The Morakniv Companion is an all-round outdoor knife with a 104 mm (4.1 in) Swedish stainless steel blade, in anthracite, desert, military green, black, Dala red or hi-vis orange.The blade is 12C27 stainless, 2.5 mm thick and hardened to 56.5 HRC, and the knife is 219 mm (8.6 in) long. The molded handle has a rubber (TPE) grip and a finger guard, and the knife comes with a polypropylene sheath.Morakniv traces its start to 1891, when Frost-Erik Erson set up a wagon factory in Östnor, outside Mora, Sweden, and began making knives, mostly for the workshop's own use. In 1912 Krång-Johan "KJ" Eriksson, who had left Frosts, founded a second knife factory in Östnor with Lok-Anders Mattsson. The two companies came together in 2005, and all Morakniv knives are still made in Östnor.
