Jannes Knagg 1910

Jannes Knagg 1910 - 1933

Johannes Knagg or Jannes Knagg as he referred to himself, made knives during a shorter time, from 1910 to around 1933, in a small workshop (just 2 stories high) located 3km west of Mora.

He opened his business with the help of his aunt that lent him the money he needed to start, who probably never got paid back since we developed a financial problem that leads to the closing of the business

After closing down the operation, machines and tools were bought by Kråk-Anders Persson (K.A.PERSSON).

The old factory building was torn down in the 1970s.

J. Knagg had his own sheath production and also made spectacle cases.

His willingness to spend time with me and record a video interview was truly a remarkable experience that I will cherish forever. The video in links bellow in the article. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvgZJciZBG4 A few months ago, I wrote a couple of articles about Mors Koshanki, who I believe introduced and popularized the Mora knife in the bushcraft, survival, and outdoor living skills scene, especially in North America. Can be found here https://oldmora.blogspot.com/2021/12/Morskochanski.html and and https://morakniv.se/en/morakniv-stories-en/in-memory-of-mors-kochanski-1940-2019/ However, Cody Lundin is another person who brought the Morakniv to the spotlight. Most people know Cody from his appearances on survival shows on TV, such as "Dual Survival" and "The Today Show". However, it was on "D...
