The best knife for starters: sharp, light, affordable. One of the best knives in production today, period. I put The Morakniv Companion to the test by making a One-stick fire and later, processing a large catfish with it.

Thanks to your video I bought this knife a few days ago and I LOVE IT!! It's probably the best 20$ I've spent so far. The knife is lightweight, the perfect size for EDC and/or camping, can easily be sharpen, has the most comfortable handle EVER and is very durable. Using this knife is a pleasure and it will definitely be my companion from now on.
Well done. I've often used my Companion HD for processing chickens, rabbits and squirrels. I never thought anyone would want to see that. Now I'm thinking twice about that. BTW, I got Companions for every member of my family as starter knives. They love them.
I have also used the Mora Companion HD to clean white tail. Love it.
how did that fare? I have been on one of my "woodsman video" kicks, and I was wondering how a mora would fare.
It did very well. It is sturdy enough for cutting tough tendons but still light enough to be easy to handle. I even chopped through a shoulder bone that was shot up. Made super fast work of field cleaning too.
thanks 4 the info
They make a great gift and tool!
LOL, your awesome bro. One thing that you do in your reviews that I really like, is you tell the price. A lot of guys dont do that. You also process everything on the video, thats cool too. Great Video. I have the Mora Companion HD in the same color.
to this day, this is still one of my favorite knives, such a tough little workhorse.
After ages of using and collecting knives all around the globe, as cook, hunter, diver, home butcher I found Mora Companion is for Top notch pros actually. 🔪
Hey buddy, got my first mora today. Thanks for ALL your vids. God bless.
I have 8 different Mora's and love them all. Great knives for beginners and everyone else too! In regards to your feather sticks, all they need to be is functional, not beautiful. LoL Thanks for the video Bro.!
+Dano DeMano love moras too. ive got 5 right now, but im getting the new garberg and kansbol soon as theyre out. thanks for watching!
I appreciate your honest opinion.
Thanks for a great video. Nice to see real world use.
+Matthew Specker thanks! if ye liked this review, oh man, youve gotta see my mora bushcraft black review, youre gonna love it.
You've come a long way from this, I've always enjoyed your videos!
Cool vid as always I like how you processed fish answered something I was wondering keep up the great vids
love how you show to process what you catch
Absolutely right, Merry Christmas Dennis
I thought I heard Cuervo say "It's moving" Lol!!
Bought one at Cabelas last weekend strictly for processing fish. I did a couple of good size trout and loved how it performed for the 16 bucks I paid it’s exactly what I was looking for! Great video !!
Great review subbed
glad ye enjoyed it!
that was a hell of a review real tests real world situations rather than people stabbing it in a tree and standing on it. thank you i subscribed.
Jacob jacoby that wasn't mora companion!
I really like how you show the knife in a real world type of use. Everyone shows the knife batoning wood or making feather stripes. To see the knife used to process game and make a fire is great. I don't want to have to carry a game knife and a bush craft knife. The mora seems to just get it done.
Say Heah James, Last weekend, I teamed up my Fox Parang Bushcraft Jungle Knife with my Vintage Frost Mora 840 MG. a near perfect color match. And both performed beautifully. The difference between a Clipper and the Mora Companion is the Tang and Blade length I think, The Tang is a little linger but more slender where the Clipper its shorter but more robust. But the hard plastic is in a strategic place in both knives that make such a lite knife very strong. Infact if it was metal instead of plasic, I think you could baton them. Yeah, That Clipper did everything I expected from it. Built today I took my Bushcraft Parang and teamed it with my Benvhmade Bushcrafter #162, and it sort of color matches Ok, But a much stronger knife. I originally bought the 3V Master Hunter to tean up with it. I almost teamed it with my Mora 2000 which I know would team well with it too. So I'm going to get the Mora Kansbol and the aeldris to team up in Green because I like the Mora 2000 knife and the Kansbil is very similar and the Eldris will be my neck knife.,,.
awesome video man i like how you mentioned its a desendent of the puukko which has been used by the norse people for thousands of years for everyday things, nice educational tidbit
I've used knives all my life and by far the Mora Companion is the cheapest yet most effective knife I've ever bought. The most expensive knives aren't the sharpest ones. I'm in love with my Mora Companion. I actually bought the green one!
Thank you for your advice, to file the spine flat, for throwing sparks on a ferrorod. Really helpful!
its a really nice knife (I bought one after I acquired the Mora Bushcraft Black) and I intend to use it mainly for cooking (stainless steel version) and when I work at the beach
love moras in general, excellent tools. right now im playing with the new garberg knife.
and price is also an argument...
I am not convinced about spending much money when you can also do with less!
moras are good enough and for the real though jobs I always have my machete with me
Mora the best,super recension
Great review. These are in all my emergency kits. A high quality knife you can obtain in bulk for a reasonable price.
LOL i forgot how shiny moras come when they're new.
luckily they take a patina quickly with use, jsut wouldnt be fair to review my old beat up mora, so i bought the second one jsut for this review. thanks for watching.
Good for signaling.
Sound like u don't clean you're knives
@@finneassblakley1927 no most moras are carbon steel, so they pick up a patina which you can't clean off
And still excellent tools.
I'm not a beginner, i have a hugue collection of knives and the Morakniv companion MG carbon still one of my favourites knives, can carry it anywhere and i don't feel underknifed at all...
Nice video. I’m not a big fan of batoning unless it’s an emergency. Why abuse a perfectly good knife that way unless you have to? That’s what hatchets and axes are for. I have a stainless Companion, and like it very much. For an under $20 knife you can’t beat it.
