In woodcarving, a sharp knife is essential. A dull knife can turn this creative activity into an irritating and dangerous one, while a truly sharp knife makes the process much smoother. This Morakniv 162 knife features a double-edged stainless steel blade, suitable for both pull and push carving. Its blade has a smaller curve compared to other hook knives. The design has been optimized to glide smoothly inside spoons or bowls. The improved edge bevels enhance the carving experience. Specifications include a stainless steel blade, 55 mm in length and 2.0 mm in thickness. The knife length is 164 mm, and the total length is 170 mm. It comes with a leather sheath.
Using this wood carving knife is straightforward. For pull carving, firmly hold the handle and pull the blade towards you gently, following the shape you want to carve. For push carving, apply steady pressure and push the blade forward. When using it, always pay attention to your fingers and keep them away from the blade to avoid cuts. Also, make sure you are working on a stable surface. To maintain this knife, after each use, clean the blade with a dry cloth to remove any wood chips or debris. You can also use a light oil to prevent rust. Periodically sharpen the blade with a proper sharpening tool to keep it in good condition and ensure a smooth carving experience.
