Mora Kansbol

From Sweden with love

Before you is a classic field knife, made in the traditional style of the Swedish manufacturer Mora. There are no decorations, decorative elements or additional functions here - harsh (one might even say Nordic) functionality and only practical elements. This is a Scandinavian knife with a universal shape, which can be used to sharpen a tent peg and skin game from a hunt. The only complaint is a rather impressive price tag, because even the metal here, albeit good (stainless steel Sandvik 12C27), is very common, and does not belong to the class of top knife steels. So there is a slight overestimation of the cost just for the brand.

Don't forget the flint!

An interesting feature that brings the model closer to hiking tools is observed on the butt. Actually, this part of the blade is not processed, and is quite wide and angular. This is done to use the butt as an armchair. Yes, with it you can easily strike a spark from a suitable material, and light a fire in the absence of matches or a lighter.

Micro-supply?

The cutting edge also has a distinctive feature - a micro-inlet. This is an additional sharpening line above the main one, necessary to increase the angle of the sharpened edge. On the one hand, this technology allows you to keep the factory sharpening longer. On the other hand, it significantly complicates the process of self-improvement of sharpness. First you have to sharpen the main blade, and then bring out this micro-inlet, and doing it manually is not easy.

In fact, this is a classic knife from Mora, with a slight bias towards field use. The blade, hilt and scabbard are standard for the product of this brand, and can boast of a fairly high quality.