I don't know where you guys got that info, that carbon blades can strike a spark while stainless blades can't! That's total BS. It's not the blade that creates a spark, but the ferrorod or the firesteel or whatever you want to call it, all you need is a sharp edge/spine on your knife. The Fallkniven F1 is stainless and it works just fine with a firesteel.
I know this is an old video but I just ordered this knife because of it. It would have been nice for you to show how you filed the spine tho
Just rec'd my Companion HD in Carbon and put a patina on using heated apple cider vinegar. Looks great, am sure it will handle fish with ease, although I am not a fan of catfish. However, when you are hungry enough even bottom dwelling slime suckers taste good, especially with some seasoning.
I am certain the Trash Pandas or Coyotes appreciated the leftovers.
I do take exception to people saying, "it's just a $15 knife". These are awesome values from $15 to $99 so there is a quality knife for everyone.
I have 3 HD,MG and stainless,,but I like MG with thin blade and I did sharpen the spine and it's great,pair that with Bowie SP-10 and an axe..You are good to go...Starts fire 🔥 too...
Cool beans
That fish was defiantly alive. I watched it move 3 or 4 times. I would defiantly hit it a lot harder next time or stab it through the top of the head to ensure a quick, painless death. Good video though and the blade seems mighty fine. Your review style is very realistic and that is what makes your channel a lot better than the others. Keep doing what your doing mate.
It was alive but knocked out
Fish can’t feel anything don’t worry
Your old mora, is it the heavy duty one?
no its the regular version
Tenho uma mais é de inox. Ótima faca recomendo!!
What kind of knife is the other one thats full tang?
the lt wright gns knife
awesome only if it could of start a fire with the Ferro rod need to get me one to start fires at my garden .
Moras are way more than just great beginners knives lol i can do everything with this knife that i can with my $200+ knives of similar size of course
Lmaoo I’m vegan, so watching you cut the fish made me cringe so hard. But in a survival situation I have no dietary restrictions. So seeing you actually clean a fish out with it was exactly what I wanted to see (I actually wanted to see a rabbit or a bird, but I guess a fish would be the easiest to catch).
Has anyone drilled a lanyard hole in the end of handle? Would that even be recommended?
ive seen it done in a few vids. just search mora companion modification on youtube.
Thanks for the reply! Would you consider this a good EDC?
Say Heah, I forgot to mention, The 3 3/4" blade on the Clipper has a more continuous curve so I like how it slices better for me.,,.
Perhaps more practice with processing fish, before Filming a demo. Went with the bright orange Companion, has been excellent for skinning and processing fish and game. As well as being a solid carving knife for detail work planing and heavy gauging. I enjoy your videos, Stay real JYF!
If you get stuck by the spine of a catfish the slime on the belly will help with the itritation
Ok call me a looser bro but im doing a junkfox-a-thon and binding all the videos u made ...... Again lol. A ton of info in these videos.
sometimes ye jsut gotta sit back, relax and watch like a million youtbe vids lol
+Junkyard Fox well said
I thought you were going to make a Pinata until you ripped the head off.
I like your videos, but i don't understand this american obsession for fire flints, i know that pressurized gas lighters don't work at high altitudes, but still there are petrol ones that even carry their own spare parts. Is that for a backpack/weight reason? Isn't that another american obsession?
dont et me wrong, i carry a lighter in my boot and a second in my pack, i use it quite often while in the wilderness. however, the purpose of this vidoe was to review a knife, so testing the knife to strike a ferro rod is more appropriate than just using a lighter. i dont fear weight, dont like to be over-encumbered ether, ut i always have what i need.
nice review but.... the fish was still moving/breathing, couldnt u clearly see that? not that im a fish expert, but i guess as long as something moves, its still alive and shouldnt be cut open with a knife.
no its dead. a lot of animals still slightly move when killed but its nerves.
It gets so tiresome listening to ignorant statements like yours. Dead or alive, it's a fish. It doesn't feel pain like humans do, and it has essentially no brain. This world is going to perish if people don't stop pushing anthropomorphism on others.. Especially lower forms of animals like fish and roaches.
Tell me, why shouldn't something that's still alive be cut open with a knife? How better to kill it? Dead is dead, and the animal is not self aware. It's also the only [practical way of preparing fish, lobster, etc.
Stop living on pure, completely false, emotion, and start learning to use the reasoning part of your brain. You might begin by actually learning something about fish, lobsters, and other lower forms of life.
You might also want to watch a ion slowly eat an animal that's still alive, and sometimes remains alive for hours. This is not Disneyland, and Bambi is just a cartoon.
james, that was the most inhuman, stupid, arrogant and life-itself-disrespecting comment i ever read on youtube, congrats. i really hope i will never have much to do in my life with persons like u.
junkyard fox, thx for answering.
Almost every animal will still move around a bit immediately after it's death, I've seen snakes that still move around slightly after they had their heads cut off, organs removed, and skin taken off, literally nothing but muscle and bone that still moves just a little. Muscles are just kinda weird like that.
ugly feather sticks don't matter when they lite!
+BearHart Outdoors out here in the desert, practically anything is a tinder source so i do slack it on my feather sticks, but theyre looking a little better now lol
I agree. This is a good knife for a child or poor person, but it in no way shape or form can compare to a true woodsman's knife. It is better than the Wal-Mart junk but it is still a cheap and easily damaged knife with no tang that just won't hold up to heavy camp chores. People like these because they are $15, not because they perform when most needed. Still not horrible for the money.
