cant remember how its spelt) the heat treatment and steel quality seems to hold up slightly better from my experience than mora.
      I eat through carbon mora no. 2 blades within about 2-3 years if im using and resharpening them often, i have the same mora no 2 handle i started with years ago but on the 3rd blade now. Old blades are still usable and in new handles for gifts to friends but they dont hold a good edge as its been sharpened down to the core.

      funny thing is when you really use them, they last decades so it ends up costin' something like a couple euros per month including spare parts along the way. even a few eurocents if they get the same longevity as my grandfather's ones from the early fifties. still working, parts still available and third generation using them hoping to pass them to the fourth in due time. 😏👌
      those Moras though, bit expensive but when looking long term, who cares. plus we'll be soon having so much inflation that we'll laugh at those prices when paying 500000000000€ for a stale loaf of sawdust bread and double that the next day... 😂

      It was the exact same panic when the Bushcraft series launched ten years ago “omg 45€ for a Mora I can buy a 511 for 7€”
      The again when the Garberg was launched “omg 100€ for a Mora…”
      I mean it was the exact same reactions down to the letter. And it also explains why it’s important for healthy companies to not put themselves in a corner with low pricing. You need money makers with a high profit margin which also build the brand.
      I’d get if people were upset if Mora cancelled the Companion but that isn’t the case. So frankly I don’t get this at all. But then I wasn’t upset when they released the Bushcraft or Garberg either. At least these look like good knives unlike Bushcraft (awful handle) and Garberg (heavy and cuts like sh*t)

It might be a 10/10 knife but people in the knife community won't buy these. The ONLY market I can see for these would be weekend warrior environmental hipsters who have absolutely no knowledge of knife steels and are purely sold on the thought that they are helping the environment. If Mora was smart they would just use reclaimed wood or recycled wood fiber for the handles instead of plastic. That's a win/win.

I like them for another reason - they are simple, yet they can perform a lot of tasks perfectly.

      Mora is the only made in Sweden knifemaker left. I’m quite happy they’re trying to move into premium because it might mean they’re able to stay in business. No one survives in the low end unless they move production to China (like Spyderco, Buck and most other makes have done).
      I think we should all be happy we can actually buy a made in Sweden Kansbol, Companion or 511.
      Mora has always made premium knives in the past, like the Laplander for example. Even though most people aren’t aware.

    They look like good knives; but you can get three or four Mora's or one fallkniven for the same price. Still awsome video!
    Yesterday, I had some bushcrafter ask me if I could sharpen his bushcrafting knife; and also "do the spine like you would hockey ice-skates". I had to think twice about that one; but he had a point; and last time he went ice-skating; he had his ice-skates sharpened; and also the spine of his knife; and it performed wonderfull for firesteel scraping. So I hollow-ground the spine of his knife; and it scraped firesteel like crazy; you should really try that. In the Netherlands you can find plenty of places to sharpen ice-skates.

    I know mora probably has a lot of overhead and they’re doing things in a very environmentally friendly way but there are comparable options that are a fraction of the price. When I saw these announced the first thing I thought of was BPS knives and what a great value they are. Of course there are differences, stainless mora vs 1066 BPS, expensive mora packaging vs cheap packaging, and I’m sure the mora fit and finish is superior. Also it just occurred to me, do the Mora knives even have a sheath?BPS has a nice leather sheath and in some cases a fire steel and is also full tang with oak handles.
    To me these Mora knives seem like either a collectors piece or a money grab while pleasing all the people who’ve been asking for a full tang mora knife all these years. For that kind of money though, there’s just too many exceptional options from other production companies or even small “custom” makers and you’ll get way more for your money.

    I think 75-100€ would have been a reasonable price tag. The thing I noticed when they launched them in the live video at IWA is that a lot of the money probably went to the design and development team because the knives themselves were not as important as the blah blah blah about the cardboard box ("ooh wow, look how it opens and closes!!") and all the hip words like sustainable and carbon footprint stuff.

      The actual retail prices in a couple months will be lower. It’s the same with all new products. Cash in on early adopters then retail will lower the price. The recommended price on a company’s website is always much higher than retail. For example I’m looking to replace my stove. The Primus Omnilite is listed at 250€ on Primus website but I can easily find it for 160€ in retail.
      People forget that Mora gets paid perhaps 50-60€ for one of these knives. The rest is retail and tax.

    The less inexpensive Mora is thinner in geometry. It will always cut paper better, even if the edge sharpness is identical. Geometry determines the functionality of the heat treatment and the steel. Having said that, I don't buy into the "less of a carbon footprint." At least, what type of Steel is it? When you're paying that much money you want to know exactly what you're getting. Please don't hide behind "going green." If it's actually more efficient, why am I paying more?

    Mora just joined the game, following the rules that "other players made" (and that the buyers accepted); we can't be mad with Mora for it (since they continue to make the classic models... But if they stop; on the Garberg Dala Red there are the coordinates of the factory... Just saying...).
    Imagine if Mora come out with a "Bushlore clone" with 60-70 euro price point; many knife-maker will not sell another knife ever. I gues Mora people thought about this too; you know: when you step in someone else yard, better to follow their rules (Mora is a giant, can enter in the yard with arrogance and be fine... ...This is not the case for every knife maker, especially nowadays).
    For sure some extra income is good and appealing but there are many factors to consider, especially because "no one is forced to buy anything". I mean...

The whole"eco" talk is bullshit. But, tbh, "eco" talk were always bullshit. Companies are making stuff from recycled materials, which were already made, used, and thrown away, so why is it more expensive? They don't have to make anything from scratch, they have almost ready product. Also, how can normal people become more "eco", when they have to pay twice the amount of a normal, "not-so-eco" product? Just be honest for Christ sake, people are not that dumb, as they used to be, when "eco" were just at the begining.

They look like great knifes and I'd happily get the whole set but for half that price. In a nutshell the steel is just not good enough to warrant such a crazy price.

There are very few knives out there that should cost more than $100 bucks. Everybody is paying big money for knives with super Steels that take the fun out of having enough cuz you never have to sharpen them.
