The laboratory

In the heart of our factory in Mora, Sweden, we have our very own laboratory and testing facility. Here, our engineers and product developers are running repeated and continuous tests of both existing and future knife models. Every step is a part of our continuous work to assure that the knives that are being delivered to you are of the highest possible quality. To have a lab in our very own factory brings many valuable opportunities. We can take a knife straight from the production line, and in a matter of seconds put it to the test in the laboratory. This of course goes the other way round: as soon as we make an important discovery, or get an interesting test result, we can instantly apply the new knowledge to the production process. The laboratory facility holds many different kinds of machines and advanced technical solutions, tuned to test and evaluate all the different parts of the knife. How much bending force can a Robust take? For how long does a Chef's knife keep its extreme sharpness? As the results are being compiled and evaluated, we can make all the adjustments and calculations needed to improve our high quality products even further.

The most important aspect of any knife is its sharpness. Our knives are known and appreciated for their ability to stay sharp for a very long time. A great part of that feature is of course the grinding of the blade. Another great part are the repeated tests and evaluations we run in the lab

Many of our knives need to be flexible. This mainly applies to our wide range of food processing knives, but all our models need to have strong and reliable blades. The laboratory allows us to test and evaluate the bending force, so that we can ensure that the way we treat the steel - according to our SGM® (Steel Grade Mora) standard - is as well functioning as ever.
