Morakniv Kansbol Fixed Blade Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade

I purchased this as a more rugged and specialized knife to partner with my Morakniv companion. It was a completely unnecessary purchase, but having been thrilled with the companion I was curious about this slightly unusual knife. The sheath is a no-frills function over form item. The belt loop looks likely to hold up over time unless I deliberately go out of my way to harm it. The knife sits more deeply (about halfway up the handle) into the sheath, which initially made it tricky to draw, but with a bit of practice I don't really notice it anymore. The tradeoff for any fussiness is that is definitely well-secured, which was a priority for me. My Kansbol came razor sharp. Since it is slightly different than any knife I've used before, I was careful to make sure I knew what I was doing before I started leaning into it more. Compared to the companion: the unusual double grind on the Kansbol supports finer slicing toward the tip, and more robust work toward the handle. It works exactly as intended, and I feel like I can really get after wood near the handle or filet near the tip equally well. It's cool to have that level of confidence in the same knife. In contrast, the companion can do both of those tasks, but slightly less proficiently (for me). The companion also probably covers a lot of "middle ground" tasks between those slightly better than the Kansbol. Personally, I found the grip of the companion slightly more ergonomic (I have a big square hand with short fingers), but the texture of the grip on the Kansbol makes me feel confident in my grip. One thing I've already started to appreciate about Morakniv is that the materials are incredibly tough in such a light package. They almost feel more like toys than tools until you start putting work through them, at which point they command immediate admiration and respect. These are serious knives at great value. I was pretty much sold on Mora after the companion, and the Kansbol solidified my opinion. Bonus: I don't typically buy knives strictly for the aesthetics, but personally think it looks fairly unique and cool while being highly functional! I am aware of the current upswing in people interested in "batoning" with knives - I do not do that, so I cannot speak to it with respect to the Kansbol. I briefly researched the Kansbol versus the Garberg in that respect, but since I couldn't find a conclusive reason to upgrade to the Garberg otherwise and was more interested in what the double bevel on Kansbol could do and its very low weight, I chose it. The value for the price of the Kansbol is high. I may one day try a Garberg just because I'm now curious about Mora's product range overall. I would encourage readers to do their own research if they are interested in survival knives or the roles for each tool. Conclusion: if I were forced to bring one knife and prioritize versatility, it would be a Morakniv companion. For a high-value rugged lightweight upgrade to handle things like woodwork and slicing, the Kansbol is outstanding and is staying on my pack.

What a Great Knife! The Rubber is grippy but not too soft. Just carry a Machete or a Hatchet for chopping and Splitting Needs and let this Knife do everything else. People complain about the plastic sheath but it’s a Really good sheath with lots of options. Better to have a Smaller knife and carry it, over a large 1/4” thick tactical tank that you will hate to carry on your hip after the New Knife thrill is gone. I intended to replace my Mora Classic 3 with it but it can’t the knives are just too different. With the quality and price range of these knives you can’t miss. It weighs less than most of my Folding knives. I don’t know what else to say other then Buy it and hold on to it for a bit and you’ll see it start to grow on you. My Gf actually took it from me so I had to get something els (Garberg carbon leather sheath) I’ll be buying a few more of he Konsbol as soon as I can. It seems like a smarter choice over the companion/ spark if the extra price isn’t an issue.

Everyone should own one of these. Its a great all around, do everything knife. Its thin enough to slice at the front, thick enough at the rear to cut just about anything. Its more of an all purpose or hunters knife vs. the Garberg which is definitely much "beefier" and made for bushcrafting. Actually, I would suggest everyone own one of everything Morakniv makes, but maybe I'm just a fanboy of knives meant to be used, not to sit on a shelf to admire the craftsmanship. As an aside, I have both.

This Kansbol is an amazing camp or hiking knife. I have a companion robust that is shorter and heavier, and it is nearly impossible to break. The kansbol is lighter, longer, and far better balanced in the hand. It is as light as my crkt folder! It is less fatiguing to use as it feels more like a kitchen knife in its weight balance, and it is almost as usable as a kitchen knife in food prep and cooking. The blade is as thick as a regular companion up to about halfway, so it can do some of the bushcraft and survival techniques on a smaller scale though you do not want to hammer on the tip section. This can notch, feather stick, and carve very well. The front half can food prep and handle game well. At its regular price, it is a still a great do it all knife, but on sale, I do not think this knife has a peer as a general purpose woods knife. I would not feel bad loaning this to family or friends vs. a nice custom knife. This knife + your other favorite larger woods tool, and you can do all the camping and bushcraft very comfortably.

