Mora knives are used by some branches of military in Sweden. However you need to keep in mind that for european military a knife usually isn`t meant for combat use and more as a tool/survival tool. A soldier might on his own get a combat knife, and some special forces carry a combat knife, but not the normal foot soldier. Knife combat isn`t really that much of a thing anymore, and most european military branches just want to get the load-out as slim and light as possible, a big combat knife just doesn`t fit the needs. (The german military carries a Victorinox Multi-Tool, the one-hand trekker also know as the Swiss Soldiers Knife, as their knife. Hardly meant for combat, but otherwise extremly useful.)
+German Survivalist (Dante Briefs) Great comment! Makes a lot of sense too, it really is telling...the cultural differences between say the U.S. & the Euro countries you're speaking on. We (U.S.) still need to John Wayne it all the way & carry combat knives as standard issue. Hell, I'm just a citizen with a desk job, and I open carry custom fixed blades, most of which at least have some fighting spirit built into their DNA....Americans, we like to stab stuff.
Right words. That`s it.
anyhow, I think that Companion or Companion HD) can be really deadly blade - light, razor sharp, slim, quick and grippy.
I think most European SF use Glock knives , although I can see them adding a mora to their cook kit
Anything sharp can be use for combat.
When I bought my first Mora, I thought "wow the traction is so good, this thing would make excellent shiv"
** anything can be used for combat
If the gear is coloured black now, it's automatically tactical...
Pretty much 😂, I mean the term as a whole is a bit of a fad.
I normally when I hear tactical I think of military versatility which normally isn't only fighting yet when most people refer to "tactical" they refer to fighting knives.
What the mora has going for it is it's weight (big benefit for a already overencumbered troop) and ergonomics.
Not being reflective is one thing. Mora is well versitalle knife on it's own, possibility to attack it to molle is last thing lacking, that would be nicely seen in tactical situation. At least imo
I'm buying it. It will go great with my tactical black car key...
Hahaha nice
From my experience, it's also a tactical knife. I know what many police officers and the military consider tactical, and it's almost humorous.. The real experts, the ones who put their lives on the line by often actually fighting with knives, by staying alive with knives, the unsung people in some extra special Special Forces, here and around the world,, use knives nearly identical to this Mora. They have a tad shorter blade, but that's the only real difference. If you want to sword fight, this is not the knife for you. But if you want to use a knife for fighting the way it should be done, this knife is better than most "tactical" knives I've seen, including ones carried by the police, and by most of the military. It's those scary looking, thick bladed, oversized Rambo would love them knives that shouldn't be used for combat. I know Kydex is all the rage, and it's fine for a knife you're going to openly show off, but it's the last thing I want surrounding a true combat knife. But we probably think of combat with knives in a very different way, and we certainly think of "tactical" in a different way.
I've never seen a police officer carry a Rambo type knife.
But why would Kydex be bad for tactical stuff?
A plain Companion HD cost $12-16, can take a beating, and opens MREs just as well. Like he said, spend some money on a kydex sheath. Unless you're slitting throats in Delta Force or SEAL Team 6, a Mora is perfectly serviceable though most would be better served with a good folder, or better yet, a Leatherman or Gerber multitool.
I agree not a tactical purpose built knife. I also wish they sold just the sheath portion. Thank you
Glad to hear you agree since you have military experience. Thanks for watching my friend.
They do, but it's more expensive than the knife :)
I carry it on my kit. honestly, the chances of most soldiers needing an unbreakable knife on deployment is slim. I have a gso 4.1. I don't carry it here cause I don't want to lose it. if I break a 36$ mora I can buy another 12$ one and spray paint it. I damage a seal pup and I'm out 140$ if I replace it. A soldier needs a knife for 3 things: 550 cord, mre's, and cleaning there fingernails. The mora is easy to sharpen, cheap, and still pointy enough to stab with if needed.
I thought the same as you & laughed when I first saw this knife come out! I have the Bushcraft Black in carbon and the coating is still holding up after over two years of use. I also have other Mora's and love them, but wasn't going to be fooled by this one. Thanks as always.
totally. I have a Mora on my battle belt with a custom kydex. it's light and can do the job.
I'm impressed with your ability to keep a straight face while talking about this as a tactical knife in the intro. As you say, this is not a tactical knife.
