The names that tell their story: Kansbol

Many small cottages and barns. The cattle graze on the plot outside and every morning starts before sunrise with milking the cows or goats. This was the scenery of the Swedish 'fäbod', a place where people historically spent their summers working and let their cattle run free in the surrounding nature. Every village had their own 'fäbod', many times even two or more. This way, their ancestors could walk with their cattle from one settlement to another during the summer. In the region around Mora there have always been many 'fäbodar' and many of them still exist today.

One of these 'fäbodar' is called Kansbol. It originally belonged to the village outside of Mora where their factory lies and all of their knives are made. Kansbol lies on a mountain and the view of the surrounding nature scenery is magnificent. The wooden walls of the cottages are filled with messages from the men and women who walked here with their cattle. 'Anna', 'Kerstin', 'Erik' and 'Anders', have all carved their names on the walls as a reminder to us of the hard and various work they performed. To name their knife Kansbol after the place and the people who lived there is Morakniv's way of paying tribute to their roots. The Kansbol knife--the flexible knife that can take on a great variety of outdoor tasks--is their interpretation of the life once lived at the 'fäbod' of Kansbol.

Knife Features

• The coil shape in the heart of the knife is strongly related to the heritage of Morakniv. The knife with the red coil shaped handle is probably as well known as the famous Dala horse in Sweden.
• The rhombus pattern is a traditional pattern that is present in many variations in Mora and the region of Dalarna. In the handle, the pattern provides a significantly improved grip. Beside its high functionality, it also pays a tribute to their region and history.
• The outer shell of the handle is made of TPE, a rubbery polymer that provides a firm and secure grip.
• The rear part of the handle has a hole for fastening a Lanyard, rope or other gadgets according to preference.
• The handle has a built-in click lock between the sheath and handle to ensure that the knife stays in place when worn around the neck.
• The core of the handle, visible in the barrel shape, is made of polypropylene. It is a polymer that makes the knife and the handle very rugged.
• The symmetrical handle allows flexible use of the knife with a twoway fit in the sheath. The drop design on the back is big enough to keep the knife steady in your hand.
• The knife is ground with a scandi grind which makes it easy to keep sharp.
• The blade has a semi-matte finish appreciated among the outdoor community.
• The blade is 2,5 mm thick and 108 mm long. It is made of high quality Swedish stainless steel (12C27) that is treated to optimal blade finish in their own factory.
• The spine of the blade is ground to make the edge perfect for use with a fire starter. This means that you do not need to use the edge of the blade when starting your fire, which makes your knife stay sharp for longer.
• The profile grind adds that extra touch to the blade. This is a very appreciated detail of Morakniv, that first appeared on their knives in the early 90s.
• The profile grind makes the knife perfect for tasks that require precision.

Multi-Mount Sheath Features

• The knife is kept safe in the mount with a Hook & Loop fastener. It allows for secure mounting as well as a fast and easy attachment. If you are looking for a more permanent fastening solution, the Hook & Loop fastener can be replaced with a cable tie.
• The Morakniv Multi-Mount is a versatile mounting solution that takes your knife use to the next level. It allows the knife to be mounted virtually anywhere you want. It is compatible with the MOLLE standard mounting system. It has strategically placed screw holes and slots for different types of straps. Attach and detach the knife from the mount in just a couple of seconds. Of course, it is also possible to just take the knife straight out of the sheath and use it.
• The secondary locking strap has details made of leather. This natural material is probably the best choice when it comes to durability in details like these, that are put to repeated wear and tear.
• When the knife is used together with the Multi-Mount you have the option of putting a secondary locking on the sheath. This is a feature most military units require when using the MOLLE system. It is also a useful feature when you want to be completely sure that the knife stays in place, for example during a bumpy ride with the ATV.
