Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife

My evaluation and experience

At the very beginning of my time in the wilderness, based on the recommendation of a dear friend, I acquired the Morakniv Companion knife. And it quickly became an indispensable part of my equipment.

For years now, I have been using it, appreciating its incomparable sharpness, the Scandi grind that makes sharpening child's play, and its versatile usability.

It is not only a faithful companion for me, but also for my children, to whom I confidently entrust it. As a perfect beginner's knife, it offers a fantastic price-performance ratio that one can imagine. In my annual program "Wildimpuls", it is even included in the starter kit.

Sometimes it can be found for as low as 12 euros, but even 15 euros is an absolute bargain for this piece of quality.

The sheath of the Mora Companion knife is really something special. Thanks to its clever design, it can be easily clipped in, which I often use to attach the knife securely to my pocket. This feature makes the knife even more practical for daily use.

The Blade

The blade measures 10.4 cm in length, providing a good balance between handling and versatility. It is about 2.5 mm thick, giving the blade stability without being bulky. The cold-rolled, stainless special steel from Sandvik guarantees long-lasting sharpness and robustness.

The overall length of the knife, including the handle, is about 21.8 cm, allowing for comfortable handling for most hand sizes.

Pro Tip

I filed the spine at a right angle (90 degrees to the blade) near the handle to use it with a fire steel. With a Light My Fire fire steel, it creates a great shower of sparks.

Furthermore, I once used paracord to tie two fisherman's knots to create an adjustable loop so I can use it as a neck knife when fishing.

The Mora Companion knife is not only sharp, robust, and reliable, but also lightweight (118 g) and fits excellently in the hand.

It is a true classic that should not be missing from any outdoor equipment. It delivers on its promises, carving, splitting, and safely guiding one through any outdoor activity. Investing in this knife is always worth it - Morakniv as a knife manufacturer proves that high quality does not have to be expensive.
