When I was a kid in the 50s I used to see Mora Knives from Sweden advertised in the outdoor magazines. They were made of three layers, the middle of hard steel laminated between two layers of softer iron.

They looked very simple and inexpensive with an ordinary looking wooden handle but they had a great reputation.

When I was a kid in the 50s I used to see Mora Knives from Sweden advertised in the outdoor magazines. They were made of three layers, the middle of hard steel laminated between two layers of softer iron.

They are excellent knives. I bought some in Norway. The middle layer is very hard steel and holds an edge well. However it it is brittle. The mild steel on the outer layers gives the knife its strength so it does not break.
