HVK are better than Mora

[mountainm]

Been comparing my mora classic to my little hvk over the last week or so and my hultafors HVK is outperforming the mora at everything.

Sharpens easier
Holds an edge better
Cuts better

Both are Carbon steel. The hvk is even cheaper than the mora and you can get hold of em for about six quid.

Highly recommended.

Cheers

No no no. Tha can't make statements like that. You will surely be cast out an burnt on a stake

I'll go with : sharpens easily, holds a great edge and cuts/carves beautifully as I don't have a Mora to compare with,
but with a little work the sheath (which works very well) can look better too..... ...

I also wanted to compare a Gransfors axe to my Carboot axe. However I can't justify the cost of a Gransfors axe to do the comparison. Who'd pay that much money for an axe you use maybe once a year and can't carry in public?

How can you get better than flawless? My Mora Bushcraft has been literally flawless in its performance the whole time I have owned it.

I'm willing to concede that the HVK may well be flawless too - I wouldn't know since I haven't used one. But better?

The only way they could make mora better is if they released a nice special edition with a full tang and cocobolo scales

If these knives are anywhere near as good as a mora, I'll be over the moon for 4 quid each

The HVK is a good knife, no mistake, I particularly like the orange handle for visibility if you drop it in the woods. Better than the Moras? I wouldn't like to say, they're both pretty darn good in my opinion.

are these statements not contradictory;

Sharpens easier
Holds an edge better

sharpens easier suggests softer steel but holds an edge better suggests harder steel. BTW no skin in game don't favour one over the other.

I prefer the mora clipper for comfort and the blade shape.

But as for price these hultafors are great and are defo a competitor to mora.

I wouldn't say one knife is better than the other, it's preference really and what you are going to use it for.
Iv got both myself and have really put them to work, Iv achieved the same things with both knives from carving and feather sticks to battoning.

For me the clipper is the comfiest, but I know someone who finds the hultafors comfier than mora.

I find it easier to keep a sharp edge going on it..

Ive got an hultafors 'heavy duty'and although i like it i prefer the comfort of a mora.
But for £6 you cant go wrong.

My mora classic gives me blisters after a while. I have two hvk's. Both are comfy but one more than the other since it has a nice custom walnut handle by Hugo of this parish..

I find the Hultafors a bit bulky and the tiny textured pimples are horrid.
I bet the hugo handled one looks good....any piccys?

My placcy hvk has no pimples? It also has a red handle. Will try and dig a piccy out.

My favourite handle shape is that of the mora 746. If they made one with a 3 mil blade with a small choil, and no guard, I would buy 5 of them.

Definatley pimples,i probably mean 'orange peel type texture'..

[Hugo]

I agree with you mountainm, they are good knives for the money, I take a couple with me every time I'm in the woods, both re handled with walnut as I like to put my mark on my gear.
