OutdoorHub 03.26.14
With Father’s Day approaching, sons and daughters around the world are scrambling to find the greatest gift for their much-deserving Dads. This month, Morakniv specialty knives from Sweden introduces three new models to the US market, offering a Father’s Day gift solution for every type of outdoorsman. Each of the three new knives include features that give the casual or serious outdoorsman added power and versatility. Made of high-quality knife steel that is optimally adapted to the tasks for which the knife is intended plus designed to fit the contours of the palm, Moraknivs are durable yet affordable, making them ideal gifts for dads.
New this year is the Bushcraft Black Serrated, designed to give hunters, fishermen and other outdoorsmen the added benefit of a serrated blade that grabs and cuts tough surfaces with ease. The 4.3-inch carbon blade is sharp and lightweight with a spine edge that has been ground especially for use with a fire starter. The Bushcraft Black Serrated comes with a black plastic sheath with belt loop. MSRP $79.99.
Also new in the Bushcraft line is the Black Tactical, with a 4.3-inch black-coated carbon steel blade designed to resist corrosion. The Bushcraft Black Tactical has a spine that can also be used with a fire starter and comes with a black MOLLE-compatible sheath made of heavy-duty nylon. MSRP $79.99.
When field tasks, such as chopping, call for a longer blade, the new Bushcraft Pathfinder fits the bill. With a 6-inch carbon steel blade and 0.125-inch thickness, the Pathfinder has a bit more heft than the others and sits securely in the hand. The Pathfinder comes with a black MOLLE-compatible heavy-duty nylon sheath. MSRP $129.99.
“Morakniv continues to produce intelligently-designed knives that help outdoorsmen do better work in the woods and in the field,” says Graeme Esarey, President of Industrial Revolution, Morakniv’s US distributor. “These new models in the Bushcraft line give hunters and adventurers an edge that makes field tasks easier and faster. The outdoor tool kit just got better.”
In Sweden, Morakniv has long been synonymous with exquisite craftsmanship and precision. Known for their long-lasting value, Morakniv knives are enjoyed for years, often being handed down through generations.
