----- --- 2552010 Knife general thread, knives actually made for use in the outdoors edition. Office workers who've only ever cut cardboard/paper need not apply --- 2552024 BPS Adventurer. Great knife, and because they are made in Ukraine I suspect they are being subsidized for export so they are available far cheaper than they should be. For $40 you get a quality knife, very quality sheath, and ferro rod. --- 2552029 >>2552024 Looks nice, though the stand with ukraine shit on their site is gay and their use of 1066 instead of something similar to 1095 is questionable on their smaller fixed blades --- 2552038 >>2552029 Never been to their website, bought off Amazon cheap and will do so until Wagner storms their factory and loots all the goods. >their use of 1066 instead of something similar to 1095 is questionable I mean sure, but I doubt any human being would be able to tell a 1060 knife from 1095 knife after a day of slicing wood or whatever. 10XX steel doesn't matter on a bush knife, it matters on a chef knife or a thin sword. --- 2552042 >>2552038 The main difference is in toughness and edge retention. And while you can't really tell the toughness of a knife until you eventually break it, the difference between edge retention becomes apparent when you use em for a bit. Even with 1075 you'll find yourself having to touch up the edge more often than 1095, and while that's a worthwhile trade-off when it comes to larger knives, it's wasted on smaller ones >10XX steel doesn't matter on a bush knife, it matters on a chef knife or a thin sword. How exactly? Also who uses 10 series carbon steels for kitchen knives? --- 2552047 >>2552010 (OP) --- 2552049 >>2552010 (OP) https://youtu.be/YYC9xrOsQj0 [Embed] https://youtu.be/ehjbNLy387k [Embed] mandatory viewing for all the tryhards out there --- 2552055 >>2552049 https://youtu.be/uvlmsH0IFT4 [Embed] --- 2552056 Fucking hate how big the handles are on Mora's. I returned like 3 of them. For me? It's the Buck 110 and Gerber Asada, and pic related for actual/out/ activity --- 2552057 >>2552010 (OP) Ask me how I know you use the wrong tool for the job, for everything --- 2552059 >>2552057 Are you one of those types that avoids using knives at any cost just to prove a point? --- 2552062 >>2552056 >Fucking hate how big the handles are on Mora's. I returned like 3 of them. Really? I find em quite comfy, and I wear medium sized gloves. Plus them being a little oversized is a good thing for when you use em with thick gloves on. To each their own though, no problem with not being a fan of budget swedish knives --- 2552088 >>2552056 >For me? It's the Buick Lesabre and Carne Asada, and pic related for actual/out/ activity what is the blurry pic related? did it come in a box of swiss miss --- 2552131 >>2552056 Tiny hands typed this post --- 2552132 Does Mora still make the model with the ferro rod in the handle? or has it been discontinued --- 2552133 >>2552056 >Fucking hate how big the handles are on Mora's >For me? It's the Buck 110 Pretty much the same size handle lmao --- 2552170 >>2552056 got a victorinox forester, basically the same thing - absolutely love it for an outdoors knife. can't say i've ever had an issue with the handle size on moras, fits my medium hands absolutely fine and probably more comfortable than most other knives. got a bk10 as well, works well as a knife but i'm not sure about the handles and the sheath isn't great but strapped onto a pack it's not a huge deal. --- 2552175 >>2552170 I've got a kydex sheath and micarta handles on mine. It's worth it if you use it a lot. You can get them on Amazon. They have g10 handles as well. --- 2552216 my gf got me this for christmas --- 2552221 i don't know much about outdoors but it's great tool for blue-collar workers, will buy more in the future --- 2552222 >>2552221 why would you ever use one of those instead of a utility knife in blue collar work? --- 2552223 >>2552221 You should have at least 17 Mora Companionas --- 2552226 >>2552222 i still use utility knives or light tasks, thankfully i don't live in pansy country where people would get arrested for carrying bigger blade --- 2552227 >>2552222 Not all work is amazon cardboard boxes --- 2552232 >>2552227 Well aware, unfortunate tradie here. --- 2552261 Leatherman Skeletool is all you need --- 2552264 >>2552261 Quite literally one of the worst leathermans to date, basically any other option from them would be better suited to outdoors use --- 2552284 >>2552010 (OP) Grohmann #2 "Bird and Trout" Stainless steel, Canadian made! --- 2552346 I like Moras, they're all over the place here.

