A Mora knife is a small, fixed blade sheath knife that originates from the cutlery trade of Mora, in Dalarna, Sweden. Its design is plain and practical, with a blade made with or without a finger guard. These knives are widely used across Scandinavia in construction, industry and military work as general purpose tools. The name morakniv comes from the Swedish manufacturing tradition established in the Mora region, and modern versions are made in a range of steels, including stainless and carbon steel, chosen for durability and performance.
