Morakniv unveils the Colour of the Year 2025 in Siljan Blue and Dala Red

Morakniv unveils the new colours of the Morakniv Basic. Every year, the Swedish brand releases a limited edition colour of its well-known Morakniv Basic. Both models of the Morakniv Basic come in their own unique colour combination. The Morakniv Basic 546 Stainless features a blue handle with a red core, while the Morakniv Basic 511 Carbon has a red handle with a blue core. These knives will not only appeal to collectors who are fans of the brand but also to enthusiasts who appreciate colour combinations with a story.

For 2025, the chosen colours are Dala Red and Siljan Blue, both of which hold special meaning. These colours are selected based on unique aspects of the Dalarna region. So, you’re not just buying the knife for its appealing colours, but also because it carries a story from its surroundings. Below, we explain their origins.

Dala Red

The red colour of the handle is characteristic of the paint used for houses in the Dalarna region. Originally, this colour was derived from copper ore waste and is also known as Falu Red, named after the city of Falun, where the copper mine was located.

Siljan Blue

The blue colour of the handle and sheath is a tribute to Lake Siljan, located south of Mora. On a clear day, when the blue sky reflects on the lake, you get a blend of the colour of the water and the sky, making this shade of blue truly unique.

Whether you're a collector or simply looking for a unique and functional knife, the Morakniv Colour of the Year 2025 is a must-have that combines craftsmanship and tradition.
