Mora Pro Robust?

[bushcraftkid2001]

Anyone here used the Mora Pro Robust? How is it? Been thinking of using it as a shorter knife for more control for carving, cutting, food and game prep and some batoning, in conjunction with an axe. Would it be suitable? What is the grind like? I've heard it's a little obtuse on a blog but would like to know others opinions.

I prefer the pro C, I found it a much better slicer

That's a new one to me,

And under £12 what's not to like.

Exactly, planning on modding it a bit so don't want anything pricey!

be careful with the rubber handle its not very forgiving, damaged nine on a tight leather sheath

That's my knife! (yes, I only have one) I love it. I prefer its shorter blade, I feel I have more control.

Its always worth checking Mora prices on the Clas Ohlsson website. I think they have a 10% off offer for online sales at the moment.

Ok will do!

Thanks for the advice everyone! Will be ordering one tomorrow 😊

I recomend the 106 and 120 for carving myself great tools designed for the job.

I would suggest 1 knife will do all jobs.

I just bought a Mora Pro S. I thought about buying the Robust Pro. I wanted my knife to slice as good as possible so I opted for the more narrow blade. I am curious how the Robust Pro cuts compared to a Pro C or Pro S. I'm sure initially there wouldn't be much difference, but I wonder if after the blades begin to dull you begin to really notice the wider spine of the Robust? Just "thinking out loud"!

I'm eventually going to buy one. Honestly for me, I really like the color on the Robust. I wish Mora offered that on their other knives.

I have 2-3 of the Robusts. Got my first last year I believe. I like the overall feel with the shorter/stubbier blade. And the grip fits my XL hand well enough. I have never found the thicker bladed Mora's to slice anywhere near as well as the thin versions. But for use in light splitting of kindling it works well. Feather sticks can be trickier because the "shoulder" of the blade pushes it off the material. Hard to explain.

So far I'm not impressed with the edge retention. I'm curious if once I sharpen it a few times if I'll meet better steel, like a Fiskars axe?

I prefer the standard robust to the pro but they are both good knives. I like the older model simply because it feels better in my hand.

Clas Ohlson are discontinuing the current range, so buy quick if you want one. They are replacing them, but wouldn't tell me with what.
