This version features the familiar Morakniv design with a full, narrow tang (rat-tail tang), a blade in German carbon steel (C100S), and a barrel-shaped birch handle stained red. I found that the overall length of approx. 253 mm and the blade length of approx. 136 mm provide a balanced combination of control and reach. The 2.5 mm blade thickness adds rigidity while still allowing for precise cuts.
In use, I appreciated how the red birch handle sits comfortably in the hand, even during longer cutting sessions. The carbon steel blade holds a sharp edge well, but I noticed it needs to be dried and oiled after contact with moisture to avoid rust. The sheath is black polymer with a belt loop of vegetable-tanned leather, making it practical to carry.
If you want a tool that combines classic style, solid performance, and full-size capability for versatile tasks, the Classic No. 3 is a compelling choice. Stock of this version is often limited, so it can pay off to secure one while it’s available.
