Seattle, Washington – Mora of Sweden is proud to announce that their Morakniv® Bushcraft Black Tactical knife has been honored with Field & Stream’sBest of the Best 2014 Award in the knife category. The Best of the Best is the highest honor Field & Steam bestows on gear and the winning products meet the utmost quality and excellence in their fields.
“The Morakniv Bushcraft Black Tactical knife earned this honor by doing what a survival knife should do best—perform under extreme conditions,” said Field & Stream Deputy Editor, Slaton White. “The high-tech injection-molded handle adheres to the hand even when wet or in extreme cold, and the carbon steel blade can be sharpened with extreme ease to a scalpel-like edge.”
Manufactured in Sweden for over 400 years, Morakniv knives are versatile and affordable, giving users the benefit of centuries of design expertise. Made of high-quality steel, Morakniv blades are fashioned for accuracy and enjoyed for years, often being handed down through generations.

With a 4.3-inch black-coated carbon steel blade designed to resist corrosion, the Bushcraft Black Tactical has been proven to hold up after strenuous testing. The 6.3 oz. Bushcraft Black Tactical has a spine that can also be used with a fire starter and comes with a black MOLLE-compatible sheath made of heavy-duty nylon. MSRP $109.99.

About Best of the Best
Each year the editors at Field & Stream review new products and innovations and choose the top performing items for inclusion in the annual Best of the Best round-up. Field & Stream test-team members rigorously test each item during a process dubbed the “Field & Stream Torture Tests.” Products are shot, bent, driven, dropped, and generally abused. Anything that falters is immediately eliminated. Beyond surviving the torture tests, winning products are ultimately selected based on significance of the innovation, the quality of the design, and the value they bring to outdoorsmen. Selection criteria varies, depending upon the category, but all of the winning products share one characteristic: excellence in their field.
