A part of our history

The Morakniv Classic knives are a true story. They are our tribute to the Swedish handicraft tradition that we have been part of for over a century. The Classic carbon steel knife with the characteristic barrel-shaped, red stained birch handle was first introduced around one hundred years ago with the ambition to portray an exclusive mahogany-knife.

In the decades since, it has grown into one of the most beloved lifestyle knives in the world – a timeless Morakniv in its purest form. Generations of woodcarvers, carpenters and craftsmen have been using, personalizing and improving the Classic knives ever since. Making it a part of their past memories and an indispensable part of their future.
