Review on Orange Morakniv Companion Outdoor Knife - 4.1-Inch Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade For Camping And Hiking (M-11824) by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One Amazing Little Knife!

If I had to come up with just one word to describe the Mora Companion, it would be, "PERFECT!" As with all Mora knives, you can expect a lot of bang for your buck. The Companion is no exception. This is one of the most widely used outdoor knives ever made. You have seen the Mora Companion on TV shows like Alone on the History Channel. When your life depends on having a good knife, this is the one to buy.It comes razor sharp with an easy to sharpen Scandi grind on the blade. You can literally sharpen this knife with your eyes closed. The handle is a perfect size both men and women, and it has a comfortable, non-slip rubber coating. It comes shaving-sharp out of the package and holds an edge very well. The length is perfect for general outdoor use such as camping, hiking, fishing, boating, biking, etc. You can process large game, fish, birds, or most anything else in North America. It's great for cutting rope, processing wood for kindling for a fire, carving, and with a quick file to the spine, even sparking a ferro rod.I have several Mora knives including two Companions, a Garberg Carbon, an Eldris, and 3 wood carving knives. This blaze orange Companion is going into my bug out bag. When your survival is on the line, being able to see where you laid your knife down is important. This would be a great gift for an outdoorsman, hiker, or even a Boy Scout. Every vehicle glove box in America needs a Mora Companion in it. And with over 100 years of making quality knives, Mora is tough to beat.All of this in a knife that costs around $20? This may be one of the last true values in this world of ever higher prices. If you're on the fence, just go for it. You'll find yourself ordering more of them!

Pros
  • Lightweight and compact, this knife is easy to carry and won't weigh you down on your hikes or camping trips
Cons
  • The knife may be difficult to clean due to its shape and design
