Morakniv Kansbol Fixed Blade Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade

Great knife. Having a fire steel and sharpener attached to the sheath is super.

Got this knife after watching some YouTube videos on survival budget knives. Took it camping and did great for any project. A must have if you hike or backpack.

What can I say? I like Moras... The Kansbol (center) is an excellent tool. If you want a cutter, this is it. With the two different grinds on the blade, this thins out at the end and is hair popping sharp. Im not sure I would baton with this (unlike with the Mora Robust) due to the thin end of the blade, but it makes up for it in detail work/cut-ability. Ive had and used Moras for years and as yet, have not had one fail at any task despite not having a full tang. These are excellent, affordable knives and in my experience, up to any task you put before it.

- Size: The size of this knife is great for most outdoor activities. It is a little over 4 inches long and 2.5mm (3/32”) wide. Without the sheath, it is 8-7/8” long. With the sheath, it comes to 9-1/2” long. Sheath is 1-5/8” wide. The whole kit weighs just 6.2 ounces (177 grams)! - Steel: As the blade is made of stainless steel, it should hold up quite well outdoors and in humid conditions. I like this as stainless steel holds its edge well while withstanding moisture. Morakniv has two types of stainless steel they use, 12C27 and 14C28N, hardened to HRC 56-58. The exact type is not listed anywhere. - Handle: The light-colored material on the sides is hard plastic, while the darker wrapping material has a rubber-like feel and grip. - Sheath: The polymer sheath fits and protects the blade nicely. There are two holes in the bottom for draining water and letting the inside of the sheath ‘breath.’ I love that the sheath color matches the handle color. I got the orange version which makes it hard to lose while outdoors. - Attachments: Both the belt loop and the fire starter hold fast to the sheath but can be detached with a firm tug. This allows for lighter gear/knife when the extra items aren’t necessary. - Tang: The knife is not a full tang knife, but like most Moraknivs, the tang ends about 2/3 up into the handle. This type of tang lightens the knife’s weight while keeping it firmly attached to the handle. You can see the tang profile on the company’s website. - Fire Starter: This baby works great! Just scrape off the protective paint, and the exposed Ferro rod offers a big spark to help start a campfire. What is great is the back of the knife has a 90-degree grind which makes sparking a fire with the rod so much easier and more convenient. Perfect for any survival situation. - Belt loop: I really like this style of belt loop as it keeps the handle of the blade lower than your rib cage. This is important because if you slip and fall, you don’t want the handle of your knife to ram upward and clobber your bottom rib. - This is a first-class knife that is useful for any outdoor activity. It works great for hunting, hiking, camping, scouting, bushcrafting, outdoor survivalist, etc. - Trusted name: Morakniv is a well known name and has been associated with quality knives for many decades. The company has a long track record of making quality knives. The above review is for Morakniv Kansbol w/ Survival Kit

Good price. Great knife for all needs.

My new favorite knife. It is MUCH lighter than I expected! It’s seems to be tough as nails, Comfortable, and looks good. This is my first mora. After Using it. It definitely won’t be my last.

When I chose this knife to review, it completed my Morakniv collection; I now have every major knife Morakniv offers. Comparing this knife to every other knife in Moraknivs line up, the Kansbol is closest to the Garberg in terms of performance and design. Kansbol vs. Garberg: 1. The Garberg is full tang, the Kansbol is not. 2. The blade thickness on the Garberg is around .5mm thicker than the Kansbol. 3. The stainless steel version of the Garberg is slightly better than the Kansbol (The Garberg maintains an edge slightly better). 4. The Garbergs tang extends into a pommel. All of the above differences are minimal, outside of the full tang. Theres not one situation Ive been in where Id be hesitant to grab by Kansbol instead of my Garberg. Would I ultimately choose the Kansbol over the Garberg if performance and features alone where my primary concerns? No, the Garberg is still a superior knife. Would I choose the Kansbol over the Garberg if performance in conjunction with price were my primary concerns? Yes. The fact is, this knife is about 90% of what the Garberg is at around half the premium. Bottom line: In most situations, the Kansbol is all the Morakniv youll ever need. 5 stars

just used one in the kitchen at camp in Wyoming. Was so great and versatile, that i bought one one at camp for when i got home.

The knife itself is amazing, the mollie mount is pretty useless at least for me

I wanted something in a Mora that could be just as at home in the kitchen drawer in the sheath dry and clean as out in the field. The Kansbol fits the bill like a glove. It came RAZOR sharp. The thinner point allows for precision cuts , working with meat or vegetables, plenty strong enough for light batoning making kindling and shavings. Easy to sharpen on a flat ceramic stone or hone with a DMT rat tail fine red diamond rod by eye, or round ceramic rod. Stays in the sheath, its not just going to fall out on you. Any negative would fall to the color, IMHO it needs to be a brighter safety orange in case of loss for field work, but I have paracord, no deal breaker there. Finish was a tad rough but hey its a Mora. I mean you are going to hone it, clean it , polish it if need be with something right? Semichrome, Flitz, RENWAX...wash it, dry it, food grade mineral oil, wipe down and store. I like it better than the Companions (I know right? Blasphemy) Great tool for the price. Theres a red one out now, when it hits Amazon I may pick it up too!
