Mora Quicksnap 911 Carbon Steel Bushcraft knife

This is a review of my Mora Quicksnap 911 Bushcraft Knife which is my main outdoors knife for field dressing or messy work. This is one of a few knife reviews that i have put up here for you guys to check out and they range from knives i actually use in bushcraft and camping environments to complete trash that i have knocking around in my knife box... Anyway, comments are always welcome, apologies for the poor narration and lack of flashy titles and i hope you enjoy watching but please remember that this is only my opinion and not being a knife expert i dont know everything about them so youll have to forgive any mistakes!

Were the folks you talked to trying to sell you the knife at the time?! It genuinely has nothing to do with specifications - it is a cheap production process. Nothing against the knife as it is what is it but think about it logically: Would the designers of a £12 knife go into such fine engineering detail as to leave a lip either side of a dipped laminate to make it easier to run a firesteel down it?!!

Erm??? according to the folks I talked to, it is a side benifit to the process, If you look at the spine it is slightly concave due to the laminating process, giving it a rather sharp edge on both sides. it is also cost and time saving for the company. Um, so whatever.

enjoy the benifit.

@VaguelyAmusing Erm, and interesting take but a magnesium fire starter doesnt need a rough edge to work. In fact its quite the contrary; The sharper the edge, the greater the spark. According to Frosts (Mora) the reason is that only the front of the blade is dipped when laminating the steel over the carbon core and thats why the back is so rough. For a £12 knife, they simply dont dip and polish as much as someone like Fallkniven do.

The back is left that way on purpose, to be used with a fero rod/fire steel.

@philnicholl13 Yes, i agreed - until a very short time ago! I used it in the Garden for some very light cutting / slicing work and killed the blade completely - Not sure whether i just pushed it to far but it is now pretty much a serated cutting edge...!

this is an excellent wee knife, have one myself and i cant fault it.

thank you very much for acknowledging the tang length

so its just the clipper blade stuck on a new handle? i have the bushcraft force with the same handle but a bigger stainless blade-you might like it