That is all. Goodbye. --- 2552768 One these has been my pocket knife for 20 years --- 2552816 >>2552221 What the hell happened to the handles? I understand it being dirty/damaged to a degree (especially in a construction site), but some of those look genuinely chewed up --- 2552824 >>2552010 (OP) how are winkler knives? --- 2552969 >>2552010 (OP) This beautiful thing just arrived. Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110. --- 2552984 >>2552816 Maybe he was pretending to be a pirate, climbing the rigging to tell Peter Pan that he doesn't really go /out/ --- 2553077 >>2552748 yes --- 2553090 >>2552042 Toughness is defined in ASTM D5801-12. The main contributors to Toughness are material type and annealing method. Edge retention is mostly a byproduct of hardness--ASTM E18-22. Both toughness and hardness should be consistent by manufacturer--zero guess work. Fun fact--most knife manufacturers use what is cheap and easy to make not what is best... for example you don't see a lot of stainless knifes from custom knife makers because it is much harder to work with and the annealing is more difficult--not because it isn't superior to carbon steel. The carbon steel my persists because it is easier for noobs to sharpen. --- 2553093 >>2553090 my bad Stainless > carbon There is another MUCH more expensive method to manufacture stainless using an atomization process but I can't remember the process name. --- 2553095 >>2553093 Powder metallurgy? --- 2553198 >>2552452 Honesty, not to sound like a fluff, but it is so comfy, and ergonomic. Lots of different holdings. My buddy who is an avid moose hunter says it would would lovely on moose. I've just use her on trout... hopefully rabbit (hare) and grouse soon. --- 2553237 >>2552824 expensive but from what i've seen breddy gud --- 2553249 >>2552768 Based, I just recently gave that same model to my friend --- 2553263 >>2552969 do you like it? I'm torn between the 140 and the 110. I've heard they feel a little flimsy --- 2553338 >>2553263 I literally just got it, but for now it feels really good at hand. >140 and the 110 I had this doubt too, no regrets until now. I guess the 140 would feel clumsier with the blade length. >flimsy Definitely not, it seems really sturdy for now. But again, I'll only have an actual opinion as soon as I take it /out/ with me. --- 2553350 >>2552969 Based trash enjoyer --- 2553363 >>2553350 Why trash? --- 2553380 >>2553198 i picked it up today, feels nice in the hand but looks nothing fancy. definitely made to be used. my gf remarked it looked like an old timey letter opener haha --- 2553389 >>2553363 Because Varusteleka is the top retailer, and they gargle Zelensky's balls. --- 2553402 >>2553389 Yeah, I don't care. It doesn't affect the product. I wouldn't remain from buying something good because of politics. --- 2553501 >>2552222 Because you have a really, really small dick --- 2553507 >>2553501 /lgbt --- 2553538 >>2552038 from a practical view point, the 1066 is tougher than 1095, heat treated to the same hardness the 1066 will bend where the 1095 would break, though the 1095 will hold an edge longer than the 1066, both are practical steels and easy to sharpen in the field should it become necessary. For the money it's a fine knife. --- 2553545 >>2552222 I use the small Esee instead of the box cutter because the sheath is less noticeable on my belt, no folding or opening like a utility knife, and it takes a good edge and holds it for awhile while box cutters are super super sharp and will slice the tip of your finger off before they’re completely dull and useless 5min later. Esee also makes a decent small pry bar or spudger when needed and box cutters snap. --- 2553559 >>2553507 Indeed, if you need a large blade to open boxes... You probably belong there. --- 2553560 >>2553545 It's still just a compensation for a tiny penis. --- 2553580 >>2553380 Yeah, grohmann's are a true woodman's knife; known as the canadian belt knife. The 2 does have a old timey letter opener vibe though haha I'll have to use mine on that, along with the trout! Hope