In honouring the King’s jubilee, we proudly present a historic numbered limited edition made with blades forged in high-quality recycled Swedish stainless steel and carefully selected curly birch handles, together with shimmering gold and leather details. The knives are graced with the royal symbol of His Majesty The King’s 50th anniversary, and are accompanied by a protective sheath in the official royal navy blue shade adorned with the Dalecarlian coat of arms. Each piece has been hand-assembled by our most skilled craftsmen at the knife factory in Mora, Sweden. The Classic King’s Knife is produced in a limited collection during 2023, numbered from 1-1523.

The Dalarna Adventures of Gustav Vasa
The Dalarna Adventures of Gustav Vasa
The story of our ancestors in Mora begins over five hundred years ago, when Sweden was in the Kalmar union together with Denmark and Norway. The powerful Scandinavian kingdom was reigned by King Christian II of Denmark. The discontent with the Danish king was great, not least from Gustav Eriksson Vasa, whose opposition had resulted in his being imprisoned in Denmark. But the 24 year old Gustav managed to escape.
After landing south of Kalmar in the spring of 1520, he began a long and dangerous march to Stockholm, the capital of Scandinavia. On his way, Gustav urged farmers and villagers to revolt against the Danish authorities, but to no avail. He then set his hopes on Dalarna, where the people were known to be tough and resolute, seldom giving way to decisions of authorities and kings.
Gustav was hunted throughout Dalarna by the pursuing Danes, but the people sheltered and protected him from King Christian’s soldiers. After a month fleeing through Dalarna, Gustav stood outside the church in Mora and spoke to the crowd. Only weeks before, his father and his brother, together with other magnates, had been beheaded in Stockholm’s bloodbath. Gustav asked how long they could accept such atrocities and urged them to take up arms. But the people wanted to confer with the neighbouring villages before deciding on war.
The Danes were in close pursuit and, before he could get the answer he wanted, Gustav was forced to take to his skis and continue his escape west towards Norway…
A few days later, news of King Christian’s brutal ravages throughout Sweden reached Mora, the people regretting then that they had not immediately supported Gustav. Mora’s two best skiers, Lars and Engelbrekt, sent in hot pursuit of the fugitive Gustav Vasa, caught up with him in Sälen. Gustav was persuaded to return with them to Mora to lead the fight against King Christian. On June 6th, 1523 at a national assembly in Strängnäs, Gustav Eriksson Vasa was elected king of Sweden.
