## Overview

Its ergonomic, oversized handle offers a secure, non-slip grip even in wet or cold conditions.

## Description

The Mora Companion Heavy-Duty Knife is a powerful tool made for bushcrafters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. Suitable for batoning, it features a thick, 1/8-inch (3.2mm) carbon steel blade with a slightly blunter 27-degree edge angle for high load capacity and maximum sharpness resistance. It also has an extra-large ergonomic handle with a soft high-friction grip. A classic scandi grind and high-quality carbon steel construction make it easy to sharpen. Off-grid knives made from high carbon steel achieve high hardness, sharpen easily, and are exceptionally tough. Harder than stainless steel, high-carbon steels are preferred in applications that demand durability and frequent regrinding due to their ability to hold a sharper, more durably acute edge. Our carbon knife steels are characterized by ultra-fine carbides that result in superb forging and hardening properties. The absence of large carbide deposits promotes excellent edge sharpness for optimum cutting performance.

Review: Great general purpose knife for around camp. Nice thick blade. Holds edge well. Just keep blade clean avoid spotting. Hi vis makes finding easy. Great little knife.
Review: I'm a bit a bit of a knife snob. A good knife, I assumed, started somewhere north of $100. But having seen these knives on desertcart on quite a few occasions got my curiosity up. I have always believed that a strong fixed blade knife design is my first choice for nearly all purposes, and with the rave reviews posted, decided to give this knife a full hunting season of use. As of yesterday, my hunting season ended with a young cow elk which was quartered for packing out. This brought the total of work for this knife, this season, to: 3 bull elk, 7 cow elk, 4 buck mule deer, 150+ pheasants, 23 chukar, and a lost count of waterfowl. Oh, and fish galore. Yes, I am actively involved in the outdoors and hunting, and the assisting of others in the same pursuits. I think that I can say that I put this knife through more use to this point in time than most will ever see. This knife is just flat incredible. Anytime you are cleaning and processing game, your knife is going to become wet and/or bloody in some way. The ergonomics of a knife will either shine positively, or fail miserably. In all conditions, this has been the most comfortable knife that I have used. Ever. Never was an unsure grip a problem. The rubber/plastic grip material always retained a grippy feel to it, offering great purchase, even in cold freezing conditions. The blade itself is maybe the most amazing part of this knife. It is made of a 1095 steel, suitably hardened to a level that I am not aware of, that holds an edge, in my experience, fantastically well. Knowing that this was a carbon steel blade, and would therefore rust if not cared for, I was curious to see the appearance of the blade after some use. Arriving with a signal mirror finish, after several head of game use, the blade showed no signs of rusting, but did show some staining from blood being left on the blade intentionally to see the results. Afterward the blade was buffed with steel wool, and given the boiling vinegar treatment to force a patina to the metal, resulting in a blade that hasn't stained since with the same treatment, and has not ever rusted. Upon arrival, the blade was nice and sharp, almost shaving so. I then stropped the blade with green compound which brought it up to shaving quality (arm hair). The knife was used on two successive elk, and one deer, before any re-sharpening was done. This involved gutting, quartering, and boning out meat from these animals. I would normally strop a blade between animals to retain a shaving edge, but went three to determine at what point the edge became dull enough to make work difficult. It didn't. While it did lose it's shaving quality edge, the edge never dulled to a degree to render it unusable, or dangerous. Sharpening this blade has never required more than stropping with grey and green compounds from Bark River knives. Again, this blade has never once seen a stone or other sharpening device other than a stropping board, with the above mentioned compounds. That, ladies and gentlemen, denotes a blade steel of outstanding quality! This knife has far outperformed almost every knife that I own. I don't own a knife with a more comfortable grip for all-conditions use. I certainly own more expensive knives made with blade steels that perform no better, and worse, than this blade. At the absurdly inexpensive price point of this knife, I have not come across a better value, and am happy to make it known to friends, clients, and all others, that they really should own this knife! If you are a user of knives, you really have no good excuse not to.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 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...**
A: 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.

**Q: Is this knife roughly the same or maybe even better than the Bushcraft knife?**
A: Both the Bushcraft Black and the Companion Heavy Duty have a 3.2mm thick carbon steel blade.  The blade of the Black is slightly longer (4.3") than the HD (4.1") and it is also wider.  The Black also has a DLC (Diamond Like Coating) to aid in the prevention of rust.  The other apparent aesthetic differences are the handle grip and the sheath which will largely be a matter of personal preference.Performance-wise I would say they are very similar.  They both seem to be good to great at most bushcrafting tasks though I would probably give a slight edge to the black for batoning with the slightly longer and wider blade.  With either knife maybe limit the log diameter to 3-1/2" to 3-3/4" max.  Both should hold an edge very well and sharpen fairly easily with the Scandi grind on both knives.  Perhaps the most significant edge for the Black over the HD besides the coating (DLC) is the fact that it comes with the spine ground to a sharp 90 degrees allowing for sparking with a ferro rod.  The HD can also made to spark as well with a minor modification of filing or grinding down the spine slightly.The biggest difference is the price.  The Black will run you $50 - $55 on Amazon right now while the HD has been in the $17 - $19 range.  You will have to decide whether the Black is worth nearly 2-1/2 to 3 times more than the HD.

**Q: is it full tang?**
A: Is not a full tang

**Q: mora heavy duty better then the basic Mora knife. thanks**
A: I am not sure what you mean by the "better than basic Mora Knife.   However, the Knife above is a very heavy duty knife.  comes with a plastic sheith that locks the knife down well.  The knife itself has a very thick spin....overall, I was very pleased with my purchase of it.

*by M***3 on 8 February 2014*

My knife arrived today, a day later than expected but given the terrible weather and flooding etc. delivery was delayed and that's life I guess. Well done to Amazon for flagging this possible delay on their website. The knife is very well made, not too big, the blade looks strong and the handle has a very good feel in the hand. The scabbard/sheath has a good positive belt loop that should hold it in place under normal use. When the knife is inserted into the scabbard, it sort of clicks in and is held in place and will not fall out even if you turn it upside down. The blade looks like it has been polished (it looks like stainless steel but is marked as carbon steel) but it has not been sharpened so make sure you have an appropriate means (sharpening stone, grinder) to put a sharp edge on it. I ordered this knife based on the reviews and since ordering I have read even more positive reviews. All good. I'll give the knife 5-stars now and if necessary I will update this review when I've used the knife for a while.
