Review: Cheap Workhorse Knife - I purchased the Mora Carbon Clipper from Sword Demon for $8 and change. When I received the knife, it was razor sharp (and I mean that literally, you could shave with it). One of the reasons for the knife's sharpness was that it had a "Scandanavian grind" blade with a very low angle on both sides - probably about 14-13 degrees. The sharpener I used for reference only went to 15 degrees and the angle was clearly lower than that. That tends to make for a very sharp knife, though I am curious how well it will hold up in regular use since that angle is steeper than what I use on paring knives in the kitchen. The good news is the Clipper is extremely easy to sharpen. Even a novice can do it thanks to the grind, you just lay the bevel against a flat stone and scrape the whole bevel. No special sharpeners or even much skill needed to keep this knife sharp. However, if you dislike this approach and want to do a compound bevel, you can use various pull-through sharpeners or other sharpening techniques and those will work as well, though, you lose the simplicity of any person being able to sharpen the knife on a flat stone. The knife is a good, solid shop knife at an extremely good price. Because it is so cheap, you don't feel a lot of regret in using it in ways you would never use a $60 knife, and surprisingly it holds up pretty well for a knife that looks like a gaudy steak knife; but it can be broken if abused. The knife is also carbon steel - which means it will rust if it is left wet. It also means it isn't the best knife for saltwater/high-humidity environments. You can oxidize the blade (Google "Forcing a patina") and it will give it very minor protection against rust; but the patina is usually not deep enough to be useful and will scrape off when you sharpen the knife. The patina will also slightly dull the edge (since it basically oxidizes the very fine edge), though the knife is still plenty sharp afterwards. So far, I've just been cleaning the knife after use, drying it off completely, and every once in a while, I give it a little coat of canola oil. No rust problems so far. If you buy this thinking it will beat out your Becker or ESEE, you are probably going to be disappointed. If you buy it as a cheap utlity/shop knife, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what it can handle. It isn't the best knife in the world; but it easily outperforms knives costing several times what this costs. UPDATE: Batoned the knife about 4" deep into some wrist-thick seasoned hickory I had laying around as firewood. Originally planned on trying to split the wood; but gave up as it was a lot of work driving that tiny wedge through the wood without much blade I could hit. After some yanking and pulling to get the blade free that I was sure would have bent the blade, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the blade was straight and still razor sharp. I kind of expected the edge to roll a little bit with an angle that sharp, but it did not.
Review: The little knife that can.... - It is not often that I can recommend ANYTHING without meaningful reservations. This little knife occasions one such time. My observations reflect most of the ones that have already been made. The knife feels very good in the hand, it is inexpensive, and it cuts like a mother-in-law's tongue! In regard to the last observation, this little knife comes pretty sharp from the factory but it really shines after it is properly sharpened. (By the way, carbon steel Clippers ARE easy to sharpen but the first sharpening can take a bit of time, After all, Clippers are cheap knives and, while their "factory edges" can cut well one cannot expect the same kind of "niceties" on a Clipper that one might find in a much more expensive knife. After the first sharpening, however, the knife actually is quick and easy to sharpen.) A properly sharpened edge on a carbon steel Clipper knife can be scary! One almost gets the impression that Excalibur was made in Sweden. (This is a slight, but very slight, exaggeration!) Even the knife's much-maligned sheath does a nice job of protecting the blade (and, protecting one from the blade) and it doesn't carry all that badly. Those who would "improve" this sheath will find ample ideas on YouTube. I have often read that the Clipper is a "light duty" knife. It is true that the knife's blade is thinner than some Scandinavian knives (which, by the way makes it a great slicer, unlike too many knives from that part of the world). However, I would be very hesitant to consider the knife to be in any way "fragile". As videoed "destruction tests" prove it requires an awful lot of abuse to wreck these things. I find it difficult to imagine a reasonable scenario where these knives would not work as well as any knives of their size. One potential problem that has not been mentioned is the problem of "maintainance"...i.e. being able to "maintain" one's ownership of these knives. It seems that someone always needs this knife more than the current owner. This is no big problem if a "stash" of these knives is kept, however. I have never known a person to whom I have given one of these knives to be anything other than thrilled with it and (at least temporarily) with me. This goes double for a male purchaser with a woman in his life. He would do well to go ahead and order two "Clippers" because one of them is almost certain to mysteriously "disappear" in short order. This phenomenon has been known to happen even when the female partner is otherwise unimpeachably honest and upright! My recommendation would be that the purchaser buy at least four of these knives for his own use and then order a custom sheath. This should keep him and his grandchildren nicely in knives at least until the turn of the next century (or, until such knives are banned, whichever comes first). The only other "improvement" that I can recommend is to file the spine if the knife's blade flat. The knife will look a bit better and the modified spine also works very well with ferrocium fire starters and even as the "steel" in "flint and steel". The Clipper has recently been phased out, though I understand that Mora is now offering a knife that is pretty similar. That having been said, I recommend that "real" Clippers be purchased for as long as they are available.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 90 degree spine? Thanks.**
A: Yes, you could say this knife has a 90 degree spine. Although the sharp corners appears to have been knocked down it will strike a spark held at a 90 degree angle, and it does not take much to set a sharp corner on this knife for using with flint or ferrocerium rod as a striker.It took me only a few minutes to get a sharp corner setup on this knife with a course diamond stone.Knife is razor sharp out of the package so be very careful when handling.

**Q: What is the difference between this and the Mora companion?**
A: The 'Companion' has a machined spine that has perfect 90* angles which some feel makes using it on a ferrocerium rod to strike sparks for fire lighting easier.  I just use a lighter and buy the less costly knife.  The spine can EASILY be worked with a file to make much better for ferrocerium rod spark striking in about 5 minutes.  I have done this to several of these knives.
These Morakniv knives are the "BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK" knives on the planet.....by far and away.

**Q: Does the blade really just say mora instead of morakniv? Or MORA and a logo? All pictures I've seen of the 840 have a logo next to MORA...**
A: It says MORA. This is not a fake, it is the real Mora knife.- Industrial Revolution... the US Distributor for Mora.

**Q: Is this knife a full tang or rat tail?**
A: This is a rat tail tang (stick tang)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Knife. Beyond Sharp Out Of The Box!
*by S***E on July 10, 2025*

Look at my photo, I have bought 6 of these over the years! They are that good... I have one in each of my cars, in my tool box, in the kitchen junk drawer and in the out door garden shed. They have a super rubber grip that fells very good in your hand. The blade is beyond sharp out of the box. And the best part they are rather inexpensive for what you get. In the one photo, you can see some rust spots. That is from when I accidentally dropped the in the garden and it was out in the weather for about a month until I found it. THE RUST IS NOT THE KNIFE'S FAULT! Any carbon steel blade will rust if you do not take care of it. I show this because the bale is such a high quality there is only a little rust after having been outside for a month. If you take care of your knife, it will last you a lifetime!
