Getting the bit out at 6.20 or so where it blasts fire emblem music at you
All this XC2 music in the last few vids makes me really want to pay it again for the 5th time.
Haha. That Joe X bit killed me.
So nice when we hit a high frequency of new C&A videos. Feels good man.
Your latest string of videos have really features your unique brand; lots of information, entertaining as hell, and with your trademark style and punch of panache. Please keep them coming.
And I loved the Joe X "cameo".
Wow, you've been putting out so much great content in the last few weeks! I hope the youtube gods reward you for what must be a rather insane work ethic! And now I want another Mora!
The behind the scenes drama that lead to all the change ups in Dual Survival is honestly pretty fascinating! The OG combo still the best.
Joe Teti and Cody were the most awkward paring
I think any pairing with Cody would be awkward.
I'm appreciating your current higher rate of video production, i hope you keep it up! That audio cut at 6:20 almost blew my eardrums out though! R.I.P headphone users. Please don't do that if it's on purpose, it's not fun!
Your channel is pure entertainment. Easy and enjoyable to watch, and i’d be surprised if it doesn’t continue to grow with this type of content. Like i saw some one say already you’ve found your brand in the knife community , its natural and refreshing.
I did look at that knife often and think about it a lot.
But in the end, I did buy a number 3 blade from mora and gave it a nice long custom handle from cherry wood.
It does not weigh a lot, is well balanced when gripping it traditionally, is very slicy, carves bigger stuff well, reverse grips well for plucking some greenery single handed, does nicely at light chopping and has a nice long straight cutting edge section that is good for light batoning when crafting stuff.
My favorite mora is still the companion HD. Super cheap. Decent steel. The only thing it doesnt have is a 90 degree spine for striking sparks, which 1 minute with a file will fix. Or just use a ferro rod striker.
I almost always prefer rounded spine for thumb comfort. I usually have something else to strike a ferrocerium rod with.
I already have five lightweight firestarting kits in my camping kit, so 🤷
THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT INTRO, WE'LL FINISH THE JOEX FANFIC FOR YOU.
Mora’s AllRound series comes in ~8”, 6”, 4” variants, some stainless, some carbon. They’ve got my favorite Mora handle shape, nice thin blade stock, and the sheathes are Ok. The 8” and 4” SS are really good in the kitchen, and the 6” in carbon is excellent in the yard and woods.
I have the morakniv 748MG Allround 6", now discontinued. It's a little awkward in balance with the long blade. I love the full fat handle, and the sheath that's similar to the Mora2000 with a leather dangler. I use it like a pull blade sometimes, but it's pretty limited in its usefulness being so long and skinny. It's good for food prep and butchering, but it's understandable why they discontinued it.
@@MB-jg4tr dang, I didn’t know they were discontinued, but I guess I’m not surprised. I’m glad I got my three Allrounds when I did. 4” in my go bag, 6” in the tool bag, and 8” in the kitchen. For bushcraft and such, I have a few Companions, but they just can’t snap cut like the 6” Allround.
Exactly,allround is my Jam,so comfortable in hand!
Yeah, this knife isn’t for me. But in order to shoot the sheath a little bail. At least they put grommets in each corner. Which means you can easily create a belt loop and dangler with Paracord or any piece of line. Bottom grommets to tie down to leg, or pack. Shout Joe X! Great Video, thanks.
I am amazed at your neverending supply of trashcans. 😂
Bushcraft Black always in my edc pack. Love it
Lol yes the Joe x scenario was great:)
I've always imagined that Joe X has a "Free Parking" sign at the end of his driveway, to help provide a ready supply of cars to thrash.
I have one of the Pathfinder Knives.
I like mine a lot! The sheath works well for me, i just used a Zip tie to secure the strap to the rivets and it created a perfectly fine dangler sheath.
I like it because i was looking for exactly what you said, a long Mora thats better at splitting and cooking! :D
Love the Bushcraft Black but never felt compelled to buy the Pathfinder. If I am going to buy a knife with a 6” blade it’s going to have a full tang. I think you are spot on that it is inspired by the Old Hickory 7” butcher knives. Dave Cantebury loves those things, or he used to anyway.
I like the look of that sheath. I would add a velcro loop about 3 inches down from the top and add a couple snaps at the mid and bottom to secure the molle strap. Yes, it has problems as-is, but it looks to be very easy to modify.
You can always use a bit of paracord to attach to your belt I'm sure alot of crafty people have paracord. By the way love the video as always
I loved the part where the music came in when you started comparing different knives, and it was so loud you couldn't hear your voice. Then suddenly drops off. 😂
hahah thanks for letting me know missed in edit. snipped it out!
@@CedricAda no problem lol. I figured it was an editing mistake. At least it wasn't as bad as the cody ko video where like half of it was just music playing instead of the normal audio.
