The town of Mora in Sweden has been a center of knife making for many centuries. The naturally superior Swedish steel, combined with skilled craftsmanship, resulted in knives that became famous for their ability to hold a superior edge and sharpen easily. The smiths in Mora developed a basic functional style that became a classic, known simply as the “Mora Knife.” Until recently there were two remaining large companines in Mora, KJ Eriksson and Frosts of Mora. They have merged into "Mora of Sweden", but some stock is marked with the previous names.
Mora knives place function before style. But the simplicity of functionality has a beauty of it's own. The quality and prices are great, and they're one of the best knife bargains around. They have the flat Scandinavian grind that goes cleanly to the edge, and come from the factory very sharp. This style of grind is easy to sharpen without jigs or gadgets.
Carbon steel blades (UHB-20C) are hardened to 59 - 60 on the Rockwell scale, stainless blades to 57 - 58. A speciality of Mora is the laminated carbon blade. This is a three part sandwich, with a core of high carbon steel protected by sides of tough lower carbon steel. The core of the laminated steel blades is hardened to about 61 on the Rockwell scale. Normally, I prefer carbon steel over stainless steel, but I have to admit that the stainless Mora knives take and hold an excellent edge. They are made of Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel, hardened to 57 - 58 on the Rockwell Scale. For use around water, especially salt water, stainless may be the better choice. The fourth type of steel used in Mora knives is Triflex. This is a carbon steel hardended so the back of the blade is softer than the edge for toughness.
The classic Nordic knives come without a guard (like most kitchen knives). This enables you to make cuts you could not do otherwise, but you do have to be careful not to cut yourself. Once you are accustomed to it, it isn't a problem. I've been using them for over 50 years, and don't ever recall cutting myself because of a lack of a guard. Be careful though, they are really sharp!
One exception to this suggestion is hunting. When cleaning game your hands may be wet and slippery. When cleaning large game you may need to reach into the body cavity. If the point of the knife catches on a rib the knife can slide in your hand with nasty results. I strongly recommend a finger guard for a hunting knife.
Some of the older models come with sheaths have belt slots intended for very thin belts. It seems the wide and thick American style belt is not used in Europe. Many also have a slot for fastening to a button, such as a coverall button. This is very tradtional in Scandinavia, and modern coveralls as well as the folk costumes often have a button for the purpose. It's easy enough to open up the belt loop if you prefer. The sheaths are thermoplastic, which means they get soft when warmed. If you warm the belt hanger, and insert a piece of wood or even a ruler, it will keep the new shape when it cools. See the images.

There is such a variety of Mora knives that it can become confusing to choose. I’ve decided to list some of the newer and more popular models at the top of the page. They may appear again their respective groupings. Woodcarving and whittling knives are listed toward the bottom, as are fishing knives.

The Fire Knife is a joint venture of Mora of Sweden and Light-My-Fire, a Swedish company known for excellent fire steels. At first glance it looks like a variation on the Companion knives, but the pommel holds a fire steel. The spine of the blade is squared off to serve as a scraper for the fire rod. Like all Light My Fire products, the FireSteel works very well indeed. The stainless blade is about 3 3/4" long, 11/16" wide and .078" thick. The pommel locks securely onto the knife, and comes with a lanyard. The handle size is essentially the same as the Companion line, sized for average hands. The knife and sheath only weigh a bit under 4 ounces, so this would be an excellent choice for hikers. It comes in five colors, ranging from an unobtrusive black, to an easy to find international orange. The five colors are black, cyan blue, lime green, red and international orange.

Orange and Green are out of stock. More are expected about May 7th.
Swedish FireSteel by Light My Fire; Army Model; The Army model has a rod about 3/8" in diameter and 2 1/2" long. It comes packed on a lanyard with a striker. The assembly weights a bit over 1 1/2 ounces. Some folks prefer to keep a square corner in the back of their knife blade to serve as the scraper. It is said to last for about 12,000 uses. . Made in Sweden, $16.
Swedish FireSteel by Light My Fire; Army Model with Whistle is suppled with striker that has a comfortable plastic handle incorperating a whistle. The assembly weights about 1 3/4 ounces. It is said to last for about 12,000 uses. Made in Sweden, $17.
