MoraknivCraftline Pro S Allround Fixed-Blade Knife with Stainless Steel Blade and Combi-Sheath, 3.6 Inch

This is a very comfortable, affordable, and practical knife! I have had this knife for about one year now, and have used it for bushcraft, cook preparation, fishing, backpacking, and miscellaneous work on a farm. This little guy has kept up and then some! Before I purchased this MORA, I had only one -- the MORA Light My Fire. I hadn't received it as a promotional gift and simply had never taken that one out adventuring. But this all changed when I saw the prices for these Moras. I purchased this Craftline Pro S (Stainless Steel) for a mere $10 and decided to take it straight out to the field. It's first test was a three night backpacking trip through snow, blizzards, heavy rain, and lot's of mud in the Cascade Mountains. It preformed marvelously.The design of the hard plastic sheath made it ideal for strapping anywhere on your pack. I had it on the shoulder strap. I loved the weight! It's lighter than some folding blades. It took to ever task. Now, it's not necessarily something I would baton with, but the Sandvik Steel is surprisingly strong. And sharpening the scandi grind is a breeze.I totally stand by this knife. However, it is only around the $10 price mark, so there will be a few trade off's. A lot of people do NOT like the plastic sheaths. I can understand that, but their are some benefits, such as using this knife for a water excursion (took it on a raft trip down the John Day River, OR) and not having to worry about damaging the sheath or blade. The handle is the same way. Molded plastic handles means gutting fish is A-OKAY, but from the pictures I provided, you can see where I have damaged the pommel end.After purchasing this knife, I promptly ordered a handful of carbon steel blades from MORA. There is sooooo much to enjoy from this blade. If you really don't like the handle, orders some blanks. For the price, this is one of the best fixed blade knives out there.

This is a first impressions review of the Craftline Pro S by MoraknivToday I received 2 of these Mora Pro S knives. First, they arrived a day earlier than the earliest predicted date and in good condition. Thank you for the great customer service! Now, on to the blades...The sheath retains the blade even when its held upside down, and is constructed of a black plastic. There is a drain hole in the tip of the sheath to allow rainwater or other liquids to drain out of the sheath. The sheath attaches to you by way of a belt clip with the option of pushing the sheath down onto the belt (open bottomed belt loop) as opposed to having to thread the belt through it every time you wish to carry this blade with you. The belt loop is a part of the sheath and cannot be easily substituted for another attachment method, but the price is right at under 15 bucks!! I plan on drilling 2 holes in the sheath and threading some paracord through those so i can tie the sheath directly to my belt, or backpack. Also of note, the sheaths are stackable (The knob on the front side fits into a groove on the back side with locking tab, so it is possible to carry 2 blades "piggybacked" on each other.)Morakniv has a reputation for producing a good blade at a price you'll love. The Pro S is no exception. The handle is comfortable to hold and is made of plastic. There is enough texture in the handle's finish to give you good grip. If you wear bigger than an xl work glove, the handle may be a bit small for you, as i do wear an xl glove and it fits me with very little room to spare. The blade is Stainless Steel, with a Scandi Grind on the edge. Let me say, this blade is sharp enough for almost anyone right out of the box! I shaved off a few arm hairs as soon as I opened it up. The spine of the knife is not finished to 90 degrees for using a ferro rod in camp, but a flat file and 5 minutes of your time will surely correct this. At this price, its one to use hard and mod to your taste!Overall this blade has me impressed for the price. Its light, inexpensive, has a reputation for quality, and my GOODNESS is it SHARP!! What more can you ask for? Just buy one and thank me later!

Update:Bought more of these. I use them around the house (several different models), keep them in vehicles for emergencies, have them stowed in gear bags as backup/loaner knives and give them as gifts. Since they are so comfortable in hand, are fairly durable and cheap, rust resistant and are easy to sharpen, they are great first knives, especially for the young ones. All of mine have even grinds, sharp edges and perfectly finished handles. The sheath retains every specimen I have purchased solidly with a good snap into it, and you can hang it on any button protruding from your outer wear in cold weather instead of fishing around for it hanging from your belt under your jacket. What’s not to like? They are a great choice for a light, smaller stainless blade with a full size comfortable handle.Hard to add much more to other reviews. Great basic steel and good build in a quality knife at a great price. Why buy sketchy Asian knives when you can get a solid Scandinavian tool for just as cheap! This is a great first knife. It’s also cheap enough to have multiple tools stored around - in the kitchen, garage, all your vehicles and in your bug out bag. Buy a couple.