It was very hard
gideonstactical I bet! But you kept it together. Well done sir. Well done...lol
Any knife with a tip and an edge is a tactical knife if used as such.
The thing I like about the Companion is that it's so lightweight you can clip it to anything and just walk around the house and always have a fixed blade on you. I've got $200+ knives and they just sit on the shelf because I can't clip them to shorts, pajamas, etc without them weighing me down. Also, the sheath doesn't rattle like the Bushcraft SRT I have. I think this is a great knife from Mora as long as you understand its limitations. I'd say it's "convenience tactical."
Companion has been my EDC neck carry for a couple years now..
I feel sorry for Mora. Unfortunately they've locked themselves in the "inexpensive but good quality" type of knives, and anything that they release that's not inexpensive is usually not well received by the community.
Absolutely
+WeepingAngel04 Unless it's full tang, bomb proof, with a great sheath. They just aren't set up for that type of production, and refitting a factory is expensive. The belt clip on current companion sheaths actually attaches well to a molle field. I have several Mora's attached to molle stowed under a larger molle pouch on my packs. Added a piece of shock cord to hold it in the sheath.
Your right but there knifes make me happy, and cost as much as a good lunch. Kansbol is just wonderful. Want a garberg but don't know if it's worth it because the kansbol is so great.
But they're worth it in the end, I bushcrafted for a couple of years with just the Mora 2000.. Ended up getting a Garberg before I got a PKS Pathfinder, but the Mora's is knives I have always sworn by.. I really do get what Aaron is say with the tactical stuff, but Mora has never been known for military style items, even though a few armies around the world carries Mora as their main utility knife..
I think that Mora Companion (or HD version) can be a killer of a fighting blade. It is quick as hell, grippy, easy to switch grips, easy to hide, razor sharp, "shank" like blade. It can be even very good in grappling "on the ground" scenario. Much better than Gerber, not sure about the SOG tho.. If I need to really eliminate someone, than it is much quicker than most of typical heavy "combat" blades.
I have a half dozen Mora knives, including the bushcraft black. I love Mora's but I'm not spending the extra money for this particular blade... Thanks Aaron for sharing your thoughts and opinion on this blade reviewed, I appreciate it sir.
Right on!
Good honest review. Enjoyed seeing the real world use =)
hey im not sure if you do viewer requests. but was wondering if you might review the spyderco aqua salt (rust proof) knife as a camp/bush type knife. i live in florida in high humidity, swamp and salt water it might be a good option. but would love to see you review it and give your thoughts on it.
Well observed and said about Mora's current bind!
Thanks!
The Swedish Armed forces use Mora as standard knife. As a Swedish Marine, I've been using this knife through my basic training for 9 months. But now I use a Fällkniven S1b. But the Mora is a good blade! We had the Mora 2000.
Thanks for the input, the S1 makes sense
What size would you recommend for a bushcraft knife a companion to a BK7? ESEE 3 or 4 size?
definitley agree with your opinion on this...Any plans of trying out the full tang Mora?
+50 Stitches Steel As soon as if is available. Thanks for watching.
As a former SWAT operator for years, i carried the SOG SEALPUP everytime, when i left the teams i passed it on to the current team leader who still carries it.
Super cool!
I think it would be cool to just sell the sheath cover. Moras are replaceable, so if you work on them hard and like them, why not just be able to toss a new one in the same sheath on your kit when it's time. Even though there is a Mora High Q in my center console, it still wouldn't' be my first choice to carry with me, but that's just me.
Great vid as always!
Dude. Whats your Jacket you are wearing there? Love it.
I thought your review was good. You covered a number of good points. I have thought about upgrading from my Bear g
Grylls Survival knife. I am seriously considering upgrading to the Mora Gardaman when it is released. I like stainless steel blades The video previews which I have seen by David Canterbury and David of Ultimate Survival Tips looked good.
I am looking forward to seeing the final Mora Gardaman knife version. Although I have not seen the final version, it looks to me as if it would be worth the $100.
Nice and very honest review!
Thanks for watching
Totally agree with your comments PEACE :-)
Is that Mechanix fast fit gloves ?
