Blade-making in the area goes back centuries before that. The modern company grew out of two local factories, Frosts Knife Factory and KJ Eriksson, which merged in 2005 and took the Morakniv name in 2016. Every knife is still made at the same site in Dalarna. The Companion is the knife most people picture when they hear \"Mora.\" It keeps the light, simple design of traditional Swedish work knives and adds a modern molded handle and sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSandvik 12C27 Steel and the Scandi Grind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe blade is Sandvik 12C27, a Swedish stainless steel hardened to 56 to 58 HRC. It holds a keen edge, stands up to everyday work, and resists rust in wet conditions. The edge uses Mora's Scandi grind, a single flat bevel running from mid-blade to the edge. It bites cleanly into wood, and you can resharpen it by laying the bevel flat on a stone with no angle guide needed. The high-friction rubber handle stays secure in wet or cold hands. The military green sheath has a built-in belt clip and a drain hole, and the knife locks in with a firm click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAround Camp and on the Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnglers use the Companion for filleting fish and cutting bait, and the stainless blade handles saltwater well enough that kayak and wade fishermen keep one on board. Campers rely on it for food prep, whittling tent stakes, and carving feather sticks for a fire. It also earns a spot in a tackle box, truck, or tool shed for cutting rope, twine, and packaging. Two honest notes: the factory spine is polished and won't throw sparks from a ferro rod until you square it with a file, and the blade is too thin for heavy batoning. At this price, though, you get Swedish steel and a cutting geometry that many knives costing several times as much struggle to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morakniv","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67132670509297,"sku":"67132670509297","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/FT01468Final.jpg?v=1791381634","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/od-morakniv-companion-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
