Morakniv Bushcraft Survival Knife Features
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
SteelThe high carbon steel 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) thick blade is extremely sharp, durable, and is hardened to HRC 56-58 to better withstand stress on the blade when batoning. The black coating helps protects against corrosion. For further corrosion resistance, oil carbon blades after each use. |
Scandi GrindThe Bushcraft Survival has a Scandi grind which prevents the knife from slipping off easily, bites into the surface without getting stuck, are razor sharp and stay sharp for a long time. The blade is relatively thin making it easier to carve yet robust enough for batoning and other demanding outdoor activities. |
SheathThe Bushcraft Survival sheath has an integrated diamond sharpener and holds an included Morakniv Fire Starter. It also comes with a removable belt loop and belt clip that safely and securely hold your knife in place. |
Integrated Fire StarterThe included Morakniv Fire Starter locks securely into the durable plastic clamps on the Survival Sheath and is conveniently accessible when you need it. |
Morakniv Bushcraft Survival Knife Functions
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
BatoningBatoning is essential for obtaining dry wood inside of logs, or for splitting wood into smaller pieces used for kindling. With its razor sharp edge and robust 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick blade, the Bushcraft Survival is robust and sharp enough to tackle the toughest of your batoning chores. |
CarvingThe Bushcraft Survival is the ultimate carving tool with its razor sharp edge and balanced handling characteristics. It will allow you to precisely prep tinder, create feather sticks, carve shelter stakes, and process wood for various uses like collecting water or creating camp tools. |
Feather SticksA feather stick will help the Bushcrafter with fire starting and is essential when starting a fire with damp wood or without tinder. To create the best performing feather stick you need a knife like the Bushcraft Survival that has a razor sharp edge, is lightweight, balanced, and easy to use. |
Fire StartingBy pulling the specially ground spine of the knife slowly and forcefully down against the included fire starter, you can easily light dry grass, leaves, paper, bark and even your favorite gas grill or stove. |

Product description
The Morakniv Bushcraft Survival Black is an indispensable tool for a variety of outdoor, hunting, emergency, or tactical applications. High carbon steels are preferred in applications that demand durability and frequent regrinding and at the core is the Bushcraft Black knife with its razor-sharp, burly 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) thick carbon steel blade treated with a tungsten DLC anti-corrosive black coating. The scandi grind makes it a perfect Bushcraft knife as it prevents the knife from slipping off easily, bites into the surface without getting stuck, is sharp, and stays sharp longer. The 4.3-inch (109 mm) long blade is relatively thin making it easier to carve with. The Bushcraft Survival Black comes with a black plastic sheath that holds a Morakniv Fire Starter (included) and features an integrated diamond sharpener, making it easy to sharpen the blade. The plastic sheath with belt loop will keep the Bushcraft Survival Black securely at your side and has a net weight of 8.1 oz. (229 g). The spine of the blade is ridge ground so that it can be used with the Morakniv fire starter that lasts approximately 7,000 strikes and produces a 3,000 degree spark, even when wet. The ergonomic handle with high-friction rubber grip gives the feeling of control, making work easier and more enjoyable, as if the knife were an extension of your hand. To further avoid corrosion, clean and wipe knife dry plus oil the blade after each use. Limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. Made in Sweden.

