help Morakniv Companion FAQ
Is the Morakniv Companion actually a full-tang knife?
No, the Morakniv Companion has a partial tang that extends partway into the handle, not a full tang running the entire handle length. If you need a true full-tang Mora knife, the Morakniv Garberg is the model designed for that specification.
What type of steel does the Morakniv Companion use?
The Companion is available in two steel variants: a carbon steel version and a stainless steel version using Sandvik 12C27. The carbon steel version holds a sharper edge but requires more maintenance to prevent rust, while the stainless is more corrosion-resistant.
Can I use the Morakniv Companion for batoning firewood?
The Companion can handle light batoning on small-diameter wood, but because it has a partial tang, it is not ideal for heavy or repeated batoning. For regular batoning tasks, the full-tang Morakniv Garberg is the safer and more durable choice.
What is the blade length of the Morakniv Companion?
The blade measures approximately 4.1 inches (104 mm) in length. This makes it versatile enough for food prep, carving, and general camp tasks without being unwieldy.
