Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire $9 knife!

Been using these knives for a decade or more. Light, super sharp, holds an edge, and easy to re touch with a steel. Also keep one in each of my vehicles. Give them a try, they are great for skinning and decent for boning.

The link is not working.

Now it is. Thanks!

I bought 5. They'll be nice stocking stuffers.

Fixed it, I hope

Moras are his link. A lot of us on here have a handful scattered about.

I just bought an extra carbon mora, in orange for hunting. I think my model was 20.00 from amazon.
I have other Moras, a few have a built in fire rod, and one was 100 bucks, I guess that is their flagship model. All are great for the money.

Well, there just went another $40 to Amazon (three plus shipping).

Since finding out about Moras here I guess I’ve developed the habit. I just gave my stainless heavier “Bushcraft” version to a kid I hold in high regard who actually still works on a ranch and hunts.

The carbon steel ones I grey in hot vinegar out of the box right off, said to protect against rust, couldnt hurt. Now it’s gonna be one in every vehicle, one on my bicycle.

Looks like a Scandi grind on the edge. Those can be extremely sharp and easy to resharpen.

I have used those in the past, and was always dissapointed. I had a friend in UK make me a knife with much the same design, but with thicker, better steel, a full tang and Walnut scales. Cost more than $9 though.

You need to get prime. For a hundred bucks all shipping from Amazon is free and their Prime TV and movie videos and series are also free to watch.

I found a carbon blade, green handled one many years ago in the middle on an ATV trail near out hunting cabin. I had never seen one before and thought any found knife is a good one. That knife took a sharp edge very quickly and I used it on the next deer I killed. Since then it is the first knife I dig out of my pack when it is time to field dress even though I have a custom damascus and a very good Dozier. My lab chewed up the original sheath when I was skinning a deer in my barn. I duct taped it and carried it for a few years until I found a red sheath at an abandoned campsite a couple of years later.

I buy them and give them to new hunters I introduce to the sport. I tell them they can buy more expenses knives, but it will be difficult to buy a better one for 10 times the price. They are inexpensive but not cheap.

I skinned and deboned an entire Alaskan bull moose with a Mora. Occasionally would touch it up with a steel but it never needed to be sharpened.

Right, because this has everything to do with a $9 knife thread.

Post up some hedge clippers too.

It ain't free.... you just paid $100 for the "free shipping" - which can mount up if one orders a lot from amazon. I just ordered 3 bottles of gun Corrosion X from the manufacturer. With the $7+/3 flat rate shipping ($14 for 4), it came out a few cents higher than Amazon Prime. And I didn't have to try to find my wife's password.

There was about a buck and a half difference in price per bottle. Equally priced, then, not counting the $100 up front to Amazon.

Better sign up for some of those "cash back" credit cards too, where they charge you high interest while they use your money, then giv e a small portion of it "back" to you.

As I said tho, Prime may be a better deal if one uses it a lot. Due diligence, and all that.

19.00 cdn

I like Buck

I ordered one. If it turns out to be as good a deal as you are saying, I'll order more for our Christmas grab box. Thanks!

Shhh! Calling a cheap knife good is a heresy. But with modern metallurgy and production methods it's easy to make a cheap, serviceable knife. Even stainless is so much better - what they use in production facilities where you work with a knife 8 hours a day. And those guys would buy knives more expensive than Victronics/Forchners if it made life better.

Just keep it sharp and you'll make it through any game animal. Dad once field dressed a deer with his cheap pipe knife and it was far from razor sharp.

Like I need another knife. Bought it anyway. $9.77 with free delivery. I'm also a Buck guy but you guys convinced me to try it.

i have a number of them around, for over a decade at least.
they may be inexpensive, but they are not cheap.

Just bought three more for Christmas gifts. The reviews for this knife are great. If not used for hunting it'd make a good kitchen knife as well.
