Morakniv Companion S Stainless Steel Fixed-Blade Knife with Sheath Dala Red 4 1 Inch

These knives offer top-notch quality at a fantastic (though increasing!) price. I've owned and used these knives for years; they're my go-to for camp cooking and processing meat for the freezer. I'll start with what I like best about them: the blade. It's 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel. Now, I don't know what the heck that means, exactly, but it *sounds* good, doesn't it? What I can say with confidence is that after using them to process dozens of rabbits, elk, and deer, in addition to everyday cooking tasks, the blade can still shave my arm hair. I don't think I've sharpened them, yet. Since my attempts at sharpening knives have a 50/50 chance of leaving them worse than I started, the Morakniv's ability to sustain an edge is an absolutely outstanding feature. Second, the grip. A quick glance at the product description tells me it is made of TPE-rubber. Again, I don't know what that means. What I can say is that it feels really good in the hand, and it is one of my favorite knives to use in 'wet' conditions. Nice and grippy and soft without being squishy. It also makes it easy to wash. Third, the sheath. I don't know if the sheath is made with some fancy material or not, and I'm too lazy to look it up for you. But I can say it is a robust, well-fitting sheath that won't come off if you throw it in a bag or box that jostles around. Perfect for a knife that goes camping with you. The sheath has a sort-of belt loop thingy for wearing it, but I really don't see a scenario where I'd use this knife in that fashion. It's not really an EDC or bush knife. But it's there if you like that sort of thing. Is there a downside? Well, I wouldn't use it as the field dressing knife in my 'kill kit', for one. It's a bit big for that, and while the blade is sharp, I don't quite trust it to have the razor-sharp edge I need in my kill kit. Also, I think someone must've let it slip to Morakniv that they're making a really, really good knife at a low price point, because I've been watching prices slide upward over the years. I think the first one I bought, I paid something like $12-14. Now they're up around $20. And again, I would not consider this an everyday carry knife, though, like any sharpened piece of steel, it can do all the stabby, cutty things any other knife would do. If you're in the market for a quality knife at a great price, I don't think the Morakniv will do you wrong. Read more

First impression was "It looks cheap". But upon further inspection it is certain that it's nothing of the sort. It has a razor sharp tough blade, a tough and sticky grip rubberized handle and the hard plastic sheath is well thought out to secure the knife in it or on you belt or other fastener without a chance of falling out. I'll be mounting it in my 4x4. For the price a great knife. Read more

Want an inexpensive workhorse of a knife? Get one. Or 2 or 3. I did. One is in my truck, camping gear bag. Bug out bag. They are extremely durable and grippy. I can’t say enough good things about them. Don’t waste your money on expensive knives that are meant for abuse. Get a few and see. Read more

I like the hard plastic scabbard that comes with this knife. It fits the knife perfectly and is easy to pull out and put back in. The knife itself feels well-made and feels nice in the hand. It's definitely not the sharpest knife I've ever purchased, but I see no problems with carrying this as a camp knife to have on my belt. For the price, you can't do much better than this. Moraniv has a new fan in me! Read more

This brand of knife should be in every fishing/, hunting/, bugout/ kit. For the price and quality of the blade's steel, edge retention, and ease of care, this is a rare find that would last for many, many years of use with minimum care. It is made to use, and to last. Read more

My first Mora knife & I’m extremely satisfied! I wanted a rubber grip, sheath, & fancy steel. Fit & finish are nicely done. I’m glad the Red color is darker like Mahogany. Fully polished blade of Sandvik 13C27 stainless + lifetime warranty were the main selling points. Incredibly sharp, Perfect for all around use! Read more

This is my first Morakniv -- I'm impressed. The blade is razor-sharp and exquisitely finished; The handle has a good size/shape, and is "grippy" even with wet hands. This one will replace a Henckels for kitchen butchering tasks. The Companion (S) is my new favorite general-purpose knife. Read more
