Morakniv Unveils Limited Edition Colors of the Year

Basic 511 and 546 Knives Will Showcase Zorngården Yellow and Dala Red

Morakniv is proud to unveil their limited edition Colors of the Year for the Morakniv Basic 511 and 546 knives. This year’s limited edition color draws inspiration from the iconic yellow of Zorngården, located in the heart of Mora, along with Dala Red, which has given character to Mora knives for decades.

Zorngården was once the home of Sweden’s most famous artist, Anders Zorn. The building, designed by Zorn himself and completed in the early 20th century, serves as a significant source of inspiration for the limited edition color of these exceptional knives.

From Zorn’s artist home to the iconic red hue, the connection is no further than a brush stroke on a palette. The rich Dala Red color, strongly associated with Mora, Dalarna, and Sweden, has played a special role in the history of Morakniv since 1912. It was in that year that the knives manufactured in Mora received their characteristic red handles, becoming a symbol of craftsmanship and quality.

Martin Tomt, Product Manager at Morakniv, highlights the exceptional features of the limited edition Basic 511 and 546 knives: “The two faithful servants both have ergonomic handles with a robust finger guard that optimizes the safety and makes them sit nice and steady in the hand. The blades are different, Basic 511 is made of high-quality carbon steel while Basic 546 is made of recycled Swedish stainless steel – both loved by professionals and hobby craftsmen.”

The Morakniv Basic 511 & 546 Limited Edition 2023 will be exclusively manufactured during the course of this year. This limited run of knives showcases Morakniv’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and paying homage to the artistic heritage of Sweden.

Building on more than 400 years of Swedish tradition, Morakniv has produced knives of unparalleled quality for hunters, adventurers, fishermen, farriers, chefs, craftsmen and other skilled trades and hobbyists since 1891. Thoughtfully designed for precision and power, Morakniv products are still produced in their factory in Mora, Sweden.
