Moraknives are equal to other expensive knife brands which are often only distinguished by wood scales
How do buyers justify spending an extra $/£/€ for wood instead of plastic?
Especially since they are tools for the outdoors
Moraknives are equal to other expensive knife brands which are often only distinguished by wood scales
>an extra $/£/€
*70-100
Moras are like 8-15$ depending on where you are.
Exactly. Then knives like this get an extra $100 dollars added for the wood
God forbid someone appreciate the aesthetic of wood over plastic
"I like it and can afford it."
im not bringing the same cheap-shit use, break and throw away knife i use at work when /out.
also it feels so crap with its plastic handle and the sheat makes annoying clunk-clunk sounds when you bash them against each things, their edge is also sub par and dont hold up.
The sheath is the worst part. Make your own using garden hose dummy.
I only use moras, unless it's fileting. Even then I often use moras.
nah, i replace the plastic sheat with a leather one and while im at it i replace the plastic knife with a wooden one.
unironicly the best mod you can do to your morakniv.
>plastic sheat with a leather one and while im at it i replace the plastic knife with a wooden one.
This. You could actually do this to three Moraknivs for the price of one standard wood handled knife
someone didnt get the joke
>im not bringing the same cheap-shit use, break and throw away knife i use at work when /out.
They don't break and the plastic is more durable than the wood
Go to a factory and watch what goes into making their products, how they're made and how many are made at a time
then go to a custom knifemaker's shop and watch what goes into making their knives, how they're made and how many are made at a time
Ugly knife with poor balance. You are hipster that thinks good taste is a high price tag.
Not them.
I can tell that you're woman and/or not white and have a very low level of reading comprehension.
I can tell you like spending money
>doesn't know the materials
>doesn't know the tang
>has never seen knives made in person
>thinks a custom knife is a high price tag
lol
lmao even
>he watches steel get pounded
>he watches wood get polished
You're a diy cuckold
>Go to a factory and watch what goes into making their products, how they're made and how many are made at a
Knives are made with wooden handles in factories too like the one in the OP picture
I'm pretty sure that sounded a lot more convincing in your head.
Looks like a sharpened spoon to me
I own a bushcraft black and I like it, but it's not the best for cleaning game or fileting fish. I use my Grohmann #2 or #4 for those tasks because it just performs better. And there is also something to be said for how a tool makes you feel when you use it. Holding a high quality tool in your hand and getting work done with it is a great feeling.
>cleaning game
A swingblade is the superior choice for that.
Can't imagine why anyone would use a folder to clean game unless it's the only knife you have on you...
Why would I carry more than one knife when hunting?
Because different types of knives have vastly different uses. I usually carry three knives if I'm going for more than a day. My pocket knife/SAK, fishing/game knife, and buschraft knife.
>Because different types of knives have vastly different uses
This is true
Pic related. Even stone age men used different knives for different things
Ah yes I can't wait to use my ad hoc hammerstone on flake knife. Stop being a nerd. If you want to take multiple knives out, you do that. Most of us get by on two. One for big tasks, one for small tasks.
you don't do this for life or a living you do it for fun so that's fine
Tell us about how it's impossible to clean one
just annoying and unnecessary
depends
the garberg is massively overpriced for what it is. it should be in 3v for the price they ask for it.
the companion hd is 10/10, though.
>the companion hd is 10/10, though.
the robust, too
Pic related.
€10 Morakniv given a wood handle for under €20
Now it is equal to a €110 euro knife
lol no it still got a dull blade that dont hold an edge.
cant change the fact its a low quality product just by changing its handle.
>low quality product
It isn't low quality at all.
are you new here? its a frickin morakniv, never once outside of PrepHole has it ever been seen as a high quality product.
somehow you PrepHoleists obsess over it due to some hipster contrarian thing but its literally just a swedish tradie tool made to throw away once it goes dull or break and that happends soon enough.
Translated into simple English
"I spent $300 on a knife with Australian Munhonga Tree scales so it s 10,000 times more durable than your knife"
Now please leave while men go outside and actually use their tools
I'm an Alaskan commercial fisherman. We throw them away after about 6 months.
We mostly replace them when a dumbass loses his.
I keep 2 or 3 on me when I'm camping.
Expendable, affordable and reliable.
You're just mad they're not fashionable.
Same sort of. I've used one for two years for work I have to open lots of boxes and it still sharpens and cuts.
Nothing is wrong with fancy knives but it does the same thing.
The thing should slice indefinitely if you know how to hone.
We use ours to stab gillplates, the aluminum table eventually takes the tip.
While we can still stab with it, a new knife is kino.
I'm guessing my personal ones will last for a couple years.
>I keep 2 or 3 on me when I'm camping.
>2 or 3 on me
Take a pic of your three-mora belt please, it'll be the highlight of my goddamn week
I don't carry them on my belt friend.
I keep one in my pocket or tucked on my shirt, and the others packed away.
>We throw them away after about 6 months.
>I keep 2 or 3 on me when I'm camping.
>But they're reliable.
The frick?
We throw them away because we use them to play whack-a-mole with fish on an aluminum table.
Sometimes you need to stab 100 fish in a minute.
