Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade and Plastic Sheath 2.2-Inch.

I've had and lost or broken more knives then I could count. Cheap ones, expensive ones, you name it. I also spent the better part of 10 years as a meat cutter and manager for a meat market followed by several years selling knives and other equipment. So I love knives and definitely have opinions, including the opinion that "cheap" doesn't mean bad. I've had more cheap knives that I'd buy again and recommend then I'd ever recommend something like benchmade. That being said, for me this is as close to perfect for an edc as I could ask for. It's insanely sharp, has a great spine for scraping kindling and then throwing sparks from your ferro rod. The steel has held up well to everything I've thrown at it so far, and easily gets its edge back. I even used an old trick I learned with the corner of a hard cardboard box, using it like a strop to get the edge back. Fantastic little knife for food prep as well. The only negative i have is that my hands are fairly big so I can only get a 3 finger grip on this thing. Even with that though, the shape and material of the handle are fantastic which give a very positive and confidence inspiring grip. I highly recommend this knife. Fits in a pocket well, or use some paracord to make it a neck knife and attach your ferro rod to keep them together. The sheath has very good retention so the knife won't fall out but there's options if you don't feel safe with that.

I love this knife. While it isn’t necessarily the best Mora for the money, it also isn’t super expensive for the quality you’re getting here. I love that it has the unfinished blade spine, and I can confirm that this does help with using a fire steel. I’ve also seen reviews say that the unfinished spine makes it uncomfortable to use in a pushing based carving style. Firstly, I wouldn’t get this specifically as a carving knife, though for me it does work well for that in addition to other functions. And secondly, the spine hasn’t really been noticeably uncomfortable while carving, even when I do push the spine of the blade (which is at least 50-60% of the time for my carving style). Something I was skeptical about was the compound grind on this blade. But, even though this is a pretty small fixed blade, the compound grind actually does work well for it. It doesn’t sacrifice the ease of sharpening the blade, because the scandi grind angle actually remains consistent throughout the blade, so it’s still one relatively easy to find sharpening angle. And, the compound aspect of the grind allows you to have a greater variety of cutting angles when you need that kind of thing. In terms of blade steel, I think you’d have unrealistically high expectations for this price point to be disappointed by its quality. It’s nice and stiff, sharpens relatively easily, and holds an edge, even with a true scandi grind. This knife does come sharp out of the box, but with about an hour of work, some varying grades of sandpaper and strop, it’s actually really easy to take that sharpness up a notch and put a real razor edge on the knife. The handle is great for a guy with big hands like me, and the grip on it works well. My only real gripe with this is the sheath. For me, when I wear this knife and I go hiking, I can be jumping around a little, climbing a bit, and other higher energy activities. And I have had situations where it’s fallen out of the sheath because of an impact that I would really expect a good sheath to hold well against. Because of this, if you’re going to particularly active while wearing this, to add a quick release stopper knot on a land yard through the hole on the end of the handle to make sure everything is as safe as can be. Other than that, I’d strongly recommend this!

The Morakniv Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized knife has exceeded all my expectations. This knife is compact yet incredibly powerful, making it a perfect companion for outdoor adventures. The blade is sharp and durable, maintaining its edge even after extensive use. The handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring precision in every cut. One of the standout features is its versatility. Whether you need it for carving, preparing food, or any other task, the Eldris handles it with ease. The knife’s compact size makes it convenient to carry without sacrificing functionality. The quality craftsmanship is evident, and it feels robust and reliable. Additionally, the sheath is well-designed, keeping the knife secure and easily accessible. This knife is a must-have for anyone who values quality and practicality in a compact form. I highly recommend the Morakniv Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized knife to anyone looking for a reliable and versatile tool.

Perfect little knife for the lady in the garden who lacks knife skills and has tiny hands. Short. Sharp. Non folding. Simple sheath. And just enough of a blade to takle most tasks. Sharpening sticks for trellising. Cutting twine. Opening bags of soil and fertilizer. Cutting velcro ties. Cutting zipties and plastic packaging on new garden tools. The works.

The Morakniv Eldris is a compact fixed-blade knife that has proven to be reliable across multiple camping trips. Despite its small size, it feels solid in hand and well built. Ergonomics are excellent. The grip is secure and comfortable, even during extended use. The blade came extremely sharp out of the box and has been easy to maintain and resharpen when needed. Construction feels strong and dependable for a knife in this size category. It does not feel flimsy or overly lightweight in a negative way, but instead feels purpose built for outdoor use. The sheath is also well designed and holds the knife securely with no concern of it slipping out during carry or movement. Overall, it is a simple, effective fixed blade that performs exactly as expected. No issues so far and no real complaints after multiple uses outdoors. Pros: * Excellent ergonomics and grip * Very sharp out of the box * Strong, solid construction * Secure, well designed sheath * Easy to carry and use Cons: * None observed so far Final thoughts: A compact and reliable fixed blade that is easy to recommend for camping and general outdoor use. It delivers exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity.

