If you're going to start a fire in the woods/desert/wherever, you're going to have a lot better luck with a homemade box of tinder, or actually legit, not shitty, firestrikers like this. There was an issue with a brand of firestarter very similar to this where the material would dissolve in water. Also, this is really expensive for a cheaply made, mass-produced knife and shitty firestarter. STOP BUYING SHIT YOU DONT FUCKING NEED PEOPLE.

m0arpheusI've used mine in wet conditions without a problem. I can tell by your comment you have no clue what you're talking about. The fact you don't know the difference between tinder and a ferro rod proves your ignorance. The fact you feel the need to order people around says a lot about your mental state.

Not sure if I'm interested myself as I'm good on knives at the moment, but I wanted to mention that Mora knives are fantastic. My first proper knife was a Mora and it's standard bit of kit for outdoorsmen in a lot of Europe, it's also the standard issue survival/bushcraft knife for a lot of military forces and a common purchase even among those it isn't standard.
For the price the quality is fantastic, they will put more expensive knives to shame and they are made to last and made to work. A lot of knives might look better, but very few will work any better than a good Mora.

Too gimmicky for me. Who doesn't have a tinder kit on them when they go in the woods anyway? Lose your knife and you lose your fire source.

CracktowerIsn't that similar to "lose your tinder kit and you lose your fire source?" You could lose your pack as well. One person's gimmick is another's innovative idea. YMMV

CracktowerIt is an extra to carry nothing wrong with a backup. I lost my glasses on a trip last year second day in and had to hike the next 5 days without glasses. That sucked not having a backup. It isn't like I am taking a huge weight penalty to have a second spark source.

" To create a spark, simply remove the FireSteel Scout Firestarter from the included polypropylene sheath, and strike it against the blade at a 30-degree angle. "
This is incorrect - please use the dull side of the blade (top not bottom of blade)

I have six Mora knives including one of these and they are all great. The trick with using the firesteel is not to attack it like some deranged caveman but rather to use short controlled strokes and preferably with the end of the blade near the tip but on the back not the cutting edge. You can't wrong with any Mora.

Any possibility that there would be a drop for it's big brother - the Morakniv Bushcraft Carbon Steel Knife with Fire Starter, sharpener and sheath?

I'm sure there could be. Just go through the motions and create a drop that everyone can vote on. It's easy peezy.

Kind of disappointing that this is almost the same price on Amazon with Prime plus I will receive it in 2 days. I think these drops that offer very little true savings dilute the appeal of this site.

Rust WAY to easily. I have 3 of them. Two of them in my camper and I keep them in a sheath so we don't get cut. We use them daily, or we did... just took them out of the camper. You literally have to oil them after ever single use if you are cutting veggies, fruit etc.... these are terrible. I'll never purchase again. I know most guys rave about them... I just don't get it. Maybe it's only for a dry environment. I have over 50 knives, mostly high end.. this is one of the few that rusts so easily. I'd be all over it again if they offered a higher quality steel... this is junk.

crowleykirkPlenty of videos on YouTube that show how you can put a patina on carbon steel blades to prevent it from rusting. A few on Mora knives as well.

crowleykirkI have Morakniv models in both stainless and carbon (Companion, this one, and the Bushcraft). The carbon versions take and hold a razor edge very well, but since they are high-carbon they require maintenance/oiling just like any other high carbon steel. The stainless versions like this one do not rust easily for regular use (but I'm sure they would if thrown into a saltwater tackle box and abused). IMHO, the more "stainless" a blade is, the less I like the edge quality and retention - its always a trade-off. Right tool for the right use...
