ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Utility Knife Classic 1891 (S) is a medium-sized kitchen knife that masters all tasks where the chef’s knife feels  too big and the paring knife too small: chopping herbs, slicing root vegetables and cutting fruit. The knife combines  a classic red-stained birch handle with a 12.8 cm stainless steel blade that delivers razor-sharp precision. 

 

Utility knife in classic design with modern function


Utility Knife Classic 1891 (S) features a rustic design, inspired by the first Morakniv, with a red-stained birch  handle that sits comfortably in the hand. The medium-sized vegetable knife has a 12.8 cm blade that handles many  different kitchen tasks and is made from stainless steel with lasting sharpness.

All-round knife for chopping, slicing and cutting 

This utility cooking knife is the perfect complement when the chef’s knife is too large and the paring knife too small. Use it to chop herbs, slice root vegetables or cut fruit quickly and easily. 

Safe, comfortable and easy to use in the kitchen


This well-balanced knife has a barrel-shaped handle that fits naturally in the hand, with an integrated finger guard for safe use. Stainless steel ferrules protect the wood from moisture and bacteria. The rounded spine and tip make it easy to scrape the board and help reduce the risk of injury.

Stainless steel with lasting sharpness

The 12.8 cm blade is made from Swedish stainless steel (10C28Mo2) with a hardness of 57 HRC and lasting sharpness. The blade is 2 mm thick with an 18° sharpening angle per side (36° total) – delivering precise, even cuts and making the knife easy to maintain and sharpen.

Hand-assembled in Mora, Sweden


All components are made in Sweden and the knife is hand-assembled at Morakniv’s factory in Mora – the result of over 130 years of knife-making tradition.
