Frosts Of Sweden & K J Eriksson Mora Sweden Knives

A Little History About Mora Knives

Erik Frost, from the village of Östnor outside Mora, first started making knives a hundred years ago. He was known to be a skilled knifesmith and very soon his knives won the reputation of being, reliable and correctly shaped. Their reputation spread both at home and abroad. Knife making was nothing new in Mora even a hundred years ago. It had been practiced there since the seventeenth century.

It is no exaggeration to say that the knife is one of man's oldest tools.

Over the centuries it has served as a weapon, a tool, an eating implement and an object of exchange. In everyday housework and in the food industry, a knife is used to cut, chop, clean and fillet. It is also used in many other fields. In and around Mora it is still used to carve wood - among other things the traditional Swedish wooden  horses. It is no accident that Mora has become the center of knife manufacturing.
