Morakniv Wood Carving Hook Knife 164

Knife arrives very sharp, happy with this purchase

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.

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。
