I have a pretty good selection of cutting tools and most would say no need for any more. I say bull hockey !! I like knives. Anyway after years of hearing about and seeing Moraknivs i finally bought one. I dont think theres any need for an i depth review you can find tons of reviews out there and im pretty late to this party. I liked the idea i just didnt need one. I have something comparable in the cold steel pendelton light which has been in my hunting pack a good few years 6 i think. It was cheap yet performs great has skinned and cleaned many varied animals from birds to beaver and boar to elk. Its light handy easily sharpened. Basically the same things i undrrstand the basic mora to be. I was online last week looking for something else and saw this mora for 7.99 free shipping so i ordered it. It arrived today. Well its basically exactly as described and what i expected. Light feels handy arrived shaving sharp. I pulled trigger because this one was a carbon blade. I appreciate stainless on the little cold steel its been so durable but im a sucker for a carbon knife blade. The mora is noticeably thinner stock which for my intended use may actually be a plus. The sheath well its a sheath that came with an 8 dollar knife. It has a little hook thing gadget i think il remove dont forsee needing that. Its plastic one plus for that is if you inadvertently put away a dirty knife its easily cleaned. I may send one to my sister in alaska i gave her my prized Buck 119 when she moved and last year she called and said how do you clean the case it smells ? Huh what you say ? She said it smells like fish !! Wah arrgghh did you put the aged classic buck away in its classy leather sheath dirty !! Yep she did she had been cleaning some large shee fish and when done just stuck knife in the leather. Well dang. Yep il probaprobably give her one of these moras over Christmas. Anyhow i plan to send the cold steel to live in my "get home bag" its light and ive been paring my packs down cutting weight. And i will use the Mora in my hunt pack and see how it performs. So far my quick observation its a bargain for sure would it be my ultimate survival knife umm no it would not for me. Will it save the day if its all you have or can afford maybe i think you could do much worse beats the heck out of a shatp rock and maybe better than some more expensive knives. Im really delving into ultra light hiking gear and this has potential. Well see. Ps its the green one. Also as for the cold steel pendelton light darn good field proven inexpensive knife for skinning and food prep etc...
