Mora knife

Mora knife (in Swedish: Morakniv) is a term used to refer to a range of belt-knives manufactured by the cutleries of the town of Mora in Dalarna, Sweden, primarily by Mora of Sweden. In Sweden and Finland, Mora knives are extensively used in construction and in industry as general-purpose tools. Most Mora knives are similar in design to Finnish puukkos.

The forging of Mora knives dates back to medieval sword-smithing tradition. The proper way to pronounce "Mora" is with a long o ("moo-ra").

Types of Mora

There are two main styles of Mora knife in common use today; the newer synthetic-handled varieties and the so-called "classic" style, made in a large variety of sizes. The Mora of Sweden company uses blades of 12C27 stainless steel, UHB-20C carbon steel, Triflex steel, or very hard (HRC61) carbon steel laminated between softer alloyed steel.^[1]

Mora knives were mostly produced by the "KJ Eriksson" and "Frosts Knivfabrik" companies; they merged their brands in 2008 under the "Mora of Sweden" brand.
