The town of Mora in Sweden has been a center for knife manufacturing for many centuries. Naturally superior Swedish steel, combined with artisanal craftsmanship, has given rise to knives that have become famous for their ability to maintain a superior edge and be easily sharpened.
Made in the traditional way, all Morakniv knives with wooden handles are assembled by hand. The technique has not changed since 1891.
"FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION" Louis Sullivan, 1896.
This quote could have inspired Frost-Erik Erson's style when he created his first knives in the small town of Mora in 1891, after 4 years of working as a lumberjack in North America.
At that time, these utility knives placed function before style. But the simplicity of the functionality, combined with high-quality manufacturing, creates a unique beauty—an essential beauty that endures through the ages without ever fading.
The blacksmiths of Mora developed a functional style that became a classic, known simply as the "Mora Knife." Until recently, there were two major companies in Mora, KJ Eriksson and Frosts of Mora. They merged into "Mora of Sweden," now known as "Morakniv."
Manufacturing tools have been modernized, but the quality and traditional assembly techniques for wooden-handled knives remain unchanged.
Morakniv knives are now the benchmark for outdoor knives, used as much by Bushcraft professionals, woodcarvers, and construction craftsmen as by the Swedish army, for whom they are an essential companion in the daily life of soldiers.
