I was out by a commercial fishing supply house today and dropped in to see what they had in the way of Mora knives. I found one of the newer Mora Companion knives and liked it enough to buy one. It has some improvements over the older Moras, with a thicker blade (0.98") and a rubbery coating in the handle. The top of the blade is finished with a good right angle so it can be used for scraping a firesteel. It weighs 4.1oz with the sheath. I paid $15.28, tax and all. My only complaint is that the sheath is right hand only.

This is a perfect knife for everyday trial use. It is excellent for food prep, cleaning a trout, or general repairs. I wouldn't be afraid to baton small stuff with it and it will certainly make fuzz sticks and shavings for fire building.

Details:

*Blade is 3-7/8" long x 13/16" wide x 0.098" thick Sandvik 12c27 Swedish Stainless Steel Hardened to 57HRC
*9" long overall with sheath
*Traditional Scandinavian ground blade profile delivered razor sharp
*Slip resistant flexible plastic overmolded handle grip
*Secure plastic sheath with belt clip fits belts up to 1-3/4" wide

Nice knife. I have the stainless one coming. I have had the carbon version for about a year. Good edge and quality as always delivered by Mora for a good price. Does everything you need it to, realistically speaking.

During a brief period when I thought I wanted to be a bushcrafter, I bought a Mora 'All-Around' with a 4" carbon blade. I don't dare carry such a heavy knife backpacking (a 4.5oz knife?! OMG) but I really enjoy having it for car camping and fishing.
In retrospect, the SS version is a much better choice than carbon steel, it requires so much less maintenance, and I'm an idiot for thinking I would ever need carbon steel to start a fire with.
I think I paid $15-16 bucks from Amazon for mine.

Edit: I can't spell. Need Coffee.