you enjoy her! --- 2553582 >>2553560 The tiny knife that is smaller than the box cutter? --- 2553739 >>2553582 What you have to realize, is just how small that guys dick really is. It's basically a clitoris with a urethra routed through it. I took the ESEE pill, since you liked it so much, but I found the candiru just a bit too small. I basically use the Izula or a spyderco, depending on if I'm at work or not. (I work in the federal govt and the spyderco is less likely to get me questioned, since it's less visible stowed.) --- 2553741 >>2553739 >works for the fed >is obsessed with dicks checks out --- 2553792 Anyone have a brisa nessmuk? How do you like it? --- 2553802 >>2553582 Yes, you sexually inadequate man child. LMAO --- 2553844 >>2553792 i have one, its WAY too thick for that blade shape, if it was half as thick it would be greatly improved --- 2555184 >>2552010 (OP) What's a good, EDC knife? Mainly for traveling and some light outdoor work. Should come with a sheet. Eyeing some Morakniv on Amazon rn. --- 2555910 >>2555184 See >>2553739 >>2553545 >>2553739 Also I use the Candiru because I’m working around normies all day and the thing hides in the palm of my hand. If it were a straight up fishing knoife, I would carry something like the Esee 3 or 5 or whatever smaller than Rambo knoife. >Spyderco Every one of those I see must be some factory seconds because they have a big hole in the blade. --- 2556346 Knoif's 'n sheet. --- 2556786 >>2552010 (OP) Spooky, those are both of my primary knives. The Buck knife was probably the best purchase I've ever made in terms of knives. That was over a decade ago. --- 2556793 >>2556786 I'm thinking about getting a buck; I like the concept of the 102 for small game, but the 119 seems neat. What do you use it for, anon? --- 2556795 >>2556793 >What do you use it for Everything up to an including opening cans. It's never lost an edge. It's pretty fucking amazing. --- 2556827 >>2556795 Sweet. I kinda want one... even just for the meme. Thanks anon! --- 2556828 >>2552010 (OP) >>2556786 >>2556793 Fun fact, the official Danish scout knife, is pretty much a copy of the Buck, a little shorter, without the fuller or more "combat knife type guard" and a slightly thinner blade, its called a Vangedal if anyone would be interested in that grandpa had one, mom had one, now i have all of them, good times they do have this weird thing, where there is a rifle stud on the belt loop, that goes into the handle, on the other side of the snap you can see in the front on some models --- 2556832 >>2556828 Thanks, brudder! They actually seem awesome. Aesthetic and functional. I'll check them out for sure. Thanks for the tip! --- 2556837 >>2556832 look into their Senior models, or the Rover but im pretty sure they are unobtainium outside Denmark, here you can see the hole the stud in the sheath fits into, never seen that on any other knife, also, they are intentionally made with pretty poor "quality" leather, not that its even close to bad, but its leather that is meant for you to treat it, leather fat, leather fat, leather fat, until it goes naturally brown unlike many modern dyed leather sheaths, which is kinda refreshing, this makes me wanna buy a new one too and actually take care of it! --- 2556840 >>2556837 Ah, yeah and I'm I'm Canada, the land of...yeah. You never know, anon; I have cousins in Denmark, I've been meaning to visit for a long time. --- 2556847 >>2556840 >I'm I'm Canada >I've been meaning to visit for a long time. please do, we have unironically nice places here, old towns, gently rolling roads, our forrests are probably the size of a small back yard in Canada, but if you can rent a boat and travels the coast? 10/10 ive been wanting to go to Canada too for a long time, but if i was to do it, the travel time, would have to be less then the time actually spent there. really want a Grohmann Knives Trout and Bird Knife, think it would be amazinf for perch and pike --- 2556858 >>2552010 (OP) --- 2556884 >>2556877 the scouts here are a religious orginization, Christian, INRI.