Does the black companion scrape a firesteel?
just bought a 12inch unbreakable 1095 schf37 on ebay for 36collars its on amazon for 30 right now a beast knife i do want a thinner bush knife tho but this will do for now
where does this guy live where there is snow on the ground in may?
The Mora Companion Heavy Duty’s sheath is the same size as the ordinary Companion’s. So if you get this, you can use the molle system for both. It doesn’t hold the Bushcraft’s sheath, though, which is a shame. (Same with the Cold Steel Finn Hawk: the sheath is just a little too big.)
100 precent Agree with you on the knife.What was Mora thinking no way would I buy this knife at the price. For a camp knife or bushcraft yes it's a great blade for those jobs. Great video as always.
Thanks!
+gideonstactical I agree with Seahawk. Sure this knife is great for bushcraft and camp chores, but as a combat knife? Hah! My idea of a good combat knife is something with at least a Seven to Nine Inch blade, thin so its not to heavy, clip point, and a nice wide pommel and grippy handle.
Crazy price , I notice it’s a little longer and has serrations also
Companies are catching onto the fact that a typical weekend warrior is more likely to buy if they paint it black and add "tactical" to the name.
Yep
u make a great point why not the heavy duty and tac not never good vid cheers
without the molle it is just a normal mora. why it is more expensive?
I just keep imagining a Rambo style movie, the hero surrounded by his adversaries.....and he whips out the Mora. LOL....I SO WANT TO SEE THAT NOW!
what was the gerber knife? was it the strongarm? also link pls?
Yep, check out my review on it. Great knife for the money.
i agree with the cost issue ... but too most taccy dudes that black bs does make a world of difference... all though maybe they could have serrated a portion or made the spine towards the tip more aggresive like i dunno double edged for stabbing
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the knife. There are a couple of thing I would like to add. First of all I don't think they up the prices on their knifes, they add some more expensive models. They still have the cheap ones. Second, they do actually make "tactical" versions of the sturdier models. They have one with carbon steel blade and one with serrated stainless steel. These are pretty much the same as the bushcraft series with the added molly sheath.

If these are real tactical or just woods knives I don't know. Your points makes perfect sense. Maybe the new full tang with the "tactical" sheath would fit better to that application?
Thanks for the review - Martin
But will this match with my black tactical boxer briefs?
Mora is stepping outside its comfort zone, but it might not be for the better though.
Yep I would agree
what is the gerber called
Does it have a ninety degree spine
Cmon no stabbing it into car doors and prying doors open? This is a tactical blade right? Just joking good honest review.
Thanks so much!
A thin kitchen knife can be a weapon for emergencies so yes this mora can work as tactical weapon for me. Mora has many uses.
Can you review the Schf55
Yea it is really hard to beat that Heavy duty companion. Don't really think that is a "tactical" knife either. Question though do you know when this new $100 Mora is supposed to be released?
No sure but I will be buying it when it does come out.
Moras are actually used by the armed forces of Sweden. I'm sure they're also used by the forces of the other Scandinavian states, and maybe Finland. The knives their armed forces use is up to the men. Meaning they buy and use their own knives for military duty. I believe the Mora 2000 is the popular model among their militaries.
Maybe the use could be intended as a back u tactical blade. Say maybe you have one knife as a primary weapon, but the mora tactical as a low key woods blade for survival. Seems like it could have a place, especially for a down pilot
Possibly
I like the intro! :)
Thanks!
Hey Aaron, nice review. I have to put my 2 Canadian cents on this... the point of tactical is "stealthy"; nobody hears or sees it AND in this case of the MORA - light in weight. I have half a dozen Moras from the Eldris to Bushcraft Black - those 2 being in my bug out bag. I still have my Strong Arm on my person for sure - 2 is one, 1 is none, 3 is a son of a gun! But...
I believe that a perfect blend of a 'tactical' Mora would be doing a combination of the lightweight feature of the Companion HD (somewhat thick and durable spine), an ED coat (and the 90degree spine) like what is on the Bushcraft Black, the steel from the Garberg, the serration from the SRT, and a re-design of a full tang AND finger guards from the Companion specification. The price between the $50-70 is gonna be the chicken dinner!!!
I would buy that molle sleeve for my heavy duty...seperatly...hope I spell that right.
