Detailed description
With its blade forged in carbon steel, this knife with its distinct character is an ideal companion on hikes, camping trips or the dining table.
It is also an effective defensive weapon if attacked by a horde of wild sausages.
An outdoor knife! (But more than that)
An outdoor knife! (But more than that) Its excellent grip despite its compact size makes it a precious aid when camping and the indispensable knife for hikes, picnics, hunting or fishing trips or other outdoor activities.
Meals take on a special dimension when it is used as a table knife.
Materials
Plain Morta handle or optionally embellished with three mammoth ivory inlays.
This way you get the unusual combination of two fossils in one knife handle. 10,000 years for the ivory and 5,000 years for the Morta.
You can also choose the model with the blue border that adds a touch of modernity on a knife resolutely sized for adventure.
Its blade in carbon steel (90MCV8) forged in the workshop using traditional methods offers an excellent cutting edge and easy sharpening. This steel will take on a beautiful patina from use over time.
The blades are forged in the workshop but due to the influx of orders, we are happy to be able to count on the aid of our colleague and friend Frédéric Marchand, who forges certain blades for Morta Knives, in addition to his personal production.
Care instructions
Like all knives made with natural materials (wood, horn, etc.), avoid the handle coming into contact with water.
The frequent contact between your knife and the palm of your hand will give it an authentic patina that will make your Morta unique.
The blade in carbon steel (90mcv8) will show the stamp of time and give your Morta knife a unique charm.
Any questions?
Can we visit the workshop ?
Yes. We gladly welcome you from Monday through Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in September to June and to 7 p.m. in July and August.
You will discover our unfiltered work environment: noise, dust and good spirits. Nothing is staged or orchestrated. One of us will give you a presentation of the material, the extraction techniques and the different product models here.
What are the differences between the steels ?
With a bit of common sense and lots of love 😉
Avoid submerging your knife. For added safety, simply avoid the handle coming into contact with water, because like wood or horn, Morta is a natural material that does not like water.
You can rub a little beeswax over the handle to brighten up its colour subtleties. Place a drop of oil in the mechanism if necessary. But generally speaking, normal use requires nothing in particular in terms of care.
