Review on Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife - 4.1-Inch Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade, Military Green by Charles Woods

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These Are Great Knives, I Got A Lot More For My $ Than I Expected!

if anyone is looking for that one and done knife i'm sorry to say that's not going to happen. I have lots of knives, low end and custom made. Each has its own purpose, strengths and weakness. I have the "Craftline" model made by Morakniv, it is very, very sharp, not very robust and will fall out of its sheath easily without the added keeper I applied. For the lowly sum of $8 and change I expect that. This knife is only around $19. The handle is very ergonomic and has a little sticky feel to it which is nice in a way, and it fits my big hand very well. It arrived fairly sharp, it is light in weight. it really snaps tight and snug in its sheath. It stays put in it better than almost any other fixed blade I own with leather or cloth type sheath. No, it did not come "Razor Sharp" and I do not care as I hand sharpen every knife I purchase regardless of its "Pedigree" to my standards. I spent 20+ years in the military and was in the field the day I returned for home, and I would have loved to have had this blade as one of my back ups throughout my service. It is light weight, easy to sharpen, it is now razor sharp, it can clean game and fish easily and can be used for light camp duties. If I were in the field and my life depended on this blade I would choose it over many others that I have owned over the years. However, do not expect it to do any heavy lifting ie splitting logs, chopping down trees, etc. It will cut cord, clean game, cut some tinder, cut boxes and tape, etc. I take care of my knives but I ordered the stainless steel model for its ease of care, ease of sharpening, its overall shape and its size and it having a less brittle blade as its carbon counter-parts. Here's a hint. I don't buy garbage and I do not waste my $, I am buying several more of these for Christmas Presents.

Pros
  • A protective sheath is included for safe transport and storage of the knife
Cons
  • The knife is not suitable for heavy-duty cooking tasks