I consider Mora Blackblade as collectible toy. For somebody who never used Mora in authentic way, but wants to pay some tribute to respectable company.
Like myself :)
Great video, I like Mora knives but not as a tactical knife, I prefer my Gerber Strongarm..
Me too
As per Mora's Site they both are 2.5 mm thick or .0984 inches. so it a wash. why pay about $9.00 more just for the sheath? Mora Companion Black Tactical is $33.06 the Mora Companion HD Black $24.80
People are going to hate this and the bushcraft version and the new full tang. Are they worth the money? Definitely. But, we've been spoiled for too long with Mora offering us $13 blades that should probably be $75. Hopefully they keep making their economy line. So, yeah, exactly what you're saying about the pricepoint in your vid.
Thanks and I totally agree
Great review. If I was Mora, I'd call the new full tang "Mora Bushcraft" and rename the bushcraft black "Mora tactical". I think the handle of the bushcraft black with the bigger, thicker blade would make it more tactical. Not that I have any training or experience with knife fighting.
I could see that for sure
My standard Companions are already on a Molle field, one behind a sustenance pouch and the other behind a SAW pouch. The belt clip really latches onto the strap. Added a loop of 1/4" shock cord in the belt clip to hold the knives in place.
For small bushcraft and food prep only. It's also a bug out knife that always stays attached if SHTF. Got stainless for that reason.
One thing mine aren't, a quick draw knife when securely stored; and they don't need to be.
I'll pass on this model..
Thanks for showing us.
No problem
Good review as always.
Mora has the steel & the grind. If they want [more] premium prices, they've got to go with premium handles & sheaths. Think they should have included a black Sharpie so you could apply the black 'coating' as an option ;-)
The cheap coating and the bandaid sheath don't make this tactical.
Amen brother!
If this is the same coating as the bushcraft black it isnt cheap at all. It will last for ages. I believe the buscraft black has DLC coating on it
+Mr.Salpling At 1:25 Aaron says, "...it's already coming off like crazy." Reminds me of what CS put on their knives a few years back. I just don't understand why a company would bother with any coating process that quickly wears away. There's just too many good coating options available to them. Even a stonewash finish is preferable.
That said, it's still a good value just simply being a Mora & being under fifty bucks.
What i like about the mora is it’s not threatening. You can put it on your pack and take it anywhere nobody will look twice at it.
I just wish Mora made a left handed companion sheath!
You would take (and I quote) “millions of other knives” over the mora companion...
Understandable... however if I see someone running at me with a mora... I don’t care how flimsy, cheap, terrible or what steel the blade is made of...
I’m gonna run away, look back and throw distractions, use my surroundings to distance myself as far away from them as possible...
Moras brand new and out of the box are typically VERY sharp and durable... that’s enough for me.
Well said. If someone sticks me with a Mora, I'm not going to say, "hey that doesn't count because it's just a Mora"; while I'm lying on the ground trying to hold my intestines in.
@@Bruce_S yeah really lol
You said it,... It's a "black" Mora companion. Looks cool though 😀
My first Mora which I bought at Cabellas for $30. I was there, it was there, and all in all, it was a dumb purchase. Knife is fine, just better buys out there.
I would make this work for me. Oh, this will kill nicely!
So in resume. The more tacticool the better... right?
i'd be ok with a more expensive mora but they have to put more value into these. like better quality steel, better handle material. shit like that. if they don't fork out for those things. i'm sticking to regular moras.
Why on why did they not put that sheath on the bushcraftBlack???
Back when the Black was 39$ it was an ok deal but now at 49$-50$ sticking a sandstone and fire rod to the plastic sheath does NOT make up the price difference. I'm with you Arron totally not worth the extra money....neat concept but not worth the $$$$
Condor is rising their prices too ..... now that they are more popular, but working on same materials, same or new models ! I believe these tactics are wrong ! Nice video, true facts by you once more, well done!
Super lame
mora always reminds me of a shiv or a shank for some reason.
They do look like that.
