Morakniv Companion Green Fixed Blade Knife vs Svord peasant blade

It's so so light. Some bushcraft or survival knives can be so heavy that they want to drag your pants down by the belt but you wouldn't even feel this little cloud. It doesn't even look like a bushcraft knife. It looks like a cheap steak knife from your kitchen

When the knife arrived it felt very light, not a good light but cheap, knife people know what I mean. The handles are very very misaligned and is covered in splinters. Sanding doesn’t help as it’s made of like a weird plywood looking material. Most certainly not the knife I was excited to receive

Carbon blades are tough but easy to sharpen with the only downside being that they rust much easier than stainless so there is some maintenance needed. As you can see the blade on mine has taken on a dark, almost black patina from skinning game which is actually a good thing and helps keep the bad rust from forming. I just wash this knife after use and apply a light coat of mineral oil. What I really love about this knife is the way the sheath clips onto the button of my hunting overalls

This pin was not present on the knife I ordered. This meant there was nothing stopping the blade from going too far backwards except the tension on the screws. The problem is, if you set them tight enough to stop the blade from going backwards, it's very difficult to open. I don't know why they stopped putting this pin in, or if it's only my knife that it happens to be missing from

No expensive fluff that you feel compelled to store. Every penny went into the knife. IMHO, a smart choice. The unspoken message, this knife is about intelligent utility, not fluff

I could see it as a neck knife with a clip on the lanyard small enough to fit the hole in the tang. 3. It's durable. The simple mechanism and extra length of the tang should allow it to withstand some beating without complaint

I take into account the type of steel on my knives and the properties of that steel, so when I was getting a Carbon steel knife, I expected some rusting/corrosion through use. However, upon the first few of uses peeling an apple, I noticed the discoloration and patina started to form on the steel. There was also a strong odor that emanated from the knife, so I regarded it as a smell from the manufacturing process. I washed, dried and oiled the steel after each use to minimize the corrosion/rust, but every time I used it for apples, the smell would return (metallic smell produced from grinding steel)

The blade isn't strong at all. Came with a chip in the edge, and varies between having a sharp and a dull edge. For the wood the finish although it's suppose to be "rustic" was really poorly done with gouges and an unfinished side. And the screws/posts didn't fit into the wood well at all

I am waiting for Amazon to fix this issue and correct their website!!! Amazon guys, you need to check all Mokarniv's SKUs (colors, materials). Point #2: Handle ergonomics is good and feels comfortable but the material is feels cheap for the knife made in Sweden (at least, that is what it says on the blade). Point #3: The blade is thin and feels cheap too but it is ok for the price. Point #4: It came very sharp

Love the Svord! Such an awesome knife for a great price. I think I got my full size and mini for $10-$12 each.

In my experience these grip pretty well even when wet and also compliment the blade size pretty well for most tasks. This material and grip also come in handy for some tasks since there is no gimping on the blade, which I have never personally had a problem with. For a softer material, these handles seem to hold up very well, which was one of my concerns several years ago when I bought my first one. 3

The handle is rough but the blade seems pretty good. It is bigger than you would think but not in a good way.
