Mora Amberg Stainless Steel - Deep Forests

The Mora Amberg Stainless Steel is a versatile outdoor knife designed for those ready to take the next step in their outdoor equipment. Built for long term reliability, it is suitable for everything from everyday outdoor use to extended trips in forests and mountains. The design balances strength, precision and comfort, making it a dependable tool for a wide range of tasks.

The blade measures 109 mm and is made from Swedish 12C27 stainless steel produced by Alleima. At 3.2 mm thick, the blade provides excellent durability for tougher outdoor work while still allowing precise control when carving wood or preparing food. The steel is cryogenically treated and hardened to around 58 HRC, helping the edge stay sharp for longer while remaining straightforward to maintain.

The blade uses a traditional Scandi grind which offers excellent cutting control and is easy to sharpen in the field. The spine is ground square so it can be used with a ferro rod when preparing a fire.

The Amberg features a redesigned handle which is slightly flatter and shaped to suit a wider range of grips. It narrows towards the blade and includes ridges along the spine area to improve control during detailed work. The handle uses a three component construction with a polypropylene core and an outer TPE layer, providing both strength and a comfortable, secure grip even in cold or wet conditions.

The symmetrical polymer sheath secures the knife with a click fit design and can be worn on either the right or left side for flexible carry.

Made in Mora, Sweden, the Amberg reflects Morakniv’s long tradition of producing practical knives designed for real outdoor use.

FAQ

How does the Mora Amberg compare to the Mora Garberg Stainless

The Mora Amberg and Mora Garberg Stainless are both strong outdoor knives designed for demanding environments, but they are built with slightly different priorities.

The Garberg Stainless is Morakniv’s heavy duty full tang outdoor knife designed for the most demanding bushcraft use. The full tang construction provides maximum strength for heavy work.

The Amberg focuses more on versatility and comfort. It keeps the same blade thickness but uses a lighter construction and a redesigned ergonomic handle which improves grip and control across a wider range of outdoor tasks.

Both knives feature a Scandi grind and a spine suitable for use with a ferro rod, making them practical for fire preparation and general bushcraft use.

Which one should I choose

Choose the Mora Amberg Stainless if you want a strong but comfortable outdoor knife that balances durability with lighter weight for regular outdoor use.

Choose the Mora Garberg Stainless if you want a full tang knife designed for the most demanding bushcraft tasks.
