Absolutely effing LOVE how gideon does not drag out his recommendation. He tells you straight up within the first few seconds. After that I keep watching for the enjoyment of his review.
His name is actually arron... or aaron (one of them at any rate). The channel is named after the biblical character i believe.
@@darrenlamb5640 I remember the name from the Paul McCartney Beatles song “Rocky Raccoon”, which mentions “Gideons Bible”, which I believe is a group that put bibles in hotel rooms across the country. Personally I would never open up a bible, but it works for some people I guess.
This is from memory so excuse me if I get some of it wrong:
Rocky raccoon, fell back into his room, only to find Gideons Bible. Well Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt, to help with good Rocky’s revival.
So send him a Valentines Day card.
Just bought a Kansbol and took it for its maiden voyage in the George Washington National Forest. It did everything I needed it to do. It really does feel good in your hand. The blade was super sharp from the factory and I was super happy with it. I got the orange knife in case I ever dropped it, it would be easier to spot.
Smart choice on color! The whole low-viz thing is counter productive IMO for outdoor gear. The tacticool crowd pretends everything is a spec-op mission. The reality is hi-viz is far more safe and practical for gear you a actually use.
May I get information about what you did with it though?
Asking out of pure interest.
@@shamitosonPlenty of military personell uses the Kansbol, and they don't like shiny stuff at all.
Bushcraft black has my vote, the handle is awesome and my favorite.
I am new to Mora and overwhelmed - I want them all. This clip has helped me greatly to slim down my choices. I have watched a few of your videos, and as a Brit, find you very refreshing and easy to listen to and understand. Whilst entertaining, there is no unnecessary waffling, and full of facts. A great job. Many thanks.
I have several Mora knives and the Kansbol is my favorite.
Great video. I love the Kansbol. As an addition to the line-up I want to suggest the 510. This little knife is very capable and is remarkably strong. This ultra light and compact knife can do almost everything the compagnion can do . It's the perfect e.d.c. or backup blade.
Mora 2000 was designed as a hunting knife. The compound grind (thin tip) is there to make it easier to skin game and cut sinews in joints. It was quickly and lovingly adopted by all kinds of outdoor people. The kansbol is basically mora 2000 3.0. The mora 2010/bushcraft forest being the 2.0. The garberg is fashioned after the mora 2000/2010/kansbol, not vice versa.
I was thinking that the kansbol looks a lot like my old mora 2000.
Great input here Aaron. This is my first Mora purchase so a timely video. Wanted to start with the best all around product they had. Will be putting to the test in next couple of weeks on upcoming hike at Linville Gorge. Thanks for your great advice. Will keep you posted on my first experience with the Kansbol
I agree with you. I needed two knives one heavy duty all purpose utility knife and I needed a knife more geared to bush crafting tasks. For bush crafting tasks I chose the Kansbol for a utility knife I chose the Gerber Strongarm. Worked out to be an awesome combination.
Great video! Your assessment of the Mora Kansbol was spot on. My first Mora was the Eldris, my second is the Mora Garberg carbon, absolutely love both knives. As I was unpacking the Garberg I knew this knife was special. Keep up your great videos.
Had the garberg stainless in like 3 years now, just got the one in carbon almost 1 week ago, took it for some walks and really, I am inlove with it, I can feel the difference in the steel it is amazing 👏
I have a Kansbol and an Eldris. It's a good (cost-effective) solution. Great video!
Great video. I really like how thorough you are with the specs and how to operate the sheath system.
And the Mora Classics go under the radar once again
You make some of if not the best gear videos on TH-cam... at least the most honest and consistent!
Thanks Aaron for your reviews of Mora knives. Please keep them coming as new models come out, like the new spark model.
Right now I am down to one Mora. Gave the rest away over time. Which one have I kept? HD Companion in carbon steel...Oh and I use a simple diamond hone to put a 90° spine on all my outdoor knives. Takes about five minutes in a Mora....Edited: Bought more Moras of course!
Yep, your definitely right about the Kansobol. The Kansobol Mora all the way, hands down for the quality and price. Best bang for your buck. Another great review Sir
I have almost every mora except the kansbol...gotta get one! Love the garberg and the leather sheath is really nice.