Fyi:
Set feedsack on ground with double stitch facing toward you
Reach over to side facing away from you (should be single stitch)
Grab thread at left end of single stitch side, pull.
Bag now open, and you have string.
but then what would put in my youtube knife reviews 😅😅
Just a little campfire cooking tip, it's way better to let the fire burn down to coals and cook over that instead of open flames. Much much more control and even heat.
I also really like the Mora Classic, particularly the Classic Nr 2 & Nr 3. I think they are very often overlooked. Such great work knives around the house and yard work. And can even handle some bushcraft tasks, for being rat tail knives. But I guess there is a reason why they have stuck around for almost 100 years. I Highly recommend picking one up, as they are well worth the $20-30 cost.
I can confirm that the mora classics are excellent knives. The standard sheath is pretty bad though
You got some weird audio stuff going on in the last two videos. Not sure if it’s on purpose.
Yeah not sure if that loud music when he introduced the Ka-Bar was on purpose or not
I have the bushcraft Grey in stainless. I live in a very humid area so its a good compromise from the Black in carbon. Its a great knife but the sheath sucks. Comes with a very slight hollow grind strangely.
Ive brought 2 of them and sold both. Agree with you 100% Pete.
Indeed there is room for many content creators and reviewers in the knife world, as many opinions and uses as stars in the sky, etc. there is room for only 1 Joe X though. 😂 Dude is out there on the edge
Someone had to fill the void after Noss disappeared I guess
Joe X, a knife tester "who is a bit blunt".🤣🤣🤣
After hard using mine for a while I can conform it's amazing wood prep and still a decent food slicer and cuts meat well. Sucks that the sheath is garbage lol
I don't have any Moras right now. If I get one, I think it'll be the Kansbol or one of the small classics 01 or 02. Great review - looking forward to the next.
The Kansbol is really nice as a camp knife. The thin front is good for cutting food and skinning and the full scandi bottom 2/3 is good for wood carving and stuff. I think it has the best handle of all the Moras, in that it is the shape of the Garberg with added rubberized areas.
I wish they made it in the 14C28N steel instead of the 12C27.
Look into the Mora2000, the precursor of the kansbol. The handle is much better. The blade is almost exactly the same only it has a mirror finish and rounded spine. It's much more comfortable to use. And I like the basic sheath more which has a leather dangler riveted onto it. It's a little less expensive also. Best camp knife I've ever found.
I put a scandi grind on my garberg and it rusted a bit where I took of the black coating, but it is still nice and sharp and works well
You mean you got rust on the bevel 😅... lol who cares... few wipes on a fine grit stone and its gone and you'll hone the edge at the same time..
@@Oozy9Millimeetahthanks I know what it’s called I make knives…also not worried about rust at all 😉
@@NedKnives 🤓 ok... for some reason your comment just gave noob vibes 🤷🏻♂️.... There are some babies out there with nice knives, but zero common sense. Pardon my misunderstanding.
@@Oozy9Millimeetah no worries. I am a 36 year old man who has been collecting knives since I was 6 and I now I make them in Hawaii where carbon steals rust very fast. I appreciate the concern🤙🏼
@@NedKnives nice, im 35 and was "caught" with a knife first time in the 1st grade of school, pulled a Vic in the class to sharpen a pencil, got my first lesson in that not all people have common sense.. and yeah carbon steels are nice in every environment, although mora gardberg in 14c28n is totally bomb proof stuff, just sharpened it absolutely straight razor level sharpness, but carbon in it's simplicity and toughness is appealing.
This reminds me of a souped-up Classic no. 3. Also too big for typical Mora tasks, and too light for a leuku.
I like the idea of the Pathfinder as a bigger knife, but over the years, I've gravitated toward smaller knives. It seems like a good choice for anyone who wants to Mora, but wants a little more of a Bowie style. My wife and I have several different Mora knives, and my absolute favorite Mora is the Mora 2000. The double grind is fantastic and it's excellent as a general camp/food knife; It's my go-to for food prep while camping. I think the Garberg is unnecessary and more than I want to spend on a Mora, but for the die-hard "It must be full tang and a fixed blade" crowd, it's fine choice. For a little reference on preference, since I got it back in 2017, the current Victorinox Soldier's knife is my absolute favorite of the 30+ knives I own because it's such a capable tool.
I've only owned one Garberg. Still have it. I use it as a example of a knife that the majority of people seem to love, yet I don't care for it. Of all the Moras I've owned or tried a plain Companion is my choice every time.
For most things I would use my Garberg, but I have a Schrade Frontier SCHF52 for heavy work. and I guess the SRK SK5.
