General Information
Swedish precision tool.
Carving has a long tradition in Sweden. So it's not surprising that the precision tool needed for it also comes from there. The notch carving knife from Morakniv is made of laminated carbon steel. The tapered blade has a three-layer construction, with the core made of very hard carbon steel and the two surrounding layers made of softer carbon steel. This makes the blade very sharp and edge-holding as well as resistant and stable against breakage. It is also easy to resharpen. The spindle-shaped handle made of oiled birch wood fits securely in the hand when working. Its long blade predestines the knife not only for carving work but also for other leisure activities in the wild.
By the way, the knife is traditionally used for carving the Dala horse. This custom has been practiced for centuries in the central Swedish province of Dalarna, the home of the company. First manufactured as a toy for children, the Dala horse achieved world fame in 1939 when a three-meter high specimen stood in front of the Swedish pavilion at the World's Fair in New York. Today it is the national symbol of Sweden. The dala horse gets its individual personality from the carver's knife.
Sharp and cutting by tradition. Mora carving knives.
The town of Mora in the central Swedish landscape of Dalarna looks back on a total of about 400 years of knife manufacturing history. That of Mora knives began around 1891, when the present Morakniv company was founded as a wooden sled factory. Soon, the company began to manufacture its own blades for the production of the sleds, more out of necessity than anything else. These quickly achieved fame and glory within Sweden and even beyond the country's borders, so that the factory soon focused on the production of high-quality carving knives and later on outdoor, fishing and cooking knives. With its sharp and cutting knives, the company Morakniv has now made a name for itself worldwide.
