Ferrules withy Dalarna’s coat of
arms
The ferrules are made of precision
cast stainless steel which gives
the knife a rustic look and creates
a comfortable weight and balan-
ce. Dalarna’s coat of arms, which
has always been one of the main
characteristics of Morakniv, is
embossed in the back. It stands as
a guarantee of quality and crafts-
manship.

The handle
The handle consists of red or
black stained Swedish birch and
has an barrel shape. It’s related
to our classic knives, but with the
shape adapted to kitchen use. This
provides improved
ergonomics and a more stable
grip, making your time in the
kitchen more enjoyable.

The finger guard
Morakniv is a locally owned
family business that takes pride
in administering such a strong
and popular symbol of Mora
and Sweden. Sustainability and
responsibility are living parts of our
culture. Therefore, it is natural for
us to manufacture safe and secure
products. With that in mind, we
have developed a finger protection
that is specifically designed to fit

The blade
We use stainless Swedish steel
14C28N. The steel is hardened and
tempered to 58 HRC according
to our SGM (Steel Grade Mora)

standard that gives each knife the
optimal combination of features
for its intended use. The knife
edge bevels are ground on both

sides of the blade to 18°, giving
a total edge angle of 36°. The
blade has a tapered profile typical
for all Morakniv knives. Together
with the rounded tip of the blade,
this makes the knife harmonious,
balanced and safe to use. The
blade is polished following the
classical food processing tradition,
where a polished blade is a
requirement in the regulations for
hygiene standards.
Color

The dark red color was initially introduced to make the birch mimic the more upmarket mahogany. Today the
red wooden handle has developed its own identity which is symbolic of Sweden. In addition to this signature
color, we have also created a black series in which our tradition of craftsmanship interacts with a more modern
Scandinavian design profile.
