Mind blowing value
Full disclosure: I've only just taken possession of these knives. Still, I am so impressed by their quality and utility. It's hard to believe you can get such well thought out knives, made in Sweden, for this price. The blade finish (other than the rather uninspired spine treatment on the Companion and the Craftline, is excellent. Bright, shiny steel, with a perfect Scandi-grind. All three knives came out of their sheaths for the first time shaving sharp.These knives are shockingly light for their size - lighter than most folding knives, but they feel sturdy in the hand. The plastic handles are not the height of style, but they feel good in the hand, and I believe you could work with all of these knives without any blisters or hot spots developing. And let's not kid ourselves. These are knives built to work.My take is that the Craftline (red handle) will be a great around the house knife. It cuts through cardboard like a laser, and the nice choil keeps you locked into the grip comfortably. This could also be a fine food prep knife, as it has something of a large paring knife feel to it (though a lot more robust).The Companion (black and green handle) should be a good all around blade, especially a nice woods/farm/do everything blade for the sportsman. It would serve well for all but the most brutal treatment, I believe.The Robust blade (gray handle) is the one I tested most thorougly. It has a surprisingly thick blade, and has a feeling of assured capability to it. The handle is a bit larger, and for the blade length, I can't imagine any benefit to adding additional steel. It is very stiff. I tried debarking some spruce limbs, making feather sticks, and batoning with this bad boy. It did very well at all of them, feeling comfortable in the hand through all the angles I tried. The Scandi-grind seems to work really well for batoning (using the knife to split kindling by hitting it on the spine/tip with another piece of wood to drive it through). At no time did I feel that I could overpower this knife or cause it to flex.I think any of these knives, especially the Robust, would be a reasonable bargain at the cost of this entire bundle. The fact that you get three really well done, high quality blades for the money is sort of mind boggling. I am a Morakniv convert.

I liked one so much I bought another for the other ...
This smaller-sized knife bar is perfectly engineered to be located on the side of my cupboards above the sink. I liked one so much I bought another for the other side. Here I store my smaller knives, like steak knives, paring knives, cheese knives and filet knives. I also store my kitchen shears here. It will work for big knives too, but I store them elsewhere. I like the rounded bars as they don't seem to scratch the knives as much as some sharp-edged square bars tend to do, and the mounting places them further from the mounting surface than many other bars, making it easier to grab the knives. My only caveat is that the magnetic strength is only moderate, whereas I prefer a stronger bond with the knives. It is plenty to hold them, and in particular bigger knives seem to be held more strongly, but the magnetic strength drops off in the outer inch or so making the ends pretty precarious for storing knives over a work area.

Happy with my decision
I recently completely remodeled my kitchen and 2 things I insisted on keeping were the Calphalon pot hanger (only one I found for low ceilings) and my 2 magnetic knife holders. Before tearing everything down I took photos and measured where I had things originally so it would be easier to replace. I LOVED my existing knife holders BUT the light wood looked out of place with the new kitchen colors. I looked for weeks for something comparable that blended with the new colors. This one did not turn up at first, it took creative searching.My cabinet depth is 14", deeper than the standard (I designed it that way) but most holders are still too long for that area. This one was shorter than what I was hoping to find and my used ones, but the best option.I place one above the other with the longer knifes on the top, blade up in case they fall. (I suggest if you are doing 2 rows to lay them out on the table first to check placement)The spacing between the magnetic bars is farther apart than others, and so a very small knife won't fit but my smallest paring knife did work (see enclosed comparison picture). The magnetic strength is a tad less but definitely adequate for all my knives. I didn't care for the mounting area but it has grown on me, and the deeper space between the knife and back surface is a plus. It just seemed to me that the solid back gave more stability when pulling off a knife, but this is working quite well. The screws were too long for my side cabinet so I asked the cabinet guy if he had some screws which were shorter. They were a different material, but he went ahead and mounted them at my marks when I wasn't looking. Nice guy.These holders look great, work great. Right next to my big sink where I do all my prep work for many years now and still prefer them that way. A definite convenience for a tight workspace. Would recommend them.

3 pack is great as 1 goes in my tackle box
I guess you get what you pay for. Not really impressed, however they are just tools. 3 pack is great as 1 goes in my tackle box, one in my truck, and the other in my garage.I wanted them for the "bug out bag" but I will keep shopping around for something more trustworthy. The mora knives are good for bait and cutting string. Not really a true survival knife.

Deal of the year for field knife cogniscenti
Mora has always fielded excellent steel in their knives, and these are no exception. Yes, they will stain as they are carbon steel, but they take and hold an exceptional scary edge. I rust blue mine in lemon juice or cold blue solution. If you want shiny get cheap chinese stainless steel. Where Mora stepped up their game is in their sheaths. They now lock the knives in by the choil, and have a thumb pad against which to push the thumb when unlocking the blade. The sheath clips to belts, pant waists, and studs if one prefers. Unlike the older red wood handles, the synthetic handles are secure in rain, salt water and blood. You can spend more but cannot buy a better field and utility knife. Excellent in the kitchen as well. Oh, be sure to lay in a supply of bandaids.....