Swedish FireSteel by Light My Fire; Scout Model; The Scout Model is a bit lighter to carry, and has a red handle to help prevent loss. They are about 3" over all and come on a cord with a striking steel. The assembly weighs a bit over one ounce. The exposed rod is about 1/4" in diameter and 1 3/4" long. It is said to last for about 3000 uses. . Made in Sweden, $12.
Swedish FireSteel by Light My Fire; Scout Model with Whistle; Again, this is the Scout model supplied with a whistle in the
striker. $13.
I also have one with a yellow handle. Let me know if you would prefer yellow, otherwise I'll send the standard red.
Swedish FireSteel by Light My Fire Mini Model; for those truely concerned with weight and bulk the Mini weighs about a half ounce, complete with lanyard and striker. With the handle it's just under 3" long. It's rated at 1,500 uses. Supplied with an easy to find orange handle, the price is only $7.
The Bushcraft Survival; #11894 is designed for outdoor adventure. It has a 4 1/4" blade of Sandvik
stainless steel about 7/8" wide and .098" thick.
The sheath is provided with a firesteel as well as a diamond sharpening plate. It comes with packed with
two belt clips, the new style that encircles the belt, and the old style that
clips over it. (You get one sheath and two clips.) The spine of the blade is
squared to provide a scraping tool for the firesteel. (Never use the edge of the knife on the firesteel.)
The rubberized handle provides a high-friction grip even when wet. It's quite a nice piece of kit. The
firesteel works exceptionally well, and I found it easy to slowly scrape off slivers, then ignite them with
a quick stroke. The diamond plate makes touch ups quick and easy. The knife and sheath weigh just
over seven ounces. $70
#11859: The Morakniv Firesteel is available as a separate item, packed with a comfortable
plastic handled scraper. The rod is 5/16" in diameter and 2 1/2" long. It weighs only 1 1/2 ounces. $16.
The Bushcraft Forest has a 4 1/4" blade of Sandvik stainless steel about 7/8" wide and .098" thick.
The profile grind of the blade is the same as is used on the popular "Mora 2000".
The handle and sheath are done in a dark military green. The knife and sheath weigh just 5 ounces. $32.50

.
The Bushcraft Signal is similar to the Forest, but the sheath and handle trim are a bright florescent
yellow. $32.50
Click here for a still larger image.
.
The Bushcraft Force has a 4 1/4" Sandvik stainless blade with a more conventional Scandinavian grind.
This makes the blade more robust, and it's a bit easier to follow the bevel when sharpening.
The blade is about 15/16" wide and .098" thick. The grip is black and the sheath is olive colored.
The knife and sheath weigh just over 5 ounces. $32.50.
Click here for a still larger image.
.
The Bushcraft Triflex has a 4 1/4" Triflex carbon steel blade and conventional Scandinavian grind.
The Triflex blade has a progressive temper with a hard edge and tougher spine. This gives exceptional edge holding
combined with toughness. It's a carbon blade and will rust if neglected. The blade is about 7/8" wide and .098"
thick. It comes with an olive handle and black sheath. The knife and sheath weigh a bit under 5 ounces. $32.50.
Click here for a still larger image.
The Triflex blades are carbon steel, and prone to staining. Actally some of them come with some
spotting and/or scratches. This is cosmetic and won't affect the function. After you use it once or twice it will
be a moot point.
.
The Bushcraft DesertCamo is a variation of the Forest with a tan desert camo pattern on the
sheath. It comes with packed with
two belt clips, the new style that encircles the belt, and the old style that
clips over it. (You get one sheath and two clips.) $44

sheath. It comes with packed with
two belt clips, the new style that encircles the belt, and the old style that
clips over it. (You get one sheath and two clips.) $44
.
#1. In Sweden this was once the basic knife. If you asked to
borrow a knife, odds are this is what you would get. Now the other knives with plastic handles have become
more popular, but I still prefer the classic lines of the wood handles. The carbon steel (not laminated) blade is just under 4"
(100 mm) long, 11/16" wide and .080" thick. The 4" red painted birch handle is suited for average sized hands.
Current stock comes with 3/4 tangs.
