Morakniv Basic 511 Carbon Steel

Classic style Mora knife

Modern Mora knives are often used in construction work

A mora knife (Swedish: Morakniv) is a small sheath knife. It is a fixed blade knife, with or without a finger guard. The term originates from knives manufactured by the cutleries in Mora, Dalarna.^[1] In Sweden and Finland, Mora knives are extensively used in construction and in industry as general-purpose tools. Mora knives are also used by all Scandinavian armies as an everyday knife.^[2]

Types[]

Mora knives were mostly produced by the KJ Eriksson and Frosts Knivfabrik (Frost's Knife Factory) companies; they merged their brands under Mora of Sweden, later renamed , but a number of other knife-makers also make mora-style knives. The Morakniv company uses blades of 12C27 stainless steel, UHB-20C carbon steel, , or very hard (HRC 61) carbon steel laminated between softer alloyed steel.^[3]

Other manufacturers of mora-type knives are Cocraft a house brand of Clas Ohlson,^[4] Best Tools and Hultafors.^[5]
