MORAKNIV All Fixed Blades Mora M-106-1630 Wood Carving 106 Fixed 3.25″ Laminated Steel Blade, Birch (Sweden)

The handicraft classic.

Morakniv’s craft knives are well known and greatly appreciated for their sharpness and precision. Not least, the craftsmen in the village of Nusnäs use them to carve one of Sweden’s most famous national symbols, the Dala horse. The Woodcarving 122 has a blade specifically designed for chip carving. The laminated steel gives it superior toughness and edge resiliency. The full tang, which runs the full length of the handle, gives it strength and stability. Compared to its sibling the Woodcarving 120, this knife has a slightly longer blade for more generous cuts. The spindle shaped handle made of oiled birch wood is slightly larger for a proper grip. The wood also gives it a natural feeling and also gives you the possibility to form the handle for optimal shape.

Laminated steel is unique for knives from Morakniv. The core of the blade is made of high carbon steel surrounded by a softer alloyed steel layer. A high hardness, HRC 58-60, can be achieved through hardening, and the result is a knife blade with superior toughness and cutting edge retention. Thereby it reaches maximum sharpness and long life. The blade can also be bent into a predetermined shape, which makes knives with these kinds of blades appropriate for woodcarving.
