Morakniv Stainless Steel vs Carbon

How it all started
There’s a long tradition of knife making in Mora. We have been creating sharp knives for the rest of the world for more than 400 years. For Morakniv the journey started in 1891 when Frost-Erik Erson returned to his home village of Östnor in Mora after four years in North America. When he opened his timber sled factory the first seed was sewn to what would eventually become the company and the brand that we know today - Morakniv.
In the beginning Frost-Erik only made knives for use within the factory, but production would soon start to grow. The term Morakniv was already well known at the end of the 1900’s, due to the area’s long tradition of manufacturing. Knives from Mora had made their way to users around the country by travelling tradesmen, or through bartering. With the founding of the factory, production could grow and more and more knives could be delivered across Sweden and the world.

Why didn't you put a patina on the blade to give it some reasonable measure of rust prevention/protection ? But, like you, I like my vintage KJ Eriksson 546 with the stainless steel blade and the renown button hole plastic sheath with the lizard skin plastic handle.

Hej! For my opinion, it’s not necessary to care about so cheap knife but I just clean blade using soil, it’s very good for clean metal. Thanks for comment!
