The Morakniv Duty Service Food is a compact, safety-focused fixed blade utility knife from Morakniv's Duty series, specifically engineered for the food processing, packaging, and service industries. This "Service" model prioritizes quick, low-risk tasks like opening boxes, trimming packaging, portioning, or light prep in commercial kitchens, warehouses, or production lines—where a short, blunt-tipped ("safety") blade reduces puncture hazards during repetitive or awkward handling. The metal-detectable blue handle and sheath ensure compliance with food safety protocols (HACCP, detectability for foreign object prevention), while the hygienic stainless steel blade and no-crevice design allow easy sanitization in wet or high-hygiene environments.
Specifications:

Blade Material: Swedish stainless steel (excellent corrosion resistance, reliable edge for light duties, easy sharpening, and full food-grade approval)
Blade Style: Straight utility with rounded/blunt safety tip (sheepsfoot-like profile to prevent accidental stabs/punctures; smooth non-serrated edge optimized for clean, controlled slicing of cardboard, film, tape, or light food materials without tearing)
Blade Finish: Satin / plain polish (hygienic, low-glare, easy to clean and inspect)
Overall Length: Approximately 6.3–6.7 inches (160–170 mm estimated based on similar Duty models)
Handle Material: Blue metal-detectable polymer (food-safe, impact-resistant plastic with ergonomic barrel shape, pronounced finger guard for slip prevention, and secure grip in wet/oily/gloved conditions; includes lanyard hole for tethering)
Handle Features: Smooth surfaces (minimal bacteria traps), contoured for comfort during extended shifts, friction-enhanced texture in key areas
Weight: Approximately 2.5–3.5 oz (70–100 g) – ultralight and balanced for fast, fatigue-free use

Other Features: Full tang (partial/hidden for streamlined hygiene), no coatings (pure stainless for food safety), pre-sharpened and ready for professional use, food-grade certified, metal-detectable components throughout
Country of Origin: Sweden (handcrafted in Mora with Morakniv's 130+ years of expertise)
Intended Uses: Food industry service tasks (opening packaging, trimming film/tape, light portioning, box cutting), commercial kitchens, warehouses, production lines—excels at safe, hygienic, quick cuts in high-volume environments where injury risk from pointed blades or contamination must be minimized; great for compliance-focused facilities
The Morakniv Duty Service Food 14652 is tailored for "service" roles in food handling: the ultra-short blunt blade minimizes stab risks common in fast-paced settings, while the stainless construction resists rust in humid/wet areas and maintains a clean edge for sanitary performance. The metal-detectable blue elements allow rapid detection if lost or broken, and the smooth, ergonomic handle/sheath combo supports thorough cleaning and secure carry. As part of the Duty line's food variants, it's a practical, compliant tool for butchers, packers, processors, or service staff needing a low-profile, high-safety utility knife. Maintenance tip: Rinse/sanitize with hot soapy water or approved agents after each use; dry completely; sharpen on a fine stone or ceramic rod as needed (no special tools required). A compact, safety-first professional choice from Morakniv!
