Do You Need a MORA Fixed Blade Knife? This One’s on Sale for $12.46

Mora Companion Knife Carbon Steel Green Handle

Over at Amazon, they have a new deal on this Mora Companion knife, a fixed-blade outdoors knife with 4.1″ carbon steel blade and olive green sheath and handle accents.

Update 12/13/20: Amazon dropped the price from $15 to $12.46.

Despite being aimed at outdoors enthusiasts, Mora knives are also very capable and versatile for workshop, jobsite, and around-the-home tasks.

Mora knives are phenomenally good values. The knife is made in Sweden.

Deal Price: $14.99 $12.46

This is an “okay” price; the knife has a list price of $18. I believe that $15 is really its average price, but the price did recently drop down to $15 after sitting at $18 for around 2 months.

Amazon usually has Mora Companion knives on sale in early December, but this is the only color and style featured in their new promo listing. It’s uncertain as to whether there will be any other Mora knife sales.

I’m posting about this more because it tends to be a very popular gift idea. If there’s someone on your list that you’re still shopping for, how about a made-in-Sweden fixed blade knife?

If the color scheme isn’t bright enough for you, or you want something a little smaller, consider the Mora Craftline.

Mora Knife Craftline Basic Knife Red and Black

The Mora Craftline Basic 511 features a 3.6″ high carbon steel blade and is described as being an all-around utility knife. It comes with a color-matched sheath.

The Craftline knife is a great value, even when it’s not on sale.

It’s made in Sweden and priced at ~$10. Other colors are priced a little higher.

    Bought another one to add to the 4 or 5 that I already have. The red one at $10 is just easy to throw in a toolbox.

    Great blades at a great price point. I have many of them and always buy more this time of year. Good stocking stuffers. I just wish they were full tang, but you aren’t going to get that at that price point.

    I have a few, but my favorite is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Craftline-Allround-Stainless-Combi-Sheath/dp/B0848Q36X2

    Almost identical to the craftline above but has a little more steel. I occasionally use it in wood or mdf where I might otherwise reach for a chisel or a plane. There’s both enough flat and bevel on the blade to help guide it with my thumb.

    I think based on Stuart’s recommendations – I bought a batch of Mora Eldris (short – 59mm blade) as stocking stuffers in 2017. Based on the positive feedback I got – a batch of Mora Companions were bought in 2018. I don’t think I’ll repeat this year – but they are no-nonsense really useful knives sold at a very reasonable price.

    Another Mora-made knife at a low price is the Bahco 2444

    I’ve seen this one selling for under $7 + shipping

    Their fillet knife is fantastic too. I got the 6 inch version for $22 I think. Tried it tonight and it was great. Super sharp, great handle. For the Companion, consider the stainless blade version if you need to store it in less than perfect conditions. I have the stainless blade Companions and have been happy with their sharpness/edges.

    Yep, that’s an okay price for a Companion, but these guys are a screaming bargain even at their regular prices. I’d go for a stainless steel model though. Mine gets more than sharp enough, and keeps that edge long enough for me. And obviously, it is easier to take care of than a carbon steel blade.

    The Craftline is more of a carving or whittling knife, with the handle that is designed to be comfortable in basically any position. But it will do very well for outdoors tasks too.

    If people don’t know, they both have what’s known as a Scandi grind, where the primary bevel is all there is; there is no microbevel (actually there is, out of the box, but the first sharpening will remove it if you want.) The advantage is that it is incredibly bite-y. It will not skate across a surface. It’s supposed to be the best grind for whittling and carving. Also, it’s easy to sharpen in the field with a handheld stone. You just hold the stone flat against the bevel and grind until the knife is sharp again. Of course, that takes longer than just adding a microbevel.

    I’ve heard of people putting a taper grind on one, like a chef’s knife, but it seems like a lot of work, and weakens the blade somewhat, though it might help prevent binding in stiff materials like some vegetables.

    I just noticed that the stainless steel Companion is also on sale for $12.77. I think the stainless steel version is better for most people.

      I saw today’s Mora deals and checked the price on this one just in case. It was removed from its deal page alongside the orange stainless companion, which I thought was odd.

        Oh I see, you mean the carbon steel Companion deal is over. The stainless steel Companion is still on sale, looks like.

        But even at full price, all these knives are amazing deals.