Nobody loves it, I get that but...I LOVE my Pathfinder. I grinded (apparently this is the correct tense) the "shoulders" off the scandi grind, and took off the black coating. I use it for all the knife sort of stuff you need when camping but this knife shines, truely shines when butchering. Yes, it looks like a big rugged butcher knife and it can do the work really well. I use mine most often when slaughtering, I bleed, mke the initial cuts in the hide and break up the carcasses with it in order to protect the more delicate butcher knives.
As Joe found out, not the strongest of knives but it's light, manoeuvrable and it's got an excellent handle and steel combo. The Bushcrft Black is for most folk but the Pathfinder is for the weirdos.
Bloody hell Pete. I was watching a happy-go-lucky knife review, then suddenly the Guts theme kicked in...
It’s a shame about the sheath, what were they thinking. That alone has put me off, and I do have a few Moras.
I never bloody thought of that. This is totally the knife love child of Cody and Dave. Gross! Too long for a Mora though. I learned that from the Classic #3.
Searched to see if you reviewed this before I bought it in April, its served me well as a work knife, but definitely a strange one
Watched this after a ripper... Fantastic👍
Suggestion for the sheath
Attach a heavy duty Caribeaner to it!
The best part of the normal Mora companion Sheaths are that they cab clip onto your belt, or pocket or waistband if you dont have a belt on. The Carribeaner gives you the same advantages. You can clip it to your pocket or waistband, or feed your belt through it its what ive done to my other Mora sheaths.
The Kansbol has just a belt loop, so i aded the caribeaner to that.
The classic knives have a minimal sheath, so a small loop for cord or a metal split ring and a Carribeaner go on to those.
If you have the less common Mora Allround series, they have a sturdy black plastic sheath and the bit of plastic that can clip onto a bottom, but not much room for a belt, so i put a cord and caribeaner on those as well.
Basically all my non Companion knives have this, and it makes them all much much nicer to wear. Even just to clip into your wastband, and then easily unclip when needed.
Would love to see you make a kayaking video. Especially if you use that green Spyderco Salt knife.
perhaps you could make an impromptu dangler sheathe by looping a carabiner through the webbing then through a belt loop. aside from that though, i agree with the sheathe assessment
Re: the sheath, I tied off the strap and did a paracord wrap around the whole sheath. It works great!
I had no problems making a belt loop. Just put the long tabs through the upper hole thing and tighten when on belt. Alternatively use paracord or a carabiner. Worked fine, you absolutely don't have to buy a new sheath. That's just inventing problems instead of solutions. Anyway, big fan and fun video as always.
I much prefer my 9 inch Sami knife anyway.
I think you would like the Lionsteel T6 as a fun larger knife. It's a great value 3V slightly overbuilt camp knife. And for its price, I don't think it got that much competition. But then again it's a very specific type of knife. But Like the TRC Apocalypse it just put a smile on your face when you use it.
They’re about $300. That’s a whole different ballpark.
@@shamitoson Sure but still one of the best priced in its class.
As a swede I'm loving these Morakniv reviews!
Great knife but the scandi grind is limited to just a woods knife so I would recommend the 2000 or the fish scaling knife from Mora instead
Very funny video Pete, thanks for enduring injury while "bushcrafting". If you're getting a Gerberg in (and maybe other Moras), I'm curious what you think about something like the Cold Steel Peace Maker (2 or 3), Finn Bear or Candaina belt knife as competitors. I'm also curious about the Kansbol-like grind on the Peace Makers.
Bro the guts theme got me good 😂
Same! 😂
About your Joe X meeting in the field story: From the videos i have seen from him, i think i can guess in which part of austria he is (i can be wrong of course), and all i can say is: at least that is the part where you won't find many hikers (and tourists hiking) as it is the least mountainous part.😉
Please do more Dickhead Survival videos.
With the husk knife lol
@@snakehead5444Damn that's funny
For a few 💵 you can have a tailor sew that strap down into a belt loop.
So fundamentally different to a KaBar, grind, weight, blade geos, no flaky weak ass thin tang at handle, no crappy handguard that rattles. Can't see the comparison but...hey...we're all different. Would be keen to see how the sheath might be 'danglerised' with a bit of fiddling.
The benchmade Leuku is another good one in this same category.
My favorite Mora knife is the Mora Frost 106 laminated steel, sløyd kniv. Not a survival knife. But a really good bushcraft knife.
I have a Morakniv Allround 748 in 5.8". It's slightly smaller and 0.5mm thinner than a Pathfinder but overall very similar. It doesn't have the weight for chopping anything but twigs. These aren't bad knives but not a survival type knife.
I also have the morakniv 748MG Allround, it's a little awkward being so thin and long, and most other Mora's are better suited for woodworking. I like the full fat handle and sheath with the leather dangler like the Mora2000. I use it as a pull knife sometimes. It's a decent butchering tool and good for food prep, but other than that I think it's a little limited. Understandable why it's discontinued.
