Outstanding knife. I bought this knife (in 'military green') because the high carbon blade is better at throwing sparks. Unfortunately, even in CO doing really limited work with food prep and giving it a rinse and dry, it started to show corrosion. If I had oil with me all that time that'd be fine, but it isn't something I want to deal with so I returned it in favor of the 546 Craftline S Pro with the stainless blade. The advantages (for about $4 more) is that you get the corrosion resistance PLUS a rubber over plastic grip for portions of the handle which radically improve grip. Mine looks just like the one you had, with the blue insert on the black handle. Absolutely spectacular, and they'll make nice inexpensive but incredibly useful (and appreciated) gifts for friends.

Tenho duas são as melhores que já vi.

As far as showering goes do you just shower in the river? @montanajeff

Modern Sorel is nonsense compared to those shoes that Kaufman made in Canada.

Hey Jeff, Thanks for sharing that - great review. I love my Spyderco Shaman - including the black factory G10 scales, so I never thought of changing them out, but those Desert Ironwood scales you put on look so cool! I think wooden handle scales on a Shaman are even cooler because of the smooth, contoured edges and the relatively large size of the scales all serve to really show off the natural beauty of the wood. Not sure if you know or not (you probably do), but Ironwood is a very dense, hardwood that makes great handle scales for knives because it's so durable. I was also thinking, one reason a lot of people don't get wooden hand scales is because they can sometimes warp, crack, etc., but I like the way you did it to buy them aftermarket, because - even if something happens to the wood ones, you can just put back on the original G10's which are still very cool, so win-win! By the way, I just subscribed to your channel, so I'm not sure if you actually live in Montana, but some of my best childhood memories are from our summer vacations up to the "Big Sky Country". What a beautiful state! My dad was born and raised in Montana for several years (until his family couldn't take the winters anymore and they moved south!), so he knew all the best places to take us backpacking and fishing. If you do live up there, consider yourself blessed! 🙂👍 Take care bro! Steve Bates

Don't forget to bring as much firewood as you can

Trout fishing is pretty easy in Montana. Just find a blue line on the map.

Pure Chinese garbage. Feet got cold after 25 minutes and stayed cold the whole day. Dont waste your money.

It is popular not because it is cheap but because it is quality

If you are still carrying this knife, I'd love to see and hear what it looks like and what you think about ti 4 years later

In Sweden it is considered a worker's knife. 99.99% of these type of knives (includes other brands such as Hultafors, Bahco etc) are never resharpened. They are discarded when dull.

I can back this video too, i have a mora basic, and i also have more expensive marttiini knives, both brands are incredible, and all you need to keep them razor sharp, is a strop and stropping compound, scandi grind knives are the best, and for food prep a cheap opinel no8, its all you will ever need, i just buy all other knives because its a great hobby 😊

Looks like no more pit toilets starting in 2024. Have to provide for a method to pack out all waste.

I need this Thimahawk. It’s not available for sale anymore. Any ideas what happened to Tim and his Thimahawks?

My wife recently bought one of these for teaching kids crafts at forest school. I had never heard of Morakniv but I was really impressed with the blade. Then she told me the price and my jaw dropped! Must get one for myself!

It's not a liner lock it's a compression lock

Where did you go?

i have a companion and just love it... i like the basic gonna have to get a couple.thanx great review new sub

Persian style is more exact. It’s been around here before Iron age actually. Thanks for beautiful useful video and happy to see a great western performing this piece of art. Going to save up

what ever were the results of the thermos hot and cold?

You giving bad information when you say G10 is not quality. G10 is extremely durable. It does not show wear. It is not plastic. Aluminum looks nice but it shows wear. You have the option of upgrading the scales to carbon fiber, micarta, and titanium. But for an average price of 150.00 G10 is an awesome handle material. My biggest gripe are all the holes in the scales for the clip placement. I prefer to not have extra holes in my scales so I change the scales on mine

Any chance you wanna be a rower for our group May 24-28th ? We are going with an awesome fun group , but are lacking one rower . You’d have a blast , and eat like a king

They still make the Stimulus.

Do you know if I was only able to do a two or three day trip? Could I have my Shuttle brought to heaven on earth? And then drive home from there?

