The Morakniv Bushcraft BlackBlade (C) is a full-tang-style fixed blade knife built for bushcraft and camp tasks, featuring a 4.3-inch carbon steel blade coated for corrosion resistance and a spine ground to 90° for reliable fire-starter use. The knife ships with a black plastic sheath with belt loop and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
Carbon Steel Blade Built for Bushcraft Work
The Bushcraft BlackBlade's carbon steel blade is 4.3 inches long and 3.2 mm thick, a geometry that holds a keen edge through sustained wood processing, food prep, and camp utility tasks. Carbon steel takes a sharper edge than most stainless alloys and responds well to field sharpening with a whetstone or ceramic rod, so a blade that dulls during a multi-day trip can be brought back to working sharpness without a shop. The anti-corrosion coating extends service life in wet conditions and reduces the maintenance burden that bare carbon steel would otherwise demand.
90° Spine Ground for Fire Starting
The spine of the Bushcraft BlackBlade has been ground to a true 90° edge specifically to throw sparks from a ferrocerium fire starter. Knives with a rounded or beveled spine (not designed for this task) produce weak, inconsistent sparks or damage the striker. Having that capability built into the blade means one less dedicated tool to carry. A fire starter is sold separately and is not included.
Handle Designed for Extended Use
The ergonomic handle uses a high-friction rubber grip that keeps the knife secure in wet or gloved hands. A handle that shifts or rotates under load increases fatigue and the risk of a slip during carving or batoning. The grip geometry is shaped to feel like a natural extension of the hand across a range of grip styles (overhand, pinch, and chest-lever), which matters on tasks that run longer than a few minutes.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Bushcraft BlackBlade suits campers, overlanders, and bushcraft practitioners who want a dedicated fixed blade for wood processing, camp tasks, and fire starting with a ferrocerium striker. The carbon steel blade and 90° spine make it a capable choice for anyone who prioritizes edge performance and fire-starting utility over a maintenance-free blade.
The Bushcraft BlackBlade does not include a fire starter, which must be purchased separately. Carbon steel requires more attentive drying and occasional oiling than stainless steel blades; buyers who prefer a lower-maintenance option should consider a stainless steel variant instead.
Common Questions
Is a fire starter included with the Bushcraft BlackBlade?
No fire starter is included with the Morakniv Bushcraft BlackBlade. The knife's spine has been ground to 90° to work with a ferrocerium fire starter, but that tool must be purchased separately.
Why does carbon steel require more care than stainless steel?
Carbon steel holds a sharper edge and sharpens more easily in the field than most stainless alloys, but it is more susceptible to rust and staining if left wet or uncleaned. The Bushcraft BlackBlade's anti-corrosion coating reduces this risk, but drying the blade after use and applying a light oil during storage extends its service life.
What sheath does the Bushcraft BlackBlade come with?
The Morakniv Bushcraft BlackBlade includes a black plastic sheath with a belt loop, suitable for right- or left-side carry on a standard belt.
How long is the blade, and what is the total knife length?
The Bushcraft BlackBlade has a 4.3-inch (109 mm) blade and a total length of 9.1 inches (232 mm). The blade is 3.2 mm thick and the knife weighs 5.7 oz (162 g).
