Morakniv
Basic 511 carbon steel knife
Ships within 3 to 5 business days.
The Basic 511 is Morakniv's construction knife, originally designed for Scandinavian construction workers. Everything about it is designed to be safe and affordable: a distinct finger guard that prevents the hand from slipping onto the edge, a thick handle that can be held while wearing gloves, and a carbon steel blade manufactured at the factory in Mora, Sweden. Carbon steel offers a sharper bite than stainless steel and can be resharpened with just a few strokes on a stone, provided it is stored dry.
Highlights
- Distinct finger guard: prevents the hand from sliding onto the edge, even when pushing
- Carbon steel: clean cut and quick resharpening; store dry
- Made in Mora: the blade comes from the brand's historic Swedish factory
