Morakniv's tenth-anniversary Garberg goes all-white for the maker's 135th year — 1,350 numbered knives per steel, and the US store has already sold out.
Verdict
| What it is | Morakniv Garberg Arctic White 135 × 10 Black Blade (C) — the full-tang Garberg in an all-white limited edition: black DLC-coated C100S carbon steel blade, molded white handle, white polymer sheath, each knife laser-numbered on the blade flat |
| Price | 1350 SEK — Morakniv (morakniv.com), checked Tue Nov 10, 2026 |
| Availability | Still listed at the maker in Sweden at re-check; sold out on Morakniv's US store in both steels. The stainless edition runs alongside at 1200 SEK |
| The angle | Two anniversaries — 135 years of Morakniv, ten of the Garberg — marked in winter camouflage |
| Verdict | Same working Garberg, numbered and all-white — and the US allocation is already gone. |
What it is
Start with the sell-out. Morakniv's US store has already sold through both steels of the Garberg Arctic White; the edition survives, for now, at the maker in Sweden, where the carbon version featured here was still listed at 1350 SEK when re-checked today. The knife itself marks two anniversaries at once: 135 years of Morakniv, and ten years of the Garberg — the maker's full-tang bushcraft knife, made in Mora, Sweden.
The treatment is total. The handle is molded white, with a traditional Dala pattern and a finger guard; the sheath is white polymer, ambidextrous, with a belt loop; against all that white, the blade is black — C100S carbon steel with a black DLC coating, 109mm long and 3.2mm thick, Scandi-ground, at 57.5 HRC. Morakniv frames the white as winter camouflage for snow-covered landscapes. Each knife is laser-numbered on the blade flat, in the format 1 / 1350; 1,350 numbered knives are made per steel. A stainless edition runs in parallel — Swedish 14C28N at 58 HRC, 1200 SEK at the maker — also sold out in the US.
Underneath the edition treatment, the tool is the standard Garberg brief, unchanged: full-tang construction with the tang exposed at the pommel for batoning and scraping, a ground spine that works as a striker for a ferro rod. The carbon knife weighs 209g on the maker's figures.
Why it matters
Limited editions of working tools usually compromise the tool — a finish too precious to use, a price that turns a knife into a shelf object. This one doesn't. The Arctic White is the working Garberg with a numbered blade and a snow camouflage treatment, priced at the maker's own store at 1350 SEK, and the numbering is honest scarcity: 1,350 per steel, etched on the flat where you can read it. The US sell-out is the market's own verdict on that arithmetic. If the edition appeals, the remaining route is the maker's Swedish store, and the re-check says that route is still open — today.

What to check before buying
- The US store is sold out — in both steels. The live route is the maker's own store in Sweden at 1350 SEK for the carbon; order on Swedish terms, and re-check before you commit, because the Swedish stock is the last of it.
- Carbon or stainless is a real choice. The featured carbon (C100S, black DLC) is the version in the maker's cover photography; the stainless 14C28N edition runs alongside at 1200 SEK and gives up nothing in the specification that matters.
- The number on the blade is the edition format, not a promise. Each knife is individually numbered of 1,350 per steel; the "1 / 1350" knife in the maker's photography is its press knife.
