Swedish knives: outdoor champions

Swedish knives are so good because they are made for real-life use. For thousands of years the Swedes have been closely cohabitating with nature. For this reason some of the best outdoor and bushcraft knives come from Sweden. For many in Sweden it isn’t only a hobby, it is a way to survive! Some of the most famous brands that produce Swedish knives are Mora, EKA, Karesuando, Hultafors and Casström.

Swedish knives with a Scandi-grind

Many Swedish knives have been enhanced with a so-called Scandi-grind, a flat zero-grind added to the blade. As such the blade is incredibly strong and easy to sharpen. Also, you will quickly notice that a scandi-knife is great for wood carving because of this grind. Think of the finer wood working tasks that are a part of the bushcraft life.
