Just picked up another knife. A Morakniv Kansbol Fixed Blade Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade at 4.3 inches. It wasn't very expensive at about $32, but seems very well made with a comfy grip. I plan on keeping it under the rear seat in my truck in case I need it. Not for self protection, but for times when I a knife of this type is needed. It is pretty sharp from the factory and able to cut hair, even more so after I sharpened it a bit more. Anyone have one of these? Opinions?

It sure is interesting. This is actually my second one. I gave the first to my brother in law. Not a bad price for a utility knife.
 
Yes, they make a knife called the companion that comes in all sorts of colors. I have one of those in Blue.
 
I have a few of the Companions around the house, in the trucks, tackle box etc. At about $15 they are a good knife. I think I paid less than $30 for the Kansbol. It is roughly double the price, but still cheap and I like it 10X better than the Companion. If nothing else the sheath is worth the extra cost. Even at double the price it is still an inexpensive knife.
 
Interesting grind. It looks like it is tapered in the width at the tip. That would make it a little weaker than the companion for brutal chores like processing wood or batoning, but would probably be a lot better for processing medium-size game. It looks like a hybrid Morakinv / paring knife.
 
It is hard to tell from the photo, but the front half of the blade is thinner for more delicate work. This isn't a heavy duty knife, but neither is the Companion. The Garberg is a very similar profile, but with a heavier, thicker blade with full tang construction. If you need a heavy duty knife the Garberg is the one. At about $70 is expensive for a Mora, but relative to everything else still isn't bad.
