{"product_id":"morakniv-kansbol-stainless-steel-fixed-blade-knife-with-sheath","title":"Morakniv Kansbol Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Morakniv Kansbol is a stainless steel fixed blade knife built for all-round outdoor use: forest work, hunting, hiking, and camp tasks. Its 4.3-inch profile-ground blade balances the lightness of a carry knife with the durability of a heavier field tool. The Kansbol is available in Green and Burnt Orange, each paired with a plastic standard sheath, and both variants are made in Sweden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProfile Ground for Precision, Spine Ground for Fire Starting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kansbol's blade has been profile ground along its edge for increased cutting precision across detailed tasks: shaping wood splints, field dressing game, or slicing cordage cleanly. The 90-degree spine has been ground flat specifically so the blade can strike a fire starter, removing the need to carry a separate scraper. The fire starter is sold separately, but the Kansbol is ready for it out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eScandi Grind Keeps Sharpening Simple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kansbol uses a Scandi grind, a single wide bevel that meets the edge at a consistent angle. In the field, this means sharpening on a flat stone is straightforward: lay the bevel flat, stroke, repeat. There is no secondary micro-bevel to maintain and no guesswork about the angle. The stainless steel holds an edge well between sharpenings, and the semi-matte blade finish reduces glare without affecting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSheath Retention You Can Hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plastic standard sheath uses a built-in click-lock mechanism between the sheath body and the handle. The knife seats with an audible click and will not work loose during travel, scrambling, or pack carry. A lanyard hole in the handle gives an additional retention option when the knife is carried outside a pack or on a belt in rough terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 mm thick with a semi-matte finish that stays sharp through extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProfile ground edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped for increased cutting precision across a range of outdoor tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e90° ground spine:\u003c\/strong\u003e flat-ground specifically for use with a fire starter (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScandi grind:\u003c\/strong\u003e single wide bevel that is straightforward to sharpen in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClick-lock sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e audible retention prevents the knife from falling free during carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e allows secondary retention cord or attachment to pack or belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8.9 in (226 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.3 in (109 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSemi-matte\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePlastic, with click-lock retention\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLimited Lifetime\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in Sweden\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Colors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGreen (M-12872), Burnt Orange (M-13505)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Kansbol suits hikers, hunters, and camp cooks who want one fixed blade that handles fire prep, food processing, and general forest tasks without carrying a heavy knife. The stainless steel blade and click-lock sheath make it a practical choice for wet or humid conditions where carbon steel would need more maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Kansbol does not include a fire starter; that accessory is sold separately.

Morakniv designates stainless variants with \"(S)\" in the product name. Stainless steel requires less maintenance in wet conditions than carbon steel and holds a serviceable edge through extended outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the Kansbol be used to strike a fire starter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The 90-degree spine of the Kansbol has been ground flat specifically for use with a fire starter. The fire starter itself is sold separately and is not included with the knife or sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the sheath keep the knife secure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Kansbol's plastic standard sheath uses a built-in click-lock between the sheath body and the knife handle. The knife seats with an audible click and will not release without deliberate removal. A lanyard hole in the handle provides an additional retention point if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the Kansbol easy to sharpen in the field?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Kansbol uses a Scandi grind, a single wide bevel that meets the edge at a consistent angle. Sharpening on a flat stone is straightforward: lay the bevel flat against the stone and stroke. There is no secondary bevel to maintain, which makes field sharpening simpler than on many other grind styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhere is the Kansbol made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Morakniv Kansbol is made in Sweden.