Pretty decent little knife. I've got hundreds of them (knives, not this particular one,) so I think I can write a relevant review. It IS a very short blade, but it's stout, and capable of shaving hair off your arm straight out of the box. That's a really good starting point, as it's the first thing I test when I get a new knife. I probably look ridiculous walking around in public with large patches of hair missing on my arms, but I could care less. It's the first test of every knife I buy. Anyway, enough about my arm hair and back to the knife. Like I said, it comes very sharp out of the box. I've used this knife to carve wood with (that's really the best application, given the blade geometry,) and I've also used it to cut BBQ'd steak. It will perform the latter, but it's really better used for carving fine details in wood. The handle is a combination of hard plastic and softer "rubbery" plastic, and it snaps in place very securely in it's hard plastic holster. This is likely going to be more sought-after by folks that like "neck knives" (which I have never really been a fan of, but I can see how it'd be good at that,) and the holster has a provision for threading some paracord through it if that is what you're intending to use it for. Have had it for a month or three now, and have been using it frequently. The steel used here is pretty stout, haven't had to sharpen it since buying it, and it's very comfortable to use for my main intended purpose, which was for whittling. Would be great for camping, as other reviewers have noted, when using a fire-starter on the back of the blade, as it is a very sharp 90° grind and really makes some sparks when striking it on a magnesium sparking fire starter when you forget your Bic lighter at home or the zombies ate it. All in all, I would recommend this knife, and I look forward to trying out some of the other offerings this company has available.

excellent size, sharpness, and value for this knife. Only drawback I've found is being unable to tell if the blade is facing up or down when it's in the sheath. I wish they would provide a tactile indicator you could feel with your thumb when you're gripping the knife in the sheath with the blade side down.

I've been waiting for this little sucker since it was announced. I'm a big Mora fan. They are great blades for a little bit of cash. The eldris is no different. While I consider myself a knife guy, and have at least one with me constantly, I use them mostly for slicing. Whether it's opening a letter, a bag of peanuts, or cutting paracord, I usually use knives for slicing. In doing that, most of the blade goes unused. With a small knife like this, it gives you exactly the length you need for most tasks. The blade has a compound grind similar to that found on the Mora 2000. I like the original scandi grind better, but that's life. Oddly the edge isn't a true scandi grand, but has a micro-bevel. This does add a little strength to the edge, but again I like the original true scandi. It's a personal thing, so didn't deduct any stars. The handle is short enough to fine compact, but has enough length and girth for a good grip. The soft soft rubber over mold really adds traction. The crosshatch pattern on the hard plastic areas prevent moisture from making it slick. There is a diamond on each side that is indented more than the surrounding area. This acts as the locking recess for the sheath. The sheath is a typical mora affair. It has changed little from their last upgrade. Small lugs on the inside lip of the sheath lock into the handle indentions. It is much more secure than my rounded tip Mora with the teardrop locking lugs, but less positive than the classic Mora companion sheath. I got the model without the firesteel, and I was a little surprised to see it didn't come with a belt loop. The only place to attach a tether is through the lanyard loop holes in the bottom. I used some paracord to attach it to my belt loop and let it sit in my front pocket. I will eventually put some kind of loop setup on it because I don't care to carry this piece as a necker. Your mileage may vary. Overall a great little knife that is a perfect size for edc. Would recommend.

Me encanta el tamaño y la calidad del acabado, que lo hace útil para llevar encima y resolver esas pequeñas operaciones del día a día, como pelar, cortar, abrir, para las que dices, "alguien tiene...", y resulta que lo llevas en el bolsillo. Su diseño es también muy bonito. Un cuchillo muy singular que para mí, es ya un clásico.

Das Morakniv Eldris überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Der grüne Kunststoffgriff liegt sehr gut in der Hand und bietet dank der rutschfesten Einlage ein sicheres Handling, auch bei Nässe oder Kälte. Das Messer ist besonders kurz gebaut, dadurch äußerst kompakt und platzsparend. Ideal für Camping, Wandern oder als Begleiter im Revier. Durch seine geringe Klingenlänge ist es außerdem waffengesetzkonform, was es zu einer praktischen Wahl für unterwegs macht. Ich nutze es vor allem zum Auslösen von erlegtem Wildgeflügel direkt im Feld , hier spielt das Eldris seine Stärken voll aus: präzise Schneidleistung, perfekte Handhabung und geringes Gewicht. Wie gewohnt bei Mora: exzellente Verarbeitungsqualität, super scharf ab Werk und sehr robust. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Messer für alle, die ein zuverlässiges, kleines und vielseitiges Werkzeug suchen.

Super petit couteaux

Sehr scharfes Messer zum Wandern wie beschrieben sehr gut zu gebrauchen.

ソロキャンプの時のかさばらない予備や、 仕事終わりにちょっとだけ焚火したいとき用の小さくてしっかりした(フォールディングでない)ナイフを探してました。 用途十分力を発揮してくれています。 箱出しでも軽くフェザー作るくらいの切れ味はしっかりとありましたよ。(個体差あるかもしれませんが) amazonのレビューに多い、用途が違うことを求めての低評価(このナイフで大きな薪をバトンしようと思ったら短かった等)を書かれる方は想像力が足りないのでしょうか。 きちんと物を見て買うものを選んで欲しいところです。良いものなのにレビューが悪くなる。 刃の背の部分がしっかりエッジ出ているのでファイアスチールも擦れそうですよ。 見た目も可愛いのでおススメです。
