Good review John

Must confess I normally discount anything without a full tang for a survival knife, but after your review and the fact that you used it for heavy work like batoning without breaking it may just have swayed me.

My son is on the look out for another knife after using a basic mora for a couple of years and this looks like a real possibility, especially as they sell for around £55.

hi there
Nice review. I wish they had done a version of this knife with the Triflex, rather than the Force... I'd certainly have got one...
Or if they sold the new sheath separately???
Cheers
Gareth

I have seen the firesteels for sale individually at ragweedforge.com Good review, thanks a million!

Excellent review John, many thanks for the informed opinion....... I so wanted to poo poo this 'gimmicky' knife but admit I am growing pretty fond of it!!!

 

[kimbo]

One thing I might add is a little strip of leather glued to other side of the sheath and a little honing compound. Perhaps then you could maintain an edge a little easier?

 

[luckylee]

all sorted now, thanks to the main man himself, thanks again tony it is apreciated bud.
and thanks john for a great review was able to read after it was sorted.
take care.
lee.

I use my belt for that

Excellent review John, though whilst I like Moras, I'm yet to be disappointed by my £11.50 one

 

[jeffz]

Hm. Not sure it's *that* much better than the Clipper (£8.50)... I baton with mine regularly, and it's holding up fine. Or the Cold Steel Bushman, which is tough as old boots.And I don't like those plastic sheaths; mine's in a leather sheath. I can move more freely with that on, as the belt-loop's more generous.

 

[gliderrider]

I've gotta say I love my Moras, Just bought a nice leather sheath from moonraker knives(with the addition of a press stud closer & Tab over the handle). I prefer stuff like a fire steel or sharpning stone being in other belt pouches, I use a few Vyper Pistol Mag pouches & arktis FFD pouch for things I'll use often, but I want kept securely. As I'm paranoid about losing things.

 

[plastic-ninja]

Can't help but love your reviews , John.Comprehensive and objective are the signs of the truly inquisitive mind.Keep it up and keep them coming.Sooner or later your review will coincide with my perceived need.In the meantime I'm enjoying reading and still use the knife I bought from you all the time.Cheers , Simon

Great review John! Last year when me and my friends was testing this knife we all agread that the problem with the sheath is the plastic clip that holds the interchangeable belt loop in place, it breaks when you put to much stress on it like taking the belt loop on/off or if it gets caught in twigs and branches when you are walking. So i am wondering if they have fixed this? Could you be so kind to test it for a longer time? Because the knife and the rest of the sheath is close to perfect except that tiny thing.

I am using it on a regular basis - nothing more to add yet

Hi,
Can anybody tell me:
what is the difference between the knives themselves of : Mora "Bushcraft Forest" and Mora "Bushcraft Survival" (apart from the fact that the Survival sheath has the additional firesteel, diamondsharpener and backedge of the knife designated for sparking the firesteel <-> Forest has a round backedge).
As far as I can see the Bushcraft "Forest" and "Survival" are further exactly the same knives ? Same steel Sandvik 12C27, handle, dimensions, edge etc. or am I missing something ?
Their website is not so clear on this: they mention both the Survival and Forest next to eachother but they do not say that apart from the difference in backedges if there are any further differences.
