The Laboratory

In the heart of our factory in Mora, Sweden, we have our very own laboratory and testing facility. Here, our
engineers and product developers are running repeated and continuous tests of both existing and future knife
models. Every step is a part of our continuous work to assure that the knives that are being delivered to you are
of the highest possible quality. To have a lab in our very own factory brings many valuable opportunities. We
can take a knife straight from the production line, and in a matter of seconds put it to the test in the laboratory.
This of course goes the other way round: as soon as we make an important discovery, or get an interesting test
result, we can instantly apply the new knowledge to the production process.
The laboratory facility holds many different kinds of machines and advanced technical solutions, tuned to test
and evaluate all the different parts of the knife. How much bending force can a Robust take? For how long does
a Chef's knife keep its extreme sharpness? As the results are being compiled and evaluated, we can make all
the adjustments and calculations needed to improve our high quality products even further.

The most important aspect
of any knife is its sharpness.
Our knives are known
and appreciated for their
ability to stay sharp for
a very long time. A great
part of that feature is of
course the grinding of the
blade. Another great part
are the repeated tests and
evaluations we run in the lab

Many of our knives need
to be flexible. This mainly
applies to our wide range of
food processing knives, but
all our models need to have
strong and reliable blades.
The laboratory allows us
to test and evaluate the
bending force, so that we
can ensure that the way we
treat the steel - according
to our SGM (Steel Grade
®
Mora) standard - is as well
functioning as ever.
