Handcrafted cutlery
They have different uses, you say. Yes and no! While a folding knife easily fits into your jeans pocket, apron or backpack, it nonetheless serves the same purpose as a fixed knife. Let’s look at the differences.
The folding knife is useful both at home and in the middle of nowhere. That’s its best selling point. It is undoubtedly useful for globetrotters, whether in a pocket, bag or sheath. Its closing mechanism and locking system make it 100% safe. It is multifunctional, practical and it meets every need. Its blade and tip can just as easily slice a thick steak, pick mushrooms, chop off roots when gardening or even add a finish to woodwork. While we don’t like the term ‘multifunctional’ at Morta Knives, we have to admit that the folding knife is always useful, anywhere. Its wooden handle and compact grip are comfortable and safe. Treated with vegetable oil in the workshop, it naturally acquires a patina from contact with your palm.
You choose a fixed knife when setting off on your travels. Does that surprise you? A fixed blade knife invites us to travel. With this knife you can venture into woods, climb mountains or even explore the bottom of your garden. It’s ideal in the kitchen, just draw it from its sheath to use it. The steel is the same as that of folding models. Stainless steel blades are best for cooking.
Fans of hunting, bushcrafting or survival knives also prefer fixed knives. A good quality case is essential. Shown here in black leather to go with the black Morta wood.
