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

Hi Phillip such craftsmanship has gone into making the Scabbard and knife fantastic listing b****9 (27 • 06:51 am, Wed, 1 May )Thanks for saying so Burt. 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. I expect there is a lot of pride involved in making these nationally iconic Swedish knives.
