The Morakniv Garberg BlackBlade isn’t just tough on paper—it proves itself when you’re out there. On a damp morning in the Cascades, I used it to split kindling from a soaked log after an overnight rain. The carbon steel blade bit deep, the black anti-corrosive coating shedding moisture like it was nothing. With a few strikes through the grain, the firewood was ready, and a campfire was burning minutes later. The ergonomic handle never slipped, even with wet hands, and the leather sheath felt solid on my belt the whole time. It’s a knife that earns your trust fast—built for real work, not just display.
