Morakniv Knives History

Morakniv Knives have a history spanning over 130 years in the harsh Scandinavian wilderness. Founded in 1891 by Frost Eriksson in the town of Östnor, Sweden – Morakniv Knives originated from a desire to create superior cutting tools for local farmers, craftsmen, and outdoor workers.

The remote town of Mora was a fitting birthplace for enduring outdoor knives. Located in the frigid boreal forest of northern Sweden, the unforgiving landscape demanded tough, resilient steel blades. Early Moras focused on high-carbon steel and stick-style tangs secured by oiled wooden handles – a tradition that carries on today.

Through the 20th century, Morakniv garnered fame for dependable woodcarving knives used by the local Dalarna region’s craft industries. When Swedish troops adopted Morakniv as military issue survival knives in 1887 – their legend was cemented for ruggedness.

A steadfast commitment to skilled Scandinavian bladesmithing propelled Mora’s reputation globally. Their remarkably affordable yet overbuilt knives thrive as hallmarks of bushcraft, survival, mountaineering, and hunting. Iconic companions like the Wood Carving 120 continue centuries-old traditions alongside contemporary models featuring plastic sheaths and ergonomic grips.

For over 130 years, Morakniv Knives have shown no signs of slowing down – just like their fixed blades that stick from generation to generation.
