I have a dozen or so Moras. I wear one clipped in my pocket (easier than clipping on belt) every day for work. I've never broken a blade, handle OR had any problem with any part of the sheath. I've put them through hell. Can't beat a Mora. Worth alot more than they cost
To me, my mora companion is that beloved utility style kitchen knife that you always grab, the one you always wanted to edc but couldn't because you had no sheath for it. It fits your hand perfectly, its easy to sharpen, you keep it razor sharp and it just feels so good in your hand! It looks good and its just the best knife in the house for any and all cutting jobs. Thats what the mora companion is to me. I have several and one is always on my side. somtimes one on both right and left sides at the same time. It is truly my EDC KNIFE above all others. I know im being long winded here but true knife lovers will understand my sentiment. Every knife lover has that one special knife he or SHE loves and thinks is the best knife in the world. For me its a mora companion. No other knife can beat it.
The sheath does stay on a 11/2 inch belt very securely for me for years! Off grid garden and forage. I carry a companion carbon for trimming brush and vines. I also carry a kansbol sandvic stainless on the other side for food and fine soft cutting! A small machete for heavy vine cutting and firewood stuff!
I just ordered the green Mora Companion HD a few days ago with the Cold Steel Finn Wolf knife. I have a Cold Steel Trailboss ax I use to split kindling, I've had the ax for a year and a half and I'm impressed with it for light duty tasks despite it being made in China. I love products from Sweden, I'm a faithful Husqvarna chainsaw and yard equipment guy and Sweden has a superb reputation for their steel, whether its knives, axes or saws!
That was a nice explanation at the end about usage. The people of S.N.A.C. (Small Knife Anti-abuse Coalition) thanks you for your support. Every year many small or short bladed knives are horribly beaten and malformed, never able to resume normal function.
The belt clip holds securely, at least my Moras do. I have 3 Moras, a Hi Q, a Companion MG, and a HD Companion. All are excellent blades. Use a saw to get through bone, not a knife, I do. I've been a woodsman for over 50 years and I gotta say that Mora are the best inexpensive knives that I've run across. As an aside, I do not baton my knives, that's what hatchets and machetes are for.
Armory Plastics makes a kydex sheath for the companion in either black or orange for about $20 on Amazon! And since u have the orange one already, you're set!! Also if you want leather, Hide & Drink make some nice leather sheaths for around 20 as well!!
Cool vid, keep 'm coming! When I carry my Companion I just stick it in my front right pocket while clipped to the waistband of my trousers, works like a charm for me. The plastic clip might look flimsy but it has held up for several years so for without problems.
I love the Mora knives I own two of them the companion HD MG and the bushcraft black. I am also planning on getting a few more Mora's later. They are a very handy and very tuff Knives.
Just bought the Companion off Amazon. It has a light brown handle and sheath. I should've bought the orange one for the reason he said, but it still looks great.
I know this is an old review but anyone watching this, if you put a hair tie around the clip and over the knife handle it fixed the blade retention problems. 👍
I have a few of these now, I recently got a black one that is stainless, they are great knives, also I love the beard, us beards must always stick together haha -Kyle
Been thinking about getting a companion in stainless...Love the carbon steel version and I have probably a dozen Moras, but think I'll pick up a stainless version now too. Thanks for the info and the great review!
Would this be sufficient for prepping fire wood etc and food prep and possibly shelter if needed as i will be ordering after my first two weeks living in tent as this is my only current choice
I'm fully with you on the sheath. Nearly sliced my leg open while rock fishing when the knife worked free - very dangerous indeed!!! I felt like burning it also!
The Mora Companion is a great camp knife. It takes care of the task my axe is unsuited for. Good review and good points. I made a dangler for my most used Mora and it works well. Carry On!