This review is going to be a little long and a bit similar to my Garberg review. Short version is knife is 5/5 but I DISLIKE the sheath. I'll be more specific in the actual review.
I bought this knife at the same time as my Garberg which was purchased for an emergency bag, 72 hour kit, Bob, etc that my wife's sister asked me to put together for her. I don't recall if I bought this as a consideration for that kit or just for my own desire to check it out. Irregardless I own it now!!!
Typical of Mora's the knife arrived scary sharp! The blade has a beautiful black finish and the spines corners are a machinists wet dream. Perfect SHARP 90* corners that will do exactly what they were intended to do. Scrape your ferrocerium rod, bark from trees for tinder, processing tinder, etc all while preserving your blades cutting edge. They're perfectly executed!!!!
The handle/grip fills my hand out beautifully and feels very comfortable and grippy. Really the knife is very well done.
The knife isn't full tang but the typical 2/3 or so like most Mora's. That's not a detriment if you use your knife as a knife and not an ax. With proper technique it'll baton like the rest of the Mora line and hold up well.
The real issue for me is in just not feeling the sheath and I'm having a hard time quantifying it. I guess I'll take it over part at a time and let you make your own decisions....
Sheath comes with two options for belt carry. A clip over attachment and a rigid thread thru belt loop that reminds me of a dangler in a way as low as the sheath hangs. Both are fully functional but I dislike the quarter turn socket with ears they use to attach to the sheath. It just seems like a weak point to me. Maybe this is ignorance but I'm just not feeling that.
The ferrocerium rod slides into it's socket and is positively retained by a nub that sits over the edge of the handle. Simple and effective provided the user pulls the handle slightly to the side to clear that nub. Pretty simple and effective. I like it!
Diamond stone for sharpening... I didn't take other reviewers as seriously as I should have on how coarse this is. It's not really for keeping the blade sharp it's more for you done buggered up the edge badly and now you've got to do some repair sharpening!!! It's THAT coarse!!! You'd be well advised to carry a fine hone with you rather than rely on the attached stone. I'm not going to suggest that the attached stone is worthless but I am going to say I feel it lacks any real day to day utility.
It's also coarse enough that it your jacket hangs over it you're likely going to get some abrading.
While I appreciate the sharpener I'm just not feeling this one. If it was fine I'd cover it with gorilla tape and be happy.
Considering all this the only two parts of this system I'm really feeling are the knife and the ferrocerium rod.
For the $57.99 I paid I'm not going to outright say I regret buying it.
I will say that in the future I'll buy a Mora companion HD carbon for $15 and carry a fine diamond steel with a swedish fire steel in my pocket and feel like I've got a better package.
Since I've got this knife much like the Garberg I'm going to make my own sheath for it. I'll be into it for more than I want to be but then I'll have s knife system that's usable for me.
No two people are alike nor are their needs and requirements. I think Mora did a pretty good job putting together a package that will be useful and useable for most people. Looking at things objectively just because this system doesn't work for me I can't in good conscience deduct stars when looking at the big picture.
I bought my knife with my own money for full asking price off Amazon receiving no discounts, compensation, or sexual favors for my review. I review items I buy and use honestly in hopes to help others make better informed buying decisions. I spent the money so I try to help you decide if a product is right for you before you spend your hard earned money. It's my sincerest hope that I'm able to help someone out in this regard.
If you found my review helpful please let Amazon and others know by clicking yes. If you think it's a steaming pile then please I ask you to let them know as well. There's too many worthless junk reviews on Amazon that do nothing to help anyone and I don't want my review to be one of those!
Thanks for reading and I hope this helps someone out!
I created a feather stick from some very willing wood and after 20 minutes I had fire first.
The knife is solid with a good weight and balance. It cut every piece of wood I put before it and crafted a feather stick with ease. I have yet to do any batoning with this blade but based on my initial trial run don't doubt that's it's up for the task. It fits nicely on my belt with one of the two included clips and fits well in my gear bag. At a blade length of 4.3" and a total length of 9.1" it's the perfect size for 90% of the work anyone will do in the brush. Everyone has specialty blades for gutting, rendering, etc. The blade edge it extremely sharp out of the box and can be further refined with the included sharpener or your favorite wet stone.
Let's face it, most of us buying this knife and reading this review have many knives already. This is my new go-to for nearly everything I need. And at this price, it's a bargain.

