Morakniv Eldris Color of the Year 2026 Fixed Blade Knife, 12C27 Stainless, TPE Dala Red/Orsa Sandstone, Polypropene Sheath, M-14813

Eldris Color of the Year 2026 (S) is a compact outdoor knife made of Swedish stainless steel with a ferro rod compatible spine. Easy to carry in your pocket, backpack, or tool belt, it’s just as useful for everyday tasks as it is for carving, cutting branches, or starting a fire. The colors Orsa Sandstone and Dala Red draw inspiration from the pink-tinted sandstone of Orsa, which for over a thousand years has been used to sharpen tools and shape craftsmanship.

Compact outdoor knife in Dala Red and Orsa Sandstone

Color of the Year 2026 unites Morakniv’s craft tradition with the colors and design language of Dalarna. Orsa Sandstone and Dala Red reflect the meeting between the sandstone’s light, natural tone and the classic Dala red – a tribute to craftsmanship and history. The 59 mm long blade in Swedish stainless steel (12C27) is 2 mm thick and has a ferro rod compatible spine.

For everyday tasks, outdoor life, and fire preparation

With an Eldris in your pocket or pack, you always have a small but capable companion at hand. It handles everything from carving and cutting smaller branches to creating sparks with a ferro rod in the field – and works just as well for everyday chores at home.

Friction grip for safe use in all conditions

The molded TPE rubber handle features a textured friction grip for secure handling even in cold or wet conditions. The symmetrical polymer sheath fits both right- and left-handed users and can be combined with the Eldris ferro rod kit and belt loop (sold separately).

Profile-ground blade in Swedish stainless steel

The 2 mm thick, 59 mm long blade is made of Swedish stainless steel (12C27) with a recycled content of over 80 % and a hardness of 56.5 HRC. The blade is profile-ground with a ground spine for use with a ferro rod.

Made in Mora, inspired by Orsa

Since 1891, Morakniv has crafted knives with the same uncompromising focus on function and durability. The Color of the Year concept celebrates Morakniv’s craft heritage and Dalarna’s color culture – inspired by Orsa’s sharpening-stone history, where generations of craftsmen carved and shaped the pink sandstone that once honed tools far beyond the region.
