Morakniv Garberg Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

Camping/Hiking/Survival

Very well made. Just got it but seems like it I will hold an edge.

If you love to be in the wilderness but are on a budget, this is the knife for you. If you arent on a budget, this is still the knife for you. Im not on a tight budget but I didnt want to spend 200 bucks or more on a bushcrafting knife. Be careful, this knife comes shaving sharp, sharp as a razor blade straight out of the box. This knife comes with all the must-have features you need on a bush knife. The scandi grind is great, easy to keep sharp in the field with a strop, and combined with hard steel it keeps its sharpness for a long time before it needs to be stropped. The blade being made from carbon steel allows you to use it in the bush to start fires with a piece of flint rock. The spine is ground to a 90 degree angle so you can get a great stroke on a ferrocerium rod which will produce sparks that are second to none. The full tang allows you to baton the knife without any issues. The tang also sticks out of the back of the knife giving you a great pommel, but also a second option for use on a ferrocerium rod. This is an excellent knife for the price. The sheath on the other hand is not that great. Its made well, but there are a few features its missing. For one, I wish the knife would click into the sheath so it had a good hold on the knife. Right now, if I put the knife in the sheath and turned it upside down and shook it, the knife will fall out. If you try this, make sure your feet and legs are not within the drop radius, the knife barely missed my foot when I tested the sheath like this. If you get the leather sheath or the MOLLE sheath then this is not an issue as they both include the option for a strap that goes over the handle and snaps into place. If you get the plastic sheath by itself it only includes the belt loop. They really should include both options, belt loop and over the handle strap, with the plastic sheath and not just the MOLLE sheath. If mine was supposed to include the over the handle strap then it was missing from the box. That being said, when do you really turn the sheath upside down with the knife in it and shake it? Probably not often. I didnt like the design of the leather sheath so I got the plastic sheath and will use it as a base to design my own leather sheath that I will wet form to the knife. I can make my own sheath that will hold the knife in place and keep it from falling out, and will look beautiful as well. So I think the company is able to save a bit of money by including a cheaper sheath and they seem to be passing on the savings to us, the customer. I am perfectly fine with that. I absolutely love this knife. Pros: Nice sharp blade straight out of the box, perfect scandi grind, super hard carbon steel, perfect 90 degree spine, full tang, great knife for camping, hiking, bushcrafting, etc. Cons: All sheath options are lacking in one way or the other. The leather sheath looks like it would perform perfectly, but also looks bulky and ugly, doesnt seem to be designed very well. The MOLLE sheath is really more than I need but Ive seen many reviews on it and the belt loop and the over the handle strap both wont work on the sheath at the same time without using superglue or something. The plastic sheath, the one I purchased, is missing the over the handle strap, it only includes the belt loop, and the knife doesnt hold snug inside the sheath and is prone to fall out if turned upside down and shaken, not shaken hard but lightly shaken. Again, this is not a huge deal for me as I will be making my own wet formed leather sheath and this was my plan before I ever received the knife.

I love this knife. It has taken the place of my larger bushcraft knives. Perfect for heavy and fine work.

Excellent knife, very good quality and durability for the money.

Perfect bushcrafting knife after purchasing my first one had to have 2nd one

everything

this is a must have. although the handle isnt the best, the knife itself (which is the most important part) seems to be unparalleled. can strike a ferro rod and produce sparks

Absolutely love it! Best in class bushcraft knife!

This knife is better than expected. It’s heavy and has a nice feel in your hand. I highly recommend this knife and know I will be using it for many years in the future.
