Mora Bushcraft Triflex Carbon Steel Knife

Now, let me preface this by saying I have not used this knife in the field yet, just around the house, etc.Like a few others, mine arrived not quite as sharp as seems to be the norm. It was sharp, just not shaving sharp. I was a little disappointed, thinking, was that all just hype? After a few strokes on a whet stone, then stropping it, I am happy again. Just from an initial sharpening, this is one of the sharpest knives I own.I like the handle texture, slightly rubberized and I think it would provide a good grip, even when wet. It's a tad small for my hand, but I have huge hands XXL/XXXL gloves. I am used to things being sized for smaller hands, so no complaints. The blade is thick enough, about 3/32". This isn't a BK2.As for the sheath, since I am not used to Mora yet, I have no point of reference on how it's improved over previous models, but it's not bad at all for a plastic sheath. The knife is held in securely, it's comfortable to wear, and since the knife is so light, you can almost forget you have it on. I will be adding a ferro rod and some 550 some time soon before I take it somewhere I may need it. Speaking of that, using the back of the blade on a ferro rod works, it works best if you use the portion on the backside of the tip, but it's still doesn't give the same amount of sparks as the scrapers that come with most ferro rods. While I think it would work, I'd prefer to have larger shower of sparks from a dedicated scraper.All in all, bang for the buck, I sincerely doubt you can find much better than this. I'll update once I put it to some real use, but so far, it's a very impressive value.

I just finished reviewing this knife for my youtube channel: bushcraftknifereview. Prior to the 2011 remakes, the triflex was my favorite Mora knife. The steel, which has the most flexibility of any of their blades, is also the easiest to keep shaving sharp. The sheath was a vast improvement, but I was very disappointed with the handle.Before anyone overreacts and tells me that I am crazy, please allow me to explain. When you do serious bushcraft and spend days or weeks outside, one of the primary cutting motions that you use is the chest lever pull. Essentially, this requires the user to hold the knife sideways in his hand with his thumb rested on the base of the blade. The wood is then drawn across the blade for maximum power and control. The problem with the new Mora series is that the ergonomic handles, fantastic when using a traditional grip, fail to perform with alternate grips. They are a recipe for discomfort and blisters. Don't believe me? Do 5 hours of chest lever cuts with the new handles and you'll get the picture when you start feeling like you are getting deep bruises in between your pointer and middle fingers.I love Moras and I stand by them 100%, but I still feel that their best knife is the Mora #1 - the old red wooden handle. It has the most versatility for multiple grips, looks better with age, and is cheap as chips. Sometimes we should follow the old motto, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."Thanks.Bill[...]

This is a very nice knife for your base line survival outfit. The blade is unquestionably made with quality and craftsmanship and I was literally able to shave with it. The handle is soft but seems durable; I love the 'grippy' feel.No, it's not full tang, but it's not in there with a little stud either. I'd agree with the other review that it is probably half or 3/4 tang. But I can't see it coming apart any time soon if used for its intended purposes: Cutting rope/cord/cloth/wood or plant matter, eating, and I could see skinning with it honestly.UNINTENDED purposes that you should have other tools for if you have a brain: Batoning (seriously? You don't carry a pack saw or a camp axe?), digging in the dirt (sharpen a stick, dig with that, silly), throwing at things, cutting nails (lol what?)Not sure about the sheath. I'd prefer a -little- tighter fit; I think what I will do is lay in some duct tape at the contact points near the top of the inner sheath. I don't think it would fall out unless you fell yourself, but I'd rather have peace of mind.I look forward to taking this thing backpacking. I will definitely look at other Mora knives in the future.UPDATE:After several trips camping and some fishing, I'm still satisfied with this knife. It guts and cleans fish with relative ease, is easy to clean up, works fine for cooking. Carved a few wooden stakes with it at camp too. It's holding an edge fairly well too. Good knife, great price.

