No Waffle. Precise and to the point! Thank you!

The kansbol is great for farmers, hunters, fishermen...and I think it was made for these people. Unless you're deep into bushcraft, the garberg is overkill. For daily usage on the farm, when hunting, fishing...the kansbol is much more versatile and useful.

Definitely the best video I've seen, agree with the conclusions made. I think for most people the kansbul or even the companion are definitely adequate for their tasks. I would like a knife that can baton wood if necessary in case I lose my hatchet, and the garberg is the tool I choice for that. It's not too much bigger than the companion either, so fine camp tasks are also do able. I do think it's pricey, but definitely not unjustifiable. One thing I don't like about the garbarg is that the blade isn't sharpened all the way to the handle like the rest of the moras. I suspect they chose to do this because the garberg is so thick that they think people might use it to pry, so they left it thick where the most likely snapping point is. I still wish they didn't, because the crowd buying the garberg probably knows better than to pry with their knife, but again I see why.

Really good and objective comparison between these two knives. Thank you for doing this!

[zoltan]

I agree with the others that this is a very good comparison and really informative for the average person. I missed one little thing: The Mora knives i saw are not true skandi grinds, they all had a really tiny micro-bevel. That’s a pro because true scandi tends to roll even with light batoning but the Mora’s micro stays true. For example my ColdSteel FinnHawk had issues with edge rolling but the Kansbol not and when I inspected the edges I found that microbevel. After copying that to the FinnHawk then the rolling issues were solved.

Both great knives so I bought them both.

[Survve_Thrive]

One thing puts me off both. I really like the belt clip found on the Companion sheath and others. It is easy to add an additional loop but not to add that clip.

❤ great review. a thousand thanks, my friend

[arubanjames]

THANK YOU! I’ve spent hours looking for this info! I would like the same video for the other style Mora’s.

[umakako]

Good informative video, but the garberg is 3.2mm thick i believe

[javierr.g]

Hello good, a question. When sharpening the Garberg you do it according to the scandi angle or you do it by the microbevel that comes from the factory. Thank you!!

[samdeur]

moest wel even goed luisteren toen je zij Knif. huh dacht ik hij bedoelt toch niiife als uitspraak .. althans zo hoor ik het graag. maar net review.. ik zit te twijfelen over beide.. aantal goede punten complimenten.. ook leuke winkel trouwens.. al vaak gekocht bij jullie..EDIT; grappig mora moet het zelf ook Knif qua uitspraak hahah zag net hun factory filmpje

[scottwilkinson]

I just found your channel and I really enjoyed how you presented both knives. I also watched your Eldris knife video. Have you done a video on the flexible neck kit?

[tylergoldstein]

I wish the Garberg came in the green color.

[TheAustralianx]

Ive got my food prep knives so ive bought the garberg

[ml]

Kansbol for bbq and dutch oven cooking 😊

[luisloya]

The Robust is the most cost effective morakniv

[stealthmanofthewoods]

j'ai le kansbol je le trouve trop fragile surtout a la pointe, le garberg est le plus fiable des deux

[whynottalklikeapirat]

Enough of this pesky modern Kansbolculture

[daneofarrell]

Great comparison, think I’ll stick with the Garberg.




Totally unrelated. You should shave your head. And I say that with the utmost respect and hope to hell that doesn’t put you down. Without a doubt a bald head would suit your face. Anyway cheers again for the review and again, I hope this comes across as a genuine and not mean/jerky.
