Generations of carpenters and wood carvers have appreciated the precision tools made by Morakniv in Mora, Sweden since 1891. Professionals worldwide trust the quality materials and fine craftsmanship of a Morakniv knife as they feature ergonomically-designed handles and employ premium-quality knife steel that is optimally adapted to the task for which the knife is intended. The Morakniv Wood Carving 164 Hook Knife for spoon and detailed wood carving is single-edged with a carbon steel blade (RC 59-60) and has a single bevel making it suitable for pull cuts with your right hand or for push cuts with your left hand. For superior strength and robustness, the tang of the knife extends completely through the handle while the oiled birch wood handle sits comfortably in your hand providing greater control, safety, and unbeatable performance. Does not include a sheath.
