Companion Heavy Duty Knife with Stainless Steel Blade, 4.1-inch

Excellent value for the money. The Morakniv company knows how to make a durable, comfortable and effective knife at a good price. Their quality Swedish steel, properly treated and ground carefully really makes this a good value. Handles are VERY comfortable for most users. The polymer sheath is not as good looking as a well-made leather sheath, but it is functional and requires less maintenance. Drain hole at the bottom of the sheath is very functional to keep the blade dry, which is important for all steels. This knife should be good for camping, bushcraft and hunting, and it is light weight.

Morakniv makes great knives. And then when you consider their price, they are actually incredible knives for the money. The quality is consistent to say the least. The steel is quite tough and keeps a good edge. I have several, two of which are over 10 years old and they show almost zero signs of wear. One of them is a carbon steel rather than stainless and has a beautiful patina, no rust. I use them for crafting, exploring, throwing for fun, etc and haven't had a bend or break. I have batoned pine, birch, and oak logs with them and the only damage is a knick here and there on the handle where I beat it out of a knotty log. The knife arrived in perfect condition/packaging

I think that it is a good knife for the money. It is sharp and very sturdy! I think that the composite handle and sheath will hold up well and that it will make a good camping and bushcraft knife. I have used it to make small splits off of log splits that were made with wedges or hatchet. I have a Billy club made out of hard heavy wood that I hit the back of the blade with to drive it down the split. riven splits follow the grain and are often stronger than sawn wood. I've also used it to peal bark from splits.

This was a gift for my 8 year old son to get into bushcraft with me. It’s a great first fixed blade with a lot of good qualities. Durable, SHARP, affordable, and light. A lot of people get hung up on the fact that it’s not full tang. Well, it can be used to baton wood as long as you use your head and don’t try to use it like a shingle froe. Get the right tool for the job. It’s fine for LIGHT battoning, especially the heavy duty version with the slightly thicker blade. It excels at all other bushcraft tasks including carving, meal prep, feather sticks, etc. The stainless will throw sparks thanks to the 90 degree grind on the spine, but it’s not a shower of sparks as you get from the high carbon versions. The Sanvik stainless is great if you’re going to be in a high moisture environment, keeping it in a pack for a while, or if you’re looking for a very forgiving first fixed blade. Only issue I have is that it’s difficult for my son to remove from the sheath for two reasons: 1) he’s left handed and it’s a right hand carry sheath, and 2) he’s 8. The positive retention on the knife is a good thing, just makes it difficult for him to use and can lead to safety issues for him. Simple solution to this: leather sheath with a snap closure. I don’t believe the sheath is ambidextrous as my other Moras are. It’s a trade off you’re going to have to consider if you’re a left hand carry type. I guess if it were me, I’d make it work so I can have a high quality affordable blade with a great reputation like the Mora.

I bought this for someone else but you just have to look up video reviews for this knife on other websites to see their full potential. This version of the Companion Heavy Duty said it had a bigger handle on the package, so that was unexpected, but the person has big hands so it's good. He's a big strong guy so the extra thick Heavy Duty is a good workhorse knife for him. Stainless Steel from what I've seen in videos actually have a slightly better edge retention than the High Carbon version, so unless you want to blue or black your blade, there really isn't much reason to go High Carbon as they price around the same. The sheath is great and slim enough while being safe and hard. The handle is gripped and comfortable. The Companion Heavy Duty is my favorite Morakniv as it is only $20 but absolutely fantastic. The plastic handle is really high quality in addition to the excellent steel and heat treatment. The Garberg is the higher end version of the Companion but I think the Garberg is too much money, so I recommend the Companion instead even if you miss out on the full-tang. If the Garberg was under $50, I would say get that instead. The Companion is a very well-rounded knife, suitable for bushcraft and survival to cooking and letter opening. Like the name suggests, it's a good companion knife for just about any situation, and the low price makes it a winner with its extreme durability and ability to hold a sharp edge. Don't forget that you'll want whetstones and leather strops with polishing compounds to keep your knife sharp.

The knife is well made and definitely has a thick, strong blade. I chose the heavy duty model for general use outdoors where I want a strong all-purpose blade. I wear it on my belt along with other tools so I don’t have to unfold a pocket knife. I also like the large handle. Since the blade is much thicker than a usual blade, heavy duty might not be the best choice for someone who just wants a sharp knife. One criticism is that it was not very sharp out of the package. I had to spend a few minutes sharpening it, but it seems to hold an edge well. Also, my preference would be a scabbard that has a holder with a snap that could be released with the same hand I use to pull the knife instead of the "bump". All in all, I am very pleased with the quality for the price.

