Morakniv Craftline 546 Fixed Blade Knife

I really like these Morakniv brand the 546 is solid and sharp, lightweight and affordable. I carry it camping and fishing. I would carry it hunting but I don't hunt. It has a full handle, meaning you can get all four fingers around it for a full grip and a solid cut. The steal is sharp and ready to go. The case locks the knife inplace and I haven't had it fall out yet. I like the orange handle so I can lay it down on the ground and find it again. Your not going to pound tent stakes in with it, like a K-bar, but that's not its intended purpose. I like it so much I bought two.

I have purchased many Moras and sung their praises to anyone with a passing interest in knives. They're universally well-made out of quality materials and cheap as chips, so if you lose or somehow manage to break one, you wouldn't feel as gut-punched as you would with a pricier knife. The Craftline series is their budget option, but retains all of the values that make the Companion andother higher-end Moras excellent while coming in at a price point that wouldn't seem out of place on a cheap Chinese knife. The Sandvik steel is excellent, with good edge retention and outstanding corrosion resistance. The molded-on handle is as comfortable as that on any other Mora and the size is perfect for most day to day tasks. This most recent purchase of mine was for use as a saltwater fishing bait knife and it's turned out to be perfect for that task - the sheath clipped neatly on to the pouch I keep my FishBites and soft plastics in and the keen edge makes fast work of turning blue runners and ladyfish into bait. The steel has proven pretty much immune to corrosion so far, despite only getting a dunk into the Gulf and a wipe down at the end of each trip. There are tons of other uses for these cheerful little knives, but as a bait knife, it's perfect, and preferable to the 'nicer' Mora offerings.

I use this primarily for cutting up boxes at work. I haven't found any other brands that make as good of a sheath as Mora. There is no flap to get in the way, and the knife is secure. Considering I sheath and unsheath this thing so much, this is critical to me. This knife is also just small enough that when you pull it out to work, people are not scared of it. The Mora Companion knife (while also a great knife) appears to be just over that line and has caused a gasp or two with its slightly larger blade. Easy to sharpen, holds a decent edge, takes to stropping well, socially acceptable, and a great sheath. I also won't cry if it disappears and these are a great value for what you get. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

This is another great knife from Mora. Very handy, very lightweight knife. As usual, great value from Mora with great stainless steel blade sharp as a razor. This knife is identical to the 511 except for stainless instead of carbon steel blade and blue instead of red handle. The knife is also similar to the Pro S except for greater blade width and rubberized handle on the Pro S. Sheath is basic plastic but does it's job. Mora saved on production costs by not finishing the spine of the blade very well but this is easily remedied with a file or coarse sandpaper. The steel is the excellent Sandvik 12C27 stainless and I confirmed this by direct communication with Mora customer service. They also informed me that Mora will soon be switching to a cheaper stainless steel for the Craftline series so you better grab this version while you can. To quote "Today we have the Sandvik 12C27 in the 546. However, since this is the best stainless steel we can find, but also a more expensive steel, we have decided to go for almost the best instead for our Craftsmen/utility knives, which include the 546. This is a way to differentiate further between our outdoor knives and craftsmen knives to save the Sandvik steel for the outdoor range. So in the future, don't know exactly when, the steel will be a German steel that we have tested and with our heat treatment process we can make it more or less just as good as the Sandvik steel." Overall outstanding buy for a great work knife.

Mora is always usefull. I used 160 sand on handle for slimy outdoor work. Very easy to touch up with diamond sharpener, stropping with red compound is so sharp! Stays sharp without chipping. Can fix slight roll overs if touching metal. Carbon will chip more than this wonderfull stainless steel. No rust!

A good serviceable fixed blade knife. I bought several of these. Two Companion models with slightly longer blades, one orange and one green and the #546 Stainless Basic Craftline, a #511 Basic Carbon Steel model, and a SS Craftline Pro model. I wanted to see and feel the differences in these models for myself and since they were all within a couple of dollars of each other, and a great price, I got one of each. I like them all. Between the shorter models I prefer the bright orange handle on the 511 Basic just for the ease of finding it should it get dropped outside in the tall grass or at night or finding it in the bottom of the emergency car kit, but I think the Craftline Pro, with the overmolded rubber grip is my favorite as far as comfort goes. Each one of the shorter ones has been added to the emergency kits in our three vehicles, you never know when you may need a good fixed blade knife in an emergency. The two Companions are for my wife and I to use around the house doing yard, garden, landscaping work. Would I choose these if I were headed off into the wilds of Alaska? I may take one along for light duty tasks, but I'd certainly choose a more robust full tang knife to take along also. By the way, they all came shaving sharp, so watch your fingers, it's not always easy to maintain a good grip on the handle while removing the knife from the sheath, another plus for the overmolded rubber grips on the Companions and the Craftline Pro. All the sheaths have a little raised area to put your thumb on for leverage when pulling the knife from the sheath, but they're not ideal.

I originally purchased the 4 inch version of this knife as a general utility knife. I liked it so much,, I've purchased 2 more since then, just to keep them within reach at all times! Recently, I started building a couple of 3 day bags, and wanted to include a Mora knife in each of them. The 4 inch version was just a bit too long for the compartment that I wanted to keep it in, so I got this slighty shorter 3.5" version and it fits like a charm. There's zero difference that I can find between this and the 4" version, other than the blade length. Is this a "fine" knife, or an heirlume quality piece of cutlery? No, but for less than $20, you will not go wrong if you want something that you can and will actually use! Go ahead and buy 2 or 3 of them, you'll want to eventually anyways.

