Question:	Is this a carbon blade
Answer:	Honestly, Victorinox Swiss Army knife sets the standard. Victorinox is much expensive than morpilot. But the quality.sharpness, durability. I don't think that they have a great difference. I wanted to just get the basic Swiss army knife and thought it was really cool that morpilot came with the fire starter. The fire starter is really cool for camping.

User questions & answers

Question:	will the knife stay in the sheath if mounted upside down
Answer:	Hi Smokin, Yes, but with a qualification. It fits with pressure- not a strap or lock. It is possible when taking it in and out to not "seat" it all the way. Then it can flop out. I strap them to the outside of my pack and have never lost one or had one fall out. I like the fit of these molded handle models better than the Mora's with smooth rounded handles and tube-like sheaths. A mod could prevent it falling out. I would not recommend depending on the sheath fit and carry it upside down or bungee with it!
Question:	is this a full tang knife
Answer:	The mora companion is not a full tang knife
Question:	Which is better for a working man situation in which the knife will get dirty often, Staintless or Carbon
Answer:	I disagree with some of the posters on here. Personally I think carbon steel holds the edge 10x's better than stainless steel. The only thing stainless steel offers is it's easy to clean and does not rust. My grandfather was born in the 1800s and was a machinist and produced handmade full tang carbon steel knife blades with wooden handles and rivets. We carried those knives in our family for 90 years passed down from generation to generation and they always kept the edge just by sharpening them on a steel. Carbon steel rust but it's easy to clean all you have to do is use some steel wool and it comes off in two seconds.
Question:	I used this knife while camping and after using it to cut up some meat the blade looks blue now. Does anyone know why
Answer:	I know this question is pretty old but it’s because this is carbon steel and carbon steel quickly develops a patina when used on different materials especially wet ones.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have the HighQ Robust Carbon Steel Knife, It is a little big for my hand, Is the bushcraft as big in the handle or no
Answer:	I have medium hands and own the Robust which is my least favorite Mora because of the palm swell. I just got the Bushcraft and the handle is day and night different, much more comfortable. It splits your index and middle fingers perfectly. It is still larger and gives me a handful but it doesn't have the lump in the middle feel I get from the Robust. Don't get me wrong the Robust is the knife in my BoB and that will remain so. A least Favorite Mora is still a workhorse beyond most knives.
Question:	Would this knife be better if it had a full tang? Yes, no, and why
Answer:	This is an old question, but I just want to chime in here with my 2 cents for whatever that may be worth, for anyone else viewing this question. I saw a YouTube vid of a guy who wanted to re-handle his Mora. Not only was he unable to break the handle off, but finally ended up having to take a sawzall and cut it off with the knife clamped in a vice. It still took another 5-10 minutes or so at that. It appeared that the handle was not just attached to the tang, but actually molded around it and is made out of a tough plastic. A VERY tough plastic.
Question:	Is the 5.7 oz listed the kinfe alone or including the sheath too? If it is just the knive what does the sheath weigh
Answer:	The knife weighs in at 4.34 oz and the sheath is 1.4 oz
Question:	is this knife 1095 carbonsteel and could you use it for batonning to process fire wood
Answer:	I think there is some contention about the actual steel used, but yes, it is something very close to 1095 if not actually 1095. At first when viewing online I could not get my head around why it was almost 3 times the cost of a Mora Companion HD...that is until I received it. The knife is rock solid and does not have the softer laminated rolled steel that other common Mora knives have wrapped around a 1095 thin inner core layer. This thing is a very strong knife and I would have no concerns batoning with it.

Product features

Steel

The Bushcraft Black high carbon steel 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick blade is extremely sharp, durable, and is hardened to HRC 56-58 to better withstand stress on the blade when batoning. The black coating helps protect against corrosion. For further corrosion resistance, oil carbon blades after each use.

Spine

The back of the Buschraft Black blade (spine) has been ground especially for use with a fire starter. You can easily ignite a fire by pulling the spine slowly and heavily along a fire starter (not included) to create sparks that can easily light dry grass, leaves, tinder and even your barbecue grill.

Grind

The Bushcraft Black has a scandi grind that prevents the knife from slipping off easily, bites into the surface without getting stuck, is razor sharp and stays sharp. The blade is relatively thin making it easier to carve yet robust enough for batoning and other demanding outdoor activities.

