Description

The town of Östnor, 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 & sharpen easily

The smiths in Mora developed a basic functional style that became a classic, known simply as the “Mora Knife.”

Once they were made in every home by local craftsmen who passed down their skills from generation to generation

Erik Frost's village, Östnor, was one of these

When Frost returned to Sweden in 1891, after working for 4 years as a lumberjack in North America, he started a factory making sleds & carriages with accessories, dough dockers, cone pickers, timber handling tools & knives

"Frosts Knivfabrik" was born

Businessmen Krång-Johan Eriksson & Lok-Anders Mattsson founded the knife factory, Eriksson & Mattssons Knivfabrik in 1912

The company that would eventually become KJ Eriksson AB

The long histories of both firms finally became one to form Mora of Sweden

Mora of Sweden was granted Royal Purveyor by His Majesty the King of Sweden in 2011. To be eligible for a royal warrant a company must supply goods or services to a member of the Royal Family. These companies may use the Greater Coat of Arms to indicate that they are holders of a royal warrant. The present king has 130 appointed suppliers and the appointment is a sign of SUPERIOR Swedish quality

Mora of Sweden was formed in 2005 through the merger of Frosts Knivfabrik & KJ Eriksson. The name reflects the important link between their products, the town of Östnor, Mora and its Swedish origin

A Morakniv (Mora knife) is always a knife from Mora of Sweden

The company is still family-owned and develops & manufactures knives which are delivered to all parts of the world

Land in villages North of Mora are rich in raw materials & there was a long history of making iron & working with metals

To be honest all of their knives leatherwork, that I have seen over the 25 years of trading (About 10-12? of these "Morakniv" ) have all been similarly finished.
