Morakniv13604 Classic No. 2 4.13" Blade Red Stain Bird Handle Fixed Knife

Have yet to test this particular blade out, besides the occasional opening of packages/letters. Have experience with another Mora knife (albeit a smaller version.) It seems well made, evenly balanced, good grip and came sharp out of the box. Being a carbon steel knife, rust can be an issue. But, that being said, typical knife maintenance alleviates that issue. Overall, a great value and an excellent tool!

Time for a new Mora. It’s a no frills cutting edge. The cutting edge/blade is good quality Swedish carbon steel. It sharpens easier than stainless steel, can be used with flint to strike tinder and will last for years with simple maintenance. The sheath it came with is now a composite material, pierce proof, with a riveted leather belt loop. I acquired a leather sheath for using my new Mora as a neck knife(I like to keep a good blade handy on my person when going off grid, another packed away as contingency). The handle is simple and wooden with no finger guard(using good knife technique mitigates getting cut) and feels good in hand. Morakniv is a time tested, simplistic cutting tool, useful for general cutting and finer carving. It is perfect for the purpose it serves for a knife it’s size. My Mora is my go-to general work blade on the trail or at camp. Even if it becomes a field loss, a replacement doesn’t cost a fortune.

So to start off, i will say that I own several Mora knives. I use them mostly for woodcarving. The Frost line of carving knives are my go-to knives for carving. I will somewhat compare this to the previous iteration of the classic line of Mora knives. These are really an all around step up from the originals. Not perfect, but still a really solid purchase for a functional belt knife under 50 dollars.So here is the good and the bad....Good: great steel, the handle material is SOOOO much better than the painted crap on the original Mora classics, the sheath fits the knife nicely, and i enjoy the now shinier plastic they use. You can't beat this knife for the value. It is razor sharp, holds and edge, and can survive a real beating.Bad: the size... the blade is a tad big for me. They downsized the mora one to almost a neck knife, and this no 2 is same size as the classic no 2 which is too big in my opinion. I prefer around a 3 inch blade in congruence with Mr. Mors "just right" law. The balance is a little blade heavy. One other minor complaint is that it looks like the handle is two separate pieces. It doesn't affect the quality of it, its just something that irks me for no real reason besides being nitpicky.All in all its a very good knife. I plan to use it around the house and yard.

Mora knives are great knives holds a good edge and a very good price.

Morakniv makes amazing knives especially at their price. This knife came out of the box razor sharp is easy to sharpen and maintain. I take this on all of my camping trips.

Morakniv Blades are extremely well made. Swiss and Scandinavian blades, companies like Victorinox, and Morakniv have done fantastic work with a multitude of styles, all with the same underlying quality and durability that make them special.This particular design is iconic: the wooden bulbous handle... a symbol of "that knife" carried for those times falling between extreme bush craft and something stuck in "that draw" lol. This is a knife that will serve one well to rock on the daily.The blade is well sharpened, somewhat resistant to corrosion (Carbon Steel) though not water proof, and quite sturdy. I personally would rather have a sharp well crafted Carbon steel blade than a very dull and blocky Stainless Steel blade.This is a fantastic knife at any price point.

Best wood craft knife

A very nice little knife and cheap enough that I don't mind actually using it. The only drawback is that I had to file the Spine Square so that it would strike a spark. Not a big deal but would be great if it came that way in the first place.
