Companion Heavy Duty | Morakniv – Robust bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures

The Morakniv Companion Heavy Duty is a sturdy bushcraft knife from the renowned Companion series. This black knife is designed for heavy-duty outdoor tasks and combines Scandinavian reliability with modern materials. With its stainless steel blade and ergonomic grip, it is a reliable partner for camping, bushcraft, and survival.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a multi-day bushcraft trip, this knife proved excellent for splitting kindling and processing branches. The clip point shape cuts surprisingly precisely, although we noticed that the blade dulls a bit faster than expected when working with very hard wood.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The stainless steel blade with a hardness of 57 HRC offers good cutting performance for everyday use. This steel is scratch-resistant and remains reasonably sharp when cutting rope, food, and soft to medium-hard wood. The clip point blade shape ensures precision for detailed work.

Grip and ease of use

The TPE rubber handle sits comfortably in the hand and provides a secure grip even with wet hands. The knife feels well-balanced despite the thick 3.2mm spine. The texture effectively prevents your hand from slipping during intensive use.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

Perfect for beginners in bushcraft and campers looking for a reliable knife without complicated maintenance. Experienced outdoor enthusiasts also appreciate this knife as a practical workhorse. Less suitable for collectors seeking a premium finish or for EDC use due to its size.

Maintenance and durability

The stainless steel requires minimal maintenance: simply wiping it down after use is usually sufficient. For optimal performance, we recommend regular sharpening with a sharpening stone. The plastic sheath protects the blade well and offers high durability against the elements.
