Eldris (S)

I've been waiting for this little sucker since it was announced. I'm a big Mora fan. They are great blades for a little bit of cash. The eldris is no different. While I consider myself a knife guy, and have at least one with me constantly, I use them mostly for slicing. Whether it's opening a letter, a bag of peanuts, or cutting paracord, I usually use knives for slicing. In doing that, most of the blade goes unused. With a small knife like this, it gives you exactly the length you need for most tasks. The blade has a compound grind similar to that found on the Mora 2000. I like the original scandi grind better, but that's life. Oddly the edge isn't a true scandi grand, but has a micro-bevel. This does add a little strength to the edge, but again I like the original true scandi. It's a personal thing, so didn't deduct any stars. The handle is short enough to fine compact, but has enough length and girth for a good grip. The soft soft rubber over mold really adds traction. The crosshatch pattern on the hard plastic areas prevent moisture from making it slick. There is a diamond on each side that is indented more than the surrounding area. This acts as the locking recess for the sheath. The sheath is a typical mora affair. It has changed little from their last upgrade. Small lugs on the inside lip of the sheath lock into the handle indentions. It is much more secure than my rounded tip Mora with the teardrop locking lugs, but less positive than the classic Mora companion sheath. I got the model without the firesteel, and I was a little surprised to see it didn't come with a belt loop. The only place to attach a tether is through the lanyard loop holes in the bottom. I used some paracord to attach it to my belt loop and let it sit in my front pocket. I will eventually put some kind of loop setup on it because I don't care to carry this piece as a necker. Your mileage may vary. Overall a great little knife that is a perfect size for edc. Would recommend.

Pretty decent little knife. I've got hundreds of them (knives, not this particular one,) so I think I can write a relevant review. It IS a very short blade, but it's stout, and capable of shaving hair off your arm straight out of the box. That's a really good starting point, as it's the first thing I test when I get a new knife. I probably look ridiculous walking around in public with large patches of hair missing on my arms, but I could care less. It's the first test of every knife I buy. Anyway, enough about my arm hair and back to the knife. Like I said, it comes very sharp out of the box. I've used this knife to carve wood with (that's really the best application, given the blade geometry,) and I've also used it to cut BBQ'd steak. It will perform the latter, but it's really better used for carving fine details in wood. The handle is a combination of hard plastic and softer "rubbery" plastic, and it snaps in place very securely in it's hard plastic holster. This is likely going to be more sought-after by folks that like "neck knives" (which I have never really been a fan of, but I can see how it'd be good at that,) and the holster has a provision for threading some paracord through it if that is what you're intending to use it for. Have had it for a month or three now, and have been using it frequently. The steel used here is pretty stout, haven't had to sharpen it since buying it, and it's very comfortable to use for my main intended purpose, which was for whittling. Would be great for camping, as other reviewers have noted, when using a fire-starter on the back of the blade, as it is a very sharp 90° grind and really makes some sparks when striking it on a magnesium sparking fire starter when you forget your Bic lighter at home or the zombies ate it. All in all, I would recommend this knife, and I look forward to trying out some of the other offerings this company has available.

Morakniv is a super quality yet amazingly affordable knife. I bought 2 of these for my son, along with making him paracord necklace/harness, that may someday save his life in using them to get out of a frozen lake fall through. Yes, you can set a good example, teach proper testing protocols, and listening to locals, but boys/young men inevitably will do stupid things; and I believe that these will be better (and more likely to be worn) than the carbide tipped versions whose strength (handle/blade junction) is questionable. With a Mora, I know that junction is good enough to trust my life! Also, one can cut off the handle and make THE WORLD's GREATEST Altoids tin survival knife! Making one is how I learned how super the blade/handle connection is insanely strong despite not being "full tang".

Das Morakniv Eldris überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Der grüne Kunststoffgriff liegt sehr gut in der Hand und bietet dank der rutschfesten Einlage ein sicheres Handling, auch bei Nässe oder Kälte. Das Messer ist besonders kurz gebaut, dadurch äußerst kompakt und platzsparend. Ideal für Camping, Wandern oder als Begleiter im Revier. Durch seine geringe Klingenlänge ist es außerdem waffengesetzkonform, was es zu einer praktischen Wahl für unterwegs macht. Ich nutze es vor allem zum Auslösen von erlegtem Wildgeflügel direkt im Feld , hier spielt das Eldris seine Stärken voll aus: präzise Schneidleistung, perfekte Handhabung und geringes Gewicht. Wie gewohnt bei Mora: exzellente Verarbeitungsqualität, super scharf ab Werk und sehr robust. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Messer für alle, die ein zuverlässiges, kleines und vielseitiges Werkzeug suchen.

Super petit couteaux

Sehr scharfes Messer zum Wandern wie beschrieben sehr gut zu gebrauchen.

Bin immer noch ein riesen Fan dieser Minimesser! Sie sind allerdings sehr ballig im Griff und die Klinge gibt es in unterschiedlichen Qualitäten. Ein echtes EDC, das weit davon entfernt ist irgendwann den Geist aufzugeben. Mit Kordel, Schnürsenkel oder Paracordschnur prima zu verbinden durch das Lüftungsloch in der Scheidenspitze. Für feinere Arbeiten, Kräuter, Pilze, Früchte vielleicht nicht die beste Klinge, da würde ich auf eine Recurvedform zurück greifen. Dafür würde ich mit dem Messer auch Battoning machen.

Il mora Eldris è un coltello particolare, piccolo e curioso nelle dimensioni ma di grande valore e utilità pratica. Può essere trasportato ovunque e, con l'aggiunta di un laccio nell'apposito foro, anche al collo. È estremamente maneggevole e può essere adatto anche a chi ha mani grandi, infilando il fodero al contrario come prolunga. La lama è corta e affilata a rasoio, adatta anche a usare le barrette di ferrocerio per il fuoco, nella parte superiore . Sembra un giocattolo ma non scherza... Che dire... Utilissimo, bello e versatile... Morakniv!