Great video 👍 !!! I happily own a little "practical" collection of Morakniev knives such as the following : 1. Garberg Dala Red (new for 2024) +Survival kit 2. Companion Navy Blue 3. Eldris Blue 4. 546 Blue & Orange (Limited) All Excellent 👌 Value for Money Knives, that you will NEVER regret buying !!! Most of us won't have to spend more money since for most occasions they are enough. I would also add in the collection one day the 5. Kansbol Dala Red or Orange/Green Hunting 6. Bushcraft Black / Companion HD 7. 511 Red 8. Hatchet Orange Additionally, if Police Officers check on you in the woods, or in the country side, then you most likely be FREE to go if you don't look as an assassin, terrorist, mentally ill or drunk etc. Unless you are Delusional or John Rambo or there is a Zombie Apocalypse you don't really need to get ESSE 4,5,6 & Junglas... Here in Greece it is illegal to carry knives. The law is strict and all people "hide" them in backpacks, duffle bags, until they get in their destination & use them for cooking, camping, fishing, hunting & go through the mountains.
Great combo my friend !!! I combined Moras such as Garberg for Heavy Duties, Companion for Meals & Eldris as a Necklace... Enjoy life & stay healthy...
Nice video. I used to live in Oahu, Hawaii (Makakilo) from like 1970 almost to '74. I loved it, but I prefer the woods except I have ended up here in Florida, which has woods, but it's still more tropical, meaning hot and humid most of the year. So, I am thinking of stainless steel for most outings or to use in the yard.
The carbon steel moras can have a DIY finish put on. Stick the knife in soft boiling apple cider vinegar. After a few applications it will have a forced patina that will help prevent rust.
I don't like stainless steel for knives I'm taking into the wild, but I have several Mora Companion high carbon steel knives, both regular and heavy duty. I don't do orange, either. I have no trouble with the Mora sheath. I carry it on my belt, which is NOT a dress belt, and it works perfectly. If it's on right, it is not coming off. I also don't abuse any knife by chopping with it, or batoning with it, or cutting bone with it. They make machetes are such things as large kukris for chopping, and they make saws and hatchets for cutting through bone. The job of a knife is cutting, and anything else is abuse.
James Ritchie yes I believe a knife is designed to cut but if I just cut a bunch of fruit and vegetables or carve a spoon it wouldn't show how tough this knife is under reasonable working conditions. Mahalo
He is right though. I have had one of those come off my belt. I tape it so it cannot open, but It is not great on the belt. They are fantastic as neck knives
everyone who reviews this knife in the stainless steel option say that they got the orange version because its easier to find but in reality its because the orange one is the cheapest of the colors in the stainless steel versions lmao
Daniel Rosado I actually got this knife in stainless steel because it's a my Camp kitchen knife and fishing knife also I live in the jungle so stainless steel is great for small knives. Mahalo for watching
Just made an order and cant wait to receive it. This will be the cheapest knife off my collection. Im not using it for bushcraft or for food. I collect them because I like knives and I wear them when Im going out with my family in a park or something like it. I wear it to protect my family against dog attacks.
H.I.S Survival yeah I did it it's tighter but melted a little kinda looks crappy not to bad but it's right now idk how to make a kydex thanks for getting back
awesome knife right there man! only thing I hated was the sheath. never stays on the belt and has too much friction hold for my liking. I made a kydex drop leg sheath for it, check it out in my videos if you've got a second!
Say Heah Gave, Aliha, Yup, I used my First Mora 840 Clipper MG all weekend, I teamed it with my Fox Bushcraft Jungle Knife. a near perfect color match. Anyhow, it performed beautifully.,,.
Great video from a loyal subscriber. We love Mora Companions here here where I live. Visit us and see our video entitled: "Mora Companion has a new companion." I think you'll like it.LJ Vietnam Veteran, USMC
of course you would never abuse the knife that way that he does but he is just showing you basically for 8bucks you can not beat it there isn't a company out there far as I'm concerned sorry bout writing a bunch lol
Gabe, you nailed this review. Extremely well done and complete.
Rick C much mahalo
Exactly
I have a dozen or so Moras. I wear one clipped in my pocket (easier than clipping on belt) every day for work. I've never broken a blade, handle OR had any problem with any part of the sheath. I've put them through hell. Can't beat a Mora. Worth alot more than they cost
I've worn the clip sheath on my work belt everyday for the last 2 years . Never a problem.
barra650 the knife is so light the sheath does work I agree and for the price it's no big problem. Mahalo for stopping by
My first knife was a Mora. Absolutely love the thing. Sure I got bigger and badder knives now but my companion is so dang handy.
Great all-around budget utility Camp knife
To me, my mora companion is that beloved utility style kitchen knife that you always grab, the one you always wanted to edc but couldn't because you had no sheath for it.

