The Strongarm is a field knife with tactical design. The Garberg is a woods knife. Both very fine choices. If you want to do bushcraft type tasks in the woods, the Garberg is by far the better choice. If you want a knife that does a little bit of everything, get the Strongarm. Just my 2 cents.

comparing apples and pears. Mora is a woodsman, camping, hikers knife. The Strongarm is more utility, survival, army, bigger, longer, but with thinner hold/grip. The Mora is just a very good knife to have around the camp and can do it all, from woodswork to foodprep, compact but big enough to build that cabin in the woods (togetehr with your axe & saw). If you want to chop down trees take the strongarm or just take an axe does a better job. If you think armageddon is near take the strongarm. If you are out camping for the weekend or on longer trips take the Mora or the Mora Black.

The garberg is my go to field knife while the strongarm is more of a tough emergency knife I know I can rely on with my life, I don't even use it. I have many others that are more slicey or stainless for salt water fishing and such.

Great vid ! IMO the Mora is more of a bush craft/camp knife, and strongarm a survival/hunting knife. Hard to compare the two knives due to that reason. But also due to that reason, both have their place depending on what your into. Some people try to carry a knife that does everything. I like to have separate gear, and carry a folding saw (silky), strongarm (survival/hunt/hardcore), mora ( bush craft) and a folding edc knife ( Ontario Rat 1 D2) in my kit when I 4WD/camp/tour. Planning on Axe next to complete the kit. Thx again for the comparison, I enjoyed watching.

The strongarm is actually a stainless steel knife. Not a carbon steel. Although it says 420 High Carbon, it can be misleading. It has a carbon content of about .45% which is actually low. And about 13% chromium. Basically it's not a carbon steel knife nor high carbon in general. It's just high carbon for being a stainless steel. Carbon steel knives rust, but make up for it in being easy to sharpen and stays sharp for longer while also being tough. Great review tho I don't mean to be a Debbie downer lol

420HC is not even high carbon for a stainless steel. At 0.45% carbon, it is really a medium carbon SS, since most knife SS is 0.6% or higher. I prefer SS with 0.8% or higher. But do realize the Strongarm is a military design, which values toughness over hardness. Medium carbon steels can be very tough with the right heat treatment. For example, good axe heads usually use a plain 0.45% carbon steel. Too much carbon would make them too hard, risking chipping. The Strongarm has been brutally tested by the knife community. It is very tough. The Garberg Black uses a a very plain 1% carbon steel that is not over-hardened, but is a bit harder than the Strongarm. It is tuned to carve, split and chop wood, hold an edge and to be unlikely to chip. The Strongarm is tuned to carve wood, dig a hole in the dirt, cut open a can of beans, pry open a crate and dispatch an enemy sentry - it's a beater.

Garberg can 99% hard works almost same as Gerber strongarm, but mora garberg is better in work with wood (deeper cuts) and scandi grind is more easy for sharpening (blade angle).. Garberg has too better steel material.. and flat grind on strongarm can be problem in future, because flat grind needs profesional sharpening after longer time because grind lost geometry and will problems with very low edge retention if you dont realy profesional in sharpening knives.

The Mora Garberg is A bush craft/survival it has a Scandi blade. The strong arm has a 20 degree flat grind blade both are very good knives, I own both of them. I have two mora garbers knives, the carbon steel mora and stainless steel in Mora. The Mora Kansbol and the Eldris are better for food prep and Carving.

The Strong-arm is the knife I wished I'd had in Afghanistan, and no I'm not insulting the SOG Seal Pup I did have, but the Gerber is definitely a better knife in the long run, it pries better than it's meant to, would have absolutely murdered MRE packaging, scraping duties and I don’t doubt it woulda shanked the crap out of somebody had it been asked to do so, great knives, but definitely different mentality in use when designed.

The marketers kind of misrepresent the steel in the Strongarm. It is 420HC, which is a mid-carbon stainless steel. It is not high carbon, except in comparison to plain 420, which is very low carbon. In fact, plain 420 should not be used as a blade steel at all. The Garberg black is in basically 1095, which is a plain high carbon steel at about 1% carbon, no chromium and rusts very easily. The Garberg has a scandi grind, so it carves wood much like wood chisels do. Yes, it comes with a microbevel, but that will sharpen out evenually if you sharpen it to the large flat bevel and then the wood carving will get better. The Strongarm has a v-edge and will have less control on fine wood carving, but will be very durable and flexible for a mixture of uses. It is more or less a small military field knife in design and covers quite a range of uses and is built to survive tremendous abuse. It has a great sheath system.

