This genuine classic craft knife has been part of the Swedish craft tradition for over a century. It’s also easy to re-sharpen, so you can use it again and again.
With a barrel-shaped red-stained birch handle, finger guard and a 2.5 mm thick carbon steel blade, no task is impossible. The polymer sheath has a polished finish and is clad with the Dalecarlian coat of arms. Complemented by a belt loop of Swedish vegetable-tanned leather, it is designed to withstand the test of time for generations to come. Carbon steel rusts, so wipe and oil the blade after use. These characteristic craft knives with red-stained birch handles were first introduced about a hundred years ago with the ambition of imitating an exclusive mahogany-handled knife. Since then, the Morakniv Classic has grown to become one of the most beloved lifestyle knives in the world. A timeless Morakniv knife in its purest form. Generations of craftsmen and artisans throughout history have used, personalised and refined the knives to meet their own needs, making the Morakniv Classic a part of unforgettable memories and an invaluable part of the future.

New Morakniv Classic knives vs previous
The previous Morakniv Classic No. 1 and No. 2 had a glued tang, something that was due to that we used the same blade for the Morakniv 510, old Morakniv 511 and the HighQ collection (same blade as Classic No 1) as well as for the Morakniv 521, Morakniv 711, Morakniv 911, Morakniv Companion and more that had the same blade as the Morakniv Classic No. 2. The new collection Morakniv Classic knives have a full rat-tail tang that runs through the handle completely and is riveted at the back-end. You can also see some traces from the woodturning machine making the handles, as its previous version had a cross pressed into the wood to get the torque when milling the handle. It has been replaced with a diamond-like shape that we refer to as our rhomb, a design pattern on our knives.
The edge angles and blade shapes are basically the same, only the new Morakniv Classic No 3 has a slightly shorter blade, than the previous one.
Also keep in mind that the sizes and shapes always have varied some between the different knife manufacturers and also over time, and as we are the only ones left we made our new Morakniv Classic knives to honour all the knife manufacturers that ever was in Mora.
I purchased this knife because I wanted an older style look an feel for an every day knife. This knife is perfect. The length of the blade, the shape of the handle,and the weight is perfect. Please don’t stop making this knife. The old way is the best way.