These things are 18 bucks now well worth :)
With all that "tactical" bullshit that is "en mode" now, a Mora knife is much more practical than most of the tacticool crap. And I guess this Mora SRT is more solid than many so called tactical folders.
fair run down
thanks.
i wish heavyduty standless 90degspine
l love Mora knives, but... these are stil carving knives. Can you use it in combat ? Yes, you can. but do you really need ? :) Black paint does not do tactical itself like transparent paint will not make knife invisible :)
Haha
Be careful MORA, you got a great rep... if need to raise price levels, upgrade the materials !.......PAPA DUKES
Yep
Do you feel Mora can make a more expensive better quality knife without consumers being skeptical?
It will be hard
It performs exactly the same as a Bahco 2444 knife does. And it's way cheaper!
First and nice vid
Thanks for watching
I don't buy it as a tactical at all. Not only needs to be stronger and better grip but the steel needs to be changed up big time, it needs a strong steel that can take all kinds of abuse, a spray coat of some paint doesn't cut it. Now that coat makes it loose for me as a bush craft knife too, and only for that reason, everything else about it screams bush craft, but a coating that comes off so quickly is just terrible.
Ya totally agree
"Tactical" and blacked out= guys in the US buy it on reflex😏
Well said. 🤣🤣🤣
this is not even the tactical version, this one is called companion and there is another one called tacical
In your next video you should dress all in black, wear some black face paint, a black watch cap, and then shoot it at night.
You might consider products whose names include words like: Delta, Seal, Ranger, and especially "Special Forces".
It won't matter what product you show at that point (as long as it's all black too), just make sure to call it your "Tactical Review". ;)
AH SHIT. 13.00 mora is all you need.
Yeah, my thoughts precisely Aaron! And for outdoor/bushcraft tasks this knife is a complete waste of money because when it comes to outdoor/bushcraft tasks, having a black coated blade and molle sheath is utterly useless... Especially when you can buy basically the same knife with the black handle and regular uncoated stainless blade for $14! Lol. I feel like this knife is Mora's attempt at testing to see how dumb the consumers are!
all of the morakniv knives look like a kitchen knife
I ve been modifying the companion for YEARS and using it for everything. Everytime I s+@\○ somebody with it they leave me alone. Hahaha
In all seriousness though... it works for everything. I think it makes a GOOD tacticool knife if ur daily includes cutting wood...
the Bushcraft Black is more tactical
They should have just called it a Mora Companion with Tactical sheath...the knife is certainly not a tactical design and has already been dubbed the Companion. Simply adding a black coating doesn't change the intended use of the knife....Mora jumping on the Tac Train
For sure
I would trust a 20 dollar Mora, before i would the weak ass heat treatments of an almost 100 dollar Sog or Gerber..
millions? ... why not, billions...
Or trillions
Just Moraexpensive. They are at least trying new things.
I was a dealer. I was trained in knife fighting. Tactical? The skill is in the person, not the knife unit. This fact makes the more expensive Moras not worth the difference in price. If you want a tactical Mora, get a sheath that can be worn horizontally behind the back on a belt. Or if you carry a pack, modify the inexpensive Mora knife sheath to be carried outside on a pack.
Do you really want a true tactical "Mora knife," then buy a Peltonen knife and find a sheath better than the factory leather sheath. If you bounce up and down with the factory sheath, the knife may fall out. If you are cheap like me, I found a cheap Ontario sheath with a snap to retain one of my units. That "Mora type knife" has been adopted by two European armies.
You just reminded me in 12/2023 to pull out a couple of low end Moras and to stick them in the car.
OH MORA WHAT THE EVEN HECK ARE YOU TRING TO DO WITH YOUR KNIFES(lel)
Why do you keep comparing this to a Police or Military knife?? I'll admit, some of the knives that those folks use are tactical, but not all. This Mora is ALL black, which by definition (my stupid made up definition) definitely defines this deftly designed definition of "tactical" as indeed quite tactical! It's black. The color of it is. Look at the handle = black. Check out the blade = black. Well, surely the sheath can't be....yep = black. This knife is just as tactical as my black friend is, and he's a real life ninja. I typically agree with you on everything, but I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one...thanks for the video!!
No it's not tactical knive for sure.😔
You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig.
Yep
Mora should stop putting out these turds and stick with their inexpensive-quality formula.
+Titvs Vespasianvs Haha, it is true, if they have made a Heavy Duty Companion with the same coating on the bushcraft black, 90 degree spine and this sheath system that would have been epic.
