Knife Blade Basic (S)

The polished knife blade is made from Swedish stainless steel, 12C27, with a recycling rate of over 80% from the steel producer. represents a fine quality steel with properties ideal for both hardness 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 maximize the steel’s performance. reaching 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. Each component is meticulously developed and crafted with masterful quality by skilled craftsmen at the Morakniv knife factory in Mora, Sweden.
