Morakniv Woodcarving Basic Sandvik Stainless Steel Wood Carving Knife With Sheath, 3 Inch

My 11 year old daughter wanted to learn how to whittle, so we’re on this adventure together. I bought her a different one with a couple extra safety features, but love this one for me! I’m a knife guy and this is not my first Moriniv! Solid European products at prices that seem too low. I don’t have much to compare it to as far as whittling, but the grip to blade ratio is perfect. Blade has a nice grind and edge, too. The grip is a little slick, but shaped perfectly. I may rough it up a little, or add some tackiness. Easy 5 stars!

I bought specific wood carving knives, yet this inexpensive Mora is of much better build quality and works much better. If you just want a superior yet inexpensive knife for whittling wood by a campfire, this is perfect. And at $10-15 it’s a no brainer.

I bought this knife, since I was thinking of taking up spoon-carving, and it served perfectly for that purpose. It has good handle and the blade is of a convenient size.

Good knive.I like it.

Two more of these because I can't imagine not having at least one! Great knives for just about everything except chopping or splitting wood, but for carving... I have all the other wooden handle carving knives from Mora, but they're all Carbon Steel, and meant to be oiled or waxed for protection. They're excellent for carving, but for just one knife I pick this Stainless Steel blade. It takes a beating and stays sharp! The steel is very hard and the only way to get that fine edge back is with a diamond hone. It's also a great bargain at the price. Don't let the plastic handle fool you into thinking this knife isn't as good as those full-tang versions for carving. The plastic is Very Tough, hard to cut and hard to drill. There you see the 2 new ones with the one I've had for years. The paracord goes through a diagonal hole that you need to use a tiny bit to get through to the other side then work up to large enough diameter to easily push the paracord through. This is an old bushcraft way of keeping your knife from leaving your grasp (which is important with a knife this sharp!) the old one on the right has just enough room for the little finger, the other two are more relaxed for the last 2 fingers. I also saw off the belt hanger because I either carry the knife in my pocket or it's in the tools bag with the other cutters, scrapers, rasps and chisels. This Stainless Steel 3 inch Carving Knife is well worth it and an excellent tool for carving!

Sharp as a razor!! Beautifully made knife with a plastic (heavy duty plastic) handle!! Has nice weight and great edge retention!!

it’s a moraknivgreat bang for the buck

This knife is razor sharp. It has a good weight and feel for carving. I'm using it for carving wood spoons and unlike many carbon-steel blades it's ready to use right out of the package. The knife fits snugly in the holder. I've only had it a short time but I feel confident recommending it!
