Morakniv Pro C Craftline Fixed-Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade and Combi-Sheath, 3.6 Inch

Truly, I can't think of a better knife for a budget pack knife. I own a lot of knives, and this particular model blows a lot of my higher end ones out of the water with edge retention, utility, and durability. I've backpacked nearly 500 miles with this dangling off my pack (not recommended unless you modify the sheath to retain the knife harder like I did), and this is almost always the first knife I reach for when I need to use one. Let's talk about the pros and cons of this amazing knife. Pros: 1.) Edge retention and sharpening- because it's a carbon blade, it's going to retain its edge more than other knives in this price range. Not only that, it's a scandi grind, and is therefore easier to sharpen than most other microbevel blades. 2.) Ergonomics- While I have massive hands and sometimes feel a little cramped on the handle, it's ergonomically sound for people with normal human sized hands. 3.) Grip- I've used this knife multiple times in the rain, mud, and snow, and have never lost my grip. The polymer and rubberised coating they've used on this knife provide excellent grip in most conditions. I did jokingly use this while freshwater diving (Highly NOT recommended), and I did notice some slippage while I was underwater. 4.) Durability- I've dropped this thing, smacked it on rocks (NOT recommended) and have all around abused this poor knife, and it's still almost like new with a few blemishes here and there. The carbon steel holds up amazingly well, especially when you've established a patina. Cons: 1.) Slightly too small for massive sasquatch hands, with the heel of the handle digging in if I'm using it to process kindling. 2.) The sheath is almost garbage. It's cheap (What do you expect for this price?) and doesn't hold the blade very well. I used a heat gun to modify mine a little, and it works exceptionally well now. 3.) If you don't know how to care for a carbon blade (like some of the people leaving lower star reviews), it will rust, and you may end up damaging your blade due to neglect. 4.) Not as much of a con as it's more of my preference, but it's a rat tail tang instead of a full, which could lend itself to some breakage down the road, but I have yet to run into that. Overall, this is a fantastic pack knife for new and experienced backpackers, hikers, and outdoors enthusiasts. I will continue to use Morakniv for their superior quality for price, and outstanding utilitarian designs, and can not recommend this knife enough.

For a sub $20 knife, this is a five star product. Crazy sharp, comfortable, and durable, like all Mora knives. When compared to other Moras, I'm a little less impressed... but just a little. While I really like the blade geometry (thin, short, with a wide belly), I'm not really sold on the new grip design. The Companion grip design was close to perfection. The Pro C grip feels a little too bulky and overwrought. The choil at the base is pointless, sometimes it gets in the way. The finger guard is fine, and was part of what I wanted for my own purposes, but this same blade minus the guard would be more generally useful. Mine has a noteable gap between the blade and the hilt--nothing a bead of glue wont seal up, but left alone it will eventually get jammed with dirt/wood shavings/food/whatever. The plastic sheath, on the other hand, is Moras best yet. The knife fits and retains well, sheath is solidly built, and has an excellent belt clip. Less functional is the belt loop option, which seems poorly placed and an afterthought. The button clip has been upgraded it seems, but that's not how I roll, so I cant say if it works. Overall, the Companion is a better knife, but the Pro C is still a great tool with a blade geometry not found on other Moras. I use my Companion for general farm work, but I wanted a finger guard and a shorter, wider blade for messy, wet, fast paced work. The Pro C fits the bill, despite my grumbling about the new grip design, and will probably be my go-to blade this harvest season. For a sub $20 beat em up work knife, you cant go wrong.

The Morakniv is an excellent knife, quality made, and will last a long time. The design is such the handle grips perfectly and the blade feels like an extension of the hand. As a tradesman I have seen these around for years and never paid them much attention because they don't look as cool as other knives. Then I got one and it has become my main knife that I always reach for. Years later my first Mora is going strong but I have picked up a few more. These are meant as working knives to get work done, not sit in a display case. The beauty of these knives is in their functionality and practicality. To help you understand the difference between the similar models, the Pro C is the middle of the road of the Morakniv line and in my opinion the best compromise of strength and agility. The Craft Line Basic has a smaller blade that is the same thickness as the Pro C. The Craft Line Robust is the same shape but the blade is thicker than the Pro C. The craft Pro S is identical knife except the blade is made of stainless steel instead of carbon steel.

Good knife for the price.

best knife I have ever bought!!! This was my first mora and I am now a believer in them. I will definitely be buying Mora again. The knife came razor sharp as do they all. Only complaint is the sheaths but at this price there has to be something lacking and the sheaths is it. I'm making a leather sheath for mine now but all in all it's an amazing knife and worth every penny. I always have it with me

Fantastic little knife with a range of uses. Whittling, cutting, chopping. It just works. Sharp blade out of the box and a comfortable handle. The beauty of these knives is that you get the great Mora craftsmanship for a really cheap price. The sheath is well designed and the knife locks into place. This purchase shouldn't be a difficult decision, other than choosing between other Mora knives at the similar price end.

Très très bon couteau.. Un de plus dans ma collection.

Mora n'est plus à présenter. Le top en matière de solidité et de tranchant RASOIR !!! J'en ai 3 et j'en reprendrais d'autres afin d'équiper différents lieux car c'est une valeur sûre ! Si vous ne devez avoir qu'un seul couteau : prenez un MORA, les Suédois savent faire ! Je lis souvent des commentaires de personnes ignorantes qui sont mécontents car il rouille....Evidemment qu'il rouille car c'est une lame carbone !! et pas une stainless steel ! Donc oui ça s'entretient plus qu'un couteau inoxydable (faut le huilez !) mais : le tranchant est bien plus rasoir car l'acier carbone est plus dur et il s'affute beaucoup plus facilement qu'un stainless !!!! Renseignez vous un peu sur les couteaux avant d'en parler. Vous desservez cette merveilleuse marque avec votre manque de savoir. Les vrais amateurs de couteaux savent.....Heureusement !

Tem a pega do cabo excelente, vem extremamente bem afiada, a bainha é muito prática e firme. Uma ferramenta que você deve levar contigo toda vez que precisar. Eu uso para bushcraft, e ela corta surpreendenetmente bem, materiais de dureza razoável como bambu seco e madeira, com a extensão toda do fio. Tenho duas (essa é minha segunda) e sou muito fã. Só é necessário tomar os devidos cuidados com a lâmina, pois como é uma faca de aço carbono, não inox, ela necessita ser limpa e lubrificada após o uso, caso contrário, ela irá enferrujar.

Brukar inte köpa just den här modellen men vadå, den är ju bra så nu slog jag till på ett par stycken. Det är Mora 511 som jag brukar använda mest plus Mora 2000. Har alltid ett antal nya hemma i reserv. Anders A
