Our woodcarving knives are well known and appreciated precision tools that are used by wood carvers in Nusnäs, for example. This is where one of Sweden’s most recognized national symbols – the Dala Horse – is carved.

The Mora
106 is a brilliant woodworking knife, whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just
beginning. The first thing that I think makes the 106 great is that it’s a cheap
knife, but is top quality. The laminated steel blade takes a razor’s edge
without a great deal of effort, and holds it. The barrel shaped birch handle,
whilst plain, is comfortable to hold in a variety of grips.
The shape
of the blade is really what makes it a winner for me. It tapers to a thin point, great for delicate curves or kolrossing. The stick tang goes
all the way through the handle, allowing you to make bigger, more powerful
cuts. I prefer this longer, thinner blade to the Mora 120 (another great woodcarving knife from Mora at a similar price).
The birch
handle is symmetrical, which means you can’t tell where the edge of the blade
is by just gripping the handle. If you’re paying attention to what you’re
doing, this shouldn’t poise a problem. However I have rested my thumb on the
edge of the blade by accident on a couple of occasions. However, the handle is
easily customized.
The 106 blades are also available without a handle, allowing you to make your own.

Wow, thanks for sharing this wood carving tool. This knife looks beautiful yet sharp. I wonder if some other day you share the wood carving too.
