The family names that tell our story
There has always been a strong craft tradition in Mora, thanks to the proximity to Swedish nature, rich in materials such as iron ore and timber. People from Mora have made sharp knives for the rest of the world for more than 400 years.As long as there have been knife makers in the area, Anders and Erik have dominated men’s first names for several generations, just as Anna and Kerstin have done for the women. In fact, children were often given the same name as their parents or grandparents. When there were too many people in the same village named Anders or Anna, a family name was added before the first name.
The farm name could be taken from a previous relative's skill, an ancestor's name or from some geographical phenomenon. An Anna could be named Smids-Anna, whose ancestor was a blacksmith, or Anders could be named Sol-Anders, because he came from the neighboring village of Sollerön.
As you can see, farm names are a common thread in our history. That's why we're proud to present our new collection of wooden-handled knives, named after people who in some way helped to lay the foundations for knife making in our region. With the Finn, Wit, Lok & Rombo knives, we look back centuries and realize that the story of our beloved Morakniv begins long before our company first saw the light of day.