Ordered a Condor Yoshimo, Trilby, and container of hot cheeto dust --- 2557360 >>2556847 Yeah, I live in Newfoundland, but I've got cousins that grew up in Denmark! Ever since I was a wee lad, I wanted to visit. I almost did back around 2015/16 but the Islamic Terror in Europe attacks freaked me out... No word of a lie, my buddy, I have the grohmann #2 bird and trout! She is such an ergonomic knife. I have her stainless with the sabre grind. I use on trout, but would love to get her on rabbit (hare), and grouse. Stay tuned! --- 2557366 >>2557226 >downsized from 88mb --- 2557485 mora companion vs mora companion HD. is one the obvious choice over the other? or is it preference, etc.? --- 2557498 >>2557218 Yes, it just looks nice. Can you process an animal with? Then it's good. --- 2557591 >>2557485 I own both in carbon and stainless. From left to right: HD stainless, HD carbon, standard stainless, and standard carbon. For me, HD moras are the obvious choice, mainly due to the slightly more obtuse edge grind. I've had problems with the standard mora rolling its edge during fairly normal "bushcraft" use. The standard mora has a 22-degree edge, whereas the HD mora has a 27-degree edge, making it more robust. If you live in a wet climate, I'd recommend the HD in stainless steel; if you live in a dry climate, I'd recommend the HD in carbon steel because rust will not be an issue. Plus, the carbon steel version is easier to sharpen. I live in a wet climate, so my pick is the HD in stainless. Great knoife. --- 2557707 How much of a meme are these survival knives for someone who only goes outdoors every few months? Just a better than nothing tool that I can keep in the car or throw in the pack. --- 2557754 >>2557707 Ultimately it's all whatever. Just don't baton cheaper stuff unless there is info saying otherwise. Serrated edges can both help and hurt. Not great for rope/string cutting. --- 2557772 >>2557707 >wow, it even has a hole So does my wife, but you don't see me dragging her into the woods --- 2557782 >>2552221 Kek, got the same ones in the extact same state One is partially burnt i don't even remember why --- 2557811 >>2557218 Depends on who is making it. Actual Damascus is not being made anymore. --- 2557896 >>2557707 avoid serrations at all costs, absolute meme for 99% of /out/ activities --- 2557911 >>2557896 I agree with this. For a military knife, yes, serrations may be useful. But not for a /out/ knife. --- 2557943 >>2552969 140 checking in. Zero complaints for the price. I think I got mine for ~$70 shipped to the US a few years ago. >I've heard they feel a little flimsy Not even close.

Big enough as a general tool and cooking utility? --- 2558912 >>2558840 It's perfect for food prep and small knife tasks. I usually pair it with that Condor kukri or one of my large fixed blades. --- 2558923 >>2558912 should think it would be a great little carving knife, for spoons and such, didnt they recently release a version that is just straight scandi-grind instead of the retarded double grind --- 2558949 >>2558923 Not sure, but I like the dual grind. Front is very slicey (tomatoes, peel apples etc) and the back end bites into wood nicely (obviously since it is classic Scandi). No hot spots in the handle at all. Well worth the ~$30 The Cold Steel Pocket Bushman is also a great, lightweight beast that should be in everyones pack. --- 2558953 >>2558949 >I like the dual grind ive just been using Mora´s for 28+ years, so when they suddently change things like that i hate it out of principal --- 2558954 So I guess full tang is the consensus? --- 2558957 >>2558954 depends on use case, steel, handle material and how much you watch youtube what do you want you knife to do Anon? >batonny chop chop? yeah sure >kitchen duty? not necessary at all >stabbing bad guys Rambo style survive the appocalypse? sure >normal sane person knife tasks? nah --- 2558971 >>2558954 I just don't see the reason to go for folding. There's really nothing I'm going to use it for that I wouldn't use the big knife for and I want my big knife to be full tang. --- 2558973 >>2558658 the sleek profile of the #2 and #3 are quite nice. would like to have one (or 3) with stag horn handle. hope you have