Morakniv Risberg Hunting (S) – Swedish Stainless Steel – 91 mm

The Morakniv Risberg Hunting (S) is a technically refined, compact hunting knife specifically designed for tasks where control and precision are essential. Manufactured in Mora, Sweden, this knife combines decades of expertise with modern material properties. It is the ideal companion for the hunter seeking a reliable tool for lighter fieldwork, such as preparing feather sticks or performing precise cutting tasks.

The Risberg Hunting (S) is constructed from high-quality Swedish materials, optimized for use in demanding outdoor environments:

- Steel Type: The blade is made from 12C27 Swedish stainless steel. This steel type is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ability to maintain a very fine edge.
- Hardness: With a hardness of 56.5 HRC (Rockwell), the steel offers an optimal balance between toughness and ease of resharpening.
- Grind: The knife features a classic Scandi grind with a 23° angle. This ensures superior edge stability and makes the knife extremely efficient for woodworking.
- Dimensions: The blade is 91 mm long and 2 mm thick, resulting in a maneuverable knife with a total weight of just 112 grams.

This knife stands out for its ergonomic design and functional features:

- Maximum Control: The edge extends deep into the handle. This construction improves power transfer and provides the user with more direct feedback during precision work.
- Clip Point Blade: The subtle Clip Point shape of the blade ensures a sharp, controlled tip, ideal for opening packages or detailed cutting work.
- Low-Maintenance: Thanks to the rust-resistant properties of the 12C27 steel and the simplicity of the Scandi grind, the knife requires very little maintenance and is easy to sharpen in the field.
- Durable Plastic Handle: The ergonomically shaped handle provides a secure grip and withstands extreme weather conditions and heavy use.

To ensure the long-term preservation of the Morakniv Risberg, we recommend the following:

- Sharpness: The Scandi grind is best maintained using a flat whetstone or sharpening stone. By resting the entire bevel of the blade against the stone, you can easily maintain the correct 23° angle.
- Cleaning: Although the steel is stainless, we recommend rinsing and drying the knife immediately after contact with salt water or blood.
- Storage: Use the included plastic sheath for safe transport. The sheath is designed to keep the knife securely in place and protected from the elements.
- Application: Use this knife for the tasks it was designed for (cutting and filleting). Avoid heavy prying or batoning; thicker knives from the Morakniv collection (such as the Garberg) are better suited for these tasks.

The Morakniv Risberg Hunting (S) is a technically sound tool that excels in simplicity and effectiveness. The choice of trusted 12C27 steel combined with the proven Scandi grind makes this knife a reliable partner for every hunter. The objective verdict is that, thanks to its light weight and excellent control, the Risberg is a superior choice for anyone looking for a specialized knife for precision tasks in the field.
