106 Wood Carving Knife

The Morakniv Wood Carving Knife 106, made from carbon steel, is an excellent tool for wood carving. Since I first found Mora knives on Amazon in 2021, I've bought over a dozen for various tasks, including bush crafting, wood carving, and even cooking. I keep them in my camper, sling bags, backpacks, kitchen, and cars. These knives are known for their great quality at a reasonable price. This knife is no different; it holds its sharpness for a long time while working with different woods. The birch handle is not only attractive but also comfortable for long use. It arrived super sharp, so be careful, and it features a high-quality logo, proudly made in Sweden, which I really like. I keep my knives lasting longer by stropping them a few times, depending on how long my project takes. I mainly use this knife to get a polished finish at the end of my projects, and I always achieve fantastic results. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and might consider getting more Mora knives soon, as I find them affordable and competitive with knives that cost twice as much.

I own a ton of knives. But I'd never considered how great the bevel on this would be for woodworking until it was recommended to me. It's a totally different tool. I'm sure there are fancier ones and cheaper ones. I wouldn't bother with either. Just buy this. If you're even looking at this, you'll love it. The blade is great out of the box and holds an edge well. It is so easy to hone freehand because of the huge bevel. I mostly just touch it up after longer sessions with a fine grit or just a strop. I only have had to really sharpen once because of a very abusive mistake against concrete. It is really comfortable in the hand. Like "you don't think about the tool while you use it" comfortable. Just an instant extension of the body. It complements chisels well for finer work and leaves a perfect tool mark free finish. I played with carving green wood and that was a blast. I imagine if you're into whittling or spoons it would be perfect. I've mostly used it on dry hard and soft woods for detail, tight curves, touching up chamfers, etc. It works well with and across the grain. The only downside is that the sheath is plastic. I'll probably replace that at some point, but it works fine and it's not like that was some kind of surprise. The sheath is still well made for what it is. I've never put it on my belt, though. I can't dock it for that. But a nicer sheath will be nice, because I'd like to have it near me whenever I'm working.

I had a flex-cut similar I shape and I tried this brand. Really sharp! I like the laminated steel best. A master carver teased me at first until he tried it and I ended up ordering him one and he's tickled!

Out of the box this knife was out of this world sharp, unlike anything from the kit I started with. I love the overall quality of the knife. There isn't anything else I could ask of it. I've been using it for the past 3 weeks to whittle Christmas presents for my family and it has been a major upgrade. The reason I came back to write this review is due to the fact that I read someone complaining about how dull their knife was and didn't think it was worth it. After having used this knife extensively, I can majorly disagree with that statement and I have the cuts to show for it. This knife is incredibly sharp and will remain sharp if correctly stropped. It's so sharp that the cuts you potentially get on your fingers are SIGNIFICANTLY cleaner than anything else, no joke. Its a weird metric for quality trust me I understand haha.

If you're reading this review, you're probably on the fence about purchasing this knife. Well, let me give you a little shove. Get off the fence, put this in your cart, and buy it. I can't say anything negative about this sloyd knife. The handle size, fit, grip, and weight make this an incredible value for the money. I currently have three of these. I use them primarily for spoon carving. The knife comes razor sharp out of the box and will stay that way with a little bit of stropping. If the strop won't bring back the razor sharp edge, a few passes on a 1000 grit diamond stone and a bit of stropping will. I have no trouble getting and keeping the edge sharp enough to shave the hairs off my arm. Can you buy a nicer sloyd? Yep. But do you really need to? I'm very happy with my Moraknivs. I think my next one will be the blade only without the handle so I can make a custom handle just for the fun of it

This is a great option for a whittling/carving blade. Mora is always amazing. The knife is well made and performs. It also ticks the box as a traditional styled blade. It's fully carbon steel, so you've got to take care of it, but the blade and the wood handle will slowly patina overtime, turning it into a companion and an heirloom.

Very nice. Very comfortable in hand, blade very sharp, equally good at removing a lot of material quickly as well as delicate finish cuts. Definitely recommend!

Great knife

Well done and work is done smoothly with this tool ;)

I wondered what all the hype was about, but now I understand how well made and how incredibly balanced this tool is. Its like a natural extension of your hand. Worth every penny.

Muy buena herramienta para la talla de madera, es muy cómodo y práctico para detalles. Al ser acero al carbon, necesita una capa de aceite para evitar el óxido.

Great little carving knife! Came extremely sharp wich inwas impressed with! I highly recommend for wood carving
