For the tenth anniversary of the Color of the Year, Morakniv has drawn inspiration from the clear blue waters of Lake Siljan and the Dala Red™ cottages around Mora, in the heart of Dalarna.
The highly-regarded craft knife from Morakniv is designed to meet all the needs of a construction worker. With an ergonomic handle and substantial finger guard, you get a secure grip for cutting, scraping, prying, or scoring various materials. The Swedish stainless steel knife blade provides superior sharpness, ensuring the knife performs reliably every time. Perfect for those who demand world-class quality tools.
The 9 cm polished knife blade is made from Swedish stainless steel, 12C27, with a recycling rate of over 80% from the steel producer. combined with expertise in hardening and metallurgical knowledge, results in a blade with a balanced combination of hardness, toughness, and edge retention.
Through a carefully honed heat-treatment process developed over 130 years in the Morakniv factory, each knife blade achieves optimal sharpness and resilience. First, the blade steel is heated to over a thousand degrees in a controlled environment, then gradually cooled to room temperature. Finally, the knife blade is tempered at several hundred degrees to enhance its performance, After this heat treatment, the knife blade achieves a hardness of 56.5 HRC.

The knife blade is side-ground under meticulous control, followed by precision sharpening of the edge, where the knife receives its Scandi grind through the honing phase. Finally, the knife blade is polished in two steps, a rough polish followed by a fine polish. Since the knife spine is not compatible with a fire starter, it is left unprocessed, with visible traces from the stamping stage. The knife blade is now ready for handle attachment, which is done using fully automated injection molding machines.

The ergonomic handle, made from high-quality polymer, is injection molded in three layers onto the knife tang, making the final knife construction robust and durable. Simultaneously, the knife sheaths are produced in parallel with the knives in the same fully automated robotic cell, ensuring a perfect match in both color and form.
The knife sheath features a practical button adorned with the coat of arms of Dalarna in the shape of a shield, serving as a historical guarantee of quality and craftsmanship. During the same injection molding process, the sheath is equipped with an integrated belt clip, which allows for attachment to a tool button on workwear, a belt or to be connected with another Morakniv.
Each component is meticulously developed and crafted with masterful quality by skilled craftsmen at the Morakniv knife factory in Mora, Sweden.
