Morakniv Classic No. 1 Carbon Steel Crafting and Wood Carving Knife With Finger Guard and Sheath, 3 Inch

Tried and true, Mora classic 1/0 in carbon that cannot be beat. If you know anything useful about knives you already know Mora knives are an outstanding value and are made from excellent steel. As an owner of three they are truly the only production knives I care to keep in my arsenal and use regularly. If your a bladesmith like myself you may wonder why they are worth buying... Price point and quality. Hands down there isn't anything comparable to the Mora knives for their low price point that isn't made in China... Thats a plus hands down right there, Swedish quality. Lastly the good high carbon steel they use. I'm personally one who stays away from a stainless blade as IMO carbon is superior, couple that with the scandi grind your already ahead. That said they are properly heat treated, tempered and sharpened from the factory with an "almost" razors edge. Few passes on a good leather strop and they shave while holding that edge extremely well, again a testament to their craftsmanship. A few things can be done to the classic series to dress them up a bit. One, bluing or placing a patina on the blade followed by a good coat of oil. Second, dye the leather belt loop with leather dye or vinagaroon dye which turns veg tanned leather black. Third, knock back the shine on the plastic sheath with 0000 steel wool and your set! You can address the tooling marks on the blades edge by further work on the stones. I personally see no need as the factory edge is great, strictly cosmetic and not bad whatsoever. Again, for the price these blades just cannot be beat!

Knife arrived very sharp. I’ve used it for a while now, and it has fulfilled my expectations.

I’m a huge fan of plenty of higher end makers such as Esee, Tops, LTWK, etc. Nevertheless, this knife is entirely adequate for the majority of knife tasks. Very sharp, very efficient geometry, and will give you years of enjoyment if you take care of it. That is, I just wouldn’t beat on it as it’s not designed for a beating. It does however excel at it’s designed purpose… Cutting like a boss!

This is a great small knife and I love the classic design. It is also super sharp and easy to sharpen. But, be forewarned it rusts extremely fast due to it being carbon steel. I bought it for cleaning squirrels and other small game and if you do not clean and oil it immediately it will rust. On my last hunt I wiped it off on my pants and when I returned home an hour later to clean it it was covered with thick rust. This is not really the knifes fault but be warned it’s not ideal for hunting or fishing.

Morakniv makes wonderful knives. This one is no exception. Came out of the box razor sharp is easy to sharpen and is super comfortable in your hand.

I actually bought this expecting it to be similar size to my older Mora Classic (painted handle with the + on the end) and it's quite a bit smaller.Nonetheless, it's made very well and it came razor sharp. The sheathe is much better than the old style, with leather for the belt loop instead of hard plastic that will break.Overall, the craftsmanship of these knives has dramatically improved over the last few years, and the price hasn't moved that much.Well worth the price, I use it every day.

Exactly as I expected from Mora. This isn’t my first. Love these blades! Perfect edc knives and amazing quality. Can’t beat these! And I am a knife guy who routinely spends 500+ on a single blade, so to say I love this game $30+/- blade should say something.

Good and sharp. Good for cleaning small game.