Nice knife you'll never lose it in the woods it stands out well.
They clip on fairly well. I usually hang it out of my back pocket. I have trouble getting it off most times. Moras are great.👍🏼
Thank you very much, nice review about the mora companion. Good explanation about stainless steel vs carbon steel. Long life to you buddy.👍🤗
I just ordered the green Mora Companion HD a few days ago with the Cold Steel Finn Wolf knife.

Pretty unbeatable for the price. I keep one in my get-home bag. Thank you for the video, Gabe

In the jungle your belt knife better be very secure or you'll lose it. yes a bone saw is preferred when cutting bone. Mahalo for watching
A $12 Mora and a $15 machete (Central American made please) is a great combo.
Armory Plastics makes a kydex sheath for the companion in either black or orange for about $20 on Amazon! And since u have the orange one already, you're set!! Also if you want leather, Hide & Drink make some nice leather sheaths for around 20 as well!!

I'm with you there,knives are made for light cutting only.There are tools dedicated for heavy chopping.Don't do crazy things with it.
I love the Mora knives I own two of them the companion HD MG and the bushcraft black. I am also planning on getting a few more Mora's later. They are a very handy and very tuff Knives.
Just bought the Companion off Amazon. It has a light brown handle and sheath. I should've bought the orange one for the reason he said, but it still looks great.
By the way, it's my first ever Scandi grind.
Great video, very well explained. You helped me to make a decision. ..I just ordered an orange Mora Companion in stainless steel. Thank you.
alexkid777 much Mahalo
I love Mora knives, for the money you can't do any better.
I know this is an old review but anyone watching this, if you put a hair tie around the clip and over the knife handle it fixed the blade retention problems. 👍
Mahalo Braddah for the review. I just got my first Mora, a companion also. Main purpose for hunting to gut pig. Great knife for deboning too!
308Gunner for the price it's one of the best knives out there. Mahalo
I have a few of these now, I recently got a black one that is stainless, they are great knives, also I love the beard, us beards must always stick together haha -Kyle
i just purchase one right after your review. its about 18$ in korea. lovely price.
great blade

11:07: "I know a lot of people buy 12 or 15 of them and use them as steak knives" -- 👍😁That's not a bad idea!

Planning on getting a Mora but I’m torn between the 860 companion and 546 basic. Any advice for me or recommendations? Thanks
companion is better
Great review. I've already ordered one
mahalo
I did a review of this knife too, and I love it. (Almost as much as my Cold Steel Canadian Belt knife). Great review, I subbed. :)
I just got mine in today. plan to pair it with my Becker BK9.
The85F0X that's a great combo right there. Mahalo for watching
Great combo my friend !!!
I combined Moras such as
Garberg for Heavy Duties,
Companion for Meals &
Eldris as a Necklace...
Enjoy life & stay healthy...
amazing review I just ordered a green one
Chris Hanna thank you

MasterK9Trainer Mahalo!! Stainless steel on small knives is brilliant less maintenance easy for food prep
The carbon steel moras can have a DIY finish put on. Stick the knife in soft boiling apple cider vinegar. After a few applications it will have a forced patina that will help prevent rust.
Thank you Louie C.K.!
Use knife angle of 45 and bend the branches and push down in to slice instead of chopping
is it possible to use a firesteel with that knife?
If you flatten the spine to create a true 90 degree edge on the back then it'll be great for that.
Six years later how's it holding up
Still rockin
I was just gifting a black one and I have a kore 1.5 in nylon belt no way is that seath coming off
Great knives. Great video. I'm jealous of where you get to go play. Cheers mate 😄
Mahalo!! Shooooots brah!
Nice Spear.👍
Chopping with a Mora.....now I’ve seen everything. LOL...excellent review.
it can do it

Would you recommend it?.
yes
Gabe Humphries thanks. I'm gonna try to get one soon for my bug out bag.
your head looks super big lol
Adam Greene
That's what she.....its the beard LOL
Really wish people would stop bitching about the sheath. It's literally every review. Just pretend it's throwaway packaging if it bothers you so much.
Cletus Kasady beautiful statement. ..lol....but true....I like the sheath clips on my belt perfectly. ..
He is right though. I have had one of those come off my belt. I tape it so it cannot open, but It is not great on the belt. They are fantastic as neck knives
I have one, stainless
Worn mine on my bet for 3 years, alllmost every weekend. Web belt.
everyone who reviews this knife in the stainless steel option say that they got the orange version because its easier to find but in reality its because the orange one is the cheapest of the colors in the stainless steel versions lmao
Daniel Rosado I actually got this knife in stainless steel because it's a my Camp kitchen knife and fishing knife also I live in the jungle so stainless steel is great for small knives. Mahalo for watching
There is a video where the guy takes a 511 an abused the hell out of it took a lot to break
Grate knife
Just made an order and cant wait to receive it. This will be the cheapest knife off my collection. Im not using it for bushcraft or for food.
I collect them because I like knives and I wear them when Im going out with my family in a park or something like it. I wear it to protect my family against dog attacks.
That just sounds dumb tbf any knife can do that
I had to mod my sheath for now till I can shrink it with a hot gun
Justin Reapermilitia gardner that's a good idea I just make a Kydex sheath but I like your idea. Mahalo for sharing
H.I.S Survival yeah I did it it's tighter but melted a little kinda looks crappy not to bad but it's right now idk how to make a kydex thanks for getting back
"great light duty knife" ....chops down tree
jokes aside, great review. Purchased one myself :)
awesome knife right there man! only thing I hated was the sheath. never stays on the belt and has too much friction hold for my liking. I made a kydex drop leg sheath for it, check it out in my videos if you've got a second!
I cut my finger off with this exact knife lol
Something tells me thats just bollocks to try grab attention
Say Heah Gave, Aliha, Yup, I used my First Mora 840 Clipper MG all weekend, I teamed it with my Fox Bushcraft Jungle Knife. a near perfect color match. Anyhow, it performed beautifully.,,.

Who are the people you suggest?
Say that again? Please paraphrase.
