Knife Review: Morakniv Lok BlackBlade

Knife Rundown

The Morakniv Lok presents a striking figure with its 3.2 mm thick blade, crafted from Swedish stainless steel known for its resilience and corrosion resistance. The overall length of the knife measures an agile 248 mm, making it a substantial yet manageable tool. Its handle, made from ash wood treated with black linseed oil, not only provides a natural and comfortable grip but also adds an aesthetic of understated elegance and tradition to the knife’s robust functionality.

Designed with the outdoors in mind, the Lok features a scandi grind blade that excels in wood carving, preparing kindling, and other precision tasks necessary for survival in the wild. The weight and balance of the knife are calibrated for ease of handling, allowing for both strength in cut and delicacy when needed. The grip is contoured to sit comfortably in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended use and improving control for detailed tasks.

The use of high-quality stainless steel ensures that the Morakniv Lok withstands the harsh conditions typical of outdoor environments. This material choice not only prevents rust but also maintains a sharp edge even after repeated use. The wooden handle, when cared for properly, ages gracefully, acquiring a patina that tells the story of its adventures.

Morakniv has designed the Lok to be a versatile companion for a myriad of outdoor activities. Whether it’s for bushcraft, camping, or even light game processing, the Lok steps up to the challenge. Its durable construction and efficient design make it an ideal candidate for everything from daily chores around the campsite to the more demanding tasks of wilderness survival.

The knife is not only a tool but a part of the outdoor experience, enhancing the user’s interaction with nature through its effective performance and beautiful design.
