Product Details

The Morakniv 120 wood carving knife is designed for those eager to explore their creativity in carving. This versatile tool features a tapered blade made of carbon steel, measuring 2.4 inches in length, and an ergonomic barrel-shaped handle crafted from oiled Scandinavian birch wood. The full tang construction enhances strength and stability during cutting tasks. The knife is easy to re-sharpen, allowing users to enjoy continued use over time.
The blade’s thickness is approximately 0.1 inches, and the total length of the knife is 9.1 inches (230 mm). With a net weight of 2.5 ounces (69.5 g), including the protective sheath, it is lightweight and manageable. To maintain safety and sharpness, it is essential to store the knife in its sheath when not in use. Regular care includes wiping and oiling the blade post-use to prevent rust, as carbon steel is susceptible. Morakniv knives are preferred by skilled artisans, including those in Nusnäs, Sweden, known for crafting the iconic Dala horse.
