The Morakniv Classic No. 2 stands as a symbol of Sweden’s proud knife-making tradition, a design that has endured for over a century. Handed down through generations of craftsmen, farmers, and outdoorsmen, the Classic embodies the straightforward utility and honest workmanship that Mora has become world-renowned for.
Forged from carbon steel, the blade carries with it the character of traditional Scandinavian knives—easy to sharpen to a razor edge, responsive in the hand, and dependable for everyday use in both field and workshop. Like all carbon steel tools, it asks for a little care: keep the blade clean and dry, and in return it will offer decades of service, its patina telling the story of its work.
The barrel-shaped birch handle, stained in the iconic deep red, was first introduced over one hundred years ago, crafted to echo the rich appearance of mahogany and to give the knife both elegance and practicality. This form has become synonymous with Mora itself, a handle design as recognisable today as it was in the early 20th century.
The knife is paired with a durable polymer sheath, polished and adorned with the Dalecarlian shield, a mark of its roots in Dalarna, Sweden—the very heartland of Mora knife-making. The sheath is fitted with a strap of Swedish vegetable-tanned leather, chosen for its longevity and its ability to soften and strengthen with age. Built to endure, it reflects Mora’s belief in tools that are not merely for the present, but for the generations to come.
For over a hundred years, the Morakniv Classic has been more than just a knife—it has been a companion to woodsmen, a staple in the craftsman’s kit, and a trusted tool for those who live close to the land. In its simplicity lies its greatness: a knife true to its origins, timeless in design, and steeped in heritage.
