Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades MOKI folder impressions

Added a MOKI Fish Owl MK110M to the EDC pocket knife rotation back in July. I was looking for a certain Kershaw for this purpose without success and the MOKI was suggested by carbon12 as a potential alternative. Not that I have any shortage of pocket knives that have been proven to be up to the task...

Everyday needs for me require at least one knife. Just the usual stuff like cutting bailing twine on square bales, opening packages or eating from the garden and sometimes cleaning fish and game when a fixed blade is not at hand. Then of course there are those restaurants that don't provide a decent knife.

Impressions... Excellent construction and attention to detail, very light weight due in part to the linerless micarta construction. Blade steel is AUS-8 that touches up nicely on the ceramic sticks. Not my first choice in steel but seems to be adequate for the intended purpose. Solid lock back design. Blade design is just right for my intended use.

Well built for sure however not a heavy duty knife like the construction of a Benchmade folder as this is a what I would call a purpose built pocket knife. One that rides in your front pocket without knowing its there.

Should have included the dimensions.

Nothing wrong with the Moki, nice knife.

But better "substitutes" for the 1993-2 exist IMO........

that MOKI is a great pattern. fit and finish look really well done too.

2muchgun, what's the best substitute for the gentleman's folder in your opinion?

Don't get me wrong, I like the Moki. I just don't like it best, where 1993-2 clones are concerned.

I will post pics when I get a chance....

Crappy pic of one of my EDCs. I have 4-5 of these. They are 440C and still have the nice brass liners like the Kershaw, which the Moki lacks. They are much closer to the Kershaw than the Moki is........

Not a Kershaw, not a Moki:

That's a good looking knife!

Definitely a good quality pocket knife, built by a reputable company.

Moki has been around a very long time, and are very under rated IMO. They also make knives on contract for some big names including Fallkniven and Beretta.....

I love my MOKI fixed blade. Fantastic grind. A wicked little slicer.

I've been eyeballing one of those folders for a while.

Chinese knock-off?

Knowing Ken I doubt it's a Chinaland knock off....


I don't own one of their folders but my little Moki B&T pattern is as nice an any knife I own....

Reason why I asked is that I saw some Kershaw Gentleman's Folders look-alikes offered on-line of 440 steel. IIRC, they were stamped 'China'.

I put in an order for one of the China knockoffs. I'm kind of anxious to see how it compares to the real thing

Kershaw chill. I've been carrying one of there for a few months very light little knife and nice design. I paid about 25 bucks for it.

You get your Chinee knockoff yet?

I did about a week ago. The fit and finish is pretty amazing considering the price.

I've been carrying it for a week and have no complaints at all.

It looks like it has a flipper on it; is it an assisted opening knife...?

Flipper but not assisted opener
