Mora Knives: The Best Fixed-Blade Knife for Bushcraft, Carving, and EDC
When it comes to reliable, affordable fixed-blade knives, few names carry as much weight as Mora Knives. Crafted in Mora, Sweden, these knives have earned a global reputation for quality, durability, and versatility — without the high price tag.
Whether you're deep in the woods, whittling at home, or just need a dependable blade for daily tasks, Morakniv offers a model built for the job. At Ragweed Forge, we've proudly stocked Mora knives for decades, and they remain a top choice for bushcraft, carving, and everyday carry (EDC).
Why Mora Knives Are So Popular
Mora’s global success isn't built on marketing hype — it's built on performance. Their philosophy is simple: create hardworking knives using proven materials and practical designs, all at a fair price.
Scandinavian Craftsmanship Meets Everyday Utility
Here’s what sets Mora knives apart:
1. High-Quality Blade Steels
Mora offers both carbon steel and stainless steel blades:
-
Carbon steel holds an incredibly sharp edge and is easy to resharpen — perfect for woodworking and heavy cutting.
-
Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for humid climates or kitchen tasks.
Compare carbon vs. stainless steel knives to find the right fit.
2. Scandi Grind for Precision and Power
Many Mora knives use the Scandi grind, a flat bevel design that excels in wood processing. It’s easy to sharpen in the field and gives superb control — a favorite among bushcrafters and carvers alike.

3. Ergonomic Handles
Mora handles are built for grip and comfort — whether you’re using polymer models in the rain or traditional wood handles by the fire.
4. Unmatched Value
It’s hard to beat Mora on price-to-performance ratio. These knives are tough enough for serious outdoor use but affordable enough for beginners.
