CONCLUSION
Some stuff deserves considered deliberation. The Morakniv Companion 860 in Stainless or Carbon Steel is not one of them. If you go outdoors, hike, walk, camp or do sporty stuff with ropes etc. Get one (no! get one of each).
For routine general purpose, light kindling production, stick chopping for the stove, rope/para-cord work or any EDC duties that benefit from a strong, sharp, comfortable and reliable blade, the Mora Companion is the answer.
The value doesn’t stop there! The steel is so good that as you wear or patina your blade, long-term users will often remove the moulded rubber handle and insert the ¾ length rat tail tang in a custom rare-wood handle.
If you don’t already own one, be careful! WHEN you do, you’re highly likely to want Mora!
Great job Morakniv, really… great job!
