Mora Knives for Hunting?

[Blacktailbowhunter]

Anybody on here use a Mora for hunting? During my research most people seem to use them for bushcraft and talk about how they would be a good hunting knife, but don't actually use em'. I finally picked up a Mora after years of hearing about how great they are for the price. I picked up a Mora 511. It's lightweight, has a carbon steel blade that holds a great edge and is easy to resharpen and only costs $10 bucks. Seems legit! It's way lighter then my Bark River and I wouldn't be super bummed to lose it. What to y'all think?

I've rolled with a Mora. They work like a champ. You'll likely have to stop and sharpen it...but so what? They're carbon steel and sharpen easy.

I made my one and only knife using a Mora blank...I love that thing.

A Mora is one of those pieces of gear that just works.

+1 for Mora
Great knife, lightweight, scandi grind easy to sharpening, hold edge well. I do have few knives, some of them custom. But my Kansbol accomplish me almost everywhere I go.

I bought a couple a while back and the are cheap and came sharp as hell. I have a favorite belt knife that I carry more often but they don’t seem like a bad option, especially at 1/10 the price. I keep mine in my processing kit now and they do just fine.

For the $ you cannot beat a Mora in the field. Good all around blade. Scandi grind is fine for field prep if that’s all you have with you. Wash and wipe dry or it’ll rust on you.

Yep, mora is what I use. I lose things too easily to spend too much on a knife. Works great for breaking down and deboning game.

I've got some spendy knives that I like but most often take two Moras with me for moose butchering. I have one of the larger, more expensive Moras that I use a lot. Can't beat em for the $$$$.

I liked my 511 so much I picked up another mora. I got the Pro C. It's basically the same as the 511, but has a wider blade and a rubberized handle. I like that it has a little more belly. The 511 weighs 3.9 oz with sheath and the pro c weighs 4 oz with the sheath.

I have several of em mostly the bushcraft, I always have 2-3 laying around. I don't carry them in the field but they are definitely in the truck and ready for separating meat once it's back in camp.

When I take whitetail around the house I usually grab a Mora first, just to keep my other knives sharp.

I have a more knives than I like to admit..

End of the day, Morakniv is pretty darn hard to beat.. I have a garberg, kansbol, companion, bushcraft black, robust, classic no1, eldris.. you name it..

The morakniv community is full of wonderful people, and the knives show it.

I carry one in case my havalon breaks and for general use. I was pleased how sharp I could get it using the worksharp field sharpener. Even a dummy like me can sharpen the scandi grind.
