Product Description
Basic 511 - Color of the Year 2024
Morakniv
The Basic 511, with its carbon steel blade, is one of Morakniv's most used and appreciated craft knives. The solid finger guard optimizes safety and the larger-shaped handle makes the knife sit even better in your hand. The blade is made of high-quality carbon steel - a steel quality that also makes the knife easier to re-sharpen so you can use it over and over again. Keep in mind that carbon steel can be affected by moisture and corrosive environments, so be sure to make it a habit of wiping your knife and oiling the blade after each use.
This knife is designed and intended for Scandinavian construction workers. Morakniv's priority is a sharp and durable edge with a good grip, which means that the look of the spine isn't a high-priority feature. You are more than welcome to use any of these knives for your intended needs, but keep in mind that the spine will be "raw" (not ground) on most craftsmen and construction knives. Therefore, it's not compatible with a fire starter.
