Mora 840 FAQs

Is the knife easy to sharpen? – Yes, The Scandi grind makes the angle of the blade easier to sharpen, it’s also made from Carbon steel which is quite a soft metal, although it may need sharpening more often, it will be sharper than a stainless steel blade. We recommend using a leather strop to sharpen the blade every 50 cuts or so. 

Should I buy the 860 Stainless Companion Instead? – If you want a blade to use and put back in the drawer or toolbox without worrying about then yes, if you’re looking for a bushcraft knife to use, keep razor sharp and look after then stick with the 840 Companion.

What is a Scandinavian grind? – A Scandi grind is a type of knife edge that has a single, wide bevel that extends from the spine to the edge with no secondary bevels. It is well-known for its simplicity, making it simple to sharpen with consistent angles with just a whetstone or sharpening stone. It is probably the most widely used grind in bushcraft knives.
