Question 1

is this knife 1095 carbonsteel and could you use it for batonning to process fire wood ?

Accepted Answer

I think there is some contention about the actual steel used, but yes, it is something very close to 1095 if not actually 1095.  At first when viewing online I could not get my head around why it was almost 3 times the cost of a Mora Companion HD...that is until I received it.  The knife is rock solid and does not have the softer laminated rolled steel that other common Mora knives have wrapped around a 1095 thin inner core layer.  This thing is a very strong knife and I would have no concerns batoning with it.

Question 2

Would this knife be better if it had a full tang? Yes, no, and why?

Accepted Answer

This is an old question, but I just want to chime in here with my 2 cents for whatever that may be worth, for anyone else viewing this question. I saw a YouTube vid of a guy who wanted to re-handle his Mora. Not only was he unable to break the handle off, but finally ended up having to take a sawzall and cut it off with the knife clamped in a vice. It still took another 5-10 minutes or so at that. It appeared that the handle was not just attached to the tang, but actually molded around it and is made out of a tough plastic. A VERY tough plastic.

Question 3

Is the 5.7 oz listed the kinfe alone or including the sheath too? If it is just the knive what does the sheath weigh?

Accepted Answer

The knife weighs in at 4.34 oz and the sheath is 1.4 oz

Question 4

I have the HighQ Robust Carbon Steel Knife, It is a little big for my hand, Is the bushcraft as big in the handle or no?

Accepted Answer

I have medium hands and own the Robust which is my least favorite Mora because of the palm swell. I just got the Bushcraft and the handle is day and night different, much more comfortable. It splits your index and middle fingers perfectly. It is still larger and gives me a handful but it doesn't have the lump in the middle feel I get from the Robust.  Don't get me wrong the Robust is the knife in my BoB and that will remain so. A least Favorite Mora is still a workhorse beyond most knives.
