The Morakniv Classic No 1/0 is part of Morakniv's classic range of knives. The range is a tribute to the Swedish handicraft tradition that Morakniv have been part of for over a century.
This knife, with its characteristic red-stained and barrel-shaped birch handle, has a 77mm long blade. Made from carbon steel, it is suitable for multiple purposes. The flat scandi-grind bevels permit easy sharpening and the all important control when using as a larger knife for carving. Morakniv Classics have a blade made of carbon steel, which makes the knives easy to sharpen. But requires more maintenance when exposed to moisture or corrosive environment. Make sure to keep the blade clean and dry.
A polymer sheath with a polished look is covered with the Dalecarlian shield. This is complemented with a belt strap of Swedish vegetable tanned leather, designed to stand the test of time for generations to come. In the decades since, it has grown into one of the most beloved lifestyle knives in the world – a timeless Morakniv in its purest form.
The previous Morakniv Classic No. 1 and No. 2 had a glued tang. The new collection of Morakniv Classic knives have a full rat-tail tang that runs through the handle completely and is riveted at the back-end. You can also see some traces from the woodturning machine making the handles, as its previous version had a cross pressed into the wood to get the torque when milling the handle. It has been replaced with a diamond-like shape that Morakniv refer to as their rhomb, now a design feature on their knives.
