Mora knife

The term originates from knives manufactured by the cutleries in Mora, Dalarna, Sweden.

[1] In Sweden and Finland, Mora knives are extensively used in construction and in industry as general-purpose tools.

Mora knives are also used by all Scandinavian armies as an everyday knife.

[2] Mora knives were mostly produced by the KJ Eriksson and Frosts Knivfabrik (Frost's Knife Factory) companies; they merged their brands under Mora of Sweden, later renamed Morakniv, but a number of other knife-makers also make mora-style knives.

[3] Other manufacturers of mora-type knives are Cocraft a house brand of Clas Ohlson,[4] Best Tools and Hultafors.
