MORAKNIV Classics

Truly classic designs can be as much of a force in the present as they have been in the past. A Morakniv is always made in Mora, Sweden, in the village of Östnor, where the company has been located for centuries. Firmly anchored in a long tradition of craftsmanship, its first factory was founded on the outskirts of Mora in 1891. It successfully combined the benefits of hand-forged blades and industrial manufacturing. The result was a knife with a grip-friendly handle and a very sharp, robust blade. Today, the knives from Morakniv are known for their high quality and consistency, and they’re recognized as a national symbol of Sweden.

Morakniv has been granted a Royal warrant of appointment by His Majesty the King of Sweden. It is an honor awarded to companies as proof that the company’s products are appreciated by a member of the Royal Family.

CLASSIC REVAMP

The Morakniv Classics are made of carbon steel and are easily identified by their characteristic barrel-shaped, red-stained birch handles. They have first introduced around 100 years ago with the ambition to portray an exclusive mahogany knife. The new polymer sheath has an elegant, polished look donning the Swedish Coat of Arms. This is complemented with a belt strap made of Swedish vegetable tanned leather, designed to stand the test of time for generations to come. The edge angles and blade shapes are basically the same but now have rat-tail tangs.

KITCHEN KNIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE DULL

I have a confession to make. See if this sounds familiar. I take meticulous care of the knives I use for everyday carry, hunting, and general woods wandering. I wipe them down with an oily cloth after use and I never let them get too dull. Seldom do I have to restore a damaged edge. Most of the time I simply touch up the edges of my pocketknives with a few careful strokes across the rough bottom of a ceramic coffee cup. That’s usually all that’s needed. I don’t use my knives as screwdrivers or pry bars. As a matter of fact, I still have the very first knife I ever owned, an old Boy Scout knife that was handed down from my older brother. The blades have a deep patina that comes with using carbon steel over the years, but the knife is very usable still.
