6 steak knives in stainless steel, red birch handles
Steak Knife Classic Set of 6 (S) is a set of six steak knives with an elegant design that enhances both table setting and dining experience. The knives are well balanced, with barrel-shaped, red-stained birch handles that fit comfortably in the hand, and 10 cm blades made of Swedish stainless steel that cut meat easily.
Steak Knife Classic features a classic design inspired by the original Morakniv, with handles in red-stained Swedish birch that offer a well-balanced and comfortable grip. The 10 cm long blades are made of stainless steel that retains sharpness and is easy to sharpen.
The knives’ elegant design lifts both the table setting and the dining experience. The 10 cm polished blades made of high-quality stainless steel cut meat easily and precisely.
The well-balanced steak knives have stylish barrel-shaped birch handles that fit comfortably in the hand. Between the blade and handle is a stainless steel ferrule giving the knives a rustic look, balanced weight and comfort, while protecting the wood from moisture and bacteria.
The 100 mm long and 2 mm thick blades are made of Swedish stainless steel (12C27) with a recycling rate above 80%. The steel offers lasting sharpness and is easy to sharpen. The blades have a hardness of 56.5 HRC, are ground with an 11.5° angle per side for even cuts, and polished twice.
All parts are made in Sweden and the knives are hand-assembled at Morakniv’s factory in Mora – a result of 135 years of craftsmanship.
Our products are intended for both hobby and professional use within cooking, outdoor activities, hunting, craft, woodcarving, and more. Please read this manual carefully before use. Improper use may lead to injury.

KNIFE MATERIAL
Avoid dishwashers as detergent, heat and prolonged moisture can damage the blade, edge and handle. Sharp knives can also damage the interior of the dishwasher, and there is a risk of cutting yourself when loading or unloading it.
Never leave the knife in water or in a sink, as moisture can cause the wood to swell and crack. Rinse the blade in warm water after use, clean the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and always dry the knife immediately.
The handle is lacquered and has a sealed surface that prevents oil from penetrating the wood. If you apply oil, it will remain on the surface and may become sticky or rancid over time.
The blades in Morakniv’s kitchen knives are made from stainless steel. A more accurate term is corrosion resistant steel – it resists rust better than carbon steel but can still develop spots or corrosion if left dirty or wet. Therefore, keep the blade clean and dry after use.
Store your knife on a magnetic knife strip or in a knife stand. Do not store it in a knife block, as these are difficult to clean inside and can collect bacteria. The edge may also wear against the wood when inserting or removing the knife, and moisture can become trapped in the slot if the knife is not completely dry.
When transferring chopped ingredients from the cutting board, turn the knife over and use the spine. Scraping with the edge can bend the very thin outer part of the edge and make the knife dull more quickly.
Use a honing steel to realign the edge between sharpenings and sharpen the knife when needed.