A great knife, but prefer the black for ergos and pointier tip. I use the hammer grip for 99% of cutting tasks so i don't really care how it feels in my hand for the occasional other type of grip.
Thanks for the 4 way review keep up the great videos.
Anyone looking to purchase their first Mora would do well to watch this review . Thanks Aaron , as always , for this very objective , honest and practical assessment of these outrageously popular bushcraft / survival blades . I actually like the sheaths on my Moras (regular Companion MG & High Q Allround) but would have to agree that the belt clips are a bit awkward and less than ideal . Since I usually carry my Mora inside the pack (always rocking my mid-size SRK instead) , the clip isn't really an issue for me , but instead have added a hi-vis paracord lanyard , girth hitched around and through the belt clip hole , that is highly adjustable for length , so that when in camp it can be used as a dangler , a neck carry , a tree hanger , etc. Perhaps someone might find this carry mod idea useful . It has definitely improved things here ! All the best . Glenn
I’ve had several Mora carving knives, a Kansbol , a 5/11 and I just got a stainless companion with a rubberized handle . I have done some nice finish carving with the carving knife and I like the little 5/11 and I really like the new companion it’s so sharp and does food prep great 1/8” tomato slices and chicken just fine . Of all of them the Kansbol is my least favorite, I can’t seem to sharpen it !
This is a great video (and channel) and really nailed the different Moras. I have several (Companion, Bushcraft Black, Garberg, and Eldris) and find that I really like each of them, all for slightly different reasons. Kansbol is next on my list.
I concur. I especially like it as a hiking and fishing knife - lightweight, versatile in both use and carry, supremely ergonomic, and with the high temperatures, humidity, and salt in my environment, easy to maintain.
Good info Aaron, considering the purchase of my first Mora for my back packing trips
Kansbol was not in my sight radius until after I watched this excellent video...twice. Price to performance on the Kansbol, coupled with my intended use, make it the better choice for me. Thanks for a basic down to Earth presentation.
Excellent comparison video! The only downside of the recommended best Mora, is that perhaps should have recommended more of its food prep capability at the expense of knife tip strength. All in all, however, a number of excellent points and a fine analysis. Very important point on construction material differences. Keep up the Great work!
Love to see you do a review the MSK1 like to see what you think of it.
Very helpful video, thanks for your input. I think I’ll pick one up. Have a good one.
i have a garberg and i love it, but i still end up taking, and using, my classic no2 on most outings because it also has a great feel in the hand, it's lightweight, and great for most of the same tasks.
Great demonstration of the different capabilities. I agree that Kansbol is the best tool for the money.
I really like the one in collaboration with Light My Fire.
I have the heavy duties three of them. For three different packs. Also I have the Kansbol. And I've done a lot of work with all and they're both really great. But like everybody else you have to love the handle on the Kansbol. No matter what you can't go wrong with a mora knife
I love the vintage laminated steel Mora knives that you can sometimes stumble upon. Current production laminated steel Mora knives are good as well, but I like to think that the vintage ones are just a tad bit better. They are also completely ambidextrous and the laminated steel makes for easy upkeep of that scandi-grind.
Personally, I also like the old school 510 (the new 511 is ok, too), especially for the price and the 440 (Scout model, sadly discontinued) as well as the Mora 106, which is hard to beat for a dedicated woodcarving knife.
The Companion is also available in orange and black.
Also, the sheath harks back to their original purpose as knives for on site, fishing, etc, so you can attach it to the pocket of a shirt, safety harness, or whatever. Attach it to your torso and you are more likely to realise it has gone missing.
That said, I love my Kansbol. And every Mora I've owned has been excellent value and sharp as a Barracuda out of the box!
Thanks for the review
I bought a Kansbol 😊 many years ago for the reasons that you have pointed out on your video.
Good choice!
Thanks! I've been collecting knives since I was 5 years old lol 😆
@@paulstone1912 heck ya!!
Great video!!!
I have all of them and my choice is... COMPANION HD!
