Floating Knife (S)

Review of both Mora cork handled floating knives: orange sheath serated safety tip and green sheath fine edge clip point. When comparing the two knives they have identical sheaths, handles, weight, length, steel type and stock thickness. Color and blade grind are your main differences. I bought the serated safety tip knife with orange sheath for use in my canoe. More recently in 2020 I bought the clip point green sheath as a ultralight hiking knife. These knives float well and are very light at 3.07 OZ making them great to carry as a ultralight backpacking knife. The cork handle is incredibly comfortable and grippy especially when wet. My magnet shows the tang continues to the end of the handle, and the cork is more dense than a fly-rod cork handle but the handle has more flex than any other knife I have used. The handle flexes but is tough enough for all normal knife tasks IMHO it won't break. The Tang is encased in plastic and the cork is bonded to the plastic I don't think the cork would rip off the Tang as other reviewers have predicted. The cork handle has a great feel in hand and reminds me of a fly-rod, very comfortable and more durable than you might think. The sheath is hi-vis orange or green with drainhole, exactly similar to all Mora plastic sheaths. I see another reviewer said the sheath was flimsy but it is a standard Mora sheath quite robust. Both knives came razor sharp and the scandy grinds were perfect. I modified the orange sheath serated to a sheeps foot design(see photos) to increase it's usefulness as safety is my 3rd priority. I also sharpened the spine of the blade. I would recommend these knives to anyone looking for a boat/safety knife or a ultralight backpacking knife on a budget. I have had the orange model for two boat seasons and under moderate use the handle shows no wear to the cork but does pick up some dirt from your hands. Have been using the orange serated edge for two boating seasons and it has kept an edge and have been perfect for cutting rope, fish and wood. I would mention that the sheath retention is achieved through two divots on either side of the cork handle and two matching nubs on the sheath. This has not worn at all on me yet and my personal experience with cork is that it is much more durable than you might think. I would say it should last 20 years or more with my use and at this price point most mora knives are purpose built and intended to be worked hard and replaced when worn.

Brilliant. Sharp. Great sheath. Used for commercial crabbing. Great s safety knife and general all round rope knife.

Both the sheath and knife float together or separate. Great knife

This floater is going in both a tackle box, and in a dedicated fire kit pouch on my backpack. They will serve well after I put a 90° spine on them. I haven’t found a knife brand yet that offers such a multitude of capable, high quality, easy to sharpen knives that could compete with Mora at their prices. Anyone starting out with knives should have a Mora. Experienced users usually have a few. Jmho.

This knife is almost perfect — lightweight, sharp, and it floats as advertised. My only complaint is that the tang of the blade doesn’t extend far enough into the handle, which makes it feel somewhat flimsy. That flimsiness could be a point of failure in a life-threatening situation on the water. If the tang went deeper, it would add a lot more strength and confidence to the overall design.

I can't beleive Mora made a boat knife! Just in time for me too! I was just about to buy a mora companion in stainless steel and then grind the tip down and add a bigger drain hole to make it more of a boat knife. But Mora made an official boat knife and it's even better than what I would have made! I love the serrations. Perfect for cutting rope. I would not use this for camping though. It feels tough for how light it is. Other reviews said it felt flimsy. I guess it's not as solid as a Mora companion, but it still feels nice and strong for how light it is. The blunt tip is also awesome! You can poke your hand with it and it will not cut your hand. So perfect for boat safety. I got two. The price is so great! One to put in the glovebox of the boat to use as a rescue knife and one in my fishing bag for when I'm fishing on the canoe. I was already using a mora companion as my fishing knife, so this is a really cool upgrade to that! If you go boating, canoeing, or kayaking, you should get one of these knives! Seriously, you should at least have some kind of knife for safety. Sometimes there is just no time to untie a knot or tangle and you just need to cut the rope. Sometimes people get tangled up in ropes/lines and they drown. A good knife can save your life or the life of someone going out on the boat with you.

This is my emergency knife for kayaking. It clips to my PFD just fine albeit loosely. I've rigged a simple lanyard to the sheath to ensure it doesn't come off should I capsized. My kayaking includes fresh flat water, and salt water excursions in bays and sloughs in the NorCal region. After several trips in salt water, no rust or spotting of any kind. I rinse with fresh water and dry after every trip. Sharp enough to cut any of my rigging AND my 7mm tow rope, no problem. Not the smallest and certainly not the prettiest, but for peace of mind it's fantastic. And...IT FLOATS!

A bit flimsy in the handle but not a deal breaker for a sharp knife that floats! Cuts throughbrope like butter and the cork handle doesn't slip in wet hands.

Lifelong Mora collector here. As soon as I purchased an inflatable kayak I went online to see if Mora made a blunt tipped, floating knife for inflatable boats, and, well, they do! The best bit is the blaze orange color, which is now my favorite for water use. I'm not fussy about serrated blades, but the main use for a boat knife is cutting line and rope - cutting loose from a hung up anchor line in rough water, for example - so in this case I prefer them. The sheath seems to have a secure grip on the knife, and while I haven't been able to get it to shake loose, my preferred tip-up carry will likely not be an option with this sheath. In short - well made, razor sharp knife designed specifically for use on the water, ideal for inflatable boats.

Un excelente cuchillo con la conocida calidad de Morakniv, cumple con lo prometido. El empaque venía un poco dañado pero nada que comprometiera la integridad del cuchillo. 100% recomendable.

Super leve, afiada e flexível! Muito confortável para carregar. Cabo em cortiça flutuante. Pena a cor, horrível!

Was soll ich sagen. Liegt gut in der Hand. Ist scharf. Hat lediglich 81g & schwimmt. Für 34€ kann Mann da nichts falsch machen. P.S.: Natürlich auch für Frauen geeignet :-P

Très bien