Handle

The Morakniv Bushcraft Black handle is an over-molded rubber grip that provides great anti-slip performance and works extremely well in wet and cold conditions. It sits comfortably in your hand giving you greater control, safety, and unbeatable performance.

Batoning

Batoning is essential for obtaining dry wood inside of logs, or for splitting wood into smaller pieces used for kindling. With its razor sharp edge and robust 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick blade, the Bushcraft Black is robust and sharp enough to tackle the toughest of your batoning chores.

Carving

The Bushcraft Black is the ultimate carving tool with its razor sharp edge and balanced handling characteristics. It will allow you to precisely prep tinder, create feather sticks, carve shelter stakes, and process wood for various uses like collecting water or creating camp tools.

Feather stick

A feather stick will help the Bushcrafter with fire starting and is essential when starting a fire with damp wood or without tinder. To create the best performing feather stick you need a knife like the Bushcraft Black that has a razor sharp edge, is lightweight, balanced, and easy to use.

Fire starting

By pulling the specially ground spine of the knife slowly and forcefully down against a fire starter (not included), you can easily light dry grass, leaves, paper, bark and even your favorite gas grill or stove.

User questions & answers

Question:	Should this knife be oiled? if yes, is extra virgin olive oil ok (to allow use with food)? will oiling this knife diminish its firestarting ability
Answer:	Yes, it can. The sheath provides multiple mounting and attachment options.
Question:	Can this knife be mountes horizontally
Answer:	I haven't tried it? But the knife is designed to go in for a left or right handed person...if that helps?
Question:	Can it be inserted in the molle sheath left or right handed
Answer:	I can't imagine paying nearly $100 for a Mora when the Morakniv Craftline HighQ Robust is $17. While not full tang the high carbon steel in the Robust is better and same thickness at 3.2mm. A full tang in a 4" knife doesn't add much in the way of strength.
Question:	Other than just being full tang and a little bigger is this knife any better than a Companion HD
Answer:	Yes, I have field dressed two with it. The bigger the knife the clumsier it is.

Morakniv

There’s a long tradition of knife making in Mora. We have been creating sharp knives for the rest of the world for more than 400 years. For Morakniv the journey started in 1891 when Frost-Erik Erson returned to his home village of Östnor in Mora after four years in North America. When he opened his timber sled factory the first seed was sewn to what would eventually become the company and the brand that we know today – Morakniv.

We have a wide variety of different knives. Models with longer or shorter blades, larger or smaller handles, made of different steel, and with different features. What all our knives have in common is that they have been designed to fulfill their intended purpose in the best possible way. In addition to our classic knives, we have models for building, for handicraft, for cooking, and for outdoor recreation.

