Mora Kansbol & Garberg Dala Red

Garberg Dala Red

The Garberg really seems to suit Dala red and the colour brings one of Morakniv's newest knives back full circle to the colour of their first knives, when they were painted in Dala Red to emulate the more expensive mahoganny wood.

Garberg Dala Red Blackblade

The Garberg Dala Red managed to look both classic and modern at the same time, we really like the finish. Especially the factory coordinates across the blade. Both of the red Garbergs still feature the same 3.2mm firesteel compatible blades as the original black knives.

Kansbol Dala Red

The red Kansbol is a really nice colour addition to the range by Morakniv. Green is the normal go to for most in the bushcraft industry, we're a big fan of adding a bit of colour to our kit though. While retaining all of the features of the current Kansbol we're sure this new Dala Red will be popular!

What Is Dala Red?

Dala red is named after a Dalecarlian horse which was carved and handpainted, originally from an area of Sweden called Dalarna.  Anders from Morakniv was walking home in 1912 when he overheard two workers talking about a mahoganny handled knife, while nice it would make their knives too expensive, later that evening he had the idea to use Dala Red to paint the knives and that's how the knives got their colours!