Recently I`d bought a great leather sheat from BPS Knives for same "special" moments
I have the companion heavy duty and so far it seems to be an incredible quality knife for the money. It comes with a dull micro bevel, that I immediately ground down to a 25-degree edge. Now that it is sharp it's a great knife in my opinion.
Hey man, when you say 25 degrees, is that the stock angle of the scandi grind on the Companion?
I "recently" did an inventory of my knife collection, which contains several brand names. I hadn't realized it, but so far I've amassed 12 Mora knives! I was amazed, I suppose that I just can't keep away from quality and reasonable prices.
Wish you would mention the slots on the back of the sheath is for a button. But as always great video.
Great video. I own some really great knives, but unless I need something specific then the Kansbol is pretty often my go to knife. Knives are quite personal, but I think this is one of the best value knives I’ve used for ages.
Hi, I got many Moras, but after a short time I sold a lot of them. My favorit knifes are 2, the Mora Kansbol, I got 2 different colours in green and orange and the new model of 2019 the Mora Companion Spark. The Spark fits cool in my hand, got size 10 in gloves, and you got the firesteel in the handle, it´s the big brother of the "light my fire" knive which had corperated with Mora, but they don´t sell this knife any more. All you need for camping or hiking or light bushcraft is the Companion Spark with a very sharp spine in my opinion !!! Good channel, good videos, keep rollin man, like it. Greetings from germany. Rob
Just ordered one via your link to Blade HQ...great work!
I personally love the Mora Pro C and the Eldris (with the multi grind). And yes, the C stands for carbon. The Eldris is in 12C27 though, but I like that steel as well.
Great comparison review video.
Mora Knives have never been high on my list to purchase. I agree with the comparison the Kansbol is the best value for money spent.
Based on the value and all around performance I would consider this knife for my Get Home Bag.
I would agree with your decision on this. The Garberg is cool, but as you said, for regular camp tasks, you don't need a huge beast of a blade or full tang. Multi-mount system is cool too.
The companion stainless serrated is my choice for use and value (but I don’t whittle or dress game). I know serrated blades aren’t cool, and definitely fall short in some areas, but, for utility, it works for me.
Just got my kansbol in the burnt orange color . It has quickly become my favorite knife , and personally I love the look of the blade profile , although I do know it’s not going to be as durable as a regular scandi grind
Thanks for this vid Aaron. I'm currently looking into getting my first Mora from Amazon and I was considering getting a bundle pack of 3 or 4 Moras. After watching vid I'm really considering the Kansbol as first and maybe getting some of the others in the future.
I’ve spent upwards of $1000 on Moras, they are so awesome. So cheap, I use mine for kitchen knives and steaks. Super hard use and still sharp. Unreal steel for everyday, dishwasher stupid man use.
I will partially agree. Out of the one shown here, you really can’t go wrong with any, but I would take the Kansbol over the other. If you’re looking for a Mora, though, there are some now great models from the past that should be looked at as well.
Love the Bushcraft Black... Don't know what your deal is with the handle... Probably the best I've ever had... I beat the crap out of this knife and it is still is awesome... I even baton with it... Like big ass stuff... and it always comes through... Sharpens easy also... Just one tough knife... Love the really sharp 90 degree spine for starting fires...
I totally agree.
yea , strange he has issues with the Bushcraft BLACK HANDLE , yet the moment i picked it up for the first time i knew it was the right one for me , it like a woman thing enit not one thing suits everybody .
Excellent video my friend,im a fan of Mora knives and have a collection of Scandinavian knives eg.More,Helle,Martini,Eka.I use the Garberg for all my hunting,fishing and camping tasks,i have the Stainless Steel model and the carbon model because I like them so much.Now a question were you wearing a Essee knife on your belt while reviewing these Mora knives.👍
For sheer value for money and useability it is definitely the best Mora knife. I enjoy using both my Garberg and Kansbol knives. I use the retention strap and the belt loop by securing them with bicycle inner tube into which I push a ferro rod giving me fire starting and tinder for emergency use. I carry each knife on my black and OG 5.11 Rush 72 packs in a P90 double magazine pouch with a folding saw. Great video, please keep informing and entertaining us.
