4 steak knives in stainless steel, cyrly birch handles
Steak Knife Masur Set of 4 (S) is a set of four sleek steak knives designed by Michelin-starred chef Mathias Dahlgren and designer Mårten Cyrén. The knives are well balanced, featuring handles made from Finnish curly birch that fit comfortably in the hand, and 12 cm long, narrow blades in Swedish stainless steel with flat grind for razor-sharp precision.
Steak Knife Masur showcases a sleek Scandinavian design developed in collaboration with Mathias Dahlgren and Mårten Cyrén. The Finnish curly birch handles boast unique grain and luster, offering a well-balanced and comfortable grip. The 12 cm blades are made of stainless steel that holds its edge for a long time and is easy to sharpen.
The sleek design is the perfect finishing touch on your table, enhancing the dining experience. The 12 cm long, narrow blades in high-quality Swedish stainless steel effortlessly and precisely slice through meat.
The knives feature stylish, ergonomic handles crafted from Finnish curly birch, with natural variation in grain and colour. The wood comes from a supplier with PEFC certification, ensuring responsible forest management. The stainless steel ferrule between blade and handle is not only a tasteful detail but also adds weight and balance while preventing moisture and bacteria from penetrating the wood.
The blades are 120 mm long, 2.5 mm thick, and narrow in shape. Made from Swedish stainless steel (12C27) with a recycling rate over 80%, they have a hardness of 56.5 HRC. The steel offers long-lasting, razor-sharp edge retention and is easy to sharpen. The blades are flat-ground with a total sharpening angle of 34 degrees (17 degrees per side) for even and precise cuts and polished twice.
All components are made in Sweden, and the knives are hand-assembled at Morakniv’s factory in Mora – a result of 135 years of craftsmanship.

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.
