Morakniv Wood Carving Hook Knife 164

I've owned some mora carving knives for well over a decade, incl a few double edged hook knives and several righties that come in the 2-knife set. As a lefty I learned a long while ago to be flexible and semi-ambidextrough when using handtools. But, I wanted a lefty hookknife I could do push and pull cuts lefty style (you can hold the righties lefthanded for a lot of movements). Some thoughts on this: blade not sharp. sharp enough to cut a finger, not even sharp enough to cut basswood cleaning the blade is much much thinner than my other hook knives. the machine grind on this knife is terrible--this thing needs additional shaping, dressing up on at least two grits of stone, and then it'll be ready for the strop. the back was never deburred or polished or anything else--it is rough, ugly, janky looking the sheath/cover, which intrigued me, hugs the blade too tightly--if you get grit in it you'll ruin the blade So anyhow, after 1-2 hours of work on it I have the thing serviceable, but more in the category of a flexcut knife (emphasis on flexxxxx) than what I'm used to seeing from mora. Mostly this has me wanting to check out what 2cherries or pfeil have to offer in this style. I'd rather pay twice as much for something a bit more refined. Honestly, for a beginner I would recommend the flexcut options since at least they're polished up.

Expected alot better knife dull out of the box

I got this product thinking it would be quality and affordable I have yet to see either of these things I got it about a week or two ago never used it yet and there’s rust all over it definitely dissatisfied considering it’s 33$

A good spoon knife for the money. Comes sharp, must learn how to use on grain direction.

I was waiting so much for this ! But it is not well finished, the part where you should be able to put your finger hurts it is not even sanded. I can’t use this in this condition. The blade was very good like very good. I am waiting for a response from morakniv, because I know mistakes can happen. I am going to change and update my review after I receive a response from someone. Update: it looks like I need to learn how to use the hook because the company told me all their hooks look like that and i should not put my finger there either. I saw other brands and they don’t look like this, they will well finish this part too but I guess this is not important so my bad. Like I said before the blade is veeery good. Amazon sent me another one to check and it was the same thing so I am returning that one and staying with the first one because I already use it.

Very poor instructions for sharpening. Difficult to hold an edge.

Kind of a disappointment. I have owned several mora knifes over the years and they have always arrived near razor sharp and been easy to keep that way. This one had a very poor edge of our the box. It had a heavy burr on the inside. Having never owned a curved knife like this it took some messing around to find a method of sharpening. I ended up getting a decent edge in the end but it took several hours. I think I could do it in 20 or 30 minutes now. I also bent it into a bit tighter curve to reduce the width of the chip. The soft wood I was using didn't like to cut across grain with the larger curve.

Easy to use. Sharp. Just what I expected.

Knife arrives very sharp, happy with this purchase

Come tutti i Mora, anche questo è un utensile eccellente. Perfetto per intagliare coppe e cucchiai in legno. Ottimo copri lama in cuoio che protegge la lama dagli urti e le dita dalla lama stessa. Arriva già affilato come un rasoio.

Macht was es soll. Sehr scharfes Messer zum Löffel schnitzen. Einfach, aber gute Qualität. Die Lederhülle macht Sinn.

初めてのMoraknivです。made in swedenでおそらくスウェーデン鋼なのか削っても削っても刃が鈍にならず切れ味抜群です。あまりもの切れ味に怪我しないように注意が必要です。刃を収納する革製のホルダーも経年変化を楽しめそうで長年にわたって愛用できそうです。いい値段しましたが買ってよかったです。

Super tranchant et top qualité sauf manque pochette de protection de la lame
