Classic style Mora knife
Modern Mora knives are often used in construction work

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

Types of Mora

Mora knives were mostly produced by the "KJ Eriksson" and "Frosts Knivfabrik" companies; they merged their brands under the "Mora of Sweden", later renamed to "Morakniv" brand, but a number of other knife-makers also make Mora-style knives.

The Morakniv 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]
