Description

The Morakniv Companion in Military Green is a Swedish-made fixed blade knife with a 4" Sandvik stainless steel blade, a black rubberized handle with military green trim, and a matching belt sheath. It is a new, current-production outdoor knife, not military surplus. It has earned its reputation as one of the most recommended first knives for camping, fishing, and bushcraft.

Mora of Sweden and the Companion

Morakniv traces its roots to 1891, when Frost-Erik Erson began making knives in Östnor, a village outside Mora in the Dalarna region of central Sweden. Blade-making in the area goes back centuries before that. The modern company grew out of two local factories, Frosts Knife Factory and KJ Eriksson, which merged in 2005 and took the Morakniv name in 2016. Every knife is still made at the same site in Dalarna. The Companion is the knife most people picture when they hear "Mora." It keeps the light, simple design of traditional Swedish work knives and adds a modern molded handle and sheath.

Sandvik 12C27 Steel and the Scandi Grind

The blade is Sandvik 12C27, a Swedish stainless steel hardened to 56 to 58 HRC. It holds a keen edge, stands up to everyday work, and resists rust in wet conditions. The edge uses Mora's Scandi grind, a single flat bevel running from mid-blade to the edge. It bites cleanly into wood, and you can resharpen it by laying the bevel flat on a stone with no angle guide needed. The high-friction rubber handle stays secure in wet or cold hands. The military green sheath has a built-in belt clip and a drain hole, and the knife locks in with a firm click.

Around Camp and on the Water

Anglers use the Companion for filleting fish and cutting bait, and the stainless blade handles saltwater well enough that kayak and wade fishermen keep one on board. Campers rely on it for food prep, whittling tent stakes, and carving feather sticks for a fire. It also earns a spot in a tackle box, truck, or tool shed for cutting rope, twine, and packaging. Two honest notes: the factory spine is polished and won't throw sparks from a ferro rod until you square it with a file, and the blade is too thin for heavy batoning. At this price, though, you get Swedish steel and a cutting geometry that many knives costing several times as much struggle to match.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
