handmade, reliable full tang bushcraft knife that can be used in vastly different situations on your next long-lasting adventure. The ergonomic shaped handle made of bright ash wood enables a variety of grips that can come in handy. The black knife blade made of recycled Swedish stainless steel together with its full curvature and drop point tip allows you to get the most out of your experience. The spine of the blade is also compatible with a fire starter.

The unique handle of carefully selected ash wood has a functional grip heel, and a 2.5 mm thick, black knife blade made of recycled Swedish stainless steel, which provides both strength and stability in every cut. Thanks to the blade and handle design, the knife is well-balanced and specially developed for precision work. The black PC-coating creates a balanced contrast between the bright ash wood and the shiny edge of the blade. The vegetable tanned leather sheath has a belt loop and protects the sharp edge from surfaces that can make the knife dull. Wit is also compatible with the accessory Morakniv Dangler 10 with Button, which allows you to extend the distance between the knife sheath and the belt.

The family names that tell our story

There has always been a strong craft tradition in Mora, thanks to the proximity to Swedish nature, rich in materials such as iron ore and timber. People from Mora have made sharp knives for the rest of the world for more than 400 years.

As long as there have been knife makers in the area, Anders and Erik have dominated men’s first names for several generations, just as Anna and Kerstin have done for the women. In fact, children were often given the same name as their parents or grandparents. When there were too many people in the same village named Anders or Anna, a family name was added before the first name.

The family name could be taken from a previous relative’s skill, an ancestor’s name, or from some geographical phenomenon. Then an Anna could be named Smids-Anna, whose ancestors were a blacksmith, or Anders could be named Sol-Anders because he came from the neighbouring island, Sollerön.

You see, these family names share a common thread throughout our history. That’s why we proudly present our new collection of wooden-handled knives. The names of which come from people who in one way or another were involved in the foundation for knife manufacturing in Mora. With the knives Finn, Wit, Lok & Rombo, we look decades back in time and note that the story of our dear Morakniv begins long before our company first saw the light of day.

Wit-Anders had an eye for what you could do with wood and steel,

and to make it look like something.

The story of Wit

Wit-Anders Eriksson worked day in and day out as a tool maker at the knife factory Frosts Knivfabrik in Mora. Not only was he a skilled craftsman, he was also known for his sense of form and interest in the design of knives. He also played a role in the creation of the beautiful Wit-Anders knives.
