Morta Knife Lock Back

Morta Pump Knife – A Year in the Making

Engineered for strength, reliability and everyday elegance, the Morta Pump Knife is the result of nearly a year of development. Compact yet robust, this folding knife is designed to slip into any pocket and perform in urban life, outdoor adventures, and even gastronomic exploration. Its folded-steel body and rear pump locking mechanism make it a solid, trustworthy companion.

Compact Design & Secure Pump Lock

With a reduced footprint that fits comfortably in the pocket, the Morta Pump Knife combines discreet carry with serious durability. The folded steel frame provides excellent resistance to wear, while the rear pump (backlock) mechanism delivers a firm, reassuring lock when the blade is open — engineered for safety and confidence in use.

Fluid Action & Thoughtful Mechanics

The blade rotates on a stainless steel 304L pivot axle. Two Teflon washers ensure an unusually smooth and precise deployment, while a fixed stop prevents the cutting edge from contacting the internal mechanism when closed. The result is a silky, reliable opening and closing action that feels premium every time you use it.

Blade Performance & Materials

The Morta Pump uses high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, hardened to 59–60 HRC. This choice offers an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening — perfect for an everyday carry (EDC) knife that needs to be both practical and long-lasting.

Aesthetic Language & Brand Details

Contemporary in its minimalist curves yet charmingly retro in its visible pump-lock silhouette, the Morta Pump remains unmistakably part of the Morta family. Signature details include a brass lace-pass, brass rosette fastenings, a generously proportioned blade and a handle covered with Morta (ancient bog oak), giving each knife a unique patina over time.

Everyday Utility

Despite its refined finish, the Morta Pump Knife is a true working tool. Its compact profile and confident ergonomics make it ideal for everyday tasks, outdoor uses — from picnics to hikes — and precision jobs in the kitchen or workshop. It is designed to be used, enjoyed and relied upon.

Like all knives made with natural materials (wood, horn, etc.), avoid the handle coming into contact with water. The frequent contact between your knife and the palm of your hand will give it an authentic patina that will make your Morta unique.

Care & Maintenance

• Blade: Sandvik 14C28N is corrosion-resistant but should be rinsed and dried after exposure to salt or acidic substances.
• Pivot & Washers: occasional light lubrication keeps the action smooth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Handle (Morta): naturally oiled for protection — avoid prolonged immersion in water. The Morta will develop a warm patina with regular handling.
• Sharpening: easy to sharpen on a honing rod or natural whetstone thanks to the blade’s steel properties.