Lowkey they sent me the wrong knife, but I can't complain because I ordered a 13 dollar knife and the send me a bigger more expensive 34 dollar knife. But the one they sent me is pretty rad. Great knife cuts fish up good for bait

Excelente faca, excelente para acampar e pescar.

Very good robust knife.

Was Mora für den geringen Preis abliefert ist wirklich unglaublich. Die Messer sind stabil, halten die Schärfe wirkklich lange und liegen gut und sicher in der Hand. Mit der Scheide ist das Paket komplett. Ich trage das Messer immer in der Arbeitshose griffbereit. Das ist mein 2tes Mora, das erste habe ich nach gut 5 Jahren und vielen Garteneinsätzen dieses Jahr auf Wassersteinen nachgeschärft, jetzt ist es wieder ziemlich schnittig. Wobei man bei den Preisen von 10-15 Euro schon darüber nachdenkt, noch 30-60 Minuten Zeit in das Nachschärfen zu investieren. Durch den Skandischliff nicht ganz einfach, aber wenn die Klinge danach keinen Schönheitspreis ergattern muß geht das auch. Wegwerfen entspricht aber grundsätzlich nicht meiner Einstellung.

Bonjour, Je suis très satisfaite de ce couteau, j’adore le bleu et il est très robuste dans l’ensemble. En plus, l’étui est fourni avec le produit et la lame est réfléchissante comme un miroir, je pourrais ( sans métaphore ) me regarder directement sur la lame qui en plus, est bien tranchante donc pas besoin d’affûtage après commande. Prix parfait ! 11 €, ce n’est vraiment pas cher contrairement à l’opinel à 8 € ici qui n’est pas résistant du tout ! Merci beaucoup ! Je recommande ce couteau sans hésiter !

Di seguito propongo la recensione che ho fatto per un altro modello della MoraKniv che calza alla perfezione anche per questo. Praticamente cambiano solo un paio di cose, la lama del coltello in oggetto è un pochino più stretta (19 mm invece di 23 mm) e l'impugnatura è monocromatica. La MoraKniv produce delle versioni "industriali" di quello che, nell'estremo nord Europa, è il coltello da lavoro per eccellenza, il Puukko. Sostituendo legno e cuoio, delle versioni classiche, con polimeri vari, abbiamo uno strumento senza confronti a questo prezzo. Intendiamoci, non è perfetto ne universale, anche perché il coltello universale non esiste e comunque se qualcosa vi si avvicina non costa certo 20 euro. Vediamo cosa non è questo meraviglioso coltello, non è da lancio, non è da innesto, non è da sopravvivenza in senso stretto, ecc. ecc., ma soprattutto non è da bushcraft. Non è full tang ed il codolo, cioè la parte che si trova dentro l'impugnatura, è molto più stretto della lama e usarlo per fare del batoning o comunque impegnarlo in torsioni o forzarlo lateralmente con la lama bloccata non farebbe venir fuori il suo massimo, metteremo sicuramente a rischio codolo e punta. La tipologia di coltello non prevede tutto ciò. E allora che ci faccio? Tutto quello per cui è stato ideato, lavorare all'aperto, caccia, pesca, barca, campagna e via dicendo. Lo uso per lavorare carne e pesce prima di metterli ne congelatore, lo uso in cucina e quando faccio il barbecue, se faccio raccolta nel bosco è con me e potrei continuare. La lama misura circa 23 mm per 90 mm e 2 mm di spessore ed in un decente acciaio inossidabile, ha retto bene anche l'uso saltuario in acqua salmastra. L'affilatura di fabbrica è molto buona, ma non eterna e qualche ritocchino va messo in preventivo, dopo un uso intenso alcuni minuti di pietra sarebbero ben spesi. L'impugnatura è ben fatta e consente una presa salda anche a chi ha le mano piccole e quando si bagna ho la netta sensazione che aumenti il grip. Il dorso della lama non è liscio, a testimonianza della necessità di ridurre i costi. Per la pulizia di coltello e fodero ho usato praticamente tutto, in genere mi accontento dell'acqua, ma ogni tanto esagero. Il fodero è decisamente ben fatto e robusto, durante l'utilizzo sul campo non c'è problema a mettere il coltello nel fodero, anche se sporco di terra o quant'altro, grazie al foro che si vede in foto è semplicissimo ripulire il tutto e anche eventuali condense, durante l'inutilizzo, non sono un problema. L'elemento in rilievo sul davanti del fodero, serve per agganciare un altro Mora della stessa serie. Così potremmo avere a disposizione due lame differenti, magari una normale e una più sottile per sfilettare, entrambi in posizione comoda. L'incasso sull'elemento per il porto in cintura, che è del tipo aperto quindi facilmente posizionabile e rimovibile, serve sia a collegare tra loro due Mora, come descritto poco sopra, sia ad appendere il coltello ad un bottone. Perché se fa molto freddo l'abbigliamento pesante potrebbe rendere difficoltoso raggiungere la posizione classica sul fianco, mentre attaccato al bottone di un ipotetico giaccone sarebbe molto più comodo da usare. In conclusione, non è perfetto, ma lo riterrei indispensabile anche se costasse di più, beh non troppo però. Spero che questa mia recensione sia stata utile.
