Morakniv 510 Carbon Steel Knife vs Mora Granfors

Good, heavy knife. Shape on delivery. This is carbon steel. I have to say it’s impressive

I like a knife like this, because I don't need something crazy, heavy and tactical and super duty that I can pound through. You know a four inch log o...

I used this one on a couple of occasions for long distance hikes. But this one also I think it will be very good and reliable blade and tool to have w...

I use this ax nearly every single day. It’s an ideal size for having near a wood stove or furnace. I have mine in a small corridor next to my wood stove that’s used to hold wood pre-burn. The ceiling is low (about 6’4”) due to ductwork

If you are going to use this for fire-starting your first step should be to grind the back to a usable shape. Handle: Cheap feeling injection molded plastic, feels like what they make molded garbage cans from. That's not a bad thing in terms of durability (garbage cans are meant to sit outside for years), but it will feel cheap in your hands. The plastic contributes to its relatively light weight

It's soft and will age well after continue care and applying leather conditioner oil. Axe handle: I was a bit confused at first with the circular grooves but after reading the description on the Gransfor Bruk site it makes sense. I may sand it smooth if it bugs me enough but for now going to keep it as is.

This knife costs about 8 euro, which is basically nothing it's the price you would pay for two beers in a bar, but you get a really quality bushcraft ...

The handle seems very strong, tightly grained hickory with excellent orientation. I find working with it to be pure joy. I'll grant that it is expensive, but in this case I think you get what you pay for. I would buy it again in a heartbeat

You'd have to saw on your hand with it to cut yourself. The sheath is the loosest I've seen from them as well. The knife rattles badly and one shake pops it right out. Don't know if this is representative of all 510's but it's bad

The strap is too long and causes the sheath to come loose when hiking or any kind of movement is involved. I contacted both Kenco and Gransfors in order to remedy this situation but have not heard from them in over 9 days. This is truly unfortunate because, though my experience with Gransfors has been positive thus far, I'm left wondering if this was a vendor issue or if it was manufactured incorrectly. Regardless, the premium price that Gransfors Bruk charges for their axes leaves one hoping that a quality issue such as this would not be overlooked