User questions & answers

Question:	if this knife is not liked when purchased what are the return details
Answer:	It’s a mora knife. You will like it.
Question:	Is the built in sharpening stone a good, usable piece of equipment
Answer:	If you want solid sharpening system that won't break the bank, buy a lansky blade medic from Amazon for under $10. It's pocket size and carbide and ceramic sharpening methods set to a 30 degree angle to keep your field knife in top shape (as well as a ceramic stone for honing and a flip out diamond file for serrated blades). I have three lansky blade medics and use them on all my Moraknives, Benchmades, Kershaws, and my Leathermans. The are awesome and a must to have. As far as rough field options for sharpening knives, there are several options available: smooth rocks in a creek bed, concrete driveway/road, cinder blocks, metal files, cardboard (when a leather Strop isn't available), roughly ceramic ring on bottom of coffee cups and plates/bowls, flat glass edge on top edge of vehicle window, and so many other methods that can be found on Google/YouTube. The rough diamond file on the sheath is meant to shape the blade when it is to dull to Strop in the field. Wear a real leather belt and use the backside of the belt to Strop the blade after using the rough diamond file on the sheath. Cardboard can be used in place of a leather belt/leather Strop to Strop the blade (stroping the blade removes the metal burs built up on the edge of the blade that cause the blade to be dull; it is common to see an old fashioned barber Strop a straight razor before he/she shaves your face).
Question:	Is upgraded sheath (fire/ sharpening stone) worth the money
Answer:	Sharpening stone is extremely rough, scratch's everything. All my sharpeners have been smooth. Great idea to have it attached to carrying case but feel very uncomfortabe using such a rough sharpener, especially with the marks it left in the black finish of the knife when I tried it out. Not a fan of the Plastic. Knife does come out easy enough. Knife it's self I like, disappointed in rest of it, especially stupid cheap clips that attach to it, finally got the one in ...now can't get it off. Comes with no instructions, which would be helpful since you can't put fire starter in either way...one way it falls out, teeth of fastener to fire starter ... Hope they don't give out, doesn't feel secure.
Question:	Is this a full tang knife
Answer:	If you want a full tang Morakniv you'll want to check out the relatively new (2016) Garberg here on Amazon. Comes with a leather sheath or multimount sheath system. Regardless, you'll be hard pressed to find a better rock solid value than any Mora, full tang or 3/4.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this knife roughly the same or maybe even better than the Bushcraft knife
Answer:	I've used this knife on several animals now and it is my go to. We process our own cattle. On cows and young bulls , it can hold an edge throughout, for skinning, parting out and deboning. On an older bull I touch up the blade with either a fine diamond steel or the Fiskars axe sharpener as I go. Pigs are no problem at all. The point is great for making finger holes to pull the skin, IF you aren't keeping the hide. Easily spilts the hide from ankles down the leg. I also gut with it, running it between my two fingers, pulling up, so not to puncture the intestines. It does rust if you don't oil it after every use. I use a green brillo pad and soap to clean it off when I forget. Knife is strong, even if not a full tang. I baton hard wood, like mesquite, for kindling. I also ground the spine so I can strike sparks, works great. The sheath is exceptional IMHO. I have a Morakniv Kansbol, ALSO a very strong knife. I don't carry that one as much because I need two hands to pull it out of the sheath. Where as this Companion has a thumb break. Works great one handed. Rubber handle is also very grippy while bloody and wet. At this price, There is no reason not to own several of these knives. It rivals my $150-$200 knives. No brainer.
Question:	How is this knife for skinning game? Does it clean up fairly easily? I feel like blood could get stuck in the grooves in the handle
Answer:	I own a host of knives, have made knives, and consider myself in the top 85%-90% of sharpeners. This puppy won me over BEFORE I sharpened it - possibly the best edge I'd put on something. I hadn't worked with scandi grind before this, and now I'm a huge fan. Easy to sharpen because of the large flat edge, takes a true razor's edge, and holds just great. It has dulled with use, but held up very well and never got to the place it couldn't cut. Just strop often or touch it up on 1000/5k stones and hit strops. Beautiful - love it. I recommend the carbon all the way - better edge, fun to patina, rust hasn't been a problem (sheath breathes well, something you don't read about, but true!). I grab this knife because I got it for $13, and the camp knife I made would break my heart to lose or damage. (Also, I have to admit it - it's not as good a knife....even though you'd have to pay $150 for it. you sort of HAVE to get a Mora...)
Question:	Is there any difference in how easy these three knives are to sharpen or put an edge on ? Also is there any difference you have noticed in how well these knives hold an edge and how they performe carveing or wood working . The three knives I mean are the robust , the comapoin , and the compaion heavy duty .Thank You
Answer:	I myself have found the Mora Companion H.D. Is the one thats a prefect fit. Im 6ft 3" , 257 lbs An Have Large Hands ,, the Large Handle just feel more comfortable. Feels safer . I can get a firm grip on it , whether powering thru a Breast Bone or Pelvic Bone , my hands dont Slip .. The Knife cleans up really well after use .. An holds a Edge well , most times just 4-5 strokes on the wetstone is all it takes to bring the edge back , if stropping wont do it . An for the price you can beat it .. They could probably charge 2-3 times as much for this Knife... Now you aint going to be able to Baton 6" Dia logs with this Knife - it aint made for that . But as a all around knife nothing I've ever seen compares.
Question:	Which is a better bushcract or survival knife ? This or the robust

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the blade ratain solidly in the sheath no matter which way its facing
Answer:	Fairly good retention with the molded sheath
Question:	Can the pictues knife sheath be attached to your belt like a regular sheath, like does it have a regular belt loop
Answer:	Yes, it comes with two styles of attaching the sheath. It has one for a belt loop and one that can be attached to a molle system.
Question:	Does the blade ratain solidly in the sheath no matter which way its facing? Basically asking if its able to do left hand carry with the platic sheath
Answer:	Greetings.... Yes, it locks either way it is inserted and holds very well. With the Multi Sheath it is the same.... use it left or right handed.... my only concern about the knife I purchased is it does not have the Morakniv logo oneither side of the blade. I have a couple friends that have the same knife and they all have the logo. I contacted Mora and they stated they do not sell any unmarked knives as that is part of the inspection process. This one is identical to the others, boxing, build, weight and maintains an edge etc.... Even without the logo I would recommend this knife. I use mine but do not abuse it. It will last a very long time....
Question:	Pictures suggest it had a smooth spine I think amazon needs to check themselves cuz I know this knife has a sharp spine
Answer:	The spine’s back is smooth; however, the edges of the spine are sharp. It’s perfect for throwing sparks with a Fero Rod.