I am in love with this Swedish company which makes awesome knives at ridiculously low prices. I own custom fixed blade hunting knives that cost $300+ and they don't get used because these knives are just plain better. I actually use this one at my kitchen table every night for dinner because regular kitchen steak knives just suck in my opinion and this one is awesome for steaks, chops, chicken, and everything else!

I love this knife. I purchased it for the survival kit attached to the knife so I can use it on my mora garberg.I couldn't find a survival kit alone to purchase from amazon so I had no choice but to purchase this kansbol that comes with a survival kit. It has a little bit thinner blade compared to my mora garberg but this is a good knife. The survival kit that came with it is now attached to my garberg and it's a perfect fit. Now kansbol has no kit so I would probably be using it simply for food preps during camping trips. Very sharp and very good stainless steel material.

Un très bon couteau avec lame acier de chez Morakniv Très tranchant avec un manche type nid d'abeille pour une très bonne prise en main et plus léger que le modèle Garberg Ce modèle a la réputation d'être un des plus costaud de la marque et sa lame est particulièrement efficace pour tout travaux avec une émouture bien pensée pour réaliser même des travaux de précisions En résumé je recommande ce modèle qui reste un excellent compromis entre le Garberg et la version Bushcraft !

Buen material y corta a la perfección. De tamaño adecuado y muy manejable y segura

Da possessore di altri coltelli della Morakniv, ho deciso di acquistare anche questo modello per usi outdoor. Credo che la Morakniv, produca tra i migliori coltelli di questo tipo come rapporto qualità/prezzo. Questo è la rivisitazione del precedente modello Mora 2000, con a mio avviso ulteriori miglioramenti. L'acciaio è lo stesso il classico acciaio inox 12C27 super collaudato. La lama multi uso con una parte con tagliente tipo scandi grind, quindi utile per intagliare e lavorare il legno e la parte anteriore più flat e fine più utile in situazioni in cui è necessario un taglio più pulito penso al cibo, alla pesca e alla caccia. Quindi una lama molto versatile, utilizzabile anche per il cosidetto "batoning" magari in modo più leggero ,non essendo una lama full tang. La parte superiore della lama è stata volutamente lasciata con gli spigoli vivi in modo da poter essere utilizzata con l'acciarino al magnesio e per raschiare sul legno per produrre truccioli da utilizzare per accendere il fuoco. Arriva già molto affilato di fabbrica. Testato in modo veloce intagliando del legno, ma già conosco come tagliano i Morakniv e questo è solo una conferma. Impugnatura con due tipi di plastiche una principale più rigida e una sui bordi più morbida per un miglior grip. Impugnatura quindi molto confortevole io ho una mano taglia L. Hanno aggiunto un foro sulla parte finale dell'impugnatura per l'inserimento di un eventuale laccio.Coltello molto leggero. La custodia in plastica, che molti criticano ma che a me piace molto è fatta in modo da alloggiare il coltello su tutti e due i lati quindi non bisogna preoccuparsi quando lo si inserisce nella custodia stessa. Una volta inserito si sente un clic che lo mantiene bloccato e non esce nemmeno se capovolto, testato personalmente. In fondo alla custodia ci sono due fori per l'eventuale fuoriuscita di acqua...... è poi presente l'attacco della custodia per fissarla su una cintura, Basta inserire la stessa nell'anello di plastica fino a sentire uno scatto. Questo articolo infine è fornito con un ulteriore accessorio, il multimount, che consiste in una attacco in plastica nel quale inserire la custodia che viene bloccata anche dall' inserto con clip di chiusura e da velcro a strappo. Sono presenti due ulteriori strisce di velcro in modo da poter fissare il tutto su uno zaino,o dove si vuole. Ci sono anche dei fori sull'attacco che quindi può essere fissato ad un muro o a una parete, ecc.... Insomma un coltello outdoor molto versatile, utile per tutti gli utilizzi che possono servire nelle attività all'aria aperta, con un prezzo giusto. Ricordandosi sempre che stiamo maneggiando un utensile si, ma anche una "arma bianca" per la legge, quindi solo per giustificato motivo.

El mora kansbol es hasta el momento mi cuchillo preferido con doble filo, scandi y plano, el scandi para trabajos pesados como tallar un palo, hacer batoneo ligero y demás, el filo plano viene genial para desollar animales, cortar comida y hacer trabajos más finos. Viene con el lomo afilado perfecto y muy bueno para usarse con ferrocerio o sacar virutas para iniciar un fuego, la retención de filo es buenísima hasta la fecha sigo usándolo con el filo de fábrica que sigue cortando como diablo, soy de manos grandes y el mango se siente realmente cómodo y no cansa a diferencia de otros cuchillos, la funda engancha perfecto el cuchillo para evitar que se nos extravíe. Lo recomiendo completamente, seguro que ustedes igual lo amarán. :)
