This is pretty much the thickest Morakniv blade you can find (same as Garberg) but still thin in itself sitting at 0,127''. Mixed with a real scandi grind, it trully excels in wood work, as well as food prep!! One should not be deterred by its appearance and price, it's actually genius piece of a tool with incredible steel and heat treatment knowledge. Those new Craftline Moras are some of the best handle shapes you can find for working a long time despite having wrist issues. This high carbon blade can oxide in a matter of hours if not cleaned after use, you should go with Stainless Companion if this is an issue. Otherwise, they both offer quite similar blade performance and edge retentions, which are simply outstanding for the price. A1