I'm a knife collector, user and reviewer and I put the knives I get through some heavier paces to see how they will hold up if the demand is every put on them. No sense carrying a knife deep into the wilderness if it's not going to do what you need it to. I'm a big fan of Bark River, Blind Horse, ESEE and Fallkniven knives. Typically, I'm hesitant to recommend Moras to friends who are really heavy users because they lack the toughness and lifespan of full tang knives. In my experience the Sandvik steal has also be a tad soft, esp. toward the tip of the blade. This knife has changed my view of what a Mora can do.
For general camping - esp. car camping where everything is close by, etc. - any Mora is a great option and most other blades are a bit of overkill. The Mora I've most commonly recommended for general use in camp - opening packages, food prep, fish cleaning, rope cutting, etc. - is the Mora Bushcraft Force. The handle is comfortable and the knife is inexpensive and sharp. For those looking for a bit more strength, I've recommended other brands. [NOTE: Cody Lundin, a well-respective minimalist and survival expert has long used the Mora 1 and 2 as his knives of choice and has put them through some moderate tasks without little complaint.] I am certainly NOT saying a $15 Mora can't handle tougher tasks, but it's likelihood of failing in heavier use is higher than more robust and therefore, more expensive knives.
Enter the Mora Black.
This knife is what we all knew a Mora could be. It's basically the good ole Bushcraft Force, but with a thicker blade, tougher edge and in carbon steel. The knife is light enough to carry without noticing it, but heavy enough to usher in confidence. I put this knife through the ringer and it held its own very well. I happened to be testing it alongside a $160 and $225 knife and thought it wasn't a comparison, I couldn't help but admire how well the Mora did, esp. given the affordable price point. The short scandi grind makes for a tougher blade, but the zero edge allows it to be a wicked slicer.
It doesn't baton wood quite as well as $200 BRKT or even a $100 ESEE, but then again, it's not in the same price or build class and for around $50 with the fire steel, it's superb at this chore. For me, it's a little easier to make feathersticks with a convex or asymmetrical edge (like those that come on many Barkies or those I add to my other knives), but this certainly does a marvelous job and the scandi grind is actually the grind of choice for many bushcrafters, survivalists and traditionalists - it's simply preference.
The blade DOES, however, slice and notch as well or better than almost any knife I've used and that's saying something. It is a very strong blade for the price and it eats through all but the toughest tasks. It easily baton-chopped through a 4" tree for shelter prep, made kindling and tender with ease and threw sparks to get our warm fire going in about 20 seconds.
The handle is great for even long use and it's comfortable in most holds - though the protrusion behind the index finger, while being great for slip prevention and general comfort, can become annoying in chest-lever style grips. The material becomes only slightly slippery compared to many other materials when wet or bloody and I've never been fearful of it slipping - thanks in large part to that locking style finger protrusion.
The only complaints I really have with this knife are:
1.) I'm not a fan of plastic sheaths. Yes, they dry out quickly and are really no-nonsense, but I've always preferred free-hanging leather danglers myself.
2.) Full tang would be awesome.
There's not much to dislike about this knife. It's a cheap, fairly robust, sharp, convenient, simplistic workhorse. It's an admirable batoning blade, an incredible slicer, a remarkable feathersticker, a superb spark-thrower, holds an edge pretty darn well and restores relatively easily on strops for all but the deepest chips (which aren't really common in my experience) and is surprisingly rust resistant thanks to the coating - which is nice. The entire package weights less than many "survival" blades alone and with a far more comfortable handle than many of those.
Bottom line: Buy it. It's the best bang-for-dollar knife under $100 I've tested yet and in my Top 5 favorite knives overall. It does everything admirably and most things superbly. I wouldn't use it as a pry bar, but other than that, it's at home with virtually any task. If you want a sharpened pry bar and have $100+ to spend, look at the ESEE 4 and work your way up from there. If you're a Mora fan and have been curious, give it a go. It's not your traditional 1 or 2 design, but that superb Mora blade will bring a smile to your face and when you see what all it can do for the money, you might just laugh out load. I did.
Is this my FIRST knife of choice for wilderness use? No. But can I make it work for me if it's the knife I have? Absolutely.
I love this knife. There's simply no good reason not to.
Top reviews from other countries

PRO---------
Blade is hard enough that it hold it's edge very well
Sheath hold onto the knife with a firm grip, i added grip tape to the lip solely to ensure that it's locked into place
Handle is very comfortable and has just enough grip not to give blister after 3 hours of heavy use
Ferro rod works great against the back of the knife and shoots plenty of sparks and the claw clips grabs it almost too strongly
Belts clip and loop work great, even works with really thick and wide belts
CON---------
Carbon steel blade WILL rust if you don't dry it after use or if you don't store it with a thin oil coating, It looks really bad when its rusted
Up to your disgression if you choose to process foods due the the easily rusting blade

I have no idea what the grit rating might be on the sharpener might be, when new is seems fairly coarse but it's not been broken in yet. I will only use this is I need to correct a small portion of the edge (perhaps a minor edge rollover) but any major sharpening will be done back at camp or home with bigger diamond plates or water stones.
I haven't had a chance to get out camping with this knife yet (we are just finishing up the hay harvest for the year), but I am optimistic that it will prove to be a good durable knife for my purposes. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and read other online reviews prior to my purchase.



One thing I would like to point out is, I wish they gave you more belt clips, I like the one that is permanently close but It sucks having to take it off your pack and putting back on your belt.