Then you stab and fling the fish in the same motion, or stab and hoist.
They take quite a lot of stress quite well.
I've never had one physically bream on me.
I just replace them every 6 months of fishing for superstition.
I don't nearly put them under so much stress while camping or hunting.
What, I might skin an animal or cut my steak?
I carry 2 or 3 in case one gets lost or someone needs to borrow one.
Skill issue
My mora holds an edge super well even though I abuse it with batony chopchop type stuff. Not sure what you're doing with your knives bro.
Plastic Mora, pretty cringe
Is the handle comfortable? I saw those but thought it might be sore.
most comfortable knife ive ever owned, had it for nearly 2 decades know, and whn i bought it, it was the price of a gas station sandwich
That's the only knife you've ever owned.
no need to look at other knives when that one is comfortable and works good
I might buy it then because it isn't too expensive thank you
It comes with a pretty shitty plastic sheath though, my leather one is not original, I didn't like the feel of the red paint so I grinded it off and just gave it plenty of linseed oil
>al, I didn't like the feel of the red paint so I
Yeah it looks funny on the pictures too
I unironically found it in the woods, homeless guy, had to mend it with sewing machine thread I had laying around
You can see at the top fe stitches
Looks good for a hobbyist
I own a €300 knife made of a dinosaur bone
where can you get a knife made of dinosaur bone for just 300 bucks?
It was out an antique/vintage shop so I assume he was saying the truth
Ordered a companion since everyone on the internet won't shut the frick up about them. Just got it out of the mailbox. Seems pretty solid for $15. Good feel in the hand and came just sharp enough to shave arm hair. The steel is pretty nice looking too with just a few odd parts along the spine. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up since I have no reason to baby it.
>with just a few odd parts along the spine
That's intentional.
Doubt it since they were pretty rounded and irregular. Was just some material that got smushed back and partially ground off. I don't think I care enough to grind it square.
itt poor endlessly coping for their poor spending habits
lol
lmao even
>t. buys a can of soda for 100 dollars because he doesn't want to be seen as "poor"
A fool and his money are easily parted
yeah, like ordering plastic mora's online instead and consooming 20 of them in a lifetime instead of buying an actual knife made locally that you can pass down for generations.
and thats from someone local to mora, yet i can find 10x better knifes around. why someone would order a mora from the other side of the world is beyond me? dude just go to the hardware store and buy any other carpenters knife from the bucket next to the counter if thats what you want, they are all the same shit and many are even cheaper than mora.
you never been outside.
You'll never have children to pass your things to
i have 2 and intend to gift them a knife equal to mine when they are at age, maybe one of my grandchildren can get my knife, im not done with it yet.
Larp
lmao i've never seen an anon larp about having kids. worrying so much about looks and the instagram bragging rights of having something "locally sourced" is the fruitiest thing ever.
>e made locally that you can pass down for generations
1
A morakniv will last generations
2
Spending 4000 on a fossilised wooly hippopotamus wiener handled knife doesn't mean it will last longer than a €10 Morakniv
1.
no it doesnt, literally never happend. go ask any boomer in the woods. my oldest mora had its plastic disintegrate and become brittle after 20 years, thats one i tried to take care of. most of you are younger than that so that timespan is literally a lifetime for you.
2.
lol just make it from a local tree who cares? just make it with the purpse of lasting a an actual lifetime or two and it will. plastic has yet to do that.
>my oldest mora had its plastic disintegrate and become brittle after 20 years, that
So get a wooden one or replace the handle
>Moraknives are equal to
Not really. you're just shifting around personal preferences to be more or less important.
I went and bought a cheap folding $25 knife on Thursday, Shot a deer and took the legs and steaks off it snd carried it down the hill on Saturday and now I'm eating backstraps and potatoes. What matters is having whatever the frick you need to get PrepHole.
Best Mora coming through.
Nice colour
Olive drab is best drab
I like nice things so I'm using a proper, beautiful leuku.
>How do buyers justify
what makes you think I have to justify my decisions to anyone?
that's a false presumption
Buygay fragility?
Buygay egos shatter like glass if other buygays buygay different things. You have to agree that their buygay choices are th best buygays choices otherwise they feel bad about themselves and start whinging. They have no other source of self than their buygayging.
But it’s small and it looks gay and it’s made of plastic and it’s probably too expensive 🙁
Your post made me sad
How do you justify paying money for a knife at all? I mean, you can make one for free out of a rock you find on the ground.
This is just another guygay social tiering thread. I bet you pay someone to make your shoes for you? Losers.
>can make one for free out of a rock you find on the ground
No I can't
Knapping is actually quite a refined skill and takes a lot of practice to consistently make quality stone blades
>only distinguished by wood scales
Yes. Name another difference.
Should I buy a carbon steel Garberg?
There's nothing wrong with a Mora Companion -- cheap, light, tough, comfortable -- but a skandi grind has its limitations and it's a pain to keep sharp. I always have a couple around but I use other knives for tasks such as cutting meat and veggies for camp dinner or filleting fish.
Should I?
No. Get the Mora Pig Sticker.
What does the guard do?
It guards
It's a good knife. I've had mine for 5 years and it's still going strong.