The Garberg I have no experience with, yet. The handle of the Strongarm seems be focused at stabbing, like the thin handle of the CRKT Hissatsu. But the Strongarm has a very thick tip, sturdy, but lessens stabbing efficiency.

I hope this helps in your decision. If you have an opportunity to see and hold each knife in person, that will be your greatest guide. Some knives feel better in the hand and that will become the knife you actually use regardless of specs and logic. Looking forward to hearing which one you choose and how you like it.

The Gerber Strongarm made of 420HC steel which is a stainless steel not a carbone steel...

It is stainless steel yes. And therefor not called carbon steel. The 13% chromium makes it a stainless steel. Stainless steels have carbon in it , and .45% carbon as in 420HC is not high at all. 1055 steel which is carbon has already more carbon in it. 1095 even more etc. Calling it stainless is due to the chromium content.

I have both garberg knives . one with the leather sheath and one with the mounting set up .. On the one with the plastic I use both the strap and the belt loop . Strap goes on first then the belt loop then I use a ranger band to hold every thing nice and tight . I like the garberg knives ,I use the stainless steel in the rain and in the winter . I have to admit I don't use them alot . I use my Esee knives more . Thanks for the video . Hope you guys have a great year . Peace .

Thank you, Michael. Perfectly and directly conveyed. 🙂 I much prefer the Garberg. It is a lot more comfortable for me to hold. I like the sheath a lot; it is nicely minimalist. It works better for the types of things I do. After using it for a while, I do think I would prefer the stainless steel blade version of the Garberg. It would be less prone to rust. The StrongArm is clearly a more tactical knife. It's not as good of a fit for me.

Yes. Thank you @projekctx. @Cherry Bomb explained this too me in a kind and helpful comment. While it is "high carbon" (420HC) it's high carbon stainless steel. Here is a portion of that comment, in case it may help others too, "The Strongarm is actually a stainless steel knife. Not a carbon steel. Although it says 420 High Carbon, it can be misleading. It has a carbon content of about .45% which is actually low. And about 13% chromium. Basically it's not a carbon steel knife nor high carbon in general. It's just high carbon for being a stainless steel."

Neither is properly sharpened. That means, that you have also changed the angle of the edge bevel. All knives, that come with "v" edges, should be IMO reprofiled or at least, properly sharpened 3--4 times. If not, you will never see, how this knife can perform. Either in terms of cutting and slicing performance, or edge retention and edge stability.

I said that, because both these knives, really suck if you don't do, what I described above. Also, This Mora, is a bushcraft knife, designed to carve wood while the Garberg, is a tactical general use knife, designed mainly for Urban invorement. That means that Garberg is a knife that SWAT members would carry for examble.

@@greekveteran2715 The Strongarm , from what I've seen on video's a fat tip. Not optimised for 'combat'(stabbing through gear). And the handle seems thin, digging into the hand when cutting wood.

@@Ve-suvius Goodmorning my friend! These are 2 very different tools. Mora Bushcraft Black, is a great woodworking bushcraft knife, that excels at making a fire. Gerber Strongarm, is an overbuilt Combat knife, that I would suggest for more urban enviroments, let's say something like Special Police Forces troops, or any kind of unit, that operates near urban enviroments. Both have great heat treatment on the steel, however, Mora Bushcraft Black, has a way better quality built, than the Gerber, that comes with very poorly made grinds on both main and edge bevel, thus it needs a lot of reprofiling, to make it cut properly. Do not be confused with marketing and colours. The Bushcraft Black was made to look "tactical" but it's not such a knife. These 2 knives, are 2 completely diferent purpose tools.

It is a strong build knife, but to make it really function well, (cough cough)as a knife, you have to do a lot of work it seems. Wasn't the reason of the thick edge to make it somewhat invulnerable? So that it would be hard to damage when using it for non knife tasks. Which goes at the cost of cutting and stabbing efficiency. Typical knife tasks so to speak.

Looking at the way you wore it on the back horizontally, you mentioned skipping your rear belt loop. Like the way I wear my pistol holster, its best to put it through one loop of the sheath, run the belt through your center belt loop, then on through the second sheath belt loop. It eliminates slide, falling off easily, and when you pull the knife, it will keep it in one place.