User questions & answers

Question:	how sharp does the knife come??? Does the sheath keep the knife held in place??? Will the back of this blade work with my fire steel
Answer:	The knives come sharp and hold an edge. The sheath holds the knife snug and the knife snaps in. I use mine as a neck knife. I filed a flat edge on the back of the blade next to the handle for that purpose and it works well. I love these knives and own several. I have given a lot away and everyone has loved them.
Question:	Is this knife full tang
Answer:	This knife is Pootie Tang.
Question:	is this knife good for salt water
Answer:	No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.
Question:	Why can't you ship to Ventura County, CA
Answer:	Despite what our opinionated Amazon friends from Texas might believe, California has some of the most permissive laws regarding knives in the entire country. However, local laws in LA County and Ventura County do not allow the possession of a knife greater than three inches. "Liberal" San Francisco doesn't have any of these restrictions, and it is 100% legal to open carry a samurai sword on Market Street. My recommendation is that you have the knife shipped to a friend in SF or the Central Valley. Hope this helps!

Product description

The Morakniv Bush craft Pathfinder is one of the sturdiest and largest outdoor knives Mora has ever offered. The razor sharp, burly 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) high carbon steel blade is treated with a protective tungsten DLC anti-corrosive coating that also provides a distinctive black look. The 6.75-inch blade is the longest in the Morakniv Bush craft family and is particularly well-suited for survival applications such as batoning. The 90-degree spine of the blade has also been specially ground for use with a fire starter and for making tinder shavings. Mora knives made from high carbon steel achieve high hardness, sharpen easily and are exceptionally tough. High carbon steels are preferred in applications that demand durability and frequent regrinding. The material is harder than stainless steel, allowing it to hold a sharper and more durable acute edge. Mora Knives are made from high-quality carbon steel, which is characterized by ultra-fine carbides that result in superb forging and hardening properties. A double-molded rubber handle is ergonomically-designed to be comfortable and durable while offering finger protection and ant-slip performance. The Bush craft Pathfinder includes a heavy-duty Nylon MOLLE-compatible sheath reinforced with plastic and secured with a snap closure. Blade length: 6.75" (171 mm); Blade thickness: 0.125" (3.2 mm); Total length: 11.6" (295mm); Weight: 8.8 oz. (249g). Made in Sweden.

User questions & answers

Question:	The picture shows a black coated blade. Is this knife black
Answer:	It is black. The blade appears to be coated with a hard finish. It is carbon steel.
Question:	I have a concern i bought 2 4.3 companions and 2 pathfinder blades and one set says carbon steel on the blade but the other set only say carbon
Answer:	Same steel, great knives. You'll enjoy them for a long time. Will say even Moras stainless is a very nice quality and depending on weather where you live could serve a great purpose.
Question:	What is the purpose of the strap on the back of the sheath? Just received mine & love the knife, just curios
Answer:	I believe the purpose of it is to attach the sheath to your ankle and/or backpack.
Question:	Why does Mora build the Bushcraft Pathfinder knife as a partial tang? Why not a full tang
Answer:	A Mora needs a full tang as much as a Ferrari needs a huge engine. What matters are the strength of the steel, the strength of the handle, and the knife construction. More tang would add unnecessary weight. Moras are easy to use because they function as lightweight, oversized, and super-tough razor blades........or splitting wedges: There is a video online of someone batoning 4 inch thick branches with a Mora 731, which has a blade width of 1/10" and a partial tang. I cringed while watching the video. Nothing happened to the knife or the handle. Nothing came loose. Mora has a tang similar to a rat tail, with the tang gradually tapering instead of having a Kabar-like square shoulder. The Mora taper removes a critical stress point. All embedded in a handle that is the "titanium" of synthetics. Don't let the partial tang fool you. You will have unparalleled performance to look forward to.