a good quality strop to keep that cutting edge razor sharp! >>2558659 >>2558651 --- 2559020 >>2558957 Full tang on a kitchen/butcher knife is actually very important. Probably more important than an /out/ knife unless you're doing stupid stuff with it. --- 2559022 >>2559020 Not him, but that's a NO from me --- 2559023 >>2559020 A chopping cleaver, yes --- 2559024 >>2558597 >>2558658 I have the #4 survival. Good knife, beautiful and feels good in the hand. But I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed in the cheaper carbon steel that it's made with. It doesn't hold a great edge. It stays sharp with minimal maintenance, but the razor sharp edge you get after a strop vanishes almost immediately upon using it. It also rusts very easily so you need to keep it oiled at all times. I have also had pic related in my pocket for the past two years and it has never let me down. Their stainless steel seems better than their carbon steel. --- 2559025 >>2559023 No, even just a regular butcher knife. My girlfriend is a chef and she has broken knives just doing basic chef work on more than one occasion. Cutting through things like squash and yams can do a number on a cheaper knife. --- 2559037 >>2559024 Was originally going to get a Mora Garberg because of its full tang and 14C28N steel but once I discovered the Grohmamns I was already sold. I digress. That's the price we pay for having hollow grinds compared to other cutting edge geometries. This is why people end up with huge knife collections. Nice folder anon, stay sharp out there. --- 2559040 >>2559037 God damnit. After posting that pic I bought the mora anyway. I will never financially recover from this --- 2559045 >>2556828 I really like that sheath --- 2559047 >>2552010 (OP) --- 2559050 How does /out/ like my Camillus US Army utility knife from the 80s?

They also do the BladeMedic which (while a pull-through) is good in a pinch and light enough to be packable. --- 2564031 >>2552010 (OP) I just use this old rough rider it gets the job done good elephant toe knife. --- 2564038 >>2562541 I like E a lot >>2552056 Why are people hating on buck? --- 2564070 >>2556837 >the star --- 2564119 >>2562303 >brass knuckles Going to beat up bears with your bear hand? --- 2564181 >>2564119 I mean, if I was to die from a bear attack, I would want it said that I went down beating it bloody with a pair of knuckles. --- 2564201 >>2564181 Get it fren? Bear hand? do you understand the reference I am making? --- 2565016 >>2552969 It's a great knife! I would actually recommend this knife and the others in the same lineup over the moras. Extremely sturdy knifes mate. good choice! --- 2565020 TRC Apocalpyse Virus Edition. --- 2565166 new mora ordered my second today --- 2565174 >>2565166 why would you buy a mora for that much money? The whole point of a mora is that it's decent quality and CHEAP. If you have money to burn on nice knives that you don't really need there are way better options. --- 2565198 >>2565174 >paying 240 euros for a recycled 3 inch knife bro what are you doing --- 2565564 I use OPs mora every day in the garden because I'm a professional garden. Water proof handle is very good also when steralizing blade, sheath very good, knife cheap enough to replace as needed without asstears. Buy orange colour so not losing knife. No sitting on camouflage knife --- 2565567 >>2565166 Anon. You've bought a knife that's been rehandled with wood and paid more for it than my boots are worth. For what purpose? Cardboard cutting? Morakniv is like jhonny Walter whiskey, trying to buy the more expensive one is a scam. Cringe acting --- 2565719 >>2565564 >Buy orange colour so not losing knife. This is good advice. I have the green one and after about two trips out I had to put blaze orange tape on the scabbard. --- 2565733 >>2565681 get a Surge --- 2565744 >>2565564 >I'm a professional garden. --- 2565815 >>2552056 Moraknivs är made för big NVRDIC hands --- 2565841 >>2565744 >It is better to be a garden in a warrior than a war in a gardener --- 2565849 Finlang Making SA28 and BOЛК Cтaль. Chinkshit but does the job --- 2565911 >>2565567 you never will slice a summer sausage with a quality knife. stay mad. --- 2566103 When you