Muy buen cuchillo, gran filo y muy buen precio

My first experience with Mora knives came in the mid to late 80's when I found their wood handled blades at a local hardware store for $5-6. I bought a few and actually used them as throwing knives, lol. This was before I knew anything about knives. I do remember the steel on those blades and the edge they kept. Short of physically damaging the blade, the edge took every bit of abuse I could throw at it (or throw it at). Sure I chipped a few tips off and nicked a couple edges during my attempts to learn how to throw, but the steel took it in stride. The undamaged parts of the blade remained razor sharp for months of abuse. I don't know what happened to those old blades of mine, but when I saw the line of Mora knives on Amazon, my memories came flooding back. I knew I was going to buy at least one to see if my memory was as good as I remember on these knives. While I seem to remember the blade thickness was quite a bit thicker back then, this current knife looks like it is keeping the tradition alive. The factory edge is scary sharp. Time will tell if it'll keep the edge like I remember it. I'll be using this knife as my general camping blade this season, and if it holds up to the work load like I think it will, I'll be buying a couple more for my survival kits. The generous grip fills my fairly large hands, and the soft black rubberized handle offers a firm hold. Time will tell if it gets slick when wet, but the contour of the handle feels like it will be easy to hold regardless of the conditions. The hard plastic sheath holds the blade firmly without risk of it coming out before you need it. The sheath holds the blade so firmly, in fact, that I'm very cautious removing the knife. I don't think the clip on the sheath will fit my MOLLE webbing as it is 1.25" wide. Unfortunate, but not a deal breaker. Bottom line is this is a solid knife with an amazing blade that, if history holds true, will keep an edge for a very long time.

Really comfortable full sized handle, super sharp, easy to sharpen, decent sheath for the money. You can't go wrong with a Mora. They are as sharp or sharper than anything you can buy at just about any price and made in Sweden. Just be advised that the carbon steel will rust if not cared for or alternately used regularly. This goes double for people in a damp or salty environment. I normally wipe the blade with a bit of food safe mineral oil to protect the blade. A week ago I used my knife on a camping trip and forgot to oil the blade before storing it. When I took my knife out yesterday, the front half of the blade was coated in rust. A bit of steel wool fixed the problem (although the blade is still stained where the rust had accumulated). If you are concerned about rust, the Mora is also available in stainless steel. Having said that, there is something special about a carbon steel blade. They are said to take a better edge and hold it longer than cheap stainless alternatives. As I understand it (and I'm not an expert), a good stainless blade will likely provide 90%-95% of the capability with the added benefit of rust protection. I still recommend the carbon steel blade because it's old school classic and definitely better than stainless, if only slightly.

Es la versión antigua del military companion, el lomo es un poco más fino que los actuales. Lo cual personalmente considero una ventaja porque tiene mejor corte. Es de acero al carbono, lo cual es otra ventaja aun mayor porque se afila de miedo con cualquier cosa que tengas a mano. Y es enterizo, así que aguanta muchísimo trote. La funda es muy simplona, pero cumple con su función y no retiene humedad, lo que ayuda a evitar que la hoja se ennegrezca. Como apunte decir que es el tercer cuchillo mora que tengo, siendo los dos anteriores variaciones de este modelo en acero inoxidable. Siempre me han funcionado mejor que otros cuchillos con materiales más elaborados y más caros. Porque su secreto radica en que al ser tan convencional, o clásico que dirían algunos, es fácil tenerlo siempre a punto y utilizarlo en cualquier situación.