Weight, with a functional black plastic sheath, is about 2 3/4 ounces.
Price: $12.00.
Classic Mora Knives
The same general pattern is available in other sizes as well.
They all come with high carbon steel blades
and black plastic sheaths.
Classic Mora Knives with guards
Some folks feel more secure using a knife with a guard. Guards are strongly indicated for cleaning and butchering large
game, expecially when working in the body cavitly. In Sweden it's common to start children with a knife having a guard.
When the child shows some skill with the knife the guard may be removed or reduced.
These knives from Eriksson have high carbon steel blades, and come with black plastic sheaths.
Original Classic Mora Knives
Before the introduction of modern plastics many Mora knife sheaths were made of a fiber called "Unica".
The fiber is actually stiched
as if it were leather. The belt tab has the traditional button hole attachment. The blades are laminated carbon steel
with full length tangs, about .102" thick. The
handles are unfinished birch. There are three sizes for nostalgia buffs.
#137. Here's an upscale version. It's the basic Mora knife as made by Frosts, with an unpainted handle and a leather sheath.
The belt loop on the sheath will take belts up to 1 3/4" wide. The handle is a bit small and works best with average or smaller hands. Besides being a fine all purpose knife, this would
complement any period (or modern) garb. The laminated carbon steel blade has a full length tang, and is about 3 7/8"
(97 mm) long, 11/16" (17.5 mm) wide, and ~105" (2.7 mm) thick. The handle is also about 3 3/4" long. It's
unfinished birch which can be stained
and finished as you wish, or just allowed to age naturally. The sheath has an attractive stamped design. The weight
of the knife and sheath is just under 3 ounces. $28
I sometimes treat the sheaths with a hot wax mixture. This makes them very stiff, almost like plastic, and darkens them as well. It improves durability and water resistance, and I think it looks better. The lower sheath in the enlarged image has been treated this way. If you plan to dye the sheath, add a liner, or otherwise modify it, you should not order this. If you would like this done on your sheath, add $4. If you prefer to do it yourself, there are instructions here. (The wax treatment is available only on the Swedish #137 sheaths.)
#40 has a 3 7/8" stainless blade about .098" (2.5mm) thick. It's the same size and shape
as the classic #1).The unfinished birch handle is about 4" long. I think this is the most useful size for general use. $29.00.
#39 is a smaller version with a stainless blade of about 3 3/8" long, and .079" (2mm) thick.
It has the same stamped crossguard, and a handle of about 3 5/8". This one is sized for younger children, but
still comes with a razor sharp blade. It's up to you to know if your child
is ready for a really sharp knife. It's priced at $24.
The Craftline series is a new release from the merged Eriksson and Frosts firms. The handles are a solid hard plastic cast directly onto the blades, with a second layer of softer textured rubber for imporved grip and comfort. They fit my average sized hands very well indeed. The sheaths are a semi flexable plastic and hold the knives very securely. They have a clip that fits belts up to 1 3/4" securely, and can be used with wider belts as well. They also have a slot to fit an overall button.
There also a "dual sheath" with a stud that allows you to carry a second knife of a different type on the front of the sheath. The dual sheath will fit any of the Craftline, HighQ or Companion series knives. The second knife can be any with a sheath having the button slot. The Craftline dual sheath is available separately for $3.
#10315; The Craftline Robust is a new model for heavy utility or Bushcraft work. The carbon steel blade is about 4 inches long, 3/4" wide, and .126" thick. That's about 1/8", and the thickest blade on a Mora knife to date. The handle is about 4 3/4" long, and proportioned for average size hands. The sheath has the usual belt clip that will securely take belts up to 1 3/4" wide, but can also be fastened over wider belts. It has the new dual sheath post described above. The knife and sheath weigh about 4 3/4 ounces. This one feels like a worker. $15.
#11201: The Craftline Allround is a general purpose knife. The Sandvik
stainless blade is about 3 7/8" long, 13/16" wide and .098" (2.5 mm) thick. It has the usual
Mora Scandinavian grind, and is hardened to about 57 on the Rockwell scale. This would be an excellent
knife for any outdoor activity, from hiking and canoeing, to dressing deer and small game. The knife
and sheath weigh only 4 ounces. $14.
