Morakniv Craftline Robust Fixed-Blade Knife with Carbon Steel Blade and Combi-Sheath, 3.6 Inch

Some have difficulty reconciling this shorter knife w/other Moras i.e. the most popular Companion. I did at first. The new Mora Pro Robust is thicker than it and the little Mora 511. It's as thick as the Companion HD (for Heavy Duty) which is a 1/3rd price-increased, color-changed, slightly-wider-angled-edge version of the original Mora Robust High-Q. The "replacement" Craftline Pro Robust has a wider blade than all those other Moras. The blade also shares the HD's slightly wider cutting-edge angle for heavier-duty edge retention. One minor drawback is it's only about 1/2 tang vs 3/4 tang as many if not most Moras are. Still, this is a strong knife w/a secure, multi-purpose profiled, blade. Face it; none of these are meant to be pry bars. Moras are often described with the qualification of being great if not the best"for the money." They are inexpensive, yes, and I refer to them as repurposed steak knives, but they are quality for what they are. OK, I add a hair band to all my Moras' sheaths to help insure retention in the plastic sheath. The new Pro Robust costs proportionately less than the Companion HD. The Robust's short, sturdy blade and the handle with significant finger guard up front plus the exaggerated pommel are especially useful under hard use and for younger people afield in my opinion. It is arguably somewhat safer to use than the others as far as control. It has a nice rubbery grip. It is not threatening; its size, including blade length, and color-scheme are subdued and utilitarian vs. militaristic. Indeed this knife is designed for working men and it's my first choice now, my "dumb reach" when I know I'll need some kind a knife to do tasks. It's sharp out-of-the-box and an easily sharpened Scandinavian grind quality Swedish steel. I just gave one to a budding Eagle Scout with an earned Totin' Chip patch for his Summer excursions. This is a great, budget, introductory and/or basic fixed blade knife that is earning the respect of demanding bushcrafters (who also own a file to square the spine for striking fire rods). You really can't be disappointed with this knife -- it's impossible, they're so good and affordable for what they are.

Sturdy little knife ! This knife came sharper than any knife I've ever bought. I use knives a lot in the restoration of our 100 yr. old house. It occurred to me that a small, stout belt knife might be the perfect blade instead of abusing my cherished, yet inexpensive, collection of Kershaw, CRKT and Sarenmu folders. This knife fits the bill perfectly. Immediately upon opening the package I tested it on some thick leather scraps left over from some knife strops I make and sell. This knife cut through it better than a utility knife with a fresh blade. It practically push cut this tough leather. The sheath is perfect for what I'll be using this knife for and retention is good to go. Holding the knife upside down and shaking the hell out of it will cause to knife to come out slightly but not fall out. These retention tests I see frequently on Youtube are pretty ridiculous. I can't imagine ever hanging upside down with this knife on my belt and being violently shaken enough to worry about my knife falling out of the sheath. The knife feels great in hand. If I were to nitpick.....I'd like to have a sharpening choil as I can see that it's gonna be impossible to sharpen the blade where it comes out of the handle. And the crest shaped plastic piece on the front of the sheath that allows this knife to piggyback another Morakniv is pretty useless to me as it's gonna get snagged on things (and I'll never use it). I'll be trimming this piece off. The blade is really thicker than I need, but I guess that's a good problem. Perfect for what I need at a crazy good price. The way I care for my knives, this knife will surely last the rest of my life. Thanks Morakniv and Amazon !

I have an Al-Mar folding knife that I paid $140 for more than 25 years ago, and I think this is a better knife despite the fact that I paid less than $16 for it ... IF you keep in mind that this knife is designed as a tool and not as a pretty folding blade with fancy wooden sides. This is probably the sharpest knife, right out of the plastic bag that it comes in, that I have ever bought. With NO micro bevel. The bevel that you CAN see, starting about 1/3 of the way up from the edge, is sharpened from the start of the bevel all the way to the edge, providing an edge sharp enough to shave hair from your arm without appreciable effort. The "Robust" adjective given this knife is certainly well deserved. The handle has a rubbery feel that is certain to give you a very good grip although the gray plastic insert in the center of the handle is rather slick. The thickness of this blade is also certain to provide you with the greatest durability that can be had for a knife this size. The spine of the blade, has been left rough, ostensibly so that it will easily draw sparks from a ferrocerium rod, although I have found it impossible to do so on my 1/2" x 6" rod. No big deal, as I have a dedicated striker on the same lanyard as my ferrocerium rod. This is a Carbon Steel knife, which is a great plus for this knife. Carbon steel knifes keep their edge longer than stainless steel knives do and maintaining that sharpened edge is easier. The only thing that I have seen so far that I do not like about this knife is that there is no lanyard hole at the far back end of the handle. But again, no big deal as this is not a full tang knife, and I can easily drill a hole for a lanyard should I continue to lament its lack. My first action performed with this knife was to create a small pile of shavings from a piece of pine limb that is SO hard that I HAD to use a chain saw to cut off an 8 inch length so that I could use a freshly sharpened hatchet to split into kindling. The small piece of wood that I cut the shavings from is shown in the photo below. This tiny pile of shavings took a good 5 minutes to create, and when I was done with this high effort task, I could not tell the difference in how sharp the knife is compared to how sharp it WAS, fresh out of the shipping package. Despite the hardness of the wood. I normally give a maximum of 4 stars, in any review, thinking that there must be something better somewhere that just haven't seen yet, but I have, without any hesitation, given this knife a full five stars, as the quality of this knife, added to its remarkably low price make it a knife that truly deserves five stars. I do indeed LOVE this knife. I anticipate a great number of years of usage where this solidly built knife is concerned. I just cannot believe how satisfied I am with this very impressive knife.

Simply put, it's difficult to go wrong with a mora knife. I have many mora knives and they all still impress after years and years of use. This Morakniv Robust pro (not craftline model)has a blade of 22.23mm tall from cutting edge to the spine, thickness is 3.18mm and the blade length (cutting edge) is 86.84mm. The Robust pro bevel angle is 27 degrees which is more biting than the older 23 degree bevel of the longer and more narrow mora knives that have more flexible blades made of different steel. This Mora Robust Pro takes easy to a razor sharp edge and keeps it for a long time, and only requiring regular stropping to keep that hair shaving edge. This is a carbon steel blade knife so it does rust & or corrode, but keeping it clean and dry isn't particularly difficult. This Robust pro is more chisel like so it digs in more than the older mora's so it's not as good for debarking a tree to make a tent stake because it digs into the wood too much. However all other tasks are very quick with this knife such as making a point on a 1" thick piece of hardwood took under 10 seconds. The stainless version of this knife is the "Morakniv Pro S" and is made with 12c27 stainless steel which is better than the common stainless steels such as 440c. The Robust pro in it's sheath is very light and you don't event notice that's it's there most of the time. The only con i can think of is that the handle is too small for people with larger hands.
