ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Paring Knife Classic 1891 (S) is the smallest tool in the kitchen, designed to handle small ingredients with great precision. The 8.6 cm stainless steel blade delivers clean cuts when slicing fruit and vegetables, while the red-stained birch handle sits securely and comfortably in the hand.

Classic paring knife with timeless quality

Paring Knife Classic 1891 (S) features a rustic design inspired by the first Morakniv, with a Swedish, red-stained birch handle shaped for a comfortable grip. The compact 8.6 cm blade offers excellent precision and is made from stainless steel with long-lasting sharpness.

Perfect fruit knife for detailed work in the kitchen

Thanks to its small size, the knife is ideal for peeling fruit and vegetables, coring, decorating or performing precise cuts with full control.

Safe and easy to handle

This well-balanced knife has a barrel-shaped handle that fits naturally in the hand, with an integrated finger guard for safe use. Stainless steel ferrules protect the wood from moisture and bacteria. The rounded spine and tip make it easy to scrape the board and help reduce the risk of injury.

Stainless steel with long-lasting sharpness

The 86 mm long and 2 mm thick blade is made from Swedish stainless steel (10C28Mo2) with a recycling rate of over 80%. The steel is easy to maintain and offers excellent edge retention. With a hardness of 57 HRC and an 18° sharpening angle per side, the blade ensures clean, controlled cuts.

Hand-assembled in Mora, Sweden

All components are made in Sweden, and the knife is hand-assembled at Morakniv’s factory in Mora – the result of over 130 years of knife-making tradition.
