Morakniv Companion Heavy Duty MG Knife

  Awesome knife, good for both splitting wood, and finer things like feather sticks.

  Instantly became my work companion. I knew exactly what I was getting and its true worth outweighs the cost by a long way.

  I bought two of these knives. One for my wife and one for myself for a bushcraft course we are attending. I've had carving knives from Frost's of Mora which were razor sharp out of the box and I've read other reviews that say the same of the Heavy Duty Companion. I guess this may depend on your definition of the word sharp. I would not have said these knives come razor sharp. However it only takes a short time at the bench stone to achieve a razor sharp edge on these knives. The steel is of good quality and the handle is a nice slip resistant rubber material which feels comfortable in the hand. The sheath is made of plastic with a clip that will slide over your belt and clip firmly into place. There's no chance of it coming off accidentally but it can be removed easily without removing your belt. The knife clips firmly into the sheath again with no chance of it falling out. The knife can be removed with one hand by pushing the little nub on the sheath with your thumb as you pull the knife with the rest of your hand. There is a drainage hole in the tip of the sheath. I looked at a lot of knives before selecting this one from prices as high as £90. I spent a long time researching and decided that in most cases all you are paying for is bells and whistles. I'm not big on bells and whistles I just like things to do what they say on the tin. In short I think if you don't mind having to sharpen it before you start (no big deal), this is a good functional knife with no fancy trimmings.

  Very great knife, brilliant blade and very sharp, great for all round use. I would highly recommend for beginners right through to the more experienced, the sheath is great also and never falls off and requires no belt.

  Arrived next day as described, have been using the knife in all weather conditions and grip is still good even when wet and the blade has a very sharp edge, sheath is very good and clips on to your trousers without a belt.would recommend to anyone doing camping or bushcraft, a great all-round knife.

  Brought two of these and tested one pretty much to destruction to know what I can really expect from it in the wilds. The blade has good balance and is fitted to an excellent non-slip handle - works well with wet hands. The plastic sheath gave excellent protection and fitted very securely to my belt. The thumb push takes a little getting used to but I’m sold on it now; I didn't experience any accidental releases. The blade holds its edge well even feathering wood. This will scuff the blade up but no big drop off in performance. It was razor sharp at tasks such as skinning and general food prep. Tried also leaving submerged in water overnight, fruit juices and weak acid on the blade with only minor tarnishing but no rust. They seem to have chosen the carbon level of the steel very well. As shipped, the blade spine will not strike a ferro rod. A few minutes work on a grinding stone sharpening up a one inch patch had sparks showering across the floor as usual. This is the perfect mate to a parang for jungle use and this will centrainly accompany my next expedition to Borneo. At that price, they also make excellent gifts for tribal chaps who help you along the way. Recommended.

  Really great bit of kit, especially for such a reasonable price. The knife fits firmly into the sheath so there is no risk of it slipping out, and the overall ergonomics mean that it is comfortable in the hand. I would definitely recommend this knife.

  An excellent knife, very comfortable, strong and sharp with a practical sheath. How they do it for the money is beyond me!

  A solid bit of kit, with a large comfortable handle, which is great when cold/wet etc. and the blade is very sturdy - worked well splitting small logs for kindling while camping in Canada. Great value as well. Carbon steel does seem to rust so it needs some TLC keeping clean and lightly oiled. But it has stayed sharp despite very hard use.
