Morakniv Professional Food Industry Knives
Morakniv manufactures professional knives for meat processing, fish handling and food production — developed for specific tasks in demanding environments. The range is defined by blade geometry, length and flex grade, so you can select the right knife for each application.
All knives are manufactured in Östnor, Mora, Sweden. The blades are made from Swedish stainless steel Alleima®, giving you consistent cutting performance and corrosion resistance in professional food-processing environments.
The PUG handle — Performance Universal Grip — brings the range together in a durable, glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene design developed for repetitive work and demanding hygiene procedures.
The assortment includes metal-detectable blue options and individual QR codes support traceability throughout the product lifecycle.
The Steel
Swedish stainless steel from Alleima in Sandviken has been used in our knives for over a century — a hallmark of consistent quality. Over time, the share of recycled material has steadily increased, and today the steel contains 80–90% recycled Swedish stainless steel.
Modern stainless steel production rarely relies on virgin raw material alone. Recycled steel retains the same high material properties, and increasing the recycling rate helps reduce carbon emissions in steel manufacturing.
Our blades feature a fine microstructure that supports sharp, precise edges and reliable cutting performance in demanding professional environments. The steel combines corrosion resistance with balanced hardness and toughness, reducing the risk of chipping or cracking during repetitive food-processing tasks.
Each blade is ground for consistent geometry and predictable performance. The result is stable cutting behaviour, reliable resharpening and long service life in professional use.
Blunt Tip
Selected models are available with a blunt tip to improve safety during daily processing work. The rounded tip reduces the risk of accidental punctures while maintaining controlled cutting performance. Developed for professional environments where safety, precision and efficiency are equally important.
Traceability by QR Code
Each knife is marked with an individual QR code and unique serial number for reliable identification throughout its lifecycle. The marking is designed for consistent readability in demanding food-processing environments and supports internal traceability, process follow-up and quality control.
Color identification
The range is available in five colors: black, red, green, yellow and metal-detectable blue. The blue variant supports traceability and food safety in professional food production and HACCP systems.
Four flex grades
The range includes four flex grades — Stiff, Medium Flex, Flex and Extra Flex — enabling precise selection for different tasks. Extra Flex blades are developed for filleting, deboning and trimming where maximum adaptability is required while maintaining control and cutting stability.
It’s all about the grip
In professional food processing, control starts in the hand. Handle design plays a key role in safety, precision and efficiency during repetitive daily work.
The PUG handle — Performance Universal Grip — introduces a durable handle platform made from glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene. The refined geometry supports a secure grip, controlled rotation and stable handling, even during long shifts and demanding hygiene procedures.
Alongside PUG, the range also includes established handle concepts such as Ergonomic Grip, G-Grip, Uni-Grip and Progrip — each developed for different working environments and user preferences.
All handles are designed for professional use, providing stability, reliable friction and ergonomic shaping that supports precise movements and helps reduce fatigue during repetitive tasks.
Custom colors are available on request.
Handle
Ribbed pattern
The ribbed handle structure increases surface friction for a secure grip — even when working with heavy rubber gloves. The pronounced pattern improves grip stability and reduces the risk of slipping during demanding processing tasks.
TPE handles
Soft TPE handles help reduce strain on hands and joints during repetitive work. The double-moulded design combines a stable core with an etched rubber surface, providing reliable grip and control — even in wet production environments.
Rear-open handles
Rear-open handle designs allow quick repositioning during cutting and deboning tasks. The ergonomic shape and textured surface support controlled handling and help reduce fatigue during continuous processing work.
Handles with fingergrooves
Fingergrooves combined with a microblasted surface provide defined grip positioning and high slip resistance. The design supports controlled movements and stable handling during precision work and repetitive cutting tasks.
Grip
PUG – Performance Universal Grip
PUG is our next-generation handle design in glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene. The refined geometry supports a secure grip, controlled rotation and stable handling during repetitive work. The durable construction withstands demanding hygiene procedures while offering improved environmental performance compared to previous materials.
Ergo-Grip
Ergo-Grip combines a rigid polypropylene core with a soft TPE surface to reduce strain on hands and joints during repetitive work. The double-moulded design and etched texture provide secure handling in wet environments. The rear-open design allows quick repositioning during trimming and deboning tasks.
G-Grip
G-Grip is made from polyamide with a microblasted surface that increases friction and slip resistance. The open rear design allows safe repositioning, while variants with fingergrooves provide defined grip positioning and controlled handling during precision cutting tasks.
Uni-Grip
Uni-Grip is a versatile polyamide handle with a microblasted surface for consistent friction. The protective nose helps prevent the hand from sliding forward, supporting safe and controlled use. Designed for general processing tasks in professional environments.
Pro-Grip
Pro-Grip features a soft TPE surface combined with a stable core. The etched texture improves friction and secure handling, even in wet conditions. The ergonomic shape supports comfortable use during continuous processing work.
RMH-Grip
RMH-Grip features an extra ribbed structure that maximizes surface friction. The pronounced pattern improves grip stability, particularly when working with heavy rubber gloves. The wide finger guard increases safety in demanding industrial environments.
Metal-detectable blue – integrated safety and traceability
Selected models are available in metal-detectable blue plastic, where both the handle and knife sheath are made from a detectable polymer. This makes it possible to detect foreign objects in food production and contributes to increased process safety. The material is designed for direct food contact and is adapted for reliable detection in the metal detection systems used in industrial food production. The distinctive blue color also makes it easier to visually identify tools during work. For more information, please contact order@morakniv.se
The blades and flex grades
Morakniv’s food industry knives are developed to meet the performance and hygiene requirements of professional food processing. Blade geometry, length and flex are carefully defined to provide control, consistent cutting performance and efficient handling across demanding production environments.
The range is available in four flex grades, allowing you to choose the right knife based on cutting technique and task:
- Stiff – High stability and strong edge support for forceful or controlled cutting where rigidity is required.
- Medium Flex – A balanced combination of stability and flexibility for versatile processing tasks.
- Flex – Increased flexibility for controlled cutting close to bone and natural contours.
- Extra Flex – Maximum flexibility for fine filleting and detailed trimming where close contour following is essential.

Cryogenic Hardening for Edge Stability
Each blade undergoes cryogenic hardening to refine the steel structure and improve cutting performance.
The process increases edge retention and reduces internal stresses in the material, improving resistance to chipping and cracking — even during demanding processing work.
The result is stable hardness, longer sharpening intervals and consistent cutting performance.