I always liked that blade shape of the Kansbol , I first discovered it years ago on my Cold Steel Piece Makers , the 6" version is Awesome and they are only around $28 ....👍🖖
I have 3 and I still want one Mora.
My first Mora was the Garberg, then Eldris and their 'basic wood carving knife. Buy the best first time, waste of money buying cheap then upgrading. I only bought one single Spyderco and one Benchmade PM2 and the 940, instead of buying upgrades 'get the best, forget the rest'. 40 years doing woodworking and carpentry
I like my bushcraft black. The handle isn't perfect but it's a great knife for fire prep and removing material. I can't break it, having used my foot on the handle and smashing the blade through huge knots.
I LOVE my Kansbol, its the first Mora ive ever owned. I agree with all the points you made and I even like the "goofy" cuts near the tip of the blade. Next purchase will be a Garberg but im not sure if I want it in stainless or carbon.... tough decision.
go for carbon. tougher, but needs to be sharpened more often. gets a wonderful patina after a few years. Edit: spelling mistake
Aaron, excellent video n I completely agree with your perception! I own the kansbol n the companion. Both great knives. I have BHK in kephart design as well as Condor nessmuck n kephart. I find myself reaching for Mora nearly every time because I piggy back with Schrade SCHF 9 for batoning . Great Review!!!!
I have counting on top of my head 18 moras(maybe more I forgot about). I like them all. I have all that you have in this video. To me the best is the bushcrafter line. The best bang for the buck is the heavy duty.
IMO, the Mora heavy duty companion is the best Mora knife.
Do you hate the price of the companion spark compared to the reg companion?😧😧😧😧😧
Just bought Mora Garberg carbon. Rly happy with it
IMO, Bushcraft Black.
Why the stupid handles on the Garberg and Kansbol
@@michaelvonhaven105 stupid? Why?
Very good presentation. Thanks take care.
Aaron I think you are spot on with saying the Kansbol is the best Mora according to all the criteria you mentioned. I personally own several Moras and I do find when I am going out for a day or up to a week it's always the Kansbol that I choose to take with me. It's almost like an updated Mora forest and the combination grind is awesome for camp chores as well as skinning game.
I finally decided to get this knife don't need anymore but I just love mora's and the knife looks great
👍 Good video. You did a very job defending/explaining your choice on the best value Mora knife, while admitting it was not your favorite Mora knife. I was surprised the Mora Classic 2 and 3 were not in the comparison. I would argue the Mora Classic 2 is the best value and with the new Classic 2(c) with a full length tang (not available when your video was made) I would say it is also my favorite Mora knife. But, personal preferences aside good video.
I just gave my Companion to my nephew and ordered a Kansbol for me. I'm waiting forward to get it.
Totally agree. All dandy knives. All do the job. All reliable. Kansbol has all the attributes but adds lightness and utility.
Awesome vid man!!! 👍
Very good ideas, Thank you very much
I agree, just picked one up!
Still loving my Garberg stainless with leather flap sheath ($55) from last year. I don’t collect knives but I love a good tool. 👍
I’ve been carrying some type of pocket knife and knife for 50 years and I JUST got my first Mora 546 recently lol and I love this little thing and maybe more to carry than my Issue Kabar. I want to get another Mora and I’m thinking the Garberg or Kansbol especially after this amazing Video, thank you my friend truly for all the great Intel you give us in your Honest and unbiased reviews. Stay safe my Friend Semper Fidelis
My adult knife collection started with the Bushcraft Black. I haven't used it in awhile. Pulled it out today to prepare wood for a fire. Damn, what a good knife. Does most everything great. I'm thinking about picking up a Kansbol or an Eldris.
Really like my kansbol. Have been looking at Garberg but can't decide between stainless or carbon. I know the pros and cons of both but hard to make decison
Will this thinner blade do well for baton whacking to split wood and chop?