I don't like the sheath, not going to bash the knife for it though, I knew what to expect.The blade itself was good, scary sharp, strong, would do anything I needed it to do.My disappointment comes from the handle. I go from using one of the classic series, or perhaps the 2000 with their nice rounded handles, to this thing. The finger groove, or choil, or whatever you want to call it jut annoyed the hell out of me.Its as though the knife is demanding that I only hold it one way. Yes, I can use different cutting techniques with it, but not comfortably for long periods of time, like I can with some of their other knives.They used this same handle style with the black too....what a shame. (for me anyway).Whenever I hear or see the word "ergonomic" when in reference to a knife handle....I just want to explode.My disappointment in the handle allows me to give the knife no more than 2 stars. Maybe that is undeserved, since the blade itself has been good to me....I just really wish Mora would stop this. It makes me wonder...are other guys that take their knives out and use them for long periods of time, actually enjoying this handle configuration?

Je recommande clairement ce produit!Je possède environ une 30aine de couteaux, et je précise que je les utilise, ce n'est pas pour de la décoration.Plus:- Poids équilibré- Très bonne tenue en main, même mouillé, mucus de poisson ou sang de gibier- S'aiguise très facilement- Très résistant, acier de bonne qualité: frapper le couteau avec un bout de bois pour en couper un autre n'est pas un soucis- Étui très pratique: l'étui serre la base de la poignée, le couteau ne peut que très difficilement se libérer seul (jamais arrivé)- Rapport qualité/prix imbattableMoins:- Rouille rapidement, comme tous les couteaux sans traitement anti corrosion. Néanmoins je l'utilise sans soucis en milieu humide/hostile, il faut juste penser le nettoyer et le sécher en rentrantAu final c'est mon couteau passe partout, y compris pour découper de grands animaux. Je conseille d'ailleurs toute la collection MORA, connue et reconnue, que ce soit par les chasseurs/survivalistes ou autres (gros utilisateurs).J'offre régulièrement ce couteau et les retours sont excellents.Bref merci MORA.

i prodotti Mora non hanno bisogno di presentazioni...arrivano con un affilatura a rasoio e la particolare qualità dell'acciaio ne garantisce la tenuta del filo. Ottima anche la grip.

Die Qualität ist Mora typisch. Schliff (des Rückens und der Seiten) und Prägung könnten besser sein, sind für mich aber kein Abwertungsgrund. Dafür erhält man für einen niedrigen Preis ein absolut taugliches Messer. Wenn es unter der Benutzung leidet tut es mir nicht weh, auf der anderen Seite ist es für die meisten Verwendungszwecke ein sehr gutes Messer. Die Schärfe aus der Fabrik ist bereits sehr gut und der Kohlenstoffstahl hält diese Schärfe auch sehr lange.Zu beachten ist allerdings, dass diese Messer an saure Lebensmittel einen metallischen Geschmack abgeben, solange sich nicht eine gewisse Patina gebildet hat. (Einfach mal googlen) Zur Nahrungszubereitung setze ich ein anderes Messer ein und zwar ein rostfreis Mora-Messer, mit dem ich ähnlich zufrieden bin.Als letztes ist noch der Griff zu bewerten, super rutschfest, sehr angenehm in der Hand und durch die Form ist ein Abrutschen sehr unwahrscheinlich. Alles richtig gemacht. Zusammengefasst bin ich absolut zufrieden. Mehr Geld für ein Messer auszugeben sehe ich für mich persönlich als unnötig an. Dieses subjektive Limit muss allerdings jeder für sich selbst finden.

Aspect de la lame un peu trop "brossé" à mon goût. Dans l'ensemble, le couteau respire la qualité de fabrication suédoise.

Für den täglichen, tatsächlichen Einsatz bei der Jagdausübung ist das Messer bestens geeignet. Liegt gut in der Hand, auch bei blutigem Griff. Es ist sehr scharf im Lieferzustand und leicht zu schärfen. Zum Abbalgen von Raubwild ziehe ich das Messer über einen Stein, damit es nicht so scharf ist und ich den Baldg nicht versehentlich entwerte. Danach ein paar Mal über einen Sinterrubin und es ist wieder Rasiermesserscharf.Für das Auge und zum Angeben bei offizielen Anlässen trage ich ein Messer, dass 100 Mal so teuer ist, zum Arbeiten im Revier: dieses (und noch ein Haumesser) mehr braucht man nicht.
