The Industrial Revolution changed the world and the company Industrial Revolution will introduce their game changing Morakniv brand at the 2014 SHOT Show in just two weeks. Manufactured in Sweden, these specialty knives offer 400 years of craftsmanship.
Made of the sharpest steel available, Morakniv blades are fashioned for accuracy. The handles are designed to fit the contours of the palm, becoming, in effect, an extension of the hand.
The Bushcraft Orange (left above) keeps you from losing your knife while the .125” thick stainless steel blade is heavier and more robust. You can use the back of the blade with a fire starter as the spine of the blade is sharp and ground especially for that purpose. The plastic sheath comes with two interchangeable belt clips.
The Companion Serrated (center) in orange is a knife with a patterned high-friction grip and serrated blade that has been developed for cutting rope, nylon, and fiber. Blade of Swedish-rolled special stainless steel. Plastic sheath with a belt clip.
The Fishing Comfort Fillet 155 (right) is a classic filleting knife with a blade of Swedish cold-rolled special stainless steel. Patterned high-friction grip handle and “Easy-Clean” sheath with two interchangeable belt clips. MSRP: $24.99