#11999; It's also available with a black sheath. $14
#11392: The Craftline Ropeknife is a version of the Allround with
partial serrations. I'm not a great fan of serrations, but they are popular with sailors and
emergency responders. It comes with international orange trim and a white translucent sheath.
The knife and sheath weigh only 4 ounces. $17.25.
#11904; It's also available with a black sheath. $17.25
#11402: The Craftline Flex Knife has a flat ground stainless blade
about 3 1/2" long and only .047" thick at the base. As the name implies, it has a bit of flex, and
would be a good small fishing knife. It would also be handy in the kitchen. $17.25.
#11902; It's also available with a black sheath. $17.25
#11398: The Craftline Chisel Knife is a tool for carpenters and other
craftsmen. It combines the functions of a knife and a chisel. The stainless blade has a straight
edge 3" long, and a sharpened square end about 13/16" (.81") wide. The blade is a stout .096" thick,
and is beveled on both sides. $17.25.
#11905; It's also available with a black sheath. $17.25
#11401: The Craftline Punch Knife has a stainless narrow whittling blade 2 5/8" long,
1/2" wide at the base, and .078" thick. The ergonomic shape of the Craftline series helps
keep the hand off the blade, making this a good whittling or craft knife for beginners as well as
experienced users. $17.25.
#11901; It's also available in a black sheath. $17.25
#11403: The Craftline Installer has a stubby blade with an
edge about 1 3/4" long. It's done in the same stainless as the others, and is about a bit less
than 3/4" wide and .078" thick. It's intended for striping insulation from wires, or any other tasks
requiring a short blade and good leverage. I'm told it's an excellent pruning knife. $17.25.
#11903; It's also available in a black sheath. $17.25
#11672: The HighQ Allround Stainless has a slightly smaller blade than the Craftline Allround. The blade is 3 3/4" long, 11/16" wide and .079" (2mm) thick. The knife and sheath weigh just over 3 1/2 ounces. $11.
#11969: The HighQ "Safe Knife" is a variation with a blunt point. The tip of the blade is rounded, and not sharp. The stainless blade about 3 1/2" long and .078" thick. This could be useful for rescue situations, or use in inflated craft. Traditionally, blunt-tipped knives are sometimes used a training knives for children, but the edge is really sharp, and it's up to you to know if your child is ready for such a knife. $11.
#11675: The HighQ Allround Carbon has a carbon steel blade 3 3/4" long, 11/16" wide
and .079" (2mm) thick. This would be a good all arround woods knife for those who prefer carbon steel and
a smaller blade. $10
The sheath now comes with a stud on the front that can be used to
hold another sheath.
The "Dual Sheath" is available separately for $3.
#11673: The HighQ Installer has a stubby carbon steel blade 1 5/8" long, 11/16" wide and .076" (2mm) thick. $9.
#11674: The HighQ Chisel comes with a carbon steel blade about 3" long, 7/8" wide and .092" thick. Unlike the Craftline chisel knife, this one is beveled only on one side. the other side is flat. $12.50.
The Companion series is evidently intended as a replacement for the Frosts Clipper series shown further down the page. The handles are almost identical but lack the molded-in checkering of the Clipper series.
The fishing knives from Frosts have a different blade and grind. The stainless blades are tapered both from
the back of the blade to the edge, and from the hilt to the point. The blades are .051" or .052"
at the thickest part, and taper down to about .020" at the edge, where there is a small secondary
bevel. This pattern is designed to move through the fish with minimum resistance. They would
make excellent kitchen knives as well. The handles are the same as used on the Clipper series,
with solid plastic covered with a textured rubber gripping surface.
#896-F A fillet knife with a flexible blade of about 6 1/8".
It's based on the Clipper handle, with international orange trim for visibility. The
black rubber overlay has a molded checkering pattern for
a secure grip when wet. $19 Out of Stock
#893; A shorter fillet knife with a semi-flexible stainless blade about 3 1/2" long and .050" thick; $19.
#950; This is called a "roe knife" and is used in commercial fishing to remove fish eggs.
The form is similar to the European style gutting knife for big game hunting.
