Morakniv is quite renowned for its persistent tradition of making durable and brilliant knives. The brand has been creating razor-sharp and durable blades for the entire globe for nearly 400 years. Morakniv began its journey in 1891, at the exact time Frost-Erik Erson decided to come back to his village in Mora after spending almost four years living in North America.
After returning to his village, Frost-Erik Erson opened his first timber sled factory, and so began the story of the brand we all love today.
Morakniv has produced and introduced into the market an immense amount of knives that the world hadn’t imagined before. Whether you’re looking for a good mora knife with a shorter or longer blade, a knife with smaller or larger handles, a knife with variations of steel alloys, a knife with distinctive features, or a knife with specific properties: Morakniv has done it all.
My original Editor over at TTAK, Chris Dumm, said it best – “Moras make every other knife look like a rip off”.
There is a lot of truth to that.

mora love, no doubt. need mora than the few i have.
but this article, hoowah! pure syntax gold. they list their contributors as residing in canada, the u.s. and india. more specifically this means northern ontario, california and indiana hahaha oh man.
way too many brilliant fails; i’m shaking my head trying to convince myself that this wasn’t translated from chinese. i wouldn’t mention a typo unless it was really precious but this article is riddled with gems. too many to list.
“…increased reliability and toughness. The coating of black powder improves the steel’s corrosion resistance ability majorly.”
how does a coating improve toughness? and what the hell is majorly?
“…allows you to cut soft, tender meat…”
what an exceptional cutlery quality!
” This customization is design is easier to use than other Mora knives with a similar feature. Thankfully, the fire-starter does not stop you from simultaneously using the knife as it lengthens the handle slightly.”
i don’t know what any of that really means.
“… in case you ever needed to throw some light on shady paths…”
ok.
“…there is no lie about the fact that a leather sheath would be much nicer…”
no lie.
“Typically Morakniv focuses on making Mora knives…”
do tell.
“The quality ranges between carbon and stainless since D2 is not as strong as carbon steel but is much stronger than stainless steel.”
izzat so? whuddya know.

CMEAT: I agree with everything you stated about the “wordsmithing” in this article. Most of my fellow “WOTers” own a Mora, or two, or three . . . I do not own one; But, I have been tempted. Personally, I am okay with my EDC’s. Maybe I will get some “Companions” for Christmas gifts. I think Clay mentioned that he got his children the “Eldris” last Christmas. Back to the article, for me, the use of the terms “stronger than, or not as strong as. . .” should not be used to describe a blade’s steel.

No doubt a weirdly written article, but its heart is in the right place. The obvious answer to which one, is buy them all. Hocky – dip your toe in, right now Chicago knife works has 511s for under $7, and companion HDs for $16. Chris Dumm was right!
