Is the blade stainless steel as listed in the details? High carbon rusts too easily where I live.

Oh great question - Hultafors says the following ... The blade is made from 2.5 mm carbon steel that has been hardened to 58–60 HRC. So I think you're going to be fine. Hope this helps - Bill / Unified4Adventure

Is the blade wider than the Mora Companion? What is the blade width?

Blade thickness: almost 0.1 in for the hultafors vs 0.08 in for the mora clipper (I don't have the companion but I believe the blade geometry is the same as the clipper(?))Blade width (from edge to spine/back at its widest/base): 0.72 in for the hultafors vs 0.8 in for the mora clipperThe tang in the Hultafors goes to about half into the handle (checked with a magnet).

Does this knife float?

No it doesn't float and it also rusts like crazy. Not the perfect knife for boating.

Is the handle hard plastic or grippy rubber?

Hard plastic. More grip can be had by placing a peice of bike inner tube around the handle. The handle is also MUCH smaller than the GK, I would personally reccomend the gk over the hvk, the heavy duty is much more comfortable to use.