This style cuts the hide from the flesh side out, so it doesn't get clogged with fur like the
usual gut hook. It's also useful in removing flesh from leg bones, etc. The 2 1/2" blade
has a rounded ball tip to prevent puncturing the entrails. $26.
Soft Grip Mora Knives
These modern Mora knives have cushioned rubber handles with integral guards. The grips are
about 5" long, and work well with larger hands. They will
provide good control and comfort even in the cold and wet. The sheaths are a semi-soft
plastic that grip the knives securely.
#731. As above, with a longer 5 3/4" carbon steel blade .098" thick. $16.
#748. As above, with a longer 5 3/4" stainless steel blade .098" thick. The knife and sheath weigh about 5 3/4 ounces. $18
#749. As above, with an 8" stainless steel blade .079" thick. $24.00.
#511. I've started carrying these at the request of some of the outdoor schools. They have a hard red plastic handle, and a substantial guard. The handle is about 4 3/8" long, and sized for average and smaller hands. The carbon steel blade is just under 3 3/4" and .079" (2 mm) thick. The knife snaps securely in a hard plastic sheath. The weight with the sheath is about 3 1/2 ounces. The price is only $8.
#511-sheath; I have replacement sheaths for this knife priced at $1
#546. I've started carrying these at the request of some of the outdoor schools. They have a hard plastic handle, and a substantial guard. The handle is about 4 3/8" long, and sized for average and smaller hands. The stainless steel blade is just under 3 3/4" and .079" (2 mm) thick. The knife snaps securely in a hard plastic sheath. The knife and sheath weigh about 3 1/2 ounces. The price is $10.50.
I think this would make an excellent knife for the deer hunter on a budget. I’m normally not a fan of finger guards, but they have a definite place when hunting large game. One of the tasks in dressing a large animal involves reaching into the body cavity to free the internal organs. If the point catches on a rib the knife can slide up in your hand with nasty results. A large finger guard helps prevent this. The Sandvik stainless blade is properly sized and shaped for the purpose, as well as for general camp chores. It will hold an exceptionally good edge. The handle is cast directly onto the tang, eliminating any gaps at the join to trap fluids and bacteria. The bright blue handle is easy to see when you lay it down. The stainless blade is easy to care for, and holds an excellent edge.
#511-sheath; I have replacement sheaths for this knife priced at $1
#546-G; The same knife is available with a military green handle and sheath.. Again, the Sandvik stainless blade is just under 3 3/4" long and .079" thick. $12
#546-Y; The same knife is also available with a bright yellow handle and black sheath, These were part of an overrun that turned up in the warehouse. They have the older .098" thick sandvik stainless blade. While supplies last, they are $11.
#2000. This is the Swedish version of a survival knife. It has a wide blade with a dramatic
grind. The stainless blade is .098" thick and a bit over 4 1/2" long. The handle is also about 4 1/2". Handle and
sheath are military green and gray plastic. The center portion of the handle is slightly soft, and has a
textured surface for improved grip. The handle is sized for average to large sized hands.
The weight of the knife and sheath is just under 5 ounces.
$29.50.
#2000-ORANGE; The same knife is now available in a really bright international orange color. You should be able
to find this one when you lay it down. $29.50.
#440; The Sports Knife has a stainless blade, .078" thick, with a rather long clip and an
acute point. Depending on how far the blade is set into the handle, the length can vary
a bit, from about 3 3/4" to about 4".
The handle has the smallest diameter of fhe plastic
handled Mora knives, and would be better suited to smaller hands.
(The handle is about 4 1/8" long, with about 3 1/2" between the guard and curve at the
pommel.) Unlike the others, the sheath has a keeper strap, and will fit wider belts up to 1
3/4". The sheath can be used for either left or right handed carry. The handle and sheath
trim come your choice of five colors; yellow, black, green, blue or red.
The knife and sheath weigh a bit over 3 ounces.
$12.50.
#C-223; This is big knife designed for butchering large animals. It would also work nicely as a general
camp knife for food preparation, building shelters, etc. You could consider it the Mora version of
the Leuku. The carbon steel blade is about 8 3/4" long, 1 1/2" wide, and .072" thick. The sides of the
blade are left rough and discolored from the tempering process. This isn't rust or a defect, it's
the way this model comes.
