Four steel grades are used for knives from Mora of Sweden.
Stainless steel (S)
Knife blades are made of hardenable stainless steel- Sandvik 12C27 (hardened to HRC 57-58), producing knives with extreme strength, long life as well as having high resistance to moisture without rusting.
Carbon steel (C)
Knife blades of high carbon steel (1095) can be hardened to HRC 59-60 giving best possible sharpness to lowest price. Please note that for export markets most of the knives of carbon or laminated steel are oiled or treated to prevent rusting during transport and storing. Knives made from above mentioned steel grades will after some use achieve a dullish grey finish. However, this will not negatively affect the quality of the blade.
On the contrary it will somewhat improve the resistance to corrosion.
Triflex (T)
This modified carbon steel is best described as a material between laminated steel and plain carbon steel hardened to HRC 59-60 with a softer surface that improves the tensile strength considerably. Though it will not allow bending as laminated steel.
Laminated steel (L)
This steel grade is unique to knives from Mora of Sweden. The core of the blade is of high carbon steel surrounded by a softer alloyed steel layer. A high hardness (HRC 61) can be achieved through hardening, resulting in a knife blade with superior toughness, cutting edge retention and thereby maximum sharpness and long life. The blade can also be bent into a predetermined shape.
For use around water, especially salt water, stainless steel may be the better choice.
Many Nordic knives come without a guard (like most kitchen knives). This enables you to make cuts you could not do otherwise, but you do
have to be careful not to cut yourself.
Sheaths can be worn on a belt with a maximum thickness of 1.5 inches (3.81 cm). Many also have a slot for fastening to a button, such as a coverall button. This is very tradtional in Scandinavia, and
modern coveralls and jackets. It's easy enough to open up the belt loop if you prefer. The sheaths are thermoplastic, which means they get
soft when warmed. If you warm the belt hanger, and insert a piece of wood or even a ruler, it will keep the new shape when it cools. See

best features of both the older Frosts and Eriksson brands. The sheath has an

swiveled for comfort when sitting. There are currently four models in the series.

and .077" - .078" thick. They come with the same plastic sheaths as the Erikssons.

with an unpainted handle and a leather sheath. For those with smaller hands it works
better than the #22 shown below, yet has a similar traditional style. Besides being a fine
all purpose knife, this would complement any period (or modern) garb. A very good choice for re-enactors or traditional style woodsmen. The laminated carbon steel blade is about 3 7/8" (97 mm) long, 11/16" (17.5 mm) wide, and about .105" (2.7 mm) thick. The handle is unfinished birch which can be stained

Stainless Steel Knives with Guards
Knives with guards are often used by Scouts and other children in Scandinavia. It is something of a rite of passage when
the child is considered skilled and careful enough to remove the guard.
These are from Eriksson, and made with the excellent Sandvik stainless steel. The Rockwell hardness of
the blades is about 58 on the "C" scale, and they really hold an edge. The tangs run the full length of the handle and are secured at the pommel with a collar. They come with
simple stamped stainless guards and birch handles. These knives are a much better choice for use around salt water. A flat leather sheath with a keeper strap is provided.
#34 has a 4 7/8" stainless blade with an upswept point to give a bit of curve for skinning. There is a
single stamped guard so you can get your thumb or forefinger on the back of the blade. The unfinished birch handle is about
4" long, and sized for medium hands. This would make a good hunter's knife.