As usual, great value in terms of quality versus price. It's like the regular Companion but with a thicker blade and larger handle. Love the thicker blade, but not a fan of the larger handle. The swelling on the bottom is wider than the regular Companion. It's not as comfortable to hold. Otherwise, great knife. I would recommend the regular Companion over this.

I really like the companion HD in stainless. The blade is sweet, sharp, and my fishing knife, and in my tackle box, The edge holds up very well and will be a great long time companion. thank you for this knife Mora!

Es el cuchillo Morakniv de construcción más robusta que ha pasado por mis manos, si bien la hoja cuenta con 3.2mm de grosor, sigue siendo lo suficientemente delgada como para permitir hacer cortes finos al procesar alimentos o tallar madera. La hoja solo llega hasta 3/4 del mango, por lo que tampoco es un cuchillo indestructible, aunque si que servirá para casi todas las tareas de campismo, siendo complemento perfecto para una hacha o machete. La textura gomosa del mango le da un agarre muy solido y seguro, pero el grosor del mango es considerablemente mayor que el Companion estándar, lo que hace que se sienta incomodo con los primero usos en usuarios con manos medianas (si el mango fuera similar al del Kansbol sin duda mejoraría considerablemente el diseño) , supongo que es un producto directamente pensado para personas de mano grande, así que si su mano es chica, le sugiero ir por el modelo estándar. Su precio es bastante accesible aun más considerando su acero, si vives en una zona húmeda compra la versión inoxidable sin dudarlo. La hoja llego ligeramente mellada, posiblemente por una zona de fricción con el blíster y todo el ajetreo en el transporte hasta el destino final, aunque no es nada que no salga con un asentador de cuero.

Tolles Messer fuer's Grobe. Man kann damit nichts falsch machen.

El Mora Companion HD Black 13159 Heavy Duty (denominación oficial ) es una versión mejorada del Mora Companion estándar (Mora Companion MG Stainless verde, MO11827), diseñada para ofrecer mayor robustez y rendimiento en tareas más exigentes. Aunque ambos modelos comparten características clave, como el mismo tipo de acero Sandvik 12C27 (inoxidable, aunque el HD también está disponible en acero al carbono) y el afilado escandinavo Scandi, el Heavy Duty sobresale por su mayor grosor de hoja (3,2 mm frente a los 2,5 mm del modelo estándar), además de tener el mismo largo de hoja: 10,4 cm. El Heavy Duty es unos 8 mm más largo, lo que afecta solo al mango. Las características del Heavy Duty lo convierten en una opción más resistente para trabajos de mayor impacto, como batoning o uso intensivo en bushcraft. Además, ambos comparten la misma funda de polipropileno, de medidas idénticas, con clip para cinturón. Características principales del Mora Companion HD Black 13159.- 1. Acero Sandvik 12C27 ◦ El Mora Companion HD Black 13159 utiliza acero inoxidable Sandvik 12C27, con una dureza de 56-58 HRC. Es un acero de gama media, bien equilibrado, que ofrece buenas resistencia a la corrosión y retención de filo, lo que lo hace ideal para entornos húmedos o condiciones extremas. Su afilado no presenta problemas. 2. Diseño del mango ◦ El mango de goma negra ofrece un agarre ergonómico que proporciona comodidad durante largos períodos de uso.

Mayor grosor de la hoja ◦ Con un grosor de 3,2 mm, el Mora Companion HD es más robusto que muchos cuchillos de su categoría, lo que le permite soportar tareas más exigentes como el batoning o trabajos de bushcraft.

Portabilidad ◦ La funda de polipropileno con clip para cinturón es ligera y cómoda, permitiendo un transporte seguro y práctico del cuchillo. Aunque no es compatible con sistemas MOLLE, la funda cumple su función y mantiene el cuchillo accesible. 5. Afilado escandinavo (Scandi) ◦ Al igual que otros modelos de la línea Mora, el Companion HD Black 13159 está diseñado con un afilado Scandi de 13°, ideal para trabajos de precisión, corte de materiales naturales y tareas de supervivencia. Es un filo Scandi puro, no como algunos modelos de Hultafors que finalizan en un microbisel. El Scandi facilita el afilado al apoyarlo directamente en la piedra utilizando la misma base e inclinación del vaciado.

Con su acero inoxidable Sandvik 12C27, mayor grosor de hoja y afilado Scandi, ofrece una gran relación calidad-precio en su categoría.

Absolut brauchbares und zweckmäßiges Messer mit einem sehr guten Preisleistungsverhältnis. Sehr scharf und dadurch ebenfalls gut zum schnitzen geeignet. Gröbere Arbeiten wie Batoning (die Klinge könnte dafür länger sein) und Holzhacken (Das Messer könnte dafür schwerer sein) funktioniert ebenfalls ohne Probleme.

Good quality knife and very durable. I like that I don't have to worry about showing wear and tear on it. I like the handle material.