The 5 1/2" hard plastic handle is molded directly on the tang and works
well with both average and large hands. The handle is shaped and textured for
a secure grip even when wet. The knife weighs about 6 1/2 ounces. The sheath shown
in the larger image is not longer available. No sheath is provided. $20.
#106. The basic Scandinavian carving knife from Frosts has a laminated blade with the core hardened to 61 - 62 on the
Rockwell Scale. The narrow blade is about 3 1/8" (~80 mm) long. The unfinished birch wood handle is about 4 1/4"
long (including the ferrule), and sizdd for average hands. It's supplied with a functional plastic
sheath for $14
#105; A carving knife from Frosts with an oversized handle. The handle is about 4 3/4" long,
and is better shaped to protect the hand of those unused to Scandinavian knives. It would also
give ample material for those wishing to carve their own style handle. The blade is 3 1/8" (79mm)
long, and shaped for fine carving. The core of the laminated carbon blade is hardened to 61 - 62
on the Rockwell C scale for the finest of edges. No sheath is supplied, $14.
#120; A traditional Scandinavian carving knife from Frosts. This is a detail knife with a blade of laminated
carbon steel about 2 1/4" (58 mm) long and .107" thick. The core of the blade is hardened to 61 - 62 on the
Rockwell C scale for the finest of edges. The handle is generously sized for a solid grip. $14

very sharp point for cutting fine detail. The laminated carbon steel about 2 3/8" (60 mm) long and .112"
thick. The core of the blade is hardened to 61 - 62 on the Rockwell C scale for the finest of edges.
The 4 1/4" handle is generously sized for a solid grip. $15.
#11488; "Wood Carving Basic" from Mora of Sweden. This is the newest in the line. The blade is 3" (78mm)
long, 9/16" wide at the base, and .079" thick. Again, the blade is shaped for carving, but is high carbon steel,
not laminated. The plastic handle is just a bit larger than the #906, and might work better with averarge to larger
sized hands. It's supplied with a functional plastic sheath. $12.
#73-164PS; This one is listed as a "Woodcarving knife for Children". It comes with a carbon steel blade just under 3" long, 5/8" wide, and .080" thick. There is a stamped
metal guard to keep the child's fingers off the blade, and the 3 1/2" wood handle is sized
for smaller hands. The knife comes with a plasitc sheath for $14
#73-164; This one is listed as a "Woodcarving knife for Children". It comes with a carbon steel blade not
quite 3" long, 5/8" wide, and .080" thick. There is a stamped metal guard to keep the child's fingers off
the blade, and the 3 1/2" wood handle is sized for smaller hands. The knife comes with a leather sheath
with a belt loop and snap fastener for the knife. Otherwise it's the same as the knife above. $26.50.
#162; Full curve carving knife, for carving bowls and spoons, etc.
sharp on both sides, as well as the square end. Since it's sharp on both sides it works
equally well with a left or right handed grip. $20

The smaller drawknives like this are quite handy, and are hard to find.
Some years ago when I wanted one to shape a gunstock, I had to forge my
own! $25.
#220. This the Frosts version of the drawknife. The carbon steel blade is about 4 3/8" long and an inch wide.
The handles have a slightly different shape to keep your hands centered. $27.
#188; This is a farrier's hoof knife, but it makes a good crooked knife for those who prefer
the North American style of curved carving knife. The "No Stain" blade is about 3" long, and sharpened on both edges. The stout grip is a bit over 5". The blade comes with a coarse
edge for hooves, and should be sharpened for use on wood. $ 17.
There is an interesting article on crooked knives posted by "Old Jimbo". I sometimes customize the handle of the hoof knife as well as reprofile the blade grind, but most folks don't bother.
#180; The #180 has a single edge, which allows a longer bevel more suited to wood
carving. The blade is a bit over 3", but only 2 1/8" is sharpened from the factory.
I haven't had a chance to work one of these up yet, but it looks good to me They come
in right and left handed versions.
#180-RH (right handed), $14.50.
#180-LH (left handed), $15.00.
#330; This is a farrier's knife used for coarse trimming of hooves and other rough materials.

wide and .097" thick. The rubberized handle is about 5 1/2" long. In old time woodworking
