For more than 130 years, the Morakniv Classic No. 2 has been a staple among woodworkers, bushcrafters, and craftsmen across Scandinavia and beyond. Born in the knife-making town of Mora, Sweden, and refined over generations, the Classic No. 2 isn’t just a cutting tool—it’s a symbol of reliability, heritage, and timeless craftsmanship. Today, it continues to serve those who value function, tradition, and simplicity in one elegant form.
The 4.2-inch drop-point blade is crafted from premium carbon steel, known for its exceptional sharpness, edge retention, and ease of resharpening. Whether you're carving, slicing, or doing fine detail work, the blade delivers consistent, clean performance every time. The polished finish adds a refined look while protecting the steel from everyday wear. Lightweight yet sturdy, this fixed blade is engineered for versatility—perfect for carving tasks, camp chores, or daily use around the homestead.
Its red-stained birch handle is instantly recognizable and deeply rooted in Swedish knife history. The barrel-shaped design offers a natural, comfortable grip for both push cuts and precision work. Made from durable, sustainably sourced wood, the handle gives a warm, organic feel that synthetic materials simply can’t match. Over time, it develops a unique patina, further adding to its character.
The knife comes with a rugged black polymer sheath featuring a secure belt clip, allowing for safe, convenient carry in the field or at the shop. The sheath is molded to hold the knife snugly while keeping it easily accessible, reinforcing the Classic No. 2's role as an everyday companion.
Combining traditional Swedish design with modern refinements, the Morakniv Classic No. 2 stands as a testament to practical beauty. It honors its origins while rising to meet the demands of today’s outdoor and workshop environments. Whether you're restoring furniture, carving spoons, building shelters, or simply splitting kindling, this knife will feel like an extension of your hand.
