Morakniv Eldris Fixed Blade Color of the Year 2026 Dala Red-Orsa Sandstone FS14813

At its core is a 2.32in blade crafted from Swedish stainless steel (12C27) produced by Alleima. Known for its balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance, this steel is heat-treated to a nominal hardness of 56.5 HRC and finished with a precise profile grind. The 0.08in blade thickness keeps it nimble for carving, slicing, and detail work while still holding up to tougher outdoor use. A ferro rod compatible spine adds fire-starting capability, making it a practical companion when conditions turn unpredictable.

The handle is molded from durable TPE rubber in a striking combination of Dala Red and Orsa Sandstone. It’s designed with a textured friction grip that stays secure even when wet, cold, or muddy, giving you confident control in any environment. The symmetrical polymer sheath supports both right- and left-handed carry, and its compact design makes it easy to clip into a pocket, pack, or tool belt without bulk. A lanyard hole adds extra carry options when needed.

Inspired by the sandstone of Orsa, a material used for over a thousand years to sharpen and shape tools, this Color of the Year edition pays tribute to the deep roots of Swedish craftsmanship. Paired with the iconic Dala Red, it reflects a meeting of natural heritage and traditional color culture from Dalarna, where function and artistry have long gone hand in hand.

Lightweight at just 2.78 oz, compact at 6.02in overall length, and built for real use rather than display, the Eldris proves that small doesn’t mean limited. It’s a reliable tool for carving wood, prepping kindling, cutting cord, or sparking a fire when the moment calls for it.

Dala Red and Orsa Sandstone bring heritage straight into your pocket, available at SMKW.
