Mora Knives

[jamesneuen]

I picked up this bundle of knives last year

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W6MQ0WW?keywords=mora%203%20knife%20bundle&qid=1446073760&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1


I got them on sale for $30 and figured I couldn't go too wrong because they had good reviews.

Took the heaviest one underway with me on the boat and it rusted the first day I got some salt spray on me. I was super angry until I remembered the comments about that happening. So I did some parkerizing while underway by putting some vinegar in my nalgene and letting the knife sit in it for a few days.

It came out slate grey, needed an edge put back on it and oil. Since then I have had ZERO complaints! I have beat the snot out of the heavy knife and used the other two around the house and office. I ended up giving the smaller one to a coworker because their blade snapped while unpacking crates. He let his rust so I showed him the vinegar trick and now he loves it too.

Their handles are budget but their steel is fantastic! I would recommend these to anybody that is looking for a good working knife.

tx for sharing!

First live review I've seen on these. I looked at one in a store and it just felt too light to me. Having researched them more, the metal is probably among the best out there. Can't beat the price either. I most likely will be picking up one or more of these. They have more models than I realized.
Thanks for the review

Pictures, of course. It's all about ocular gratification these days. lol. I am truly amazed with these. I wish the parkerizing had turned out better but what else can you hope for in the middle of the Caribbean?

Morakniv Craft Robust Carbon Steel Fixed Blade Knife: Blade Thickness: 0.125" is the one that I have abused the hell out of. It's thicker than the other two in the group, heavier but by far my favorite. The lightest one is missing as it is still with my coworker.

nicely done!

I didn't mean to offend, I am interested in Parkerizing a couple things and want to see the end result. My next question was about your process, but now I'm scared...

lol

[jamesneuen]

Apple cider vinegar in a nalgene bottle, rocked back and forth by 4 foot waves and 6 foot swells, for 3 days. Take it out, scrub lightly with a towel and immediately drench in 50w oil.

[Sniper-T]

that is simple enough. now I just need oceanic swells in the middle of the prairies!

lol

[jamesneuen]

Lol throw it in your bath tub and splash around for a bit

[Sniper-T]

yeah... um... the wife has issues with me bringing knives into the tubby!

[jamesneuen]

That's why it's in the nalgene

[realist]

So if you are in the bath making waves, and you have the knives in the Nalgene does that count as protection........

[Sniper-T]

You'll be the first to know if the protection fails. Except in this case you may not ever have to worry about kids again...

I love my Mora blades

three years and the knives are still going strong!!!

I too like Mora Knives. One of my co workers turned me on to them and I have never looked back.

Mora Knives are an excellent resource for the monies and should I lose or damage one I am not out a great quantity of monies.

Not that I would want to damage or abuse a good tool but I have noted the same with my Baofeng radios...I would not be out a lot of monies...and these radios work fine for my purposes. So too with the Mora Knives.


I have of recent also purchased two of the heavy duty Mora Knives and you can tell the difference in the thickness of them.
I have never regretted the purchase of these Mora Knives ..either in Stainless or Carbon Steel.


Thanks,
