Morakniv Craftline Pro S Allround Fixed-Blade Knife with Stainless Steel Blade and Combi-Sheath, 3.6 Inch

This is a very comfortable, affordable, and practical knife! I have had this knife for about one year now, and have used it for bushcraft, cook preparation, fishing, backpacking, and miscellaneous work on a farm. This little guy has kept up and then some! Before I purchased this MORA, I had only one -- the MORA Light My Fire. I hadn't received it as a promotional gift and simply had never taken that one out adventuring. But this all changed when I saw the prices for these Moras. I purchased this Craftline Pro S (Stainless Steel) for a mere $10 and decided to take it straight out to the field. It's first test was a three night backpacking trip through snow, blizzards, heavy rain, and lot's of mud in the Cascade Mountains. It preformed marvelously.The design of the hard plastic sheath made it ideal for strapping anywhere on your pack. I had it on the shoulder strap. I loved the weight! It's lighter than some folding blades. It took to ever task. Now, it's not necessarily something I would baton with, but the Sandvik Steel is surprisingly strong. And sharpening the scandi grind is a breeze.I totally stand by this knife. However, it is only around the $10 price mark, so there will be a few trade off's. A lot of people do NOT like the plastic sheaths. I can understand that, but their are some benefits, such as using this knife for a water excursion (took it on a raft trip down the John Day River, OR) and not having to worry about damaging the sheath or blade. The handle is the same way. Molded plastic handles means gutting fish is A-OKAY, but from the pictures I provided, you can see where I have damaged the pommel end.After purchasing this knife, I promptly ordered a handful of carbon steel blades from MORA. There is sooooo much to enjoy from this blade. If you really don't like the handle, orders some blanks. For the price, this is one of the best fixed blade knives out there.

Update:Bought more of these. I use them around the house (several different models), keep them in vehicles for emergencies, have them stowed in gear bags as backup/loaner knives and give them as gifts. Since they are so comfortable in hand, are fairly durable and cheap, rust resistant and are easy to sharpen, they are great first knives, especially for the young ones. All of mine have even grinds, sharp edges and perfectly finished handles. The sheath retains every specimen I have purchased solidly with a good snap into it, and you can hang it on any button protruding from your outer wear in cold weather instead of fishing around for it hanging from your belt under your jacket. What’s not to like? They are a great choice for a light, smaller stainless blade with a full size comfortable handle.Hard to add much more to other reviews. Great basic steel and good build in a quality knife at a great price. Why buy sketchy Asian knives when you can get a solid Scandinavian tool for just as cheap! This is a great first knife. It’s also cheap enough to have multiple tools stored around - in the kitchen, garage, all your vehicles and in your bug out bag. Buy a couple.

The Morakinv ProS knife is excellent. It's light, elegant/functional, and locks nicely in its sheath without rattling with a positive feeling "click" in place. While it is securely held in place, the knife is easily removed from the sheath with a firm tug or by pushing against the sheath with the thumb in a controlled manner. It is razor sharp out of the package.I have a heavier camp knife for wood prep tasks honestly, and though I have confidence in the construction of this knife, my larger knife is more for patoning small pieces into smaller pieces (I also have a Silky Pocket Boy folding saw) this Morakniv is intended for food prep. This is why I went with Stainless and a plastic sheath.My other knife is 1095 steel and will be coated in oil and is currently sheathed in leather. I do not intend to contaminate food with oil, get that knife constantly wet with washing, or get my porous leather sheath moldy or full of materials I can not easily clean out of it. The Plastic sheath is much easier to clean, I have no worries about constantly washing the ProS, and for cleaning fish, skinning and field dressing wild game, chopping veggies, I think it's an ideal companion knife.I may still get the Bushcrafter model as a back up knife, because I will be patoning and essentially abusing my other knife (and basically to match my camelbak, but the color of the ProS compliments the orange pack and my pack also features blue -I am a dork).The ProS weighs next to nothing! It clips into the chest strap of a Camelbak Lobo pack ahead of an elastic expansion section that locks the sheath from sliding across the strap. I don't notice the knife whatsoever when mountain biking. When it's time to setup camp and forage for fire materials and tinder, (dead birch everywhere around here) my knife is right on my hydration pack!
