Morakniv Wood Carving No.106 Laminated Carbon Steel 3.2 Inch Knife Blade Blank

I ordered the blade only version because... even though I have a high respect for this tool maker... I have always felt that their handles are nowhere near the quality of their blades. The rounded/oval shape of their handles is fine but they are way to short for my hands... which really make a difference here because they just cut off the end abruptly, leaving a hard edge to cut into the palm.So... having said that, I made my own handle... and did a terrible job at it. But if I were to order again... I would still just get the blade. It has a nice long tang that is easy to work with (even when you are a poor handle designer, like me).The blade holds and edge well and the tip narrows nicely to a point. I would like to get another blade... but about half as long for more detail carving.

Beautiful little blade... and very sharp...

I am not necessarily a woodcarver, I don't see the point to spoons, and I do not know how to, or what the heck is, or where to find, a slojd; BUT I am an avid, obsessive woodworker. I grab a knife hundreds of times during a traditional cabinet or furniture build. I had the shorter one for quite some years before seeing Jarrod Dahl grabbing a boutique knife very similar to this one. I handled it, then put it to work. After poking the palm of my other hand for about a month, I cannot see myself going to any other knife. The thin, long tip is intuitive to use in sensitive, small areas, and the length makes a scissor or shear cut effective. Laminated steel has faded away from readily available tools, sadly. This is my recommendation for anyone wanting a knife for woodworking, no matter what one chooses to make.

It appears that someone dropped it on the tip and bent the very tip in. I think I can grind it down but it's brand new and it's damaged. That's kind of upsetting. It's packaged in cardboard and this only could have happened at the manufacturer before the packaging. It looks really nice though otherwise. The shipping took much longer than it was supposed to. It was supposed to be one day. Normally one day is two. That was shipping. It got to Kentucky and then went the wrong way and took about three days to find.

I love mora knives. The Swedish steel is something special. It really says something when Japan imports iron ore from there for their high end steels. I am not a wood carver, but this blade shape and size are very useful. I cut part of the tang off and wrapped it in paracord. It makes for a nice EDC fixed blade.The edge is very hard. It will hold and edge for some time. Do not pry with this! The core is too hard to weather flexing. You can actually see the line where the steel has been laminated around the hard core. Keep it oiled because this is carbon steel. It's made for its sharpness not corrosion resistance.Overall and excellent knife for those who want to place a handle on one. Will probably get another and put an antler or bone handle on it.

Nice knife with a great profile.

It's Mora from Sweden, not more to say. Grow up with Mora knife, scouts in Norway all had one. My neibour country Sweden make a lot of good steel products

It's a nice sharp knife that sharpens well.