Yes!!! Love the idea of Mora reviews. Plese compare them to the terrasaur.
They changed the tang design inside the handle and for some.reason,they made it way worse than it used be. They not only added so many failure points,with all these notches and corners,but they also removed a lot of steel,just to make it weaker where it already suffered.
The chicken looked so good!
Have you tried wearing the sheath horizontally? You can put your belt through the loops if you have one small enough.
all my belts are too meaty sadly. would be a heck of a look tho haha
@@CedricAda dang, I think you would have looked pretty cool. Thanks for the answer.
🤣 guess i'm not the only one who's asked myself what i would do if i happened across Joe in the wilderness
Great into
The Joe X segment was effing hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty bad sheath, but you could possibly use some 550 cord to jerry rig on the rivets.
Would have been a perfect cut into Dave's video about pulling your ass cheeks apart so you don't need to wipe.
Good review as always. I'm curious about the kansbol from Mora. Never got much internet love
Skip the Kansbol, go for the precursor the Mora2000, much better handle, blade is nearly identical but with a mirrored finish and rounded spine. Best in camp knife I've ever found.
Such a great knife
That Xenoblade 2 music in your intro!!!!
Recently got a 511 and wacked a few low branches that would've grown out to make it difficult to mow. Fairly impressed. By the way, I got a Neutron 2 on the recent TRM drop, but I got the flat scales. Can you compare your TRM Atom's flats to your Neutron 2's 3d scales with some close ups? Might convince me to pick up some micarta 3d scales later down the line
Buy a dremel, DIY
@@LosRiji I think he mentioned in his videos the 3d ones are a bit thicker to begin with, so unless I cut my own scales, might end up with a handle thats a little too thin
I always thought that looked shit. Never wanted one. My favourite Mora are the little San Mai wood carvers. Less than £20 a pop in the UK. I do fancy an Elvis though. (I know it's really Eldris but it'll always be the Elvis to me.)
You are hilarious, keep your videos coming.😂😂😂😂
We're gonna need a bigger rubbish bin 😮
That knife reminded me of the Benchmade Leuku.
I always saw it like a modern leuku!
The microbevels on bushcraft Moras are put there in factory to decrease the chipping. Filthy casuals can't handle true scandi grind ;x
Are any of he Mora knives still laminated ?
How does it compare to the Husk?
Dave Canterbury had an issue with stolen valor, claiming military experience he didn't have... he has since 'retooled' his schtick.
I always ask myself,how did that happened
Going to miss Joe X.
wow, sharp to cut a water jug
Liked for the smile at 20:24
Always wondered about these
I think Dave Canterbury got caught exaggerating about his military prowess, ie he didn’t have any.
Good stuff! :D
0:31 Just a heads up the steel should be uhb 20c not uhc 20c I believe (Im assuming this is a typo or something)
indeed twas a typographical error/faux pa
@@CedricAdahappens to the best of us. Good video !
Joe X, pure entertainment!
Is there a MagnaCum version?
I've had one for 6 years and I think I used it once to carve a roast.
My points I want to make.
1. David is ex military. I believe he is ex army. His whole deal of switching from military survival to frontiersman style of survival is because the time period of Frontiersman. Where more suited to survival.
1.a Now pathfinder is a name of a course you can take in the army. It goes with mountaineer, and a few others. Pathfinder is for setting up parachute landing zones.
2. Mollie system, is able to strap its self to anything( with in reason). So yes it should be able to be put on your belt. Why does your sheath not able to be put on your belt? Well if you look at the end of the strap. You should find a button or some kind of Velcro. I did not see that in your video. Instead what I saw was a strap dangling around. Maybe check it. See if you have something defective.
As someone that likes 6 inch blades on my knives (I think 6.5 inch is the limit of comfort ... but I am somewhat tall), this knife catches my attention but it does not keep it any longer than a passing glance. 6.7 inches is not that much longer than 6.5 so this knife should get my attention. It does not because it is just weird.
If this knife had a full tang, my primary issue would be solved. Though ... the sheathe has become a new issue.
Almost pick one up.
Hi good folks.
I've seen the cutting raw egg gag twice and I haven't yet discovered what the reference is. Can someone please explain?
Thank you.
there is no gag i think i was just dropped on my head as a child
Thank you!
Cliff stamp was the Nigel and Joe x the Donnie of the knife community!
Joy-X videos shows, with enough force you can destroy everything nothing more nothing less.
the leather sheath for the usmc will fit that knife
Just thought you should know . I got a husk add in your vidio . I think they maybe out to get you Pete .
Mora fine .got a lot of mora's.yes .a lot going for them.
