Personally, I have the second color version - it's better to find it somewhere just in case, but I'm considering getting this color as well. The knife is top-notch, comfortable, solid, offers a secure grip, and will work well virtually anywhere.

I own the orange option (recommend it because it's easier to find if you lose it, e.g., in the grass). Almost the best model after the Garberg from the Mora stable, so there's no need to talk about quality—everything is top!
-
In my opinion, Kansbol is the most beautiful Mora model—the knife itself, the sheath, and the colors chosen here make a brilliant combination. Of course, the quality is at a high level as with any Mora. Great steel, and you're not overpaying for something that cuts just as well.

The knife is of excellent quality and has good steel. I use it every day, as the handle is so comfortable that I even prefer it in the kitchen. If someone is looking for a multifunctional knife for many years, this will definitely hit the mark.

The knife is light, good quality, comfortable, and made of good steel. It has an interesting grind, which makes the tip very thin and sharp, but the base remains thick and durable, so the knife is suitable for precise tasks like cooking and also for heavier jobs like whittling wood or even light batoning. The sheath is great, the knife won't fall out easily, but you can easily pull it out with one hand. The most versatile Mora, in many respects better than the more expensive Garberg. I recommend it.

Wonderful knife, comes very sharp right away, working with it is easy and enjoyable. You can look for more fancy knives, but why, when you can buy a Mora that works better than 99% of other knives.

Mora, a great classic—no need to promote it, good steel, first-class workmanship. I tested it with a firestarter, cutting small branches and preparing food for a campfire. Meets my expectations, I recommend it.
-
I personally have the orange version (highly recommend), but this green classic is also tempting. As for the quality and craftsmanship, there is nothing to discuss—it's Mora at its best, almost the best model except for the Garberg.

I've already posted a review, but here's an update after field testing. It's not a heavyweight, but it works great with wood. Batoning branches, sharpening, trimming—I basically managed to build with what I found in the forest a structure that, after tying with rope and covering with a tarp, became a shelter for the night. Of course, I know you can do this with almost any knife, but you can see that the Kansbol likes wood ;)

The knife arrived surprisingly sharp from the factory. Light, ergonomic, handy. I've gotten used to the likes of the Gerber Strongarm, so this one feels more delicate, but for general camp use it should be fine.

Light knife, good quality, comfortable and made from good steel.

The sheath is great, the knife won't fall out accidentally but is easy to draw with one hand. The most versatile Mora, in many ways better than the more expensive Garberg. Ideal for b

I personally have the second color version, but I'm considering this color as well. Classy knife, very solid and comfortable grip, works for both wood and pineapple.
-
An elegant knife in a word, a very interesting color, which, apart from aesthetic value, makes it easier to find the knife in grass or snow. Very good quality, stainless steel, which is appreciated outdoors. You can prepare food with it, do some carving in wood, so it's a full option.
-
Very good, universal knife for the forest. It can handle most light tasks. However, you have to watch out for the thinner tip, so you don't bend it. Very good handle. Lots of mounting options and, as a plus, the ability to tie paracord to the handle. It's worth getting the Mora Survival Kit, that is the fire starter attached to the sheath. The color makes it easier to find in the greenery. The price, unfortunately, is not as attractive as with other Moras, but the knife is worth it.

Great quality steel, sharp. Very comfortable handle. At this price, it's a very good choice.