Excellent EDC knife, but after a few small modifications it is perfect! I put a deep pocket clip, a little Loctite must be put on the pivot screw and I put a new edge on the blade. It arrived at 17 degrees, but because the factory grinds with machines, the heat destroys the metal, making it prone to damage. Now that I completely removed that metal and put a new edge (20 degrees), there is no micro chipping after I cut the cardboard and processed the wood and it stays sharp for a very long time. And I just maintain the edge with ceramic stone

What was your experience with collecting firewood at the campsites?

Just got my draw results- super helpful!

I work in a garden center and carry a mora as my primary knife. Everything is right about it, including the price and weight. SS version to prevent rust because I often work in wet conditions so that helps. And it sharpens up easily. Cutting cordage, some wood, sticks, small branches, pruning, root cutter, digging up weeds. If I lost it I would easily just replace it with another copy. The sheath also doesn't rattle, Which is nice.

Jeff, thanks for taking the time to make these vids and to share your knowledge. I'm planning my first fly fishing trip west from the Northeast this year for my 60th and your vids gave me the info and foundation to begin my planning. I just subbed, looking forward to exploring your channel ...thanks again, perhaps I'll see you on the water sir!

Мора -шикарные ножи делает. Я ношу в лес 511.Она хорошо справляется с древесиной и продуктами .Замечательная стойкая режущая кромка

I know Sorel had a lot of problems with these boots when they were no longer made in Canada. I still have my Canadian Sorel boots from the late 70's. I bought a second pair of Sorel's on eBay this year that were from the 80's(never used) and were the Canadian made ones for around 70 dollars. Surprisingly, I checked the link Montana Jeff has for these boots on Amazon and they are rated 4.7 with thousands of purchasers. These new Sorels are made in Vietnam and perhaps they have worked out the problems with the rubber cracking and the boots leaking. Like Rachelle Walters mentioned below, I too am from Northern Idaho and have been here since the early 60's and the Canadian Sorels(these boots actually say handcrafted in Canada) have been great!! I put beeswax on them at the beginning of every winter and never have a leak and my feet stay warm. My boots just don't look as new as Montana Jeff's.

I was a diver , I wanted a knife that was sharp and cheaper so I wouldn’t mind taking it in salt water and possibly lose it , bought a mora , I was definitely impressed, I got two SS and Carbon , blued the carbon w/vinegar, keep in in my everyday carry backpack, just in case I need a sharp knife

Where do I get a blue and black 511? I have never seen one.

I just ordered 5 mora basic knives. One for me, the others for family and friends.

Persian style blade🥴

Steve grew up in Michigan, he moved to Montana a couple different times and it’s his current state of residence.

Para 3 is a damn hard knife to beat for a daily user... I wish they wouldn't have moved over to S45vn for the normal production models spyderco really killed it with their S30v, the s45vn is good to but s30v takes such a toothy aggressive edge that just cuts so well.

Man did you ever make a good investment. These Rinella editions have been going on eBay for $1000-1200. Now they re-released it with all the same specs but not the Rinella edition at $270.

My launch 2 says “auto” on top of “kershaw” on the blade like yours however my button is red. But I’ve also see the launch 2 where “kershaw” on top of “auto” on the blade. So there’s a few different ones I guess?

I got mine years ago and it’s still holding up beautifully. I just order the paramilitary 3 so I’m excited for that

Can you share your list for what we need and during camping please . Thanks

picked up one of these Moras as well as a couple Opinels, can't wait to get my hands on them!

Rather have that kind of back end than a spike or hammer - much more usefull overall

I lost 12 lbs also in the first week of Whole 30!

I have a few Morakniv knives and i love them all.🙂

There is nothing like the vulcanized rubber. Lasts and lasts. What some use now cracks - not rubber, that's for sure. I have an old pair of pac boots that are 40+ years old and the rubber and leather are still good. Not so with snow boots I've bought since. They crack inside of 2 years.

300 bucks isn't bad for what your gonna use it for. Alot of decent pocket kinfes are around 200 zt, Benchmade. An they are like 3 in blade.. for the size and design 300 isn't bad. Now the station knife is 1,500 that's too much its a beautiful knife and would do alot in the kitchen but it's 5 times that..

I have more than twenty Morakniv knives!I love them all!

Truly a great little knife!!!

Good video, wish the camera would have focused on the knife more, tough with human face in video! Nice review though