spend this fucking long to create a non functional arrowhead from stone. Cavemen how did you do it? --- 2566106 >>2566103 use stone type who is arrow head --- 2566114 >>2566106 English? --- 2566125 >>2562541 A or U are the most versatile in your collection. picrel: all you will ever need. The Ranger skinner is also an amazing herbalist knife and is perfect for cleaning Dungeness crab and fiash (only idiots don't take the organs out of crab before cooking). --- 2566127 >>2564011 113 > everything else --- 2566141 >>2564038 Because most of their blade designs aren't practical and they use a lower grade steel. You also are paying for the brand name and the mystique. They're like ford--most of there products are boomer crap but there are some absolute gems if you know what to look for. --- 2566143 >>2566125 >your collection That's from the Randall Custom Shop ordering page. --- 2566154 >>2553095 That sounds right, I know the manufacturering process involes vacuum inert gas atomization. It can be forged, not just used as a coating. I see it in high end kitchen knives. --- 2566156 Does anyone know why Whitby stopped selling via Amazon? --- 2566160 >>2566143 Ok, Randal. --- 2566166 >>2564011 >Folder, opened, in a fixed blade sheeth >Handle strap prevents closing the blade ...what is wrong with you --- 2566174 >>2566114 brain? --- 2566183 >>2558954 If your using it to gut creatures to cook get a full tang. Folders are shit for processing meat because they get Offal in the folding part and are hard to clean. Folder handels also suck, ergonomically, compared to folders (especially for skinning knives). Full tang blades are also usually thicker and can take more abuse. --- 2566186 >>2566183 >*fixed blade handle > folder handle --- 2566188 >>2566166 I sewed the sheeth myself. Also I literally say why i made the leather strap on handle. Grip --- 2566190 >>2566127 Yeah but it's hard to find in stores and you can't get knives mailed to PO box iirc --- 2566191 >>2565564 >Garden knife Mora isn't a garden knife: this is a garden knife for master gardeners. --- 2566194 >>2566188 that's not the point >>2566190 Any store that is a Buck dealer can get one on order for you. Knife center will ship internationally and to PO boxes. --- 2566198 >>2566188 Why didn't you just get a fixed blade knife in the first place? --- 2566205 >>2566191 very funny --- 2566211 >>2566205 Its quite sharp though hard to sharpen. Opens boxes and cuts chord; roots; branches and dirt, I'm sure you can batton with it but why. --- 2566214 >>2566198 Because I like buck 110 --- 2566215 >>2566214 To clarify, it's small but heavy-ish for its size --- 2566217 Plus you can just buy another knife if for some reason you need full tang To redirect the bullying, why are half the knives posted shown on clean wood background? Do you guys walk around your toolshop with your gear? --- 2566220 >>2566217 Don't you blankyshame us because we live in wooden boxes. --- 2566230 >>2566217 >dirty AF >folder with wrapped handle gr8 b8 --- 2566237 >>2552010 (OP) Does anything whittle like a mora? It must be the skandi grind bc I've never had another knife come close --- 2566308 >>2566237 >Mora You set a very low bar. >Scandi grind I see you never made it past beginner level. --- 2566356 >>2566308 >shits on proven brand despite anon's personal experiece with it >makes baseless assumptions about anon's level of experience Checks out.

From harvesting herbs and mushrooms to gutting animals: non idiots field clean their shit before sheathing it and finish cleaning it when they get home. >>2566356 >Defending Mora and the sharpening metal developed for shit metals. I remember when I was 12. Its a good knife to learn how to sharpen... for kids.

I mean look at the rest of the pic. This is how I schizo flex --- 2566412 >>2566381 So you're just trolling, then. Got it. --- 2566641 >>2566412 >Gets called out for being retarded >nooo, you're just a troll Whatever you need to tell yourself to make it through the day. --- 2566705 >>2566641 >continues to avoid posting a better knife Yep --- 2567245 recently bought a "used" (basically new) Ganzo on ebay. very nice and smooth, opening and closing feels quite satisfying --- 2567256 >>2565166 oof