I have the Mora Garberg I wanted a full tang bushcraft knife and the option I purchased had the leather dangler with the ferrosium rod attachment and sharpener on the same attachment it has served me well for the 2 years I've had it for it was the Stainless Steel blade to boot as I live in Wales one of the wettest places on earth I personally have ever been to ha ha.
Excellent video,my friend in my humble opinion the Mora Garberg is the best value and best for hunting.I'm a big Scandi knife fan eg. Mora,Helle,Eka and I have two Bark River knives a few Buck and Gerber.But when I'm going hunting it's two Garbergs I bring,great knives,stay safe.
I love my HD Companion. Upgrading soon though. I'm thinking ESSE 4. Suggestions?
Stick with the Mora and spend the money on another Mora and a Pizza.
Agreed. The Kansbol is fantastic. The Companion Fire Starter is great but the kansbol tip and length nail it.
My GoTo Mora 90% of the time 'had' been the Bushcraft Stainless Survival Orange package. The other 10% was mainly ice-fishing with the 2000 or the collaboration Light-My-Fire. Bushcraft Black tactical in Moly just in the collection. Since obtaining Garberg 14c28N --- it is the #1 carry 90% of time mixing it up w/ the Eldris on occasion. I have the Kansbol... but it mainly hangs out in multi-mount as part of my Mora appreciation collection. If I had to say what is the best MORA (and only 1)... I'd say go Stainless Garberg in Leather Sheath. Multi-mount is only a good selection viable to reliable retention when creatively modified. IF the 'all-arounder best was based on 'value' with multi-mode capability... Companion, Robust , and Craftline HighQ Allround. 'Best' for little detailed task #1 classic & 511.
Great video - thank you!
For a one tool option I have to go with the mora carbon mine has survived tons of use and abuse and still going strong
Spot on analysis. I still like the bushcraft black best. mmmm love that hammer grip!
I go with the garberg just due to thickness. But I do love the profile of the kansbol
Agree with your choice and came to this same conclusion a little while back, as I am about to buy one. Of course, the ultimate Mora would be the Kansbol in full tang.
Thanks Aaron!
I believe considering all aspects, Kansbol is the BMW of Moras.
I love mine.
Thanks for very precious review and all those precise comparisons.
Yeah but the garberg is the rolls royce of moras ; )
@@darrenlamb5640 can’t agree more
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!!
Great review, what are your thoughts on the eldris?
Probably way too late for your purposes, but I’m not a huge fan of mine. It’s all belly.
My favorite is Companion. Like you said, Bushcraft handle is awkward for those times you do power/shoulder pull cuts.
I think I'd be more sold on Kansbol if it rocked the 14C28N instead of the 12C27N.
Can anyone confirm if the Mora 2000 also is 12C27N??? They have a special edition going on
Which Esee is on your hip at 8:30 mark? I'm an Esee geek sorry. Great video BTW
I thought you said it was perfect for witchcraft. Had to relisten to hear woodcraft
I like the video. KNIVES are so personal opinionated. I like the fact that the kansbol not ur favorite but in ur opinion it's the best for the buck. I like ur reviews. Thx
Let me know the day you loose the mora companion sheath by any of the ways suggested.
I was gonna say. I can't get these things off a belt to save my life.
You should review the Mora Aldris pocket knife.
great video, thanks. i saw in Mora Sweden that the Morakniv guys apply special heat treatment to their blades. so you can say that the 12C27 is like 1095 after that. really tough and sturdy.
@@Butch_Deezlsteak thanks for your reply. so please correct me :-)
@@Butch_Deezlsteak thanks for the info.
one more question :
the Sandvik 12C27 and 14C28N come in knives from all over the world. they have different HRC coming from different factories. the occurance of chipping is different, too. they all claim it's due to their heat treatment.
so what is it ?
Great video. Garberg all the way. Although I do have HD Companions in all my kits as a backup/camp knife.
17:22 watcher in the woods ;)
Great video. Has anyone got any experience of battoning with the Kansbol. It looks a bit delicate to me and i wouldnt want to break it. Thanks
Love my Kansbol. Get a good woodworking/camp knife that can be used to strike sparks. A good do it all practical knife.
